For the first time in it's 30 year history, MTV has decided to freshen up their iconic logo-ed imagery to reflect their conversion from scheduled music material to a pool of programmed reality productions. If you were unaware how seismic of a shift this adjustment bears and what it means for the posterity of the once-heralded network, the future's in the font. Above, you'll find the well-known MTV imagery, [...]
You can tell the crowd is anxious during set-up; they tire of waiting and start chanting " STRYPER! STRYPER! STRYPER! " The set lights up in a yellowish-orange glow, and Stryper finally gets on stage. Someone screams "I love you!" and Stryper lays into "Soldiers Under Command"; immediately fists are in air and you know it's going to be a good show. It's legendary Stryper's 25th Anniversary Tour, and it's the last show of the US leg, which is here in Portland at the Aladdin Theater . There's no spandex and not [...]

Our friend Allyson at Bring Back Glam has been reporting from Rocklahoma all week. She's obviously a big fan of the event, given that a) she runs a site all about glam and b) she wrote the text for the Rocklahoma coffee table book that came out last year. But she's been making (perfectly valid) complaints [...]
Filed under: News , Holy Hell Plenty of heavy metal musicians have dated porn, um, actresses, but Stryper guitarist Oz Fox is gonna one up 'em --the axman will marry Annie Lobért, a 41-year-old who used to be a high-class hooker. The couple met in February 2008, and will be married this Friday in Las Vegas. But here's the kicker: Stryper has always been a Christian metal band and Lobért is the founder of Hookers for Jesus, a Vegas ministry that aims to help victims of sex trafficking.

Imagine it's sometime around 1989. You've just spiked your hair and combed your sweet mullet, or used a half-can of Aqua Net on your four-inch-high bangs. It's Friday night, and your jeans are tight. It's time to go see Great White. You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group Halfway home in the parking lot By the look in her eye she was giving what she got Seems like their set is a bit short... Your voice [...]
:: Everyone was accusing Bruce Springsteen of selling out - including me - because he played the Super Bowl and, logic would dictate, got massive amounts of dollar bills (or maybe rolls of dimes and nickels). Turns out, he got way less than anyone would have guessed . Like zero dollar bills (or zero rolls of dimes and nickels). :: Lux Interior, frontman of the Cramps , has passed away . His age has been reported as both 60 and 62, as well as 52 by someone way uninformed. Wikipedia says 60, but [...]
Resulta curioso que una de mis bandas preferidas del fabuloso período hard rock de los 80 sea la de unos tipos a los que alguien idiotizó en su momento y se convirtieron a la mayor de las sectas, el cristianismo. En aquella época mi dominio del inglés no pasaba de los insultos que Axl nos había enseñado, así que lo que estos tíos comentaban en sus temas, pues me sonaba a chino. Hoy en día, con un british muy pulido, básicamente porque la que es mi mujer es bilingüe, y [...]

Another day, another startup company trying to find a revenue source in the current music economy. However, all you really need to know about SongVest and what the company offers can be summed up by songwriter Mark Hudson: "No one is buying records. This to me is just another angle." Tired of representing your affection for a musical act with T-shirts, wall calendars, and cruises? Want to get back to what it was all about in the first place—the music (and the accompanying profits)? SongVest has a [...]
