MOVIE TRAILER: Rock Of Ages

April 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell

Another trailer for the upcoming film Rock Of Ages has arrived online.

If you loe the 80s, Tom Cruise, and/or pleather, chances are you are already well aware of Rock Of Ages. If not, here’s a rundown of the plot:

Set in 1987 Los Angeles, Drew and Sherrie are two young people chasing their dreams in the big city. When they meet, it’s love at first sight, though their romance will face a series of challenges.

Those challenges, or at least some of them, appear to be the wild nightlife of the 80s glam rock scene. Click past the …

Kiss Planning Custom “Angry Birds” Game

February 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell

This should not have come as a surprise, but it did. Kiss, the band whose logo and iconic faces have graced everything from pinball machines to condoms, are currently in talks to develop their own version of the hit mobile application Angry Birds.

Yes, you read that right. Kiss want to become Angry Birds.

NME brings us the story, which once again should not be a surprise given the amount of shameless branding the legendary band is known for, revealing frontman Gene Simmons spilled the beans in a recent interview with Industry Gamers. When discussing the …

REVIEW: Nickelback – Here And Now

November 22nd, 2011 Jordan Munson

Album: Here And Now
Band: Nickelback
Genre: Rock and Roll
Label: Roadrunner

Somewhat bewilderingly, over the last handful of years Nickelback has become the most hated band in existence. How exactly this came to be, no one really knows (but if you ask most people, you’d likely hear the answer “because they suck!”). How so many people vehemently despise such a band and yet the band continues to sell an astronomically high number of records. Perhaps we’ll just chalk this one up to “most polarizing band to ever exist” or something. At any rate, the band just released their seventh …

Don’t Worry Kids, Lil Wayne Is Working On “Rebirth 2″

October 17th, 2011 James Shotwell

Everyone remembers when Lil Wayne decided to release a rock and roll album, right? It was February of 2010 and we all laughed as tweets came in from unsuspecting Weezy fans who were confused why anyone would release such a piece of crap, remember?

Well, even if you don’t, just know that another round of “rock” is coming your way sooner than later. According to YMCMB member Mack Maine, Weezy is currently working on Rebirth 2, as well as a sequel to his highly regarded I Am Not A Human Being EP.

So, the question remains: Will …
