There are some weird products out there in the world. You can buy penis-print pants, bright pink dye for your pubic hair, and now I've learned that you can buy an "Infant Circumcision Trainer"... Just what I've always wanted?
Got to sit down with members of Dead Sara after their astonishing performance at Orion Fest. I talk with them about sharing a stage with Metallica, their now famous WGRD "Halloween Hellraiser" performance back in October and more!
May 15, 2013 Video games and violence seem to be a match made in heaven (or hell...whatever works best.) Violent video games have been around since video games were even created. When most think of a violent video game today, they think headshots, guns, grenades, and maybe a chainsaw. We forget though, before we grabbed a gun in a video game, we grabbed 2x4's with rusty nails, lead pipes, and the good ol' fist! SPLATTERHOUSE!
People who know me are well aware of my contempt for Psy. I should be the one enjoying Internet fame. It seems I'm not the only one who has a negative opinion about the South Korean viral star. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has called the "Gangnam Style" leader an STD of the music industry.
Guns N' Roses are about to bring one of their best live experiences to the big screen, with some pretty awesome 3D effects thrown in for good measure. The band's 2012 residency at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was filmed and has now been turned into a movie that will get theatrical screenings this summer. With the project nearing, the group has now offered the first extended trailer for the movie.
Speculation has been running rampant about the lineup for this year's Lollapalooza festival at Grant Park in Chicago. The "leaked" event poster turned out to be pretty accurate as organizers have announced the official roster today. Goth rock pioneers The Cure, Trent Reznor's resurrected Nine Inch Nails, The Killers and more will headline the 3-day weekend this summer.
The virtual Wild West known as the World Wide Web has been somewhat of an enigma for companies to capitalize on. While almost 80 percent of the population in North America use the internet, it's been a challenge for most brands that don't have Google in their name to actually make a substantial profit and grow their presence. One individual who is breaking that trend and becoming a Renaissance Man in today's digital age is Chris Hardwick, founder of the Nerdist Podcast.
New York's annual Governors Ball festival recently revealed its lineup for the 2013 event, and it's an eclectic mix of primarily indie rock bands and hip-hop acts. But there was one headliner not announced that remained a mystery. Organizers have now filled in that rather conspicuous blank with legendary rockers Guns N' Roses.
A second trailer for Rob Zombie's next feature film, 'The Lords of Salem,' has been unleashed by the rocker-director and it looks pretty effing cool. Starring Rob Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, the film draws a very thin line between hallucinogenic madness and reality, with a stylistic method that feels familiar to Rob Zombie's past film work.

Vampire Weekend have emerged from their cave and announced plans to release a follow-up to their 2010 album 'Contra' sometime soon -- possibly as early as this spring, Consequence of Sound reports. The band recorded the as-yet-untitled disc in New York City and Los Angeles with producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Murs, We Are Scientists, Usher) and assistance from the group's own Rostam Batmanglij.
The cameras will be rolling when the members of Suicide Silence and their all-star lineup of guest vocalists team up for a memorial concert to salute the band's late singer, Mitch Lucker. The vocalist died in a motorcycle crash Halloween night and the idea of the show is to not only pay tribute to the singer, but to also raise money for the future education of Lucker's daughter, Kenadee.
