You might find this hard to believe, but today the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees were announced, and there aren’t any heavy acts being inducted into it! Well, that’s not entirely true. Green Day’s pop-punk is definitely a little more amped up than the Bill Withers and Lou Reed, who are also being […]

One of the forefathers of rock and roll, his work in the Velvet Underground. and then as a solo artist, is deified by many.

Music podcast Low Times recently had a genius idea after viewing a TV ad for a custom T-shirt company. After seeing the ad for CustomInk during a viewing of Good Will Hunting, Daniel Ralston came up with an idea – Design The Worst Band Shirt Ever.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QFtgSwTveI[/youtube] God bless Metal Sucks. They’ve found the latest mash-up by Australian artist Wax Audio, which takes Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” and marries it to “Doin’ It,” a 1976 track by jazz/funk artist Herbie Hancock.

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Morbid Angel. Their most recent album, last year’s Illud Divinum Insanus, wasn’t exactly their most popular album. In fact, until Lou Reed and Metallica’s Lulu came out, was considered by many to be the year’s worst metal album (in it’s defense, there were a handful of good tracks […]
