So what was your entre into the world where denim, leather n' demonology reign supreme? Where you adore the goat and sway to the symphony of deee-struction? Every man (or woman) has a tale to tell. Here's mine. You're gonna hear a lot of names you might be unfamiliar with, especially if you're a member [...]
Brutal Legend sounds like it could be the name of a brand-new metal band. But while it isn't that, it certainly has something to do with heavy music. As we reported in May, the forthcoming Xbox game can be seen as a tribute to all things metal. Here's the premise: The world is in peril, and only Eddie Riggs (voiced by Jack Black) can save it. His weapon of choice? Hard effin' rock! The game also features animated appearances by Lita Ford (pictured) , Lemmy Kilmister, Judas Priest's Rob Halford and the golden god [...]

Filed under: Music Appreciation Jude Law was spotted at a Motörhead concert in London's Royal Festival Hall recently, where frontman Lemmy Kilminster says the actor came backstage "while I was still covered in sweat and told me he loved it." Unlike some legal issues from the bandleader's drug-addled past, this Law wasn't even out to get him. "He was really nice," says Lemmy. "I was surprised." We'll take bets Law said the same thing.

One of the greatest songwriters and singers in rock and roll, Paul McCartney turns 67 on Thursday (June 18). With the Beatles and later as a solo performer and bandleader, McCartney created some of the best (and worst) music in rock and roll history. He isn't as cool today as he was in the 1960s, or in the early part of the 1970s, but even at the twilight of his career McCartney is still a formidable talent. His album Electric Arguments , released as The Fireman late last year, was considered to be one of the year's best and [...]

Written by Danny R. Phillips Metallica , the bay-area giants that legitimized "thrash metal" with albums like Kill 'Em All , Master of Puppets , …And Justice For All and "The Black Album" were welcomed into the hallowed confines of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4, 2009. Their inclusion, though absolutely deserving in every conceivable way, poses a wider question to my ever curious mind: Will the inclusion of now two "metal" acts, [...]

Filed under: News , Holy Hell Last year, a toy company released an action figure of Motorhead 's Lemmy Kilmister that purports to capture him "in all his Motorhead glory." In the metal legend's eyes, there's one glaring inaccuracy -- the doll isn't anatomically correct. Lemmy originally voiced his frustrations in a conversation with the manufacturer of the officially licensed doll. "I said to the guy who made them, 'Are you gonna put a d--- on it?'" Lemmy tells Hustler. "He said, 'No.' I said, 'Then it's not going [...]

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me: Ten Lords a Leaping Nine Ladies Dancing Eight Maids a Milking Seven Swans a Swimming Six Geese a Laying Five Golden Rings Four Calling Birds Three French Hens Two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree Christmas Eve Eve. Are you done shopping yet? I used to have an uncle who would work until 5 p.m. every Christmas Eve, then set out to do his shopping before coming over for dinner. He [...]
An oldie but a goodie from The Onion: "I remember a time not long ago when the Devil Horns were reserved for only the most righteous of person, deed, or riff," Grand Elder Lemmy Kilmister said. "To see someone throwing the horns to his mate at the launderette because the clothes dryer came to a full [...]
As he has with numerous shows around the country this summer, Motörhead singer/bassist /rock & roll god Lemmy Kilmister announced at 8:55 p.m. Tuesday night: "We are Motörhead and we play rock & roll." The crowd of leather-clad bikers, teenage punks and silvery-haired metalheads -- Motörhead has always attracted a variety of underground denizens -- were shoulder-to-shoulder in the Pageant for the nearly 90-minute set. With word coming Monday that the Misfits were no longer on the tour, it became clear to anyone who was confused that Motörhead was the main [...]
Not ol' Lemmy! So the problem here is that the Germans are still a little sore about the whole Nazism/WWII thing, you know? But then, I mean, they were totally and utterly humiliated after being totally and utterly humiliated in the first World War. Really, Germany is a totally and utterly humiliated country in general. Seriously, the food? Not so hot. Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead comes in here: He decided to wear a Nazi hat ("Nazi hat" sounds so cutesy - something out of Katamari Damacy or Animal Crossing, [...]
