And while it was technically their first performance as Vista Chino, they’d been playing as Kyuss Lives! for the past few years. A lawsuit prevented them from continuing on with that name, despite […]

As soon as they announced the lineup of last year’s Orion Music + More Festival. it was apparent that Metallica were doing things differently.
