Late in the summer of 1980 I was playing guitar in this band with this girl and her manager suggested that it would be a smart move for us all to move to New York so we did. The first week we were here we played a gig at the Ritz (now known by it's original name Webster Hall) that was filmed for the movie " Urgh-A Music War "). That was quite an event but another event from the end of that...

The numbers: #3 Nirvana 56% ; #8 John Mellencamp 32%; Los Lobos 12%. On Monday we’ll launch the third phase of the Tournament of Rock – Legends, as our contest to name the greatest...

This weeks PAL PlayStation Store update is a small one, but despite dire warnings on the European PlayStation site, things aren't as bad as you'd think. While genuinely new content is thin on the ground, there are plenty of sales to make up for it, like substantial savings on Siren: Blood Curse and a range of PSP and PS1 games

The title of the latest game in the Hero franchise is a little misleading. Band Hero sounds like a new direction for the franchise, a completely new brand. But other Hero games already include a full band ( World Tour , Guitar Hero 5 , Metallica ). It's a strange title for a game that's basically Guitar Hero 5-2. Band Hero uses the same framework and ideas as GH5, just with less hard rocking and a...

"Even though she was born and bred in chillaxed Los Angeles, Kristen is an intense young lady — and the shock of unruly black hair she currently has (a legacy from her role as Joan Jett in the upcoming The Runaways) does nothing to dispel that perception. Some Twilight fans were upset about their Bella turning into a noir-haired badass, but rest assured she’ll be wearing a wig in...

I suppose it could just be that more cool things tend to happen in entertainment at the end of the year, but for the third time in a row I received the final copy of one of my magazine subscriptions that I wasn't planning to renew (for general lack of interest) only to find it to be the most wonderful issue I've seen in ages. This time around it's INTERVIEW , which happens to be the 40th anniversary...

I still enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars. I thought everyone did really well Monday night. And of course, just like everyone, I don’t agree with the way the judges score the dances. It seems like the celebrity dancers who seem to be more acclimated to dancing are judged more harshly like and the celebrity dancers [...]
