Alex Lifeson recently discovered a brilliant new practice regimen to keep his chops up: playing Rush songs with former bandmate Geddy Lee. It’s something they hadn’t done regularly in nearly a decade, as Rush played their final show in 2015 and called it quits after the death of drummer Neil Peart in January 2020. But lately, the guitarist has been getting a kick out of casually revisiting the band’s catalog with Lee. “We decided that we would play some Rush songs. Because, you know, we haven’t played these songs in 10 years,” Lifeson tells UCR. “We started that a couple of weeks ago. We get t...

On Feb. 10, 2023, In Flames released their 14th studio album, Foregone. It was met with critical acclaim from fans and critics alike — in fact, Loudwire named it one of the best albums of the year. One thing that Loudwire noted — as well as many others — was that Foregone was largely a “return to form” for longtime In Flames fans. On Friday’s Loudwire Nights (May 3), host Chuck Armstrong asked In Flames frontman Anders Fridén about fans’ reception to Foregone. “I hear this here and there,” Fridén admitted about people saying Foregone is a return for In Flames, “but I’ve stopped reading what pe...

On Thursday’s Loudwire Nights (May 2), host Chuck Armstrong shared an exclusive conversation with Motley Crue‘s John 5 and Tommy Lee and Kevin Vargas, who runs El Paso’s rock radio station — and member of the Loudwire Nights family — 95.5 KLAQ. The three caught up about what it’s like having John 5 in the band and why they chose “Dogs of War” as their first offering this year. “We recorded three tunes, a cover that we all love and a couple others,” Lee explained to Vargas. “The whole idea and the vibe of [‘Dogs of War’] was like, you know what, let’s go with this one.

In 2019, Jackson Roemers and Fabian Angel got together to pursue their dreams of starting a rock band and formed StrateJacket. Unfortunately, they had no idea what was ahead for them and the rest of the world. “We played maybe four shows before the pandemic hit,” Roemers told Chuck Armstrong Tuesday’s Loudwire Nights (April 30). “We felt stumped at the beginning, which really lowered morale quite a bit.” Fortunately, rather than letting the pandemic crush their dreams, Roemers and Angel persevered, first by finding a new drummer, Nate Mangle, and then by committing to practice nonstop until th...

“We’re definitely not slowing down, playing less guitars,” says DragonForce‘s Herman Li, referencing the epic song “Burning Heart” and its 13 or so guitar solos. Within a chat with Full Metal Jackie for her weekend radio show, the guitar great spoke on the current state of the guitar solo, with a declaration for some of his fellow players who are downplaying their importance. “I think it’s cool to say something shocking. But to be honest, we all know guitar is not going anywhere,” says Li to the guitar solo detractors. And he points to the band’s Despicable Me 4 trailer nod as yet another sign...

On Friday, April 26, Motley Crue released their first new song since 2019’s “The Dirt (Est. 1981),” the anthemic “Dogs of War.” With John 5 on guitar for the first time with Crue and an utterly crazy music video to accompany it, there was plenty for fans to get excited about with the new song. But for fans who were hoping “Dogs of War” might be pointing to Motley Crue’s next studio album — what would be their first since 2008’s Saints of Los Angeles — frontman Vince Neil had some sobering news. “I don’t think you’re going to see a full-length at any time,” Neil revealed to Chuck Armstrong on F...

Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has a simple declaration for the critics who have tried to write them off for decades: “You can’t kill us!” Neil and bassist Nikki Sixx recently spoke to UCR’s Matt Wardlaw about Motley Crue’s new single, “Dogs of War,” out today. You can listen to part of the conversation below. The defiant track marks the first Motley Crue song since 2019 and their first with guitarist John 5, who replaced founding guitarist Mick Mars in 2022. The song switches between grinding alt-metal riffs and eerie, melodic verses, and in the chorus Neil sings, “Don’t let them take the cr...
