Last year I posted a bunch of "love" songs on Valentine's Day and it turned out to be one of our more popular posts this past year. Maybe a lot of folks out there look for some Lover's Rock to populate some iPods for their betrothed...I don't know, but if it ain't broke don't fix it right? I have a lot of fun doing it, but sometimes it's kind of pain to keep on eye on last year's songs and previous posts so I don't repeat myself. As much complaining as I do about repetitive programming on the [...]
Dana Carvey host Saturday Night Live this week, and a good portion of the show was a nostalgia-fest devoted to reminding us once upon a time, the dude was a big star. Luckily, the sketch devoted to the return of the most metal public access show in Aurora, IL, went first, so it had the [...]
by: Jeremy Ulrey Dallas-based Def Leppard cover band Pyromania are taking (presumably unexpected) abuse this morning as news spreads through viral circles that they have sought - and found! - a one armed drummer. In particular, a Huntington Beach, CA cover band by the same name (no big coincidence, as it was the title of ...
Filed under: News A furious war of words has erupted between two Def Leppard tribute bands after one of them placed an advert seeking a one-armed drummer. On a picture posted on Stereogum.com , Texas-based Pyromania are taking their tribute to its logical conclusion saying, "Seeking one-armed drummer (no prostetics) [sic]." The unintentionally hilarious and literacy-challenged advert goes on to read, "Must have pro gear, flame retardent [sic] kit and stick. No dope fiends - if your [sic] [...]
El de Def Leppard es uno de los regresos más esperados del rock en este 2011. Sin embargo, según las declaraciones del vocalista Joe Elliott que recoge Classic Rock , no será con un disco de estudio sino con uno en directo. A día de hoy es muy fácil grabar tus directos en un disco duro. Por eso tenemos todo nuestra gira pasada grabada en tres o cuatro discos duros. Así que no nos queda más remedio que escuchar unas 50 versiones de cada una de las canciones que hemos [...]
Empire is 20 years old? Really?
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing [...]
Back in high school, Brett and I were brothers in arms. Rock and roll arms that is. A tad more seasoned than I was, Brett burst my musical cherry by taking me to my first big-time rock concert; AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent, Blue Oyster Cult , and Boston . Or was it Journey headlining? Hell, with all the acrid smoke wafting in and around my virginal nostrils that day, I'll never remember. But I do know that Brett also introduced me to the endless hours of joy [...]
Photography by DarkMagoo ... Can you imagine that there was ever I time that I 'defended' Bon Jovi over Metallica in the schoolyard? So what that I was only 11 when I did that. I must been've stoned out of my fucking skull trying to convince people that those poodle haired assfaces were anywhere near the acknowledged kings of thrash metal. Anyway, that time has long gone since. What hasn't gone though is my undying love for the crappy music genre that's called Hair Metal ! It's not that I play this [...]
Filed under: What's That Song? 'Pour Some Sugar on Me,' Def Leppard When a paramedic picked Rick Allen's left arm off the ground on the last day of 1984, Allen's drumming career looked bleak. Yet, before long, Allen -- despite losing his arm in a violent car accident -- was drumming again. And while his Northern England accident once threatened the future of his band, Def Leppard 's first post-wreck album, 'Hysteria,' became their first No. 1 two years later. [...]

Iron Maiden with Di'Anno or Iron Maiden with Bruce Dickinson ? That's a debate Pope and I love to have, over and over, endlessly for the last 19 years. Pope's firmly in the Dickinson camp, and his reasons are sound. Dickinson had the pipes, the air raid siren vocal chords, and there's no doubt he's a great frontman. Without Dickinson, Maiden never would have become, well . . . MAIDEN. But that's not what it's about for me. With Di'Anno, Maiden possessed something they lost the day [...]
It's anyone's guess as to who's going to be getting the boot on tonight's elimination episode of "Dancing With The Stars"! Some of the scores are pretty close! Santana started off the show by performing his song, "Oy Como Va!". Starting off with the lowest scoring couples of last night's show, Michael Bolton and Chelsie Hightower are safe. Following that, Margaret Cho and Louis Van Amstel are also safe. [...]
Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "I Will Not Take These Things for [...]
I love reading groupie biographies. It's sort of a hobby of mine. I've read everyone's, from Pamela Des Barres to Catherine James to Marianne Faithfull (she counts), and am eagerly awaiting the memoirs of Cherry Vanilla, the woman who heroically blew half of New York to get David Bowie on the radio. Some women go [...]
A special birthday playlist... Def Leppard - Joe Elliott - Adam Duritz - Adam Duritz of Counting Crows - Social Sciences
A shower of glorious love to David Hepworth and The Word for pointing the world in the direction of the New York Times wedding section . Always a haven for the unexpected - it should be subtitled "if I'm compromising, at least I'm going to do it as publicly and expensively as possible" - this week, they recorded the nuptials of Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Helen Simmons: Ms. Simmons, too, felt a spark. "But emotionally, there were a lot of other things going on with us," she said. The other things included [...]
Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. Since it's hair metal week here at MetalSucks, it seemed only appropriate to consider a glamtastic question. So we asked our writers: WHICH HAIR METAL BAND FROM THE '80s BEST STANDS THE TEST OF [...]
After grunge got so popular that MTV's 120 Minutes and Headbanger's Ball somehow became practically the same show, a lot of hair metal bands tried to harden and "modern up" their sound - usually to disastrous results. Herein, a few of my favorite examples, presented in chronological order of their release. First up we have Warrant's [...]
You've been reading the MetalSucks/Bring Back Glam! countdown of the 10 Best Must-Have Glam Metal Albums this week (part one here, part two here), so you've noticed that our Anso DF and BBG! chief Allyson B. Crawford's Glam-crazy chemistry is like one of those Tarantino scenes where rogues trade passionate dissertations on Madonna or armed [...]
