Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List Getty|Redferns|Getty The day after the 2012 Grammy nominees were announced, the New York Times released an excerpt from an interview with Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon conducted earlier in the year, before he was nominated for four Grammys, including best new artist, best song and record of the year. After claiming his self-titled album "isn't the kind of [...]

That excellent play on words aside, THIS IS ÖUTRAGEÖUS. Motörhead's quite delicious Australian Shiraz will not be sold in Iceland because the band is synonymous with being a bit naughty. The fear is that the sale of Lemmy & co's fruity number could result in leading our North Atlantic friends into a life of angry, speed-fuelled debauchery. Cripes. The State Alcohol and Tobacco Company of Iceland (ÁTVR), which is government-owned and is also the only shop you can buy alcohol from (not including pubs and bars), has decreed that it will not [...]

Easy Action Records in the UK have released some pretty incredible live recordings of The Stooges, Iggy Pop, MC5 and Sonic's Rendezvous Band the past few years and now they bring us this monumental live Hawkwind document. Leave No Star Unturned captures them in January 1972 headlining a show that also featured performances by the Pink Fairies and Syd Barrett at a venue called the Cambridge Corn Exchange. Pretty cool line up. I can only imagine how fried everyone was but their lids must have really flipped once Hawkwind blasted into their intro song "Technicians Of [...]

photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Megadeth 's Gigantour set played like most of their festival appearances of the past year- a greatest hits of their career with a few surprises peppered in. As longtime fans of Megadeth, their catalog of songs are all extremely solid live. But while the band never disappoints, we feel fortunate that Megadeth still exists at all considering all that Mustaine and the boys have been through physically and emotionally over the past decade. At around [...]

Motorhead's sixth live album is packed with great material, plus a DVD.

The rumor was that this year's edition of Mayhem Fest would feature Slipknot, Slayer, M otorhead, Anthrax, The Devil Wears Prada, As I Lay Dying and Whitechapel; yesterday, we got confirmation that Slipknot are indeed headlining the outing, and now all the other bands have been confirmed, too. In fact, the only band on the bill that WASN'T rumored to be in the line-up [...]

Well this looks promising! This year's Mayhem festival, the touring hard rock and metal celebration, has got itself quite a massive line up this year. Slipknot and Slayer will be headlining the festival while the side stages will boast bands including Anthrax, Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Whitechapel, High On Fire and As I Lay Dying. There's also a special artist that will be announced on April 6th and the big rumor is that Motörhead will be that band. The festival will kick off on June 30th in San Bernardino, CA. Tickets [...]

It's that time of year again! The time where we announce the lineup for the biggest festival of the summer, Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest. This year's lineup is ridiculous, so let's get to it. The main stage will feature Slipknot's return to the United States for their first tour since the passing off Paul Gray. ...

Self-titled albums are one thing. But when a band names one of its songs after itself - or, alternately, when a band names itself after one of its songs - it's a pretty big deal. The song itself comes off looking something like a mission statement, an encapsulation of everything that the band means. When Bad Company names a song "Bad Company," they want you to know that this song is what they're all about . Not too many bands have been brave enough to attempt this trick throughout history. For some reason, a lot of [...]

Earlier this week, rumors began to circulate about the line-up for the 2012 edition of Summer Slaughter, and if they're even kinda-sorta true, the package tour may have put together its best bill ever. Now, The PRP is reporting unconfirmed rumors about the line-up for the 2012 edition of Mayhem Fest, and it sounds like [...]

​The last time we heard from Lenny Kravitz, he was creating his own home video of an impromptu performance with a youth band from First Baptist Church of Lewisville on the streets of New Orleans...

The press release that came along with this album says, " Maax can only be described as pure, old school, alcoholic heavy metal hellfire scathing the night with buzzsaw riffage of fist-banging, slutfucking black thrash n' roll to haunting passages of Luciferian menace." So I guess if that's the only way it can be described, my work here is done. Adios! Just kidding. Although there is a lot of truth in that press release, I can elaborate a little. This is definitely an album with an old school feel. The production [...]

The Leveson Inquiry has thrown up a situation where a kiss and tell story about Motörhead singer Lemmy is an actual real life thing. Lemmy kissed a girl, his phone was hacked by some dickhead daily rag hack and said girl told. Brilliantly, Lemmy's lawyer said it was "perfectly fine" to run the story because Lemmy's reputation wouldn't be damaged. Well, durrr. It was a stripper, right? RIGHT?? Get in, Lem! This has all come about while News Of The World TV Editor, Sharon Marshall is being questioned about her semi-autobiographical [...]

Lemmy must really need some cash. First, Motorhead wine, now this? A Swedish distilling company announced the new brand of vodka, "made from 100% locally grown wheat that has been distilled and bottled in the small market town of Malmköping, Sweden." As for the the taste: " rich, full bodied and complex character, with a ...

There are a handful of music icons simply known by one name. Some of these mononymous people include renowned legends Bono, Elvis, Madonna, Prince, Flea, Slash, Ozzy and of course, Lemmy . Every time you utter Lemmy it's hard not to imagine the legendary badass lead singer and bassist of Motorhead rocking out on stage. His larger than life persona has only been catapulted by Pop Culture like in the movie Airheads with the now famous question "Who would win in a wrestling match: Lemmy or God?" [...]

When reviewing singles I always use the philosophy, if you end up having the track on constant repeat after the first listen then it's good. This was certainly the case for Brother & Bones' single Hold me like the Sun. The single cover describes them sounding a bit like Mumford and Sons (I ca... Read more..

They are Motorhead and they play rock and roll. After a slight health hiccup, we were worried they would have to cancel. They didn't, thank Jack.

Sarò stato a scapocciare sulla balconata, durante Ace of Spades , secondo pezzo dell'encore - il bis per gli italiani. Ovviamente era un pezzo che aspettavo da tutto il concerto, testate all'aria stando attento a non scaraventarmi giù dalla balaustra sopra altrettante teste in headbanging selvaggio, uomini e donne senza nessuna differenza. E in mezzo a corna issate al cielo, occhi arrossati dagli spot delle luci sparate in faccia, diversi brividi e tanti momenti di commozione ricordando il nano che ogni sabato mattina saltella dopo aver scelto il cd, con Ace of Spades in cima alla playlist.
