Alice Cooper

The nominations for 2011's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class are out, and after years of fans and fellow artists voicing their displeasure, the grandfather of shock, Alice Copper, has been named.

The Gruesome Twosome Tour earlier this year just wasn't enough -- and how could it have been? The demand for Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper to share the stage was just too big to let it end there. So it's time for a sequel. For the go-round, the 13-date run is being called The Halloween Hootenanny Tour, just in time for the ghoulish holiday...

"It's an honor to be nominated" is usually just a cliché people spout when they've lost an award. But in the case of the Devil Wears Prada at the recent Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles (which airs on VH1 Classics May 22) that tried and true adage is sincere. Losin...

Right before Korn starts their headline set on Mayhem 2010, Rob Zombie will take the stage to enthrall the masses with a mix of industrial-tinged rock and B-horror movie theatrics. For Zombie, being a musician means staying true to the same artistic vision he's had since he founded White Zombie with some fellow students at Pratt college 25 years ago...
