Now in their 402s and boasting more than just a few grey hairs the [...]

Hyro Da Hero is heavy enough for us to feature him on Thrash Hits, right? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. It wasn't a request for people to go debate it in the comments or anything. Anyway, he's got the more-than-excellent Marmozets playing in support of him on his UK tour, and given that we've expressed our love of that band on more than one occasion , we figured this was more than enough reason to make sure Gary Wolstenholme was on hand to photograph the whole shebang [...]

There are cartoonishly oversized wall graphics, including one of the Lego man, and lush bonsai gardens built into the tables. There's even [...]

Lana Del Rey ha annullato un tour? Questa è l'indiscrezione che ha riportato il New York Post, parlando della decisione di rimandare le esibizioni live e i concerti della cantante. E il motivo sarebbe da attribuire alla pioggia di critiche dopo una sua esibizione al Saturday Night Live . Ecco la solita fonte anonima cosa avrebbe dichiarato al quotidiano: "Lana e il suo manager hanno deciso di cancellare il tour dopo il SNL. Lei era davvero molto turbata e preoccupata...
