Iron Maiden has been going for quite a while, over thirty years in fact. The band have seen a resurgence recently, putting out some great albums and getting rave reviews for their recent live shows on their Maiden England tour. But the band is getting up there in years, and you have to wonder how [...]

The news that Slipknot was announced as the final headliner for Download Festival 2013 should have maggots everywhere excited, even if they're not planning to attend.

Kids these days have it easy. They have access to things we only dreamed of as a child. Seeing as though metal itself is 40 years old, we now have second generation metalheads. I can't imagine sharing metal with my parents, but I wish I did. Thankfully, we've amassed 10 videos of kids who's parents [...]

Why is a "reputable" New York newspaper printing a headline that says Teenager who allegedly opened fire in Baltimore area high school was heavy metal misfit obsessed with Rammstein and Manson Family. So what, NY Daily News? A Baltimore teenager, Bobby Gladden, opened fire in his high school cafeteria shooting at will, and got two shots [...]

Mayhem Fest wrapped this past weekend and already festival organizers are looking ahead to next year. Every year, the fest is anchored by one or two huge headlining acts, as it was this year with Slipknot and Slayer. Who can top that combo?

We're about to start a three day weekend… which means we're taking Monday off. But that DOESN'T mean that we're taking Sunday off. There will be a very special Livecast this Sunday. I'm pretty pumped to get some backyard grillin' going with my Blue Moons and my blunts. Who's partyin' with me? Here are the [...]

This will put a smile on your face. Remember that viral sensation a few weeks ago where those little kids covered Rammstein? It was such a hit that I guess the video got back to Rammstein themselves, and being the kind-hearted Germans that they are, they decided to invite the kids to open for the [...]

Every year, the Revolver Golden Gods Awards ends up being the biggest party of the year when it comes to metal. We always run into a lot of big names on the red black carpet. The last few years a truncated version of the show has aired on either VH1 Classic or MTV2. They would [...]

Rammstein just know how to think big. I'm assuming their label came to them and said, "hey, we have this greatest hits package we want to put out, and we have this much money to market it, what do we do?" Those whacky Germans came back with "build us a mausoleum damn it." They went [...]
