NAKED ROCK BAND FTW
I don’t know about you guys, but when I go visit my parents and my mom wants to have “family time” …..we drink Arnold Palmers and play Scrabble. Fully clothed, might I add.

RODDY BOTTUM DISHES ON COURTNEY LOVE'S FAITH NO...
Courtney Love used to sing for Faith No More. It was always this odd factoid that was thrown around every once in a while. But for whatever reason, it never seemed real to me. Well, I can’t really say that anymore. VH1 recently aired an episode of their ‘Behind the Music’ documentary series on the ‘Love’-ly lady herself and they even got a few words in from Roddy...

PENTAGRAM WIFEY CAN HAZ STYLE BLOG
Since the days of Lennon and Ono, it seems like rockers’ loved ones have a tendency to come off as a bit annoying. This is very much the case for Hallie Liebling, the very young wife of Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling. I recently discovered that the Mrs had a style blog called Halcoholic. She basically just dresses herself in funky outfits and takes pictures.
I’m not typically one...

WAIT, SO THIS ISN'T A JOKE?
Uh, so when Elise first posted about this band, I really thought they were just another new band to make fun of for a second and that was it. But as I was walking through the mall this weekend, I passed by Hot Topic and noticed that right next to their “Free Weezy” t-shirt was an ENTIRE DISPLAY of Black Veil Brides shit, and posters everywhere advertising their album. The fact...

WHAT MILEY CYRUS WEARS WHEN SHE 'RUNS TO THE...

So uhhh…. I’m only posting this because I know this is the sort of thing that makes people mad for no reason.
I don’t really understand why people get so bent out of shape when they see a celebrity wearing a band t-shirt. I mean, celebrities listen to music, too. And even though I doubt Miley’s heard their entire discography or anything…it’s...

GUITARS FOR THE VERTICALLY CHALLENGED
It seems like every time I turn around, someone is coming up with some way to create an instrument that only *resembles* playing the guitar. I don’t get it. Does no one want to learn an actual instrument anymore? Anyway, the latest example I’ve encountered are these high-heeled shoes by Chicks on Speed with functioning electric guitar strings built in. I mean, I guess it’s cool...

NON-METAL (BUT KINDA METAL) INFLUENCES
I’ve been pretty mellow and low-key lately and I’ve been matching my music choices to my mood. There’s not a whole lot of mellow metal out there, at least not a lot I like (ugh ISIS, FML), so I’ve been channeling those moods elsewhere. Enter stage left, Johnny Cash.
Anyone that’s heard his cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” knows what...

STRAIGHT OUTTA DETWAT: CASIO....FUELING CHICK...
Why do the assholes in the world seem to find the most perfect material to fuel their hatred? How many terrible chick bands will just fall into my lap, just BEGGING for me to taunt them? I almost feel bad for making fun of chicks as much as I do. Almost. Curious as to what I have stumbled upon? Well, here we go:
Indica; a self-proclaimed “all-girl” (not women, apparently) group from Finland....

THE WORD ON WARPED TOUR
So uhhh….I went to Warped Tour, you guys. I know, you’re all “WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?” Well, truth be told, I was totally down with going this year. There are quite a few bands I actually like on it. But when the ol’ ball and chain just so happens to work for Warped Tour, you *definitely* go…..you definitely go THREE TIMES. Yes, everyone, I sweated off...

BAD GROUPIE FASHION
I’m not a big fashionista or anything, but as I always like to say: “I don’t wear ugly crap.” BLOGUE seems to suit my limited interest in fashion since it’s never too snooty and they frequently post a lot of stuff that with a cool “rawk” aesthetic. But they boggled my mind recently when they posted these flared lace pants (by With Hearts in My Eyes)...

THE GREAT NACHTMYSTIUM DEBATE
Lately, it seems like the album that everyone has some sort of opinion on is Nachtmystium’s Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. 2. So I’m gonna go right on ahead and tell y’all what I think about it. WHADDAYASAAAAY??? ::crowd roars:: …..right, anyway…
Addicts is definitely receiving an outpouring of both love and hate. Moreso than any other album that’s come out...

GUITAR MEET FACE
When I first watched this I gasped really really loudly, and my face froze for a good 2 minutes…………..Then I laughed.
You’re welcome.

KIND WORDS ON BROKENCYDE, COURTESY OF FUCKED UP'S...
Many of you already know that I’m not into bashing bands that are already made fun of too much. I enjoy the Juggalo stuff because at least those kids are consistently bringing us new material to chuckle at. But bands like Nickelback, Limp Bizkit, Attack Attack! or Brokencyde (who are obviously not rock’s “finest”) are constantly ragged on. I mean, we get it…they...

I CARE A LOT: MY WEEKEND WITH FAITH NO MORE
It still feels weird to say it, but… I SAW FAITH NO MORE. Not even just that…I SAW FAITH NO MORE THREE TIMES.. A feat some might call crazy and obsessive, but the fact of the matter is that in terms of Faith No More fans, I am amongst the younger of the bunch. Angel Dust came out when I was seven, if that gives you any idea. So, I never even heard of them until towards the very end of their first...

EMPYREON'S BETTER THAN YOU
Sure, I might be a little biased, but I’m not the kinda girl to bullshit. You may not have heard of Empyreon, but I suggest jumping on board with them now so you can say you were one of the cool ones that listened to them way back then. Straight out of Brooklyn, they’re not only some of the coolest, nicest guys ever (especially that kickass drummer *big doofy smile and a wink*)...

"IT'S TRIPPY, MAN!!!"
Ever find yourself on the internet? In a place you didn’t expect to be? (If not, try googling your name and see if what comes up is actually you. If nothing, get out more) I was originally scheduled to see 6 or 7 Phish shows this summer, but thanks to my new job and hence, new work schedule, I had to bail on all but one. That one was Canandaigua, NY just last week.
We know it’s not...

A GIANT FAIL FOR THE FAIRER SEX
Thanks to our buds over at The Number of the Blog, today I stumbled across A Lovely Day for Bloodshed. GroverXIII pretty much summed it all up, but being the “women in metal” fan that I am I needed to add my own commentary.
Unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot to write about. I like the idea, but frankly they just kinda suck. They have potential (I guess) but some serious...

FAITH NO MORE! FAITH NO MORE! FAITH NO MORE!
The time has finally come. I will be seeing Faith No More not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES this weekend. The adventure starts tonight at the Williamsburg Waterfront. Tomorrow, I’ll be making my way down to the city of brotherly love for round 2 at The Mann Center in Philadelphia. (It looks very large and majestic from the pictures. I’m especially excited for this one!) I have...

PANTY RAID! MR. JULY IS...SNAGON OF...
When I saw my The Number Of The Blog brother groverXIII doing this piece for the month of May I figured I could do my very best to bring to light and issue that is a very large problem with today’s heavy metal scene, lack of knowledge of the past. When trying to enlighten some fellow metal heads whether it be on a Metalsucks post, The Number Of The Blog, or a concert venue, the newer age of fans...
