Kelly Osbourne said she once trashed a hotel room with Amy Winehouse. Destroying hotel rooms was once the quintessential rock star story. The Who were notorious for it back in the ’70s, particularly drummer Keith Moon. Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones were other bands who were allegedly known for trashing hotels, but it seems to be a less common rock star hobby these days. In the early 2000s, though, Kelly — daughter of the one and only Prince of Darkness — lived up to the rock star cliche with Winehouse, who had quite the reputation herself when she was alive. Kelly briefly touched on the ...

Bassist Todd Kerns handled lead vocals on the high-speed Use Your Illusion I rocker, approximating Axl Rose‘s alley-cat howl with ease. It’s one of several GN’R deep cuts that Slash has revived on his current tour with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, along with the Illusion tracks “Don’t Damn Me” and “Bad Apples,” both of which Kerns also sings. Guns N’ Roses themselves haven’t performed “Perfect...

Which is the better Motley Crue album – Shout at the Devil or Dr. Feelgood? That’s a tough one, and it’s also the debate at the center of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show. Shout at the Devil, released in 1983, was the album that put Motley Crue on the musical map. The title track, “Looks That Kill,” “Too Young to Fall in Love” and their cover of “Helter Skelter” helped to make Motley Crue one of the fresh faces of ’80s metal. On the other hand, Dr. Feelgood, released in 1989 at the band’s commercial peak, featured the title track, “Kickstart My Heart,” the balla...

The Satanic Temple co-founder Lucien Greaves wants to debate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after the politician recently made comments that the Satanic Temple would not be allowed to participate in a new state chaplain program signed into law last week. Greaves believes that DeSantis’ comments would constitute a form of discrimination that could result in a losing legal battle if the Satanic Temple chose to pursue it. But, while speaking with Fox News Digital, Greaves did go as far as suggesting that he the governor talk it out in a public debate about religious freedom and the Satanic Temple’...

Pop punk band The Starting Line saw a surge in popularity after they were namechecked in one of Taylor Swift‘s new songs that came out this past Friday (April 19), and the group has responded in a post on social media.

Fan reaction has been swift, with the discussion on X gaining momentum overnight after the announcement was made. The most vocal fanbase of all the snubbed acts appears to be those calling out Oasis‘ omission. It probably shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise after singer Liam Gallagher shared his disdain for...
