The 2012 Gigantour is well under way with a lineup of Megadeth, Motorhead, Lacuna Coil and Volbeat. Motorhead, out in support of their latest studio album ‘The World Is Yours,’ released in late 2010 still put on one of the loudest shows in the world and in a recent interview with SFWeekly, frontman Lemmy Kilmister checked in to talk about the tour and his thoughts on the Black Sabbath reunion.

When asked about touring with Megadeth, whose Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson are not shy about talking about their Christian beliefs, Kilmister offered up a few gems, saying, “Well, the great thing about my philosophy is live and let live, you know?” He continued to explain the details of his personal philosophy, stating, “I don’t mind if you want to worship the Great Poobah in the sky, as long as you don’t expect me to do it, too. And nobody has so far preached to me on this tour, so it’s alright.”

When asked if he tried to stay clear of certain subjects with Megadeth (including religion), Kilmister admitted that he doesn’t really see Megadeth too often on the tour, “We hardly ever see Megadeth anyway. They come late and we leave early after we finish to beat the traffic out of there. So we don’t see much of them. I’ve stayed a couple of times to watch their show, but that’s about all.”

It seems that everyone in the rock world has an opinion about the much troubled Black Sabbath reunion (drummer Bill Ward is currently out of the fold) and Kilmister kept his opinion short and sweet, saying only, “Well you can’t do a reunion without the originals, can you?”  Good question Lemmy, good question!

Gigantour continues through February before Lemmy and Motorhead head off to Europe for some festival dates.

It would appear that Green Day are going to keep fans up to speed on the progress of their new album via YouTube, as they have posted two more brief videos of their in-studio activities.

Green Day are all-in on the follow-up to their 2009 album ’21st Century Breakdown.’ The band engaged in months of writing new material for the release despite reportedly having upwards of 40 previously written ready for their next outing. Billie Joe Armstrong recently exclaimed at the end of the writing phase via Twitter, “Happy Valentine’s day! Officially started recording the new record today. It’s F— TIME!!!!”

Green Day have since posted three videos on their official YouTube channel, showing the band in and out of the studio. While the audio from the first video featured little more than an unaccompanied drum track, the second — mysteriously titled 6-13 — mixes in a of couple guitar strums as well.

The most intriguing moment comes in the third clip when Armstrong introduces the track ‘Amanda’ at a live show before breaking into it’s deep, bass-driven old school groove. Does this mean the fan fav will make it on to the new album? Check out the second and third clips below:

Coming into the public eye on the drama-filled VH1 reality series, ‘Basketball Wives,’ is Evelyn Lozada, former fiance of NBA player, Antoine Walker. With the fourth season premiering last night, Lozada is known for providing entertaining sound bytes with catchphrases such as “You are a non-mutha-f—in’ factor, bitch!” and “Stay in your lane, boo boo!”

Though the Bronx native dated Walker for 10 years,  more recently, Lozada has moved onto the New England Patriots non-factor, Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco Johnson.

Setting her sights beyond the realm of  reality TV, this working mother of one now co-owns an upscale shoe boutique named Dulce in Coral Gables, Fla.

Sometimes crazy is sexy and that’s why we dig Evelyn Lozada.

A few weeks ago, Stone Temple Pilots‘ unreleased attempt at a music video for their 2010 single ‘Cinnamon‘ made its way to the Internet. Now, an alternate clip featuring trippy animation, a desert and a lonely Scott Weiland has surfaced — see it below.

Stone Temple Pilots released the third single from their self-titled comeback album in September 2010. ‘Cinnamon’ featured Weiland, in full-on David Bowie mode, over a bubbly Beatles-esque groove with touches of STP’s signature alt-rock magic. The band attempted to produce a music video for the single on two separate occasions, both of which garnered results the band was ultimately unhappy with and an official video for ‘Cinnamon’ was never released.

A few weeks back, one version of the video surfaced on YouTube and while the clip was not without its high points, it also had its fair share of awkwardness. Images of a sleep-singing Scott Weiland on a pile of passed out ladies is not exactly a great PR move given his history of substance abuse. The clip was eventually pulled from YouTube due to copyright issues.

Now we open a new chapter in ‘The Book of Things Never Meant to Be’ with another video for ‘Cinnamon.’ The clip features Scott Weiland wandering the desert aimlessly in black & white before psychedelic colors pour in to illuminate the bleak surroundings. The video, directed by Dennis Roberts, ends up playing more like a long-form gum commercial than a true music video.

Let’s hope Stone Temple Pilots have better creative luck with their next album, which is currently in the works, as is a tour commemorating the 20th birthday of their breakthrough debut album ‘Core.’

It’s not an intestinal worm, it’s a wave form showing amplitude modulation and frequency modulation…duh!  Today is Heinrich Rudolf Hertz’s birthday…

No, not the rent a car guy…the German dude that clarified and expanded the way to prove the existence of electromagnetic waves using engineering instruments to transmit and receive radio!  Now, I know what you’re thinking…why in the HELL do I care.  The answer?  It allows us to bring you radio, wi-fi, and X-rays.

Let me put it to you this way, without Hertz’s work, we wouldn’t have the internet on wifi -OR- radio as you know it, which would mean all those musicians wouldn’t be famous, which would mean no groupies, which would mean no radio rock stars, which would mean no way for Puff to get laid at all.

Although it’s not the first time a corpse assisted in our shinanigans, from all of us (especially Puff) here at 99X, thank you dead German guy for helping Puff get laid.

We racked our brains with words to describe Stephanie Mahoe‘s butt and after much deliberation, we believe Soulja Boy said it best, “She got a donk.”

Mahoe, of Chicago, Ill., is a fitness, bikini and glamour model and was also honored with the prestigious title of 2011 Maxim Hometown Hottie.

While you take a gander at Mahoe, we will think up all the ways we could bounce a quarter off that booty.

Thousand Foot Krutch

Canadian Christian rockers Thousand Foot Krutch are getting ready to release their new album ‘The End Is Where We Begin’ in April, their first release since their departure from Tooth and Nail Records.

The band went back to DIY mode for this disc, planning to release it independently. In order to accomplish that, they got creative and offered up several pre-release packages and first listens to fans who donated to the cause. The first new song available was ‘War of Change’ in December followed by the title track and ‘Courtesy Call’ released in early January.

Frontman Travis McNevan talked about the new album coming together, explaining, “Without trying, this record has a very militant theme to it, with songs like ‘War Of Change’ and ‘Courtesy Call’ painting more of a visual for that.” He expanded on that even more, saying, “There’s an urgency to it and I think the timing feels right. This record’s heart can be summed up by ‘Be The Change,’ the album’s lyric and phrase seen throughout the album artwork.”

Fans will have to wait a little longer to hear ‘Be The Change’ but you can check out the artwork for the new album above.

Apparently Thousand Foot Krutch is the perfect soundtrack for sports junkies too. ESPN has taken a liking to the band, picking up ‘Let the Sparks Fly’ and ‘Light Up the Sky’ for use on their network.

Thousand Foot Crush are on tour with RED, check out all their upcoming dates here and head over to their official website for your chance to download and listen to some of the new tracks before everyone else.
