Ex-Madball drummer Jay Weinberg -- son of Max Weinberg, the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's famed E Street Band -- has struck back at his former band members, telling Noisecreep he wasn't fired from the band.

Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington Shares His Top Five Horror Movies
Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington will face a grisly challenge to the death when 'Saw 3D' comes out on Oct. 29. Good thing we had a chance to talk to him about his top five favorite horror movies before Jigsaw renders him too incapacitated to speak...
Rob Zombie Still Thinks Everything Is Boring, Especially 3D
It's no wonder Rob Zombie isn't impressed by the Hollywood luster of 3D. The worlds he's created have always been larger than life and right in your face. Whether he was prowling the stage with White Zombie in the '90s, exploring new realms of sound and vision as a solo artist from 1998 onward or channeling his strange, horrifying ideas onto film with 'House of a 1,000 Corpses,' 'The Devil's Rejec

Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington Gets Trapped in ‘Saw 3D’
The film is being billed as "the final act of a legend." And no, it's not a long-lost Tony Curtis movie. It's 'Saw 3D,' the seventh and last film in the 'Saw' franchise. And the sinister Jigsaw is going out with bang, not a buzz. In addition to being filmed in 3D, the movie will be the first (and last) of the series to feature a multi-platinum rock star in the jaws of death...
Scott Ian: Anthrax’s Singer Issues Paved the Way for the Damned Things

Linkin Park Drop the Bomb, Revel in the Aftermath of ‘A Thousand Suns’
First the good news: Linkin Park's fourth album, 'A Thousand Suns,' is refreshingly creative, thematically intriguing and sonically bleak. Instead of returning to the rap metal formula that has proved successful for most of their career, they've gone even further into the introspective alternative zone they explored on 2007's 'Minutes to Midnight,' an album that owed as much to U2 as to Nine Inch
