Sun, 19 May 2013 10:24:45
"Is everybody crowd surfing like it's ninety-four?" Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins asked the Rock on the Range masses. Well, with the legendary quartet on stage, they certainly had every reason to sail across the audience. The Pumpkins closed out the second night of Rock on the Range with a rapturous set plucking out the heaviest moments of ...more

Live Review: Korn — Rock on the Range, Columbus
Sat, 18 May 2013 08:37:53
Sometimes, a sound can move the earth. It can bring people to their feet. It can make them scream. It can cause cathartic euphoria of the highest degree. That's the only way to describe Korn's triumphant headline set at Rock on the Range in Columbus, Ohio last night (May 17). As soon as the capacity crowd heard the unmistakable opening of "Blind", ...more

Live Review: Limp Bizkit - Revolution Live, Fort Lauderdale
Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:01:13
Limp Bizkit consistently slay live. That's an indisputable fact. Since 1997, they've toured with everybody from Metallica and Korn to Tool and Eminem and held their own, igniting packed houses and making them bounce to every single beat and rhyme. However, last night at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville's finest hit the stage like ...more

Live Review: Ghost B.C. — The El Rey, Los Angeles
Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:12:51
"The devil's power is the greatest one," carefully crooned Ghost B.C.'s Papa Emeritus II during "Stand By Him" in front of a sold out Los Angeles crowd at the El Rey last night. Whether their potency comes from Satan himself or their own impressive songwriting skills, Papa Emeritus II and the Group of Nameless Ghouls possess ability to save rock ...more

Live Review: A$AP Rocky — STAPLES Center, Los Angeles
Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:50:59
The throne on stage at STAPLES Center last night was extremely appropriate for A$AP Rocky as he supported Rihanna. He's rightfully emerged as a 21st century hip-hop king in the past year with the release of LONG.LIVE.A$AP—a bona fide modern classic. However, he wields the same fire live that he does on record, and his set was a testament to that. ...more

Live Review: Rihanna — STAPLES Center, Los Angeles
Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:20:36
"Baby, I'm a rockstar," Rihanna declared from the stage at the sold out STAPLES Center last night. She's got that right. In fact, she's one of the last real rockstars left, and she's owning the title like a true champ. Every tour Rihanna launches, she still manages to step up her game and best the last one. Of course, that's tradition for any ...more

Live Review: Buckcherry — The Viper Room, West Hollywood
Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:22:53
"I was thinking about building a fucking empire," reminisced Buckcherry singer Josh Todd on stage in front of a sold out crowd at the Viper Room last night. That "empire" has reached another zenith with the band's latest offering Confessions. However, in addition to releasing a seminal studio work, the Los Angeles quintet is at the top of its live ...more

Mark Tremonti
Live Review: Mark Tremonti — The Roxy, West Hollywood
Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:32:42
As far as heavy metal goes, Mark Tremonti is a rarity. So many guitarists will go one direction. Either they'll get so technical and shred-happy that they'll lose sight of "the song", or they'll get so wrapped up in melody that they won't wield any of the instrumental firepower that they're packing. One of the reasons why the Alter Bridge and Creed ...more
