Playing in bands since he was 14, rocker/WWE wrestling star Chris Jericho is a wealth of knowledge about music. So he felt perfectly at ease hosting VH1's '100 Most Shocking Music Moments,' which began airing in December. "I have all this useless information stored in my brain," Jericho told Noisecreep with a laugh...

"It's not for the weak-hearted," vocalist Jeff Scott Soto tells Noisecreep of the music industry. "You have to have your strong self perseverance in this business. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Hoobastank may have sold a serious amount of records thanks to some hard work and a string of radio hits, but they know how to let loose. "Although we take our music very seriously, we don't take ourselves very seriously," frontman Doug Robb tells Noisecreep...
