Tonight Def Leppard performs with Taylor Swift on CMT’s “Crossroads.” The episode airs at 9 p.m. and features the artists playing each other’s tunes. Check out Taylor Swift singing lead on Def Leppard’s “Photograph” below: Great music knows no boundaries as Great Britain’s premiere arena rock band and a country superstar take the stage together […]
Tonight, Gene Simmons of Kiss will be the celebrity contestant on “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” Tune in to Fox at 8 p.m. to watch the episode. I don’t think Gene will do very well on the show. He is an intelligent businessman (except on “The Apprentice”) but never seems that sharp when […]
Below is a review of last night’s Weezer concert at MSG from Nza, a friend to the Gears of Rock: I HAVE SEEN WEEZER ON EVERY TOUR SINCE THEIR BIRTH AND DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS TIME THEY HAD THE MOST ENERGY EVER UP THERE. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THEY ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE […]
I was unable to attend this show, but it doesn’t mean that I should ignore it. The people I talked to about this show said Priest was sick and you know what? I believe it.

I managed to hit two important New York rock shows today. First up, the Rockstar Mayhem Festival at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. Here are the bands I had the time to experience: Airbourne – This was my introduction to these crazy Australian dudes. They act like Metallica but sound like AC/DC. They were probably […]
My 99th concert happened last Sunday at Giants Stadium, featuring New Jersey rock legends, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. This was actually only the first time I caught the boss live; I came close in 2003 but had a conflict with work. The parking lot before the show was intense. People of all […]
I just realized that I am meeting a personal milestone tomorrow evening with my 100th rock concert. The rock band is Poison and the venue is Jones Beach on Long Island. This is the 100th real rock show for me according to the best of my knowledge. My list does not include local rock bands […]
Just a quick reminder: This Thursday, July 17, is the annual VH1 Rock Honors show and the honorees are The Who. Word on the street is that Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Tenacious D, and Incubus will be there to honor the legends, okay, I know for a fact because it was taped Saturday in Los […]
