Def Leppard Guitarist Talks New Live Album and DVD Set, Tour Plans
It's hard to believe that in over 33 years, rock legends Def Leppard have never released an official live album. Instead, they've kept on plugging away through great times (the '80s), hard times ('the '90s) and pretty good times (the '00s)...

Bon Jovi Guitarist Richie Sambora Unveils New Tunes, Clothing Line

Megadeth Frontman: ‘Pray’ for Full Big Four Tour in the US
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine was clearly hoping his band's ninth Grammy nomination since 1990 -- for the song 'Sudden Death' -- would finally net him a guilded gramophone statuette. That honor, of course, went to Iron Maiden for 'El Dorado...
Total F—ing Destruction Bring the Grind with ‘Dudehammer’ — Song Premiere
The brainchild of Brutal Truth drummer Richard Hoak, Total F---ing Destruction are an experimental grindcore quartet that value speed, insanity, brutality and humor in equal doses.
