Stone Temple Pilots
Live Review: Stone Temple Pilots — San Manuel Casino, Highland, Ca
Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:42:26
Sometimes, nothing needs to be said. That was the case last night when Stone Temple Pilots played the San Manuel Casino in Highland, CA. The typically talkative Scott Weiland didn't speak much between songs. In fact, the enigmatic frontman took on a Clint Eastwood posture, with his scruffy visage, wild hair and undeniably cool jean and blazer ...more

Live Review: Prohibition Rose — The Key Club, Los Angeles
Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:47:02
Rock n' roll hasn't been sexy for awhile. Let's face it, the sex appeal that the genre once so proudly emanated has all but dissipated in a wake of bad haircuts and guys wearing jeans that have no right to wear in this universe or any other. Thankfully, there's Prohibition Rose. Last night at the Key Club, they truly brought sexy back to ...more

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:13:35
There are rock stars, and then there's Chester Bennington. He's not so much a rock star, as he is an artist born to bleed on stage. Bennington has captivated millions as the voice for Linkin Park, but those numbers will only grow with his new project, Dead By Sunrise. At the band's first official Los Angeles show at The Roxy last night, ...more

Live Review: Alice In Chains — Avalon, Hollywood
Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:56:44
Is it 1993 or is it just me? Two of the year's best records have come from early '90s legends—Alice In Chains' Black Gives Way to Blue and Pearl Jam's Backspacer. It's quite the time grow your hair out again and bust out the flannel…Perhaps more importantly, both bands manage to remain inimitable and immortal live presences too. On last ...more

Live Review: Corey Taylor & The Junk Beer Kidnap Band — The Key Club, Los Angeles
Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:51:25
Corey Taylor is rock n' roll's last true outlaw. During his set with The Junk Beer Kidnap Band tonight at the Key Club, the Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman came out with all guns blazing. In fact, Taylor is a "badass motherfucker"—in the Quentin Tarantino sense of the term. Like a character right out of Pulp Fiction, this real life ...more

Live Review: Blink-182 - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, Irvine
Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:37:59
It's good to see that kids still listen to music. Given the youth of America's unwavering fixation on Facebook, video games and their iPhones, it's easy to forget that young music fans still exist. Blink-182's second sold-out show in Irvine was quite the reminder though. The majority of the crowd could barely drive, but they managed to belt ...more

Korn
Live Review: Sunset Strip Music Festival (Korn)
Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:26:42
At the Sunset Strip Music Festival, the bloodletting began with the first riff of Korn's opening salvo "Right Now." Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer's hand slid across the strings of his seven-string weapon like he was slashing a throat. And oh, there was blood. It was the blood of a legendary 16-year career. It was the blood of men who ...more
