Fans of American Idol will abandon the hit show in droves if judge Simon Cowell does not come back for another season, a new poll reveals. The acid-tongued Brit has warned he could call it quits when his current contract runs out. And 49 per cent of the 230,000+ Idol fans who voted in an AOL Television poll say they will stop tuning in if he does quit. Cowell said in a recent TV interview that he is still agonising over whether to continue on the ratings-topping show. He told chat show [...]

So I have been working my ass for the last few weeks and I was planning on spending a chunk of change on something, should it be... A. Bills (including IRS) B. A new awesome suit I saw on Sunday C. A trip to anywhere that's not NYC or the US D. Save and hold on to it I want to hear rational and irrational answers please.

There's no denying it - 2009 looks like it's going to be a good year for the Big Four . If you're suffering from an epic brain-fail, and don't already know who they are, The Big Four are the quartet of bands who helped define Thrash Metal as we know it - Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. But who amongst them is tr00ly still shredding it like they were in 1985? Metallica are back at the top of the world, with Death Magnetic winning back [...]

Mastodon are without a doubt one of the most important metal bands to come out of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement, if not one of the most important metal bands of this decade. Last week's career-best debut of their new record Crack the Skye proves just that. While there will be always [...]

I think I have made my opinions on the lameness of Twitter very well known in the past, but lately I have gotten several emails from SubEx readers asking if I had a Twitter account, if they could be a follower, if I frequently tweeted, etc. My gut tells me to stay strong, that if US Senators have accounts then its time has passed and that it can no longer ever be considered cool again. Am I way out of line here? Chris Cornell lost so much of his dark rockstar mystique the day he opened his account, but then [...]

Today's the day the world gets here the first new  Marilyn Manson material since 2007's "lacklustre" (i.e. bleeding awful ) Eat Me, Drink Me . The God of Fuck has released 'We're From America' , the first public taste of his forthcoming seventh studio album, The High End Of Low , as a free download from MarilynManson.com . But is it any good? Some of us here at Thrash Hits are pretty excited about a new Manson album. It's probably not a co-incidence [...]

It's a simple, yet controversial question. Vote below, then tell us why in the comments. First person to say "Gary Cherone" gets banned. n Van Halen or Van Hagar? Van Halen; DLR 4evr!!! Van Hagar: Sammy had better pipes. [...]

Those of you bemoaning the lack of original ideas in culture today will probably need to go back to bed after hearing the news that MGM is planning to make a big-budget movie about the Three Stooges, the comedy trio whose antics supposedly embody the gender divide. (At least that's what my sociology professor in college thought, although he was also partially responsible for the whole "Don't Ask Don't Tell" thing so his views on the subject might be a little, um, quaint.) Sean Penn is reportedly set to play Larry (guess that whole "shaking the Spicoli character" thing didn't [...]

We'd be lying if we didn't acknowledge that metal loves to follow trends - and we're not just talking about the scene kids and their ridiculous hairstyles , this "nu-metal revival" that certain sectors of the metal media seem convinced is on the horizon, or the hipster pile-on that Mastodon unintentionally encourage. Even the tr00est of the tr00 catch a ride on a bandwagon from time to time. Right now it's Pagan Metal that seems to have got people's juices flowing. Just a quick look [...]

Music pundit Bob Lefsetz and Kiss' Gene Simmons have been going at each other lately online and in person ( full video ).  Personally I'm siding with Bob. Both are smart men who are certainly full of themselves. But Bob still knows where his heart his and the beneficiaries of his rants are the fans and the music. With Gene, its only about his crotch and his wallet. Who do you think is the winner of the Simmons Lefsetz smackdown? Online Surveys  &  [...]
