MEGADETH Announces First Commercial Release Of ‘Unplugged In Boston’ Concert
It was one of the most unique and sought-after concert experiences in MEGADETH fandom — an intimate, scaled-down performance featuring Dave Mustaine and company on acoustic guitars stripping down their heavy metal anthems to their primal elements. These special engagements became the stuff of legend over the years and recordings of these performances were made available exclusively through the MEGADETH fanclub. But now, the band has partnered with Los Angeles-based indie label Cleopatra Records to make this experience open to all with the first-ever commercial release of “Unplugged In Boston”, a spectacular acoustic concert recorded in 2001. Coming just on the heels of the band’s stylishly aggressive album “The World Needs A Hero”, the setlist kicks off with o...
FOO FIGHTERS To Rock Alaska For The First Time
Not content to bring live rock n roll marathons back to the Lower 48, FOO FIGHTERS have confirmed a three-show expedition to Alaska. The band will play its first ever shows in the Last Frontier August 17 and 19 at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage, and August 21 at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Glitter Suit – VELVET INSANE
RATING: 7/10 It is a known fact that the Swedes are exceptionally good at rock ‘n’ roll. They are also exceptionally good at death metal and crusty hardcore, amongst a huge number of other genres, but snake-hipped and resolutely cool-as-fuck rock ‘n’ roll is something of a specialty. VELVET INSANE adhere to every brilliant tradition that you might anticipate from a band with songs bearing titles like “Backstreet Liberace” and “Space Age DJ”. Cut from the same, sequined cloth as their many forebears, they follow proudly in the footsteps of THE HELLACOPTERS and BACKYARD BABIES, but with an added frisson of sparkly eyed glam rock abandon and lush, symphonic pop harmonies and embellishments thrown in to make every song even more uplifting. From t...

We used to say it would never happen.

It was an incredible ride, and when we walked offstage, I personally just said, ‘That’s it for me.’ But who knows?” Asked if he misses playing live, Jay Jay said: “No. I do...

Ben Carson Puts On Tap Shoes Again, Says Welfare Harmed Black Communities More Than Slavery
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bloomberg / Getty Dr. Ben Carson has long been a champion of politically and socially conservative values which only increased during his time as a member of former President Donald Trump’s administration. Speaking recently at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas, Carson made the utterance that welfare and government assistance has undermined Black families far more than slavery. Carson, the former HUD secretary, spoke to the CPAC attendees and made his explosive statement regarding welfare and Black lives. Carson has expressed similar sentiment before, and it checks out with the usual refrain spoken by conservative pundits and other figures who offer opinions from the right. “When you look at what the Black community has b...
