Ramming Speed’s Jonah Livingston seems like he’d be a fun guy to party with. Not just because of the feel-good punk/thrash beats he lays down for the band, but also because of his license plate. And by that, we mean the license plate he doesn’t have, thanks to the completely unfun folks at the Virginia […]

Just moments after Motorhead frontman Lemmy lost his battle with cancer last year, a crowdfunding campaign was launched to get a statue of the iconic rocker made.

“We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll.” Those words, spoken by Lemmy Kilmister at the beginning of every one of the band’s shows, were legend. And as sad as it is that we won’t be hearing them again, Viviero Spain’s Resurrection Fest has put up professionally shot footage of last July’s Motorhead performance. […]

When you think about someone who has been in the music industry for a while, you should think of Rob Zombie, as he’s been in the business for nearly 30 years. Therefore, it’s interesting to ask him about the state of rock and metal to get a perspective from someone who has been involved in […]

Earlier this week, Black Stone Cherry picked up a bunch of press when a comment in an interview they made was blown out of proportion. Granted, when that comment is that every day you were on tour with Motorhead in 2009, you were offered cocaine and turned it down, of course that’s going to get […]

When you think of Motorhead’s iconic rock and roll, Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry probably don’t come to mind, but the bands did tour together in Germany back in 2009. And according to bassist Jon Lawhon, Motorhead and their crew couldn’t stop offering their band cocaine. In an interview with Sweden’s RockSverige, he spoke about […]
