This is a considerably better burn than putting "FU" on your album cover.
Wasn't Rocklahoma a hair metal festival at one point? I guess the times change. Today, the promoters of the Memorial Day Oklahoma hoedown announced the lineup for the 2013 iteration of the festival and there are a lot of modern bands on there like The Sword, All That Remains, Alice In Chains, Asking Alexandria, Bullet ... The post GUNS N ROSES, ALICE IN CHAINS, KORN To Headline Rocklahoma 2013 appeared first on Metal Injection .
MS contributor Corey Mitchell previews all things metal (and music) at this coming week's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT.
And you don't even have to wait until Friday to take advantage.

It's been another one of those weeks, the kind where more things go wrong than right, the kind that brings extreme relief when it finally comes to an end. And like the conclusion of all weeks, good and bad, this one deserves a fitting soundtrack. Sad songs say so much, but despite the grey skies, rainy days, and lack of sunshine on my shoulders (the Bangkok forecast calls for steady downpours until October comes), I'm in no mood for more doom and gloom today. Instead of wallowing in misery and gin (or Johnnie Walker), I think I'll turn up the [...]
I tried to pretend to care about all the recent Queensrÿche drama, but then I found a booger in my nose and picked it instead; I found that a much more satisfying use of my time than wondering whether or not Geoff Tate has a screw loose. (He does.) That being said, I also kind of [...]
If ever America tasked me with assembling a Council Of Excellence to guide longview policy-making and societal enrichment, I'd waste no time appointing habitual winners like David Fincher, Russell Banks, Steve Martin, Magic Johnson, and Utada Hikaru. And to head the Department of Guitars, Testament shredder Alex Skolnick would be my first pick: A renaissance [...]
Under the Radar shines a light on lesser-known cover artists. If you’re not listening to these folks, you should. Catch up on past installments here. They've been called "the ABBA of bluegrass punk," and their label's beautifully written artist page says they're "doing their best to keep bluegrass from tottering meekly into a dust-covered coffin." They're the Meat Purveyors, and while their name may suggest a Victorian butcher shop, one listen to their musicianship and you'll know that butchering is the last thing on their mind. Currently on some kind of hiatus (nobody's saying they broke up, as they've called [...]
Original Ratt bassist Juan Croucier made his live re-debut with the band this past Ratturday, May 12th at the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, MD after Robbie Crane, Ratt's bassist since 1997, left last month to focus on Lynch Mob. For Ratt fans, this meant two things: 1) No songs written after 1991 were performed [...]
Ryan Adams played Belfast's Waterfront Hall on Friday night.

The beginning of a new season brings new hope, but what happens when the same problems that plagued your favorite baseball team last year are still lingering around like those stupid red light camera tickets that you haven't paid? Not much you can do, especially when the number two pitcher on the roster is as old as the average age on the team multiplied by two. Sigh. Jorge De La Rosa is scheduled to return to the organization as a full starting pitcher three months into the season, which means lefty might function as the team's life [...]
In quiet moments, I consider what songs to sing at karaoke with chicks (Journey, Aerosmith), with bros (David Lee Roth, Motley Crue), and with my fancy sister (Puffy, Garbage). It pays to think ahead cuz once you're there, mic in hand and half in-the-bag, it's easy to blank on ace jams; then you get stuck [...]

Sometimes it's sad to see guys who had a fleeting glimpse of glory milk it for all it's worth. Like, I'm sure there is an ex-member of The Bulletboys or Britny Fox - a member who never appeared on any recorded material, especially not when those bands were signed to major label deals - booking shows at this very moment either as a solo act or with a new band and using their resume to secure a small guarantee from a club owner. [...]
When word got out that Dave Grohl was working on some top-secret new project with a bunch of awesome metal d00ds, including Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini, we got all excited that he might be working on a new Probot album. Well, it turned out that Grohl is actually making a [...]
All signs pointed towards a new Probot record this year, whatwith recent news of Dave Grohl collaborating with such metal luminaries as Ratt's Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini and Slipknot's Corey Taylor, but now it appears that's not the case. Taylor recently gave an interview to Artisan News Service at Zakk Wylde's Celebrity Roast [above, [...]
First came the news blip earlier this month that Dave Grohl was working on a new "project" with Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy and guitarist Warren "Tasty McTasterson" DeMartini. And now Noisecreep is reporting that Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor tweeted his excitement about having recently wrapped up a recording with Grohl, too. Fool me once, shame [...]
It's almost as if Dave Grohl isn't confident in his perennial "Coolest Rockstar on Earth" status and needs to keep finding ways to prove his coolness over and over again. Fortunately, he never fails. Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy spilled the beans via his Twitter account yesterday that he and Ratt guitarist Warren DeMartini would be working [...]

Dave Grohl no para. El ex-batería de Nirvana y líder de una de las bandas del año, Foo Fighters, ha anunciado datos de lo que será su nuevo proyecto, y aunque del mismo aún no se sabe ni el nombre, si se sabe que incluirá al menos una canción en la que colabora con varios miembros de Ratt, una banda metal de los años 80. El tema incluirá la participación de Stephen Pearcy, vocalista de Ratt, y de Warren DeMartini, guitarrista. Los datos vienen de Noise Creep , donde además se ha publicado una [...]

the RYAN ADAMS loves '80s trashy bands. and loves turning em into folky acoustic beauties. double fact. lately the ADAMS has been ruling me ears with his covers, from the likes of the IRON MAIDEN and the GALAXIE 500, and now fnx his acoustic rendition of the SUGABABES the RATT's ROUND & ROUND mp3 which you can hear via a QUEER . wotyougot
