Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin barely has time to rest at home on the Florida coast these days. With the big UPROAR Tour starting in just a couple of weeks, he's getting in some rehearsal time with 'Smack guitarist Tony Rombola, who also lives in the Sunshine State, but before that trek, …

Holy Maynard! Could it be true? Tool, who MetalSucks so appropriately called "the past, present and future best band on the planet," are writing material for a new record, working three days a week on new tunes while frontman Maynard James Keenan continues touring the U...

For more than a year now, Metallica have been trotting the globe, traveling from continent to continent, promoting their latest album, 'Death Magnetic.' And the band's still at it, playing a recent show in Colombia that, needless to say, didn't go so well...
