Frontman

During yesterday's (Friday, June 6) press conference at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden, DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott was asked how his band managed to avoid getting caught up in the whole "glam-rock" scene of the '80s even after citing such image-oriented artists as MICK RONSON, DAVID BOWIE and T.REX as major influences."If you actually look at the way that the 'glam' bands, if

"AIIIITICCHOOOOOW!” The sneeze ricochets off the mike stand before disappearing, damply, behind the drum riser. Roadies wince. Guitar techs flinch. The culprit - a middle-aged man with a pyramid of flammable blond hair - sniffs sheepishly. Fumbling in the pockets of his distressed denim jeans, he extracts a wad of tissues and proceeds to dab his streaming nose. “Bloody hell,” snuffles Joe El

According to NJ.com, AEROSMITH reps aren't talking about frontman Steven Tyler's reported relapse and current rehab attempt, but his hometown paper says some are pointing fingers at the rocker's hard-partying, much-younger girlfriend, Erin Brady. Tyler, who has been frank about his early rock'n'roll excesses, checked into La Encinas Hospital in Pasadena Wednesday, the hospital where celebrity addi

I am an early 40's male vocalist currently fronting a [location_removed] band. Although I like the guys I currently work with, I would like to move onto something a little more on the dance rock type theme, ie. modern rock tunes like Puddle of Mudd, My Chemical Romance, older 80's hair rock like Poison and so on, gotta keep the women on the dance floor type music, but still rock, no sausage fest Pantera stuff (sorry Pantera type fans, but chicks don't stand around and bang their heads). I am leaving the band I am in because of band member wife ruling problems, been there too many times and don't need it anymore, I just want to play and sing, I have enough drama issues at work, rock & roll is supposed to be a release, anyway, I use a wireless mic system and I am a serious crowd worker, Girls have to be on the dance floor or I go get them and dance with them while I do the song, also I am a stickler for perfection so professionalism is #1 on stage, my vocal range is pretty versital,

Dave Grohl says he’ll make good on his promise to go for beer with two Australian miners who listened to the Foo Fighters while trapped underground. They had to wait 15 days until they were rescued and to pass the time, they requested an iPod with Foo Fighters songs on it to help drown out the sound of drilling as rescuers attempted a slow rescue. > they requested an iPod with Foo Fighters songs on it to help drown out > the sound of drilling as rescuers attempted a slow rescue. Yeah, right, drown out the noise with even more sound (this is not about the music, mind you, never heard Foo Fighters stuff, I only know about the collaboration with Norah Jones). I hope they at least got some sound-insulating earplugs, as the Sony Nude EX, or the Shure ones. Surely they didn’t get some fancy Etymotics.

The Cure frontman Robert Smith has refused to deny reports he plans to work with pop star Ashlee Simpson, but admits a collaboration is unlikely to take place this year. In April, the pair was reported to be working together to create a new sound for the follow-up to Simpson's debut album I Am Me, after meeting in London in 2006 when the 22-year-old was performing in West End musical Chicago

Everyone wants a piece of the web video action right now, thanks to the growth of YouTube, and the emergence of innovative online TV startups like Joost and Babelgum. Kiss’ Gene Simmons has seen the dollars, so he’s invested in a startup called No Good TV (NGTV for short), as well as joining as chairman of the board. It’s more of a Joost than a YouTube – the idea is to attract users with professionally-produced video content. Jackass fans will love it. There’s copious amounts of swearing, and the service has two animated hosts: a Cock and a Beaver. Yes, that’s a rooster and a furry tree-gnawing animal, but you see what they did there.

Reporters are quite adept at getting facts wrong, but this one is a blinder. IN ANOTHER life, Glenn Hughes was a drug-taking machine who fronted one of the wildest bands of the 1970s, Deep Purple. Let me state categorically, clearly, for the record and with 100% certainty that Glenn Hughes never fronted Deep Purple. He [...]
