Rush Officially Named To Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

Posted by Chris Harris on December 11, 2012 in News

This is cool, but also not cool. Deep Purple have been flatly dismissed from the 2013 class of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, but Rush did secure enough votes to make into the hall.

Alice In Chains Working On New Record…Says Chick From Heart

Posted by Chris Harris on July 20, 2011 in In the Studio, New Records, News

Why the hell is Ann Wilson of Heart talking about the new Alice in Chains record? That’s what I thought when I first found out that Alice in Chains are making another record. Then, I read that Ann Wilson is apparently an old friend of the band. How? Why? I mean, no disrespect to Heart Read More

Peter Steele Died One Year Ago Today

Posted by Chris Harris on April 14, 2011 in News

I know…where does the time go? Soon, we’ll be marking Paul Gray’s one year anniversary, and then Dio’s. Last year was fucked up. But if I am going to be honest, it was Peter Steele’s death that hurt me the most. I am from New York; I was born in Brooklyn, raised on Long Island, Read More

You’d think…after reading this story from SavannahNow.com, which Blabbermouth somehow found online today. I mean, the thing is, sometimes, the cat is let out of the bag. Most of the time, the bag is opened by someone in the band…a tour booker. Some small venue’s Web site jumps the gun. But this time, it was Read More
