Would you have a threesome with Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson? Remember that the former is the daughter of metal royalty Ozzy Osbourne, who might walk in on you naked (in that HE’LL be naked). The other is the gasmask-wearing DJ from Slipknot famous for breaking both of his feet because he goddamn felt like

Yesterday marked the 52nd anniversary of Black Sabbath‘s self-titled debut, arguably the first heavy metal album ever released. And only two years ago, during the celebration of its 50-year anniversary, was the cover model for the album identified by Rolling Stone as one Louisa Livingstone. That said, while it’s cool that Louisa is part of

Back in July, the rock and metal community was crushed to learn that Joey Jordison, founding drummer of Slipknot and performer in Murderdolls and Sinsaenum, had died at the age of 46. Now, a previously-unpublished interview with Joey from 2018 has been released, and it’s both informative and very heartbreaking given what’s followed. The video

If there’s one metalhead duo more iconic than Axl Rosenberg and Vince Neilstein, it’s probably Wayne and Garth from Wayne’s World (also Beavis and Butt-Head). But while the couch-bound pals from SNL and Penelope Spheeris’ 1992 movie seemed all good onscreen, things behind the scenes weren’t quite as excellent, with comedians Mike Myers and Dana

Hey, did you know that guitarist K. K. Downing is very mad at Judas Priest? True story! In fact, K. K. really hasn’t missed an opportunity to tell the world how pissed off he is at his former band. Now, in a new interview, Downing has given a long, detailed statement about why he’s upset

Live music is definitely on rocky ground post-COVID. It often feels like two out of three tours are getting postponed before they even launch, with the third walking on eggshells and ready to be scuttled at a moment’s notice. But Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen thinks there’s no reason why this summer’s twice-rescheduled Stadium Tour

If you want a raging metal song written about a specific and awesome piece of military history, you go to Sabaton. The Swedish war buffs and tour-mongers write songs that are equal parts accurate history lesson and gripping cinematic masterpiece. Now, the band have dropped a new single, and lo and behold, it’s got a

Welp, it looks like Disturbed frontman David Draiman has gone from casual critic in the Joe Rogan/Spotify debate to furious culture warrior. Despite giving ex-Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach the ‘palms-up just-observing’ response to misunderstanding the First Amendment, Draiman has now gone full bore after Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, on Twitter. Why?

As the old saying goes, it’s not a party until someone breaks out a dildo. Any bro worth his sauce knows that a rager isn’t complete until you got some liquored-up compadre running through a crowded room, whipping a big black rubber wang over his head like he was Pervert Genghis Khan. Problem is, your

So on the one hand, last night’s BRIT Awards included Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon’s pretty terrible jam of “Bad Habits.” BUT! It also had rapper Dave firing off a gigantic flamethrower from his guitar while playing a solo on it. And THAT is fucking metal. Full disclosure, we do not know anything

It was just last month that Sevendust announced their tour to honor the 20th anniversary of their album Animosity. But now, the band have already announced a second leg of the tour, which is a pretty ballsy move when you think about it. Hopefully that means that presales for the first leg went well. Openers

We’re not sure if you know this, but Ted Nugent is old and cranky. The guitarist and vocalist is prone to semi-coherent rants about anything from Joan of Arc (who Ted sort of remembered), Neil Young being Canadian, and of course, the good ol’ Communist Chinese. But it seems that Ted has lost his focus,

Right now, there’s a bitter feud going on between Pearl Jam and Mötley Crüe, and by ‘bitter feud’ we mean ‘aged rockers throwing haughty softball-pitch jabs at each other.’ But now, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder might have gone too far — he insulted Tommy Lee’s drum kit. What the FUCK, dude. So if you

Last winter saw Atlanta stoner-metal kings Mastodon and Swedish prog-metal savants Opeth embark on a North American co-headlining tour. And apparently, the trek was just so much damn fun that the two bands have decided to do it all again. Opeth and Mastodon’s next North American lovefest kicks off this April, though openers, if any,

Ghost and Volbeat are making up for lost time with an extensive North American tour that kicked off last month and will run through the beginning of March. Now, you could just go to your local show of choice, assuming there’s one near you, or… … you could win a trip to Las Vegas to see the band

W. Axl Rose turns sixty today. There was a time (pardon the pun) that nobody thought any original member of Guns N’ Roses would survive to see thirty, but here we are — the lead singer of the self-proclaimed “Most Dangerous Band in the World” is just five years away from scoring senior citizen discounts

Earlier this week, we reported on late Exodus frontman Paul Baloff getting his own ReAction Figure from toy company Super7. Now, it looks like Super7 has decided to create a figure of heavy metal’s ultimate fallen hero: Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. In case you just stumbled into MetalSucks like you came to Santa Fe to

Maybe it’s because of how long the pandemic’s gone on, but man, it seems like every hard rock and metal star on earth has decided to pick a fight this month. You got David Draiman and Sebastian Bach arguing, you got Corey Taylor and Machine Gun Kelly cat-fighting, you got Chris Barnes hazily taking swings

Joe Rogan’s been in the hot seat lately, what with artists getting furious and Spotify losing market value over his alleged COVID misinformation. But quietly, Spotify has also removed several episodes of Rogan’s show, including his interview with Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan, over his use of racial slurs within them. As reported by Consequence

Last we heard about questionable Swedish black metallers Watain was when their 2019 show in Singapore was canceled. But now, everyone’s favorite Scandinavian Aghori are back with a new album, and this one’s got a real goth-ass title! Watain’s new album will be called, wait for it, The Agony and Ecstasy of Watain. Why a
