March 12, 2013 Rex Brown has a story to tell, and it ain't pretty. The former Pantera bassist's tell-all book, "101 Proof Official Truth: The Inside Story of Pantera," hit shelves (and Amazon) today.

All signs point not just to a full recovery and return to the road for Eddie Van Halen, but some forthcoming new music, as well. The guitarist, who was sidelined by a nasty case of diverticulitis last year, has posted a photo to Facebook of himself in the studio.
Intergalactic metal mongers GWAR are holding a mouthwatering event to kick off the latest leg of their 'Fate or Chaos' tour.

Motley Crue may be enjoying the Australian summer down under at the moment, but the band will return to North America later this spring for more shows. The group recently announced an April-May trek that would take them through Canada, and now they've tacked on a number of U.S. stops to fill out their May itinerary.
Given that Geoff Tate responded to being fired from Queensryche by simply going off and starting his own Queensryche, most of us expected the two camps to spend the next several years sniping at each other in the press -- and that's pretty much the way it's still going down.
March 4, 2013 90's grunge supergroup Mad Season only recorded one album, 'Above', but what an album it was! Featuring Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, Barrett Martin of the Screaming Trees, and blues bassist John Baker Saunders -
