"Horror movies and heavy metal go hand-in-hand. They always have," exclaimed Devildriver guitarist Jeff Kendrick as he strolled down the corridor of 2009's Fangoria Weekend of Horrors at the Los Angeles Convention center. Surveying the crowd—which included everyone from Tool's Adam Jones and Ozzy Osbourne's Blasko to cult icons Bill Moseley and ...more

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:24:14
Bamboozle originated on the East Coast, descending on the parking lots of the Meadowlands sports complex. When the powers-that-be (the promoters) decided to expand and "go west" with their fest, they came up with a Left Coast event that rivaled its cross-country counterpart in scope, size and caliber of bands. Bamboozle Left offered the event's ...more

Vomit on the floor, fists in the air and a whole lot of black clothing—is Slipknot onstage? Lady Gaga | by Kevin Estrada No, actually not.

Live Review: Devildriver – The Palladium, Hollywood
Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:27:55
Heavy metal needs Devildriver. In fact, they could very well save the genre. These five individuals proved that on stage at the Hollywood Palladium this past Friday. On a bill stacked with fan darlings Lamb of God and Children of Bodom, Devildriver put on the most memorable and maniacal set of the evening. After watching them lay waste to the ...more

Live Review: Denis Leary (The Rescue Me Comedy Tour) – Nokia Theater, Los Angeles
Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:51:05
Denis Leary was born to rock. The Los Angeles stop of his Rescue Me comedy tour felt like an epic arena rock show. Leary proudly brandished a combination of George Carlin's angry brilliance, Richard Pryor's manic delivery and Robert Plant's stage swagger. This is easily the best comedy package to hit the circuit in years, and it will go down in ...more

Live Review: Deftones - Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, Irvine
Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:44:56
Rebirth is a funny thing. Classically, it can happen by fire or by water. It takes place at night or during the day. You can be "reborn" when you're young or old. Regardless, the whole concept always falls in the middle of two polar opposites. The same can be said for Deftones. The Sacramento band's near-20 year career has been characterized by ...more

Live Review: Garfunkel and Oates - The Fake Gallery, Los Angeles
Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:19:54
As vapid and vacant as Los Angeles can be, there's still a lot of life beating in the city's stillborn heart. Beyond the gloss of Hollywood clubs, like Opera and Les "Duh," and tourist traps, like the "walk of shame," exists an underground artist community that's producing more genuinely fulfilling product than most major studios are. In the ...more
