For this week’s Loud List, we compiled clips of metal bands covering pop songs. You don’t typically think you’ll hear pop songs when you’re going to a metal show, but music is music, and a lot of artists don’t discriminate by genre. Plus, you’d be lying if you said there isn’t a single pop song in the history of music that you like. The definition of pop music has changed overtime, especially as certain genres become more prominent. During times where rock ‘n’ roll was the most popular style of music… one could argue that it was “pop music,” as “pop” just stands for popular. Nowadays, most peo...

Who was the better nu-metal band of the ’90s – Korn or Limp Bizkit? That’s the debate that the center of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on Loudwire Nights! When it comes to nu-metal, it doesn’t get any bigger than Korn and Limp Bizkit. One band is often credited with pioneering the genre while the other is often associated with the genre’s peak pop culture moments. Korn have remained consistent as one of hard rock and metal’s top bands over the last three decades, generating such standout tracks as “Blind,” “Got the Life,” “Falling Away From Me” and “Freak on a Leash” among others. Limp Bizkit...

Thanks to a post by his family, you can see the very first Slipknot “tribal S” logo that was drawn by Joey Jordison. The symbol was designed by the late drummer, who also helped come up with the band’s name back in 1995. The logo has become part of Slipknot’s image and culture over the years. “I have tons of folders of sketches, logos of pretty much any band I’ve been in. I drew the Slipknot logo and the tribal ‘S’,” Jordison told Kerrang!in 2017. “I drew that logo on my dad’s old desk in the house I grew up in. I had this little piece of paper and drew it with pen and ink. It stained the desk...

The group, which features Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante, sitting in for late Pantera members Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, have been making the rounds in recent years revisiting the legendary metal band’s music and by most accounts, it has been a welcome success embraced by fans of the original group.

Weezer‘s very well-known for their earworm rock songs, but did you know they get heavy? Rivers Cuomo‘s not-so-secret secret is that he loves a good riff. While many musicians who grew up on a steady diet of KISS and Metallica end up starting their own metal bands, Cuomo decided he would channel that energy into Weezer. In Weezer’s 30+ year career, the band has played everything from pop music to emo. Cuomo’s insatiable workrate at writing songs has spawned hundreds, if not thousands of songs. Of those many, Cuomo has certainly gotten heavy, adding an edge to Weezer one might not expect if thei...

Geezer Butler says he and his Black Sabbath bandmates felt a sense of shock when they watched KISS for the first time. It was 1975 and Gene Simmons and company were out opening for Sabbath on their U.S. tour. During a recent conversation with Rock Cellar, Butler admitted his band was taken aback by the theatrics of their opener. “KISS was the first band that ever used stage production,” the bassist explained. “Up until KISS came, bands like Black Sabbath used to just go on and plug in and play. KISS was the first one to use pyro. You’ve never seen that. I mean, the shock of that. And they were...

We gathered clips of Zakk Wylde telling us his funniest Ozzy Osbourne stories for a new video compilation on our YouTube channel. Wylde first joined Osbourne’s group in 1987 after the Prince of Darkness split with Jake E. Lee. Though his first tenure with Osbourne only lasted until 1992, Wylde helped write some of the singer’s biggest songs, including “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” “No More Tears” and “See You on the Other Side.” After the formation of his own band Black Label Society, Wylde returned as Osbourne’s guitarist again from 2001 until 2009, and then again in 2017. Anyone who’s worked with...

One of the biggest Scorpions songs almost had a much different name (and probably a lot less airplay) because it was pretty extreme. Original Title For “Rock You Like A Hurricane”In an interview with Classic Rock about the making of 1984’s Love at First Sting, Scorpions members broke down how they eventually landed on the songs that formed the iconic album. Love at First Sting saw that band take more of a melodic approach while not completely abandoning their sound. Herman Rarebell, Scorpions drummer from 1977-96, recalled tours with Aerosmith, Foreigner and Journey helped convince the hard ro...
