Being as how Alice Cooper had played the exact same set for the five shows prior to his date at the Midland on Friday night, I wasn't really expecting any surprises. I knew there'd be a couple tracks from last year's Welcome 2 My Nightmare , and the rest would be heavily focused on those classic early albums - Love It to Death , Billion Dollar Babies , and Killer .… [ [...]
After four non-stop days in the sun, with little or no sleep, it can prove pretty futile to try to express one's Bonnaroo experience. "GIANT GAGA FRANKENSTEIN! FRUITY-PEBBLE-S TRAWBERRY-MASHMALLOW TREATS! MERENGUE DANCING DOG! " Initially, it tends to not make a whole lot of sense (or maybe that makes perfect sense?). After a week of editing photos and properly reflecting on our weekend on the farm, here are the 10 moments that made Bonnaroo 2012, in mix form. While you're listening, here are some of our favorite images from the weekend, and be sure to check [...]

Despite little to no sleep from the night before, Day 3 of Bonnaroo brought endless energy and stellar performances.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers set provided a nod from the festival's past without losing the band's foothold in the present day. In various combinations, members Flea, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer along with touring percussionist Mauro Refosco improvised their way before returning to the next [...]

I know what you're asking: "What the fuck is a 'post-menopausal drag queen?'" I understand that drag queens are not really women, and therefore do not suffer through menopause. But I don't know how else to describe Cooper. I mean, let's talk about what has happened to this guy. He's sixty-four, but man, he looks [...]
If you haven't invested in multiple cans of Red Bull, some company that rivals them, or cocaine (which we would never condone, ever...), taking in everything is taking it's toll. But that's what festivals are all about - an overloading over experiences with music, discovering new artists and meeting new people and being marketed to. Like any festival Bonnaroo keeps getting better as the days continue. Conflicts galore of course, but a highlight for a good amount of those in attendance will be the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 10:00PM at the What Stage. [...]

Photo credit: Taylor Crothers Folks, it’s almost time to pack up your tents, hitch a ride and head back to the farm: Bonnaroo is today! The four-day festival, which takes place on the grounds of a 700-acre farm in Manchester, TN, returns for its eleventh year and retains its unique charm while keeping up with the times. Though recent headliners have been decidedly more mainstream rock, and lineups over the past few years have featured strong undercurrents of hard rock, bluegrass, country, hip-hop, and electronic, Bonnaroo has [...]

Later this week upwards of 80,000 music fans will descend upon Manchester, Tennessee to see scores of bands, comedians, DJs and more at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival , which this year turns 11. The fest humbly began back in 2002, hosting around 50 mostly jam-oriented bands across four stages. Over the past decade Bonnaroo has grown exponentially and will see nearly as many acts perform on its first day alone this year as at the whole event in 2002. For this year's fest, the promoters have once again put together a lineup that is stacked from top to bottom [...]
I'm not a huge metalhead, but it's hard not to get sucked into That Metal Show when I come across it on VH-1 Classic (which is often the case on weekday mornings before work). Hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson are crazy about metal - and with their lively discussions, album & artist list rankings, and the variety of guests they bring into the studio for interviews - it's hard not to get caught up in their passion for the music. Last week, Alice Cooper dropped by the show for an interview, and [...]

Hey wow Memorial Day weekend was pretty wild, right American metal people? I mean, as residents of Earth's best nation, we are duty-bound to party our nutz/nipz off in tribute to our fallen heroes. And that's exactly what we did for three crazy nights and three gruesome days. (Well except Anso, who was um detained [...]

ARTIST: Alice Cooper - [DVD] Live 1979 - The Madhouse Rock Tour DATE: 05-20-12 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams The Seventies were an interesting time for rock n' roll. By then, the music was already old enough to vote but rock n' roll had become increasingly about the show and the showmanship which went along with the music. By 1975, David Bowie was doing shows so big they famously used a cherry-picker arm and featured the [view more]
Happy Saturday! It's a beautiful sunny day, in NYC at least, and if such things make you feel like nothing more than holing up on the couch for the day, then you could do a whole lot worse than spending today in the company of 2005 documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey , which has recently surfaced in its entirety on YouTube. The film is a pretty great exploration of what it means to be a metalhead, and features interviews with a load of metal luminaries, including Alice Cooper, the late Ronnie James Dio, Lemmy, Tony Iommi, Iron Maiden's Bruce [...]
With literally hundreds of episodes worth of material to choose from, a movie adaptation of the horror soap opera "Dark Shadows" should have been a breeze. Unfortunately for the Tim Burton remake, the only thing the film really managed to adopt from the original show was the show's penchant for the tedious. For anyone who watched the show and could make it past a 50 episode discussion about whether a car accident was really an accident, you know that despite the slow pacing, the show just got better as it went along and there was always a pay-off. The movie, [...]

Yeah Okay, You're Right : So it's less than a month away now, and we've not said a word about it (yo, things got hectic around here!), but we're still very excited for the 'roo. You probably already know what Bonnaroo is, but on the off-chance you've been hiding in a cave for the past 11 years, there's a huge music festival that's about to happen on a lovely farm in Manchester, Tennessee from June 7th through the 10th. For a long weekend, music fans flood the small Tennessee town and camp out [...]
