John 5 took to social media to refute allegations that he mimed his guitar parts onstage with Motley Crue. These claims have been peddled on YouTube over the past few days and shared by certain rock and metal sites.

However, in a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday morning (which you can watch below), John 5 addressed these accusations and offered a technical explanation for what he was doing. “I do this thing wh...

Their first DJ, Adam Bravin would go onto form popular darkwave duo She Wants Revenge and become personal DJ for former president Barack Obama. But maybe the most insane former member to grace the band’s roster was drummer James “JBJ” Brad...

Could a long-awaited Sepultura reunion actually happen? It seems more likely than before now that estranged member Max Cavalera and classic guitarist Andreas Kisser have both expressed interest in doing so. It’s been nearly 30 years since the frontman departed the Brazilian metal legends in a contentious split. Neither side has appeared very willing to come to the table to discuss getting back together and putting the past behind them. With Sepultura’s farewell tour in motion, perhaps Cavalera and Kisser are looking at things with a new perspective. What Max Cavalera Is SayingFor years, Max Ca...

Here are Cannibal Corpse‘s six best slow songs. The death metal legends are among the most consistent bands in the scene, reliably cranking out high quality records that are technical, catchy and feature unmatched lyrical brutality. The deranged and frantic nature of the music is the ideal compliment to a bottomless well stories about all the violent things you can do to humans. As violent and gory as Cannibal Corpse are, they’ve always viewed their music to be like an audio version of a horror movie, rather than reflecting any real-world internal desires to carry out any of these atrocities. ...

Mike Portnoy has named his favorite album of the 21st century in a new Instagram post, reaffirming decades of his own high praise for this one particular record. We all know that our favorites can change over time and what we think is the best of any certain era may be supplanted as well.

Even so, the Dream Theater drummer has been a longtime proponent of the brilliance of Muse‘s 2003 album Absolution. Renewing that support, he shared the album cover on Instagram, writing, “Recent c...
