GWAR Review Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’
You wouldn’t necessarily know it from listening to songs like ‘The Insidious Soliloquy of Skulhed Face’ or ‘The Master Has a Butt,’ but the members of GWAR are apparently huge film buffs. Well, okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch — but that didn’t keep lead singer Oderus Urungus and rhythm guitarist Balsac the Jaws of Death from reviewing Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ recently.

Courtney Love Facing Eviction From New York Townhouse
It wouldn’t be a normal month in the news if we didn’t hear at least one off-the-wall story about Courtney Love — and just in time for Christmas, she’s given us a doozy, getting evicted from her New York townhouse for outlandish and destructive (read: totally Courtney) behavior.
Duff McKagan’s Loaded Confirmed as Openers for Two Guns N’ Roses Shows
Talk is always cheap where Guns N’ Roses are concerned, so if you’ve taken the rumors about Duff McKagan‘s Loaded serving as a support act on GN’R's current tour with a grain of salt, we definitely don’t blame you. But in this case, it turns out that the rumors were true: a little over a year after he made a surprise appearance at a Guns gig in London, McKagan’s crew will be hitting the road in su
Puddle of Mudd Singer Wes Scantlin Reportedly Owes $60,000 in Back Taxes
Puddle of Mudd‘s latest album, ‘Re(disc:)overed,’ may have earned the band another Top 5 album on Billboard’s Hard Rock charts this past August, but that doesn’t mean 2011 has been all sunshine and roses for frontman Wes Scantlin — in fact, between filing for divorce from his wife of four years and losing the band’s guitarist, Paul Phillips, something tells us that Scantlin won’t be sorry to see t
The Darkness Return to America with 2012 Tour
Remember the spine-tingling thrill of hearing Darkness singer Justin Hawkins unleash his falsetto for the first time on the band’s big hit ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’?

Slipknot’s Corey Taylor: Scott Weiland Is a Lazy Piece of S—

Were the ‘South Park’ Creators the Targets of a Scientology Revenge Scheme?
The Church of Scientology has a reputation for being litigious when they feel threatened, but that didn’t stop ‘South Park’ from mocking them through the entirety of the show’s 2005 ‘Trapped in the Closet’ episode.
According to a document obtained by a high-level former Scientologist, the church didn’t take kindly to being made fun of, and it mounted a secret revenge campaign against ‘South Park’

Before Rooney Mara landed the lead in David Fincher’s ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,’ a long list of actresses were rumored for the part, including Ellen Page, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson and Scarlett Johansson.

Last month, Primus fans celebrated the release of ‘Green Naugahyde,’ the band’s first new album in over a decade. But to hear bassist and band frontman Les Claypool describe the release, the Primus reunion didn’t meet up to the hype.
