My 2011
Thinking about it, I have seen over 100 live performances this year; so you can see my dilemma when asked to just pick one of those! There are two gigs that I battled between as ultimate favourite; the outcome being Alter Bridge. Even then, I still had a difficult time picking which one of the 4 shows I attended. Glasgow narrowly wins it for me, just over the big one at Wembley. The band were on...

My 2011
Gig of the year - The Jim Jones Revue supported by Lewis Floyd Henry. The Plug, Sheffield, 2nd April 2011.
I’ve been to many gigs this year, but none stand out like this one. First, the show was started off by perhaps the best support act I’ve seen in quite a long time: Lewis Floyd Henry, the one man band. To some he’s ’just a crazy busker’, but they do say that...

My 2011
Well, what can I say, 2011 has been quite the year for music for me. I think I have tackled more gigs this year than ever before. I’ve been up and down the country, been to three festivals, and seen and heard all sorts! So when it comes to picking my favourite of the year it is a tough decision, a very tough decision.
I think though, for my best gig of the year, I am going to have to go with...

Will the Axl and Slash feud finally end?
Since the rock n roll hall of fame announcement, Guns N’ Roses have become the centre of rock gossip. Axl Rose has now hinted that he would be willing to re-introduce classic members Duff McKagan and Slash back in to the fold; less keen on rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler. The frontman told LA times; “The only thing that would make it would be Duff and Slash, really....

My 2011
Like my co-writers, I’ve been to stupid amounts of events this year. I guess that’s what you get when you have an insatiable appetite that’s difficult to quench. So when the task came of trying to pick ONE concert and ONE album that have been my favourites this year, I breathed a dreaded sigh.
A lot can happen in the space of a year, and there’s been a tremendous amount of events and just as many...

F*** Christmas!
If you’re like me, the worst part about Christmas is the dreadful music we are subjected to listen to. It really is truly terrible! Searching to see what Spotify has to offer, I have come up with an alternative playlist to replace the warblings of the likes of Mariah Carey! Let us know you’re favourite Christmas tracks. Hope you enjoy!

Pearl Jam - PJ20
Well, 2011 has certainly been the year of grunge and important anniversaries. 20 years since Nirvana released Nevermind, 20 years since Soundgarden released Badmotorfinger and 20 years since the release of Ten by Pearl Jam. A few months back, to mark this occasion the band released a special film titled PJ20 for one night only in theatres around the world. It set about showing Pearl Jam from when...

Introducing...The Cartellos!
As we have previously mentioned (ok, quite a lot!), this year has been a great one for the resurgence of both classic rock and bluesy rock n roll; The Cartellos fit into the latter.
Their biography is short but sweet, and a bit like their music description; no nonsense. Heading back to influences of the 60’s, the quartet are fuelled by blues hooks and rock n roll riffs. Ben Riley’s vocals are...

Duff McKagan - It's So Easy (And Other Lies)
Guns N’ Roses are one of the most recognisable and interesting bands in the rock world. A lot of drama surrounds the group and fans revel in any new information availble. In the past few years both Slash and Steven Adler have told their story, now the time had come to hear Duff McKagan’s side…
The book starts with a very light, funny story about his daughters’ 13th birthday party and the new...

Pretty much a dream tour for many people, as the crowds begin to fill the Motorpoint Arena the night kick off with Steel Panther. I have to say, they...

Loaded to support Guns N' Roses
Now if you watched Axl Rose’s interview with That Metal Show last month, you will have heard him throw out there that Duff McKagan’s group Loaded were to support them on their US tour. Not only did this statement completely baffle a lot of fans, but once again started speculation of Duff’s status with GnR after performing with the group in London earlier this year. With the...

Adam Ant - Leeds Academy, 10.12.11
Known for his boyish good looks back in the day, the crowd assembling for Adam Ant are here for the nostalgia of that time. There are still fans that come dressed up!
Accompanied by all female supports act, both groups which, without going into too much detail, were poor. Attempting to cover Led Zeppelin classic Whole Lotta Love, Dressing For Pleasure were weak in all musical areas. Poussez Posse...

Korn - The Path Of Totality
When the words Korn and dubstep were first heard together, I think the metal world did a collective shudder. Could these two extremes possibly work? Especially after the recent failings of Loutallica! Nevertheless, first single Get Up!, featuring Skrillex was released and got us thinking, maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad…
Opener Chaos Lives In Everything, is another collaboration with the...
