That’s fitting. Who else are you going to get, really? Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters bandmate, drummer Taylor Hawkins, will be inducting the mighty Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a few weeks. The 28th annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony will held on April 18 at Read More
Fat fucking chance of that shit ever happening. I think Steven Adler might be back on the junk. Someone check his piss. In a new interview, Adler says that while it’s cool and all being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of Guns N’ Roses, it’d be really swell if his Read More
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. Deep Purple was also beat out by Heart, Public Enemy, that turd Randy Newman, Donna Summer and Albert King. Read More
This site claims that Deep Purple’s bassist Roger Glover spoke with them recently. When he did, Roger said that Deep Purple has completed work on 14 songs for a new studio album. The band’s working with producer Bob Ezrin, who the Deftones fucking hate. The band’s planning to record 11 or 12 tracks for a Read More
That’s right, folks. Ritchie Blackmore — a living legend, and the defiler of a woman half his age, making him my idol — says “couldn’t care less” about Deep Purple’s justified nomination for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013. “I would never go,” says the former Deep Purple guitarist. “I’m Read More
Fresh on the heels of the news they’d been nominated for the 2013 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame comes a trailer for Deep Purple’s box set. Convenient timing. The box set drops in Europe next week, to commemorate the 40th-anniversary edition of the band’s classic 1972 album, Machine Head. With five Read More
It’s about motherfucking time. Both Rush and Deep Purple (along with Yes, The Moody Blues, and a bunch of other bands) belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s criminal that they’re not yet in, I do declare. Rush and Deep Purple were announced as two of the 15 finalists for induction into Read More
And this one is super fucking confusing. Axl Rose has written another letter to fans explaining his decision to not attend this past weekend’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction; in Axl’s absence, the band members who did show performed songs from Appetite for Destruction with Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy. You know, GN’R could Read More
Perhaps paving a path for a Guns N’ Roses reunion without Axl Rose, former Guns N’ Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke took to the stage during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and played three songs. Axl wasn’t there, so Slash’s ace B.C. Myles Read More
It seems everyone’s been talking about Axl Rose this week, after dude unceremoniously told the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he declines induction into their special little club. This weekend, the rest of GN’R will be in Ohio to accept the honor. Maybe Axl just doesn’t want to go to Ohio. That, I would Read More
