Good news, Black Sabbath fans: Your long wait for new material from the band is just about over.
Steven Tyler may be gone from this season of 'American Idol,' but he won't be forgotten -- especially after he strolled out during last night's (Jan. 31) episode to audition for the contest while wearing a blonde wig, lipstick, and fake honking breasts.
Scoring a residency gig at one of Las Vegas' many fine casinos can be a great way to pick up a healthy paycheck -- just ask Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, and/or Elton John -- but it also offers a combination of steady work without travel that can provide the perfect ingredients for writing and recording new material, and Def Leppard plans to take advantage of that during its own upcoming stint in the desert.
Discretion is definitely the better part of valor (not to mention job security) when you're part of the crew surrounding a band of young rock hedonists at their peak, and former Van Halen director of security Ed Anderson must have a million stories he he'll never tell. But that doesn't mean he won't share a little of what he's seen.
Queen's Freddie Mercury may have enjoyed singing about riding his bicycle, but like any rock star worth his salt, he had plenty of gasoline-powered wheels too -- and thanks to a recent auction, one of his nicest cars now has a new owner.
Jason Newsted has been out of Metallica for over a decade, but he'll probably never stop fielding interview questions about his time in the band -- and now that he's out promoting new music, he's answering more of them than ever. Fortunately, as he proved during a recent appearance on the Classic Metal Show (via Bravewords), he's perfectly willing to discuss his years in the trenches with the metal legends.
The folks at Topps are thinking throwback for this year's run of Topps Archives baseball cards -- and to add a little something extra for buyers looking to pick up some truly special collector's items, they're adding signed, limited-edition cards featuring some of the biggest names in '80s rock.
He's scored hits, sold millions of records, and earned himself a visit from the Secret Service -- and now, Ted Nugent can add 'focus of Twitter death hoax' to his list of accomplishments.
The guys in Rush already had big plans for 2013, what with that whole Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction thing coming up in April and all -- but it's far from the only place that fans can look for the members of the band this year.
