Rush fans worldwide are awaiting the next studio album, which is due to be released sometime next year. This time the group will be trying something new: Going into the studio right after the completion of their “Time Machine” tour to wrap up the work that remains to be done on the new album. They [...]

It’s been almost a week since Pat Benatar’s new book hit store shelves. Being a bit of a slow reader (mostly due to time constraints), I just finished reading it last night. Normally, I would conclude that only Pat Benatar fans would have any real interest in reading her memoir, and I was a little [...]

The last news item we reported on here that had anything to do with 1970’s hit makers Bachman-Turner Overdrive was a result of the public battle between the members of the group who were at odds over the use of the band’s name. Both Randy Bachman and Fred Turner appeared to be putting an act [...]

Queen guitar legend Brian May as become involved in an issue that’s making headlines in the United Kingdom. May’s name has been popping up on the radar over the past month or so as a result of his animal rights activity. Now I’m not sure what he’s been up to can be classified as “animal [...]

The “Bad Boys From Boston” have done it again. Apparently, there are at least a few people in western Canada that are not too happy about the group’s decision to exclude the area from their summer tour. Aerosmith had been scheduled to perform five shows in western Canada last summer, but after Steven Tyler’s fall from [...]

It’s been 17 long years, but The Steve Miller Band is back with a brand-new studio album that’s set to hit stores on June 15th. Those anxious to get a listen can check it out for free online at Yahoo Music. For those of you that are still reading, it’s probably fair for me to say [...]

Fresh off their South American tour, Boston rockers Aerosmith will soon hit the road again, this time for a European tour that will take them from Sweden to Italy. U.S. fans can catch them live when they return at the end of July to kick off their U.S. tour. Although the news has all been pretty [...] Sponsored by: DISH Network Packages

Steve Miller is one of those guys you could pass on the street and never know he was a rock icon. Naturally, dedicated fans would be likely to recognize him, but quite frankly, he looks like just another middle-aged guy. It doesn’t end there. I’ve seen him just a few times in interviews, and he just [...]

Rush has been making news lately with plans for a new tour, release of new singles and potential legal problems as a result of possible copyright infringement. Although that last bit of news may be a bit negative when compared with the other good stuff that’s been happening with Rush, this latest development will be considered [...]

Fresh on the heels of news regarding Eagles veteran Don Henley’s tentative legal victory over a California Republican, we’re now hearing that Canadian rock trio Rush is involved in an effort to get another politician to stop using their music. The Henley case resulted from a decision by Assemblyman Chuck DeVore’s campaign that two of Henley’s [...]

The music business and merchandising go hand-in-hand. This is no less true for Canadian rock trio Rush. Accompanying them on their Time Machine tour this year will be a selection of Rush-themed merchandise, including Starman water bottles and new T-shirts. Despite the varying logos and branding efforts that have been introduced in concert with the group’s [...]

With Aerosmith set to wrap up its South American tour and set to hop the Atlantic to perform eleven shows for European fans, Boston’s Bad Boys have announced more details of their upcoming U.S. tour which will begin on July 23rd in Oakland, CA.

Suing a newspaper sounds as if it could be a rather sticky endeavor. That’s not to say that it should never be done. Especially if something was printed that isn’t factual. There are cases on the books where newspapers (particularly the ones with the sensational headlines lining supermarket checkout aisles) have paid out huge settlements [...]

What the hell are you listening to? Although probably not verbatim, that may have been pretty close to what I said to a couple of friends who happened to be Rush fans. The year was probably 1978 or 1979, or somewhere in that vicinity. Geddy Lee’s high-register vocals were somewhat off-putting at first, but the [...]

Aerosmith rolled into the South American city of Lima, Peru to perform for an estimated 30,000 fans. Living In Peru reports that frontman Steven Tyler opened the show with a few choice words in Spanish. “Buenas noches, mi gente del Peru,” Tyler said as he took to the stage. Reports of Tyler “dancing without abandon, making [...] Sponsored by: DISH Network Deals

The boys from Rush have followed through on a new idea they have been talking about since they reconvened after a break following the Snakes & Arrows tour.

Everyone knows that KISS “demon” Gene Simmons isn’t a bashful kind of guy. So it may not come as a surprise to some that the rock star who has reportedly claimed to have had sexual encounters with more than 4,000 women has been accused of acting inappropriately while in the company of a an ESPN [...] Sponsored by: DISH Network Deals
