Show Review- A Perfect Circle @ Fox Theater

What's with all the covers, guys?

The last time Maynard James Keenan’s second most popular band, A Perfect Circle,  played in Detroit during their first go around, it was a pretty jam packed show at the Palace back in 2004. Fast forward seven years, and the band is giving it another try [...]

2011 Warped Tour Rundown

Warped Tour brought the teenage masses to Comerica this past Monday.

This year’s installment of the Vans Warped Tour is now over with, and with a good sunny and breezy day behind us, I didn’t see as many people burnt out early as I have with Warped Tours in the past. The [...]

Review- Ozzy Osbourne @ Palace 2-12-11

Wish my seats were this close, I was touching the rafters where I was at.

Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne hasn’t exactly maintained his cred during the past decade. Even though his OzzFest went pretty strong through most of the last decade, reality shows and shameless promotion gave Osbourne a little bit [...]

Review- Linkin Park @ Joe Louis Arena

To say the least, the reviews for Linkin Park’s latest album, “A Thousand Suns” have been polarizing. Some fans love the stylistic changes of the album, while others just want to hear the old school Linkin Park [...]

Album Review: The Damned Things “Ironiclast”

Even Zombie George Washington would be proud of this album…

Taking members from Anthrax, Every Time I Die and Fall Out Boy don’t exactly sound like the most likely to join forces in a hard rock supergroup, but that’s exactly what the Damned Things are putting together on their debut.

Mix a little [...]

Movie Review: “Tron Legacy”

Yeah, you wish you were that close to Olivia Wylde…

Starring: Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wylde, Michael Sheen
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Rated: PG

Back in 1982, “Tron” was seen as a technological marvel at the time, but the movie was a huge disappointment at the box office. Over time, the movie has gone on to become a [...]

Review- Zane Lamprey’s “Sing The Booze”

Zane and crew got their drunk on this past Tuesday night.

Last time comedian Zane Lamprey rolled into town, a drunken good time in June was had by all. Lamprey’s show in June was a fun and rowdy time of stand up and songs and for those expecting the same show during [...]

Reviews of MCB’s Metal Weekend

That almost looks like a smile from Danzig…almost.

Detroit had quite the metal weekend that took place this past weekend as two major package tours made their way through the Motor City this past weekend. Glenn Danzig brought his third installment of the “Blackest of the Black” tour to Royal Oak on [...]

Album Review- Iron Maiden “The Final Frontier”

It wouldn't have hurt "Frontier" to be a bit shorter.

Iron Maiden’s body of work is one of the greatest ever seen in the world of metal. From songs like “Number of the Beast” to “The Trooper”, the band’s anthems are always at or near the top of any metal fans’ list.

Since [...]

Rockstar Mayhem Festival 2010 Review

Congrats Detroit! You gave Mayhem their first sellout of 2010.

Unlike past years where the sun reigned down on the patrons of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival and left scores of sunburns to be had- this year’s mostly cloudy weather throughout most of the day was a welcomed relief from festivals of [...]
