You might know K-pop star AleXa from the reality competition show American Song Contest, where she won for her clever, EDM-tinged song “Wonderland” in 2022, but now she’s taking things in a whole new direction with her new single “Sick.” Released in February, “Sick” dives into the world of early ’00s pop-rock with its hooky guitar chords and chorus that begs to be chanted in a live setting. And it’s all a throwback to the musician’s angsty teen years spent listening to artists such as My Chemical Romance and Evanescence.

Pyromania was the album that changed everything for Def Leppard. Guitarist Phil Collen vividly remembers the rapid ascent that happened after their third album was released in January of 1983. “We were little kids, really, still basically living with our moms and dads,” he tells UCR now. “All of the sudden, you do this whole thing, go around the world and then you revisit it again. It’s really special, actually.” 41 years later, the “again” part of it all is the upcoming Pyromania 40 box set, which will be released April 26, featuring previously unreleased tracks, live footage and an extensive...

Jon Bon Jovi looked back on keeping Hugh McDonald’s work with Bon Jovi a secret, as the group tried to cover for original bassist Alec John Such. McDonald was a key member of the team from its earliest days, playing bass on “Runaway” on Bon Jovi’s self-titled debut album, and continuing to contribute from then on, often without a credit. When Such departed in 1994, McDonald became the full-time bassist, but was only made an official member in 2018. Such died of a heart attack four years later.

ZZ Top’sBilly Gibbons has traveled the world and spent countless hours in clubs with no shortage of character. Now, he owns one. Fittingly, the timeline of the Wise River Club is a bit blurry, as a story on its website notes. But in its earliest days in the 1900s, it quickly became a meeting place for adventurers who found themselves in Wise River, Montana, in need of respite after a long day of hunting, fishing and exploring. It also attracted its share of nationally known characters, including motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel. The property has evolved a lot in the decades since, but Gibbons...

The group, which also features vocalist Emmett Stang and keyboardist Steve Maggiora, are early in their journey.

Ace Frehley says there are no hard feelings between he and Justin Hawkins after the Darkness frontman called the former Kiss guitarist “a cunt” during the Monsters of Rock cruise. Both men performed at the event, which ran from March 2-7. Other artists on the bill included Joe Satriani, Quiet Riot and KK’s Priest. Discourse arose after Frehley was late for one of his sets, causing the Darkness — who were going after him — to be delayed. “Let me tell you a little story,” Hawkins began when he finally hit the stage. “You’ll notice I wear a watch onstage. Some of you think… ‘He has to regard the ...

Ace Frehley is strongly denying online accusations that he wasn’t the main guitar player on his new album. Since the well-received 10,000 Volts was released last month, some fans online have suggested that it was producer and founding Trixter guitarist Steve Brown who actually handled the majority of the guitar work on the record. “Wow. Listen to previous albums by Steve Brown. Do they sound like this record? I don’t think so. Number one, I’m doing all the vocals. Number two, I’m doing the majority of the solos,” the former Kiss star tells UCR. “You know, Steve grew up idolizing me. And he’s a...
