Got a chuckle out of this Blabbermouth article with Herman Rarebell patting himself on the back for his supposed lyric-writing ability: Rarebell also talked about the inspiration for the lyrics to "Rock You Like A Hurricane", which was released as the lead single from SCORPIONS' ninth studio...

Yes, anyone who hasn’t read 1984 yet absolutely should.

Fair enough, though it feels more just to target red states where possible. That’s true, and even the blue states have a ton of Trump voters in them, so you will still impact a lot of people who deserve it. But the entire situation is inherently shitty for all involved.

Unfortunate that out of that list, only Michigan and a fraction of Maine actually contributed to Trump’s election in the electoral college.

Mine’s about 1700 capacity.

Ditto for Minneapolis. Took balcony seats, didn’t feel like splurging for front row balcony though.

Saw Captain America: Brave New World last night, and despite mediocre reviews I think it was a solid film in the end. Interesting choices on which parts of MCU history it decided to latch itself onto, too. Will be interesting to see where they go with Thunderbolts*, especially given some of...

Haven’t heard the remaster yet, but “Blood On The World’s Hands”, “2 A.M.”, and “Sign Of The Cross” are still the only good-to-great songs on this album, IMO. Blaze’s vocal performance is mostly weak, the production is embarrassingly bad, and the songwriting is exceptionally poor in places...

AMOLAD’s guitars are surprisingly in-your-face, which puts some real oomph behind the riffs. My personal favorite guitar sound from Maiden, though Powerslave and Somewhere In Time are also quite good.

New single “Black Light” premieres tomorrow (2/20) at 2:50pm GMT!

April 4, according to the web site. Also, there’s an event at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on March 5 where they’ll discuss the new album and play an acoustic set. Ticket presale has already started.

This is definitely not true on a cultural level. Americans and Canadians have enjoyed a warm and fuzzy cultural relationship for over 100 years at least, we’ve comingled professional sports leagues, and pre-9/11 you only needed your driver’s license to cross the border. We also have special...

Canadians have every right to be furious with the U.S. over this, and I hope in time when Trump is a not too distant memory that the Canada/U.S. relationship will return to its original warm and fuzzy state. Apologies to our polite neighbors to the north — my state voted blue, and that’s all...
