Stanley Sievers, the comedian who coined the “Mosh Retirement Guy” character, is making a new mockumentary about that very character. The plot, which frankly sounds amazing, is about the character getting in trouble for crowdkilling and getting banned from shows. When his favorite band plays a reunion show, he has to find the person he

Say what you will about Metallica; they’re still loud enough to get noise complaints from the locals. When the band played at Download Festival at Donington Park on June 8, DerbyshireLive reports that their set could be heard as far away as 15 miles away in the town of West Hallam, resulting in noise complaints.

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you guys the reveal trailer for Netherrealm Games’ highly anticipated fighter, Mortal Kombat 1. At the time, people in the know gave me shit, since it looked like a glorified CG trailer with zero gameplay. A fair criticism for sure, but I’d be lying if I said the

During his band’s set last night in Dallas, Texas, Trivium frontman Matt Heafy was suddenly forced to pull double duty as he rushed to do security’s job and help a crowd surfing fan avoid injury.

When Oscar Wilde said “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” he could have never imagined the sheer amount of imitation (otherwise known as covers) available over on YouTube. Scores of fans from all over the world show off their talents and perform their favorite songs simply because they love the music. Hell, even some

Movie obsessed grindcore outfit Graf Orlock have long been a favorite of the degenerates that run MetalSucks over the years, so who am I to buck tradition? After listening to their new single “Dead Out of the Sun” from their upcoming EP End Credits, which you can check out below, I can honestly say this

In a surprising turn of events, Slipknot took to social media just moments ago to announce that their sampler/keyboardist Craig Jones was no longer in the band. No specific reason was given as to why the two parties decided to call it quits, or whether it was a mutual agreement at all in the first

The days of pounding back beers at concerts could be fading into obscurity. Or rather, fewer people are buying less and less of the suds and that’s cause for alarm for venues everywhere. This new revelation is courtesy of a recent study that shows Gen Z concertgoers drink less while at a show. For the

We all know it’s hard out there for a struggling band to make ends meet when they go out on tour. It’s so bad that bands have canceled tours, blown the whistle on unfair tactics by venues, and even called it quits because things have gotten so bad. But what about a major and established

In what promises to be a wild show, the Japanese trio known as Boris will be hitting the road with the “Los Angeles-by-way-of-Washington” oddfellows Melvins for what they’re calling the “Twins of Evil Tour.” For seven weeks, the two bands will traipse across the U.S. with plans set for each act to play one of

Color me surprised, but ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson said he would “take the call” if Megadeth were looking for a bassist and they reached out to him. His comments came during an interview with the Loaded Radio podcast. “Well, look, I’m not the one who closed the door. [Laughs] You know what I mean. “Dave’s

Two bands you might not want or expect to think about at the same time are Nickelback and Pantera, but that doesn’t change with the fact that both Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul were both fans of Nickleback and friends with the band.

Sometimes, getting into a band that’s been a blind spot of yours can be a daunting task. It’s even more difficult when the band you’re somewhat interested in is as eclectic, odd, and prolific as Melvins. Recently, Pupil Slicer bassist Luke Fabian was in that situation and he sought guidance from his nearby musical sherpa,

Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has been given the boot by his publisher Kiepenheuer & Witsch, as more allegations surface following an incident during the band’s show at Vilnius, Lithuania.

In the pantheon of rock stars that are no longer with us, there are few more unadulterated, few more real and genuine, than the late Lemmy Kilmister. Whenever Motörhead rolled into town, you knew you were going to get raw and unfiltered badassery in the form of insanely loud rock and roll. Having been fortunate
