Steve King — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 17:25:17 +0000

Kid Rock, Buckcherry and Hellbound Glory rolled into Bossier City's CenturyLink Center on Wednesday (Feb. 13) for a little pre-Valentine's Day rock n' roll.

Was the show worth the wait? If you paid for a ticket, Kid Rock made it worth the money. Here's what I thought of each band's performance.

Puff — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:14:44 +0000

I’m going to be honest with you right off the bat: Aliens: Colonial Marines is hard to like. And it’s not because it’s a bad game or sucks the big one. But if you’re a fan of the movies, you will hate this game. It’s impossible not to. Aliens: Colonial Marines tries to take the [...]

'Lincoln' Movie Not Too Shabby But No Vampires This Time

Troy Jones — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:02:04 +0000

Lincoln hit theaters and I have to give it props. Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day-Lewis in a revealing drama about the 16th President, slavery and war. And they didn’t have to use axe-wielding or vampires to make it good either! I’m glad Disney brought Lincoln back, but if I had my choice of Presidents to [...]

Band to Watch For – Beware of Darkness [VIDEO]

gonzo — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:14:40 +0000

Beware of Darkness. Are they named after the Spock's Beard album or the George Harrison song? Or none of the above? I have no idea, as information on the band seems to be as rare as Lindsay Lohan sobriety chips. What I can tell you is that the band was formed in L.A. by singer/guitarist Kyle Nicolaides and drummer Tony Cupito in 2010.

Playing his first New York City solo show, Mark Tremonti came across as a seasoned frontman. Leading his latest outfit, Tremonti, the guitarist for Creed and Alter Bridge was in the spotlight last night (Sept. 12) at NYC's Highline Ballroom, and his fans couldn't have been happier.

Flea, 'Helen Burns' – Album Review

Drake Baer — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 18:00:32 +0000

Is Flea the most excellent dude is rock? Probably. Is the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist’s debut EP ‘Helen Burns’ the most delightful surprise of the year? Certainly. The album is named after, and dedicated to, a character in Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre.’ Helen is Jane’s faithful, compassionate best friend, one that left a mark [...]

The Walking Dead Game Kills (No Pun Intended)

Puff — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 14:44:15 +0000

With Zombie mania in full force (and "zombie attacks" running rampant) what could be a better way to spend an evening than bashing in the brains of the living dead?!? But when it comes to killing walkers, you have a lot of choices.

Avenged Sevenfold + Halestorm Unleash Rock 'N' Roll 'Nightmare' – Review and Photos

Mary Ouellette — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:57:38 +0000

Avenged Sevenfold fans in North America were bracing for a summer without any live shows from their favorite band until Metallica came and saved the day. Invited to participate in the Orion Music and More Festival in Atlantic City on June 24, Avenged Sevenfold decided to make the most of it, adding a few one off shows prior to their festival appearance. The first of the three shows was in Quebec City, Canada on June 21 followed by a second show on June 22 in Uncasville, Conn. The two shows would serve as a warm-up for their highly anticipated Orion performance.

'Rock of Ages' – Movie Review

Matthew Wilkening — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:00:22 +0000

The film version of ‘Rock of Ages‘ merits a lengthy and highly qualified recommendation: Can you stand the Broadway musical format at all? Can you stay extremely open-minded as some of your favorite ’80s rock songs are re-recorded by actors, then endure a couple of questionable lead role casting choices and an openly cheesy atmosphere?

Marilyn Manson Rocks New Hampshire – Review + Exclusive Photo Gallery

Mary Ouellette — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:35:50 +0000

Marilyn Manson has gone on record saying that he’s treating his new disc ‘Born Villain’ as a comeback album, and he’s definitely not taking any shortcuts. As with any true comeback, he’s gone back to his roots, trading in arenas for more intimate clubs, getting up close and personal with his fans – who by the way have never waned – on his current North American tour run.

Eve to Adam Deliver Rock 'n' Roll Feast to Connecticut Crowd

Mary Ouellette — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:43:28 +0000

It seemed almost a perfect twist of fate that New York rockers Eve to Adam got tapped to support Creed, a band whose arena-ready songs propelled them to superstardom. With their guitar-driven, fist-pumping anthems, Eve to Adam craft thick and gritty rock tunes that that just beg to be delivered on the big stage. On [...]

Jack White, 'Blunderbuss' – Album Review

Drake Baer — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:47:00 +0000

The album title could not be more apt: a blunderbuss is a 17th century firearm, an early antecedent of the shotgun, known to be loaded with just about any matter of ammunition — bullets, kitchen utensils — and shot broad and short against the enemy. The eponymous thunder-gun is a perfect fit to Jack White‘s [...]

Pantera, 'Piss' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:38:40 +0000

Since lost tracks always seem to surface just before a band is ready for a reissue or a “special edition remaster,” they’re often rightly looked upon with suspicion. But Pantera proves sometimes the reason a song doesn’t make an album is that it simply didn’t play nicely with the other tracks.

What Happened to the 'Service' in Service Industry?

gonzo — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 03:04:20 +0000

I may be hallucinating, but I could have sworn I was living in Louisiana, a state whose economy is driven in large part by the tourism and service industry. If that's the case, you'd think that we here in LA would have this 'service' thing down pat, huh? Not so much. Being perfectly honest, if my service is even semi-decent, I will tip you better than most. But, several times in the past few weeks, I've ran into 'service' that would get you caned in some third-world countries...

gonzo — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:02:18 +0000

George H.W. Bush buys a Chevy Volt for his son Neil. You may recall Neil as the guy that felt there was nothing wrong with accepting sexual favors from prostitutes who showed up at your door unannounc
