For all the praise and controversy Guns N’ Roses have generated with their formidable discography, they’ve stoked equal intrigue with their robust catalog of unreleased songs. Perhaps that shouldn’t come as a surprise, given frontman Axl Rose‘s perfectionistic tendencies and the glacial pace at which the band makes music. In the last 25 years, Guns

The Cure bassist Simon Gallup says he’s exited the lineup, ending his long tenure in the gothic rock band. “With a slightly heavy heart I am no longer a member of the Cure!” he wrote Saturday on his personal Facebook account. “Good luck to them all…” According to Rolling Stone, when asked if the departure

As a legendary rocker in his own right, Sammy Hagar is used to rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in music. Still, there’s one star he was never able to meet: Prince. The closest the Red Rocker ever came to meeting the Purple One was at the 27th annual Grammy awards. Both men
