Stepping out from the shadows of family history is always a challenge, but when your surname is that of two of the most famous drummers in musical history, the task can be even more daunting. For Jager Henry — son of powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham and the grandson of LED ZEPPELIN drum icon John Bonham — carving his own path has always been in his blood. Choosing to showcase his creativity via being a vocalist and songwriter is never more apparent than on his debut EP "Heart Of Thorns" — scheduled for release on August 23 via Born Sad Records. The eight-track EP is the perfect launching pad to introduce Jager to the world. The new EP is now available for pre-save via all digital service providers and for pre-order in physical configurations.

Guitarists love inventing fresh ways to play, and despite all of the innovations that’ve already been made, there are still new techniques to uncover. Just look at Columbian progressive/tech-death metal axman Sebastiside, whose “hybrid rasgueado” rhythmic approach is astounding everyone who sees it. In a new interview...

Genesis crossed so many genres back in their heyday of the 1970s and 1980s. They evolved from a prog-rock band into pop-rock and prog-pop through the years. They delivered some truly incredible hits. “Land Of Confusion” and “That’s All” are just a couple of chart-topping tracks. However, there was one song that the band eventually stopped playing live; and Phil Collins won’t even play it as a solo artist. That song would be the “Abacab” from the 1981 record of the same name.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

In a new interview with the On The Road To Rock podcast with Clint Switzer, former FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Jason Hook spoke about the blend of melody and aggression on the upcoming debut album from his band FLAT BLACK, "Dark Side Of The Brain", which will arrive on July 19 via Fearless Records. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "FLAT BLACK is all about creating a balance. I love really aggressive music and the energy that comes from that, but I'm also a fan of good melody. So it's really just trying to always work out that blend. It's impossible to satisfy everyone's palate, so you might as well just let go of that right out of the gate. And what I tried to do is I wanted to make songs that I like. I have the freedom now. It's just, like, if I like it, it gets used. If I don't like it, we don't use it. It was really important for me to satisfy my own heart. And so there is that variety. I like really aggressive stuff, but I don't think you can… I think the balance has to be there. If it's just too brutal, then you're shutting off people that like not that."

Here's the story of the song that broke up Axl Rose and Slash. Things were never perfect within the Guns N' Roses camp, and tensions between the singer and the guitarist existed long before Slash actually left the band in 1996. Rose was assertive and confrontational, whereas Slash was quieter and tried to avoid conflict at all costs.

It doesn’t matter where you stand on the subject of Pink Floyd, the revered British “space-rock” band whose enduring popularity is rivaled only by such giants as The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Queen. Whether you love ‘em or hate ‘em, you have to admit the unit that gave us such epic albums as “Dark Side Of the Moon” and “The Wall” are a most unlikely candidate for immortality.

Few bands have the kind of progressive death metal intuition that WHITE STONES are packing. Formed by OPETH bassist Martin Mendez just over five years ago, the Barcelona-based quintet have already released two well-received and intriguing studio records. The spirit of his other band was undeniably present and discernible throughout both, but by the time WHITE STONES released "Dancing Into Oblivion" in 2021, they seemed to have already outgrown any need to directly emulate the Swedish titans. Instead, Mendez's band started to get weird and experimental, albeit still within a framework of prog-inclined heaviness.

Steven Van Zandt is a rock and roll legend but one who has flown under the radar for decades. You may mostly know him for his hilariously wise and sometimes obtuse "Sopranos" character Silvio Dante who was known on the show for his Michael Corleone impression. Outside of his infamous role, the rocker has made countless contributions to rock and roll, established in HBO's documentary "Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple." Directed by Bill Teck, the film takes audiences through the humble origins of Van Zandt to the heights of his career as a rock and roll star, producer and hitmaker.

For most fans, this isn’t even debatable: Exile On Main St. is The Rolling Stones’ best album of all time. Released in 1972, the album is beloved for its odd musicianship, somewhat messy production, and rock-star energy complete with the sounds of partying going on in the background on some tracks.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
