Metal is about technical and musical abilities, about guitars as heavy as possible, about throwing your fist in the air or banging it on the table. But let's not forget one thing: metal is also very Theatrical. And who gives you a better show than your typical "from-a-cabin-somewhere-in-the-woods-of-Norway" black metal band? And who else will give journalists such atactical socially uneasy

According to Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, singer of The Hives, songs are supposed to be as short as possible. The shorter, the better. Well, I guess that's why I gave my only Hives album away in exchange for just a cup of coffee. I say: "The longer, the better!"For this months poll, I'd like the visitor to choose from my favourite long songs. A special about the winning band will be published after

He used to walk on the sides of his feet, and I don't know if that was a natural tendency or if he did that because his shoes were worn out."Also:"He also was very shy because he had big curly hair, and sometimes he needed a haircut.

PerspectiveAlthough Jim Morrison deceased thirteen years before I was born, I really like The Doors. Reading a book about the whole band is not an option. It’s all about the lead singer, one of the many that became a legend after death.Opening words“He’s been dead for decades, but he’s still causing trouble.” “How many dead rock stars have an annual riot at their tomb?” Verdict (***) Davis tries

PerspectiveI first read Lords of Chaos when I was just getting into the black metal genre. Back then, I thought the Norwegian black metal scene was the end-all and be-all of black metal, so it comes as no surprise that I practically devoured the book and finished it in two or three days. While I was already to far in my mental development to consider the church burnings and killings as ‘cool’,

"At one point during the recording session Jim was very emotionally moved, and he was wondering, and he was tearful...and shouted in the studio: DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND ME?"

Eric Clapton releases his autobiography next week! This legendary guitar player and singer has a impressive resumé as English blues pioneer - the Yardbirds, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Cream and Blind Faith. The fact that Clapton is not keen on being interviewed increases the interest in het coming autobiography. Rated #53 in the Immortals Top 100 by Rolling Stone, Clapton is a true legend.

Personally I am very curious about the upcoming autobiography by Slash. After all - the guy hired someone just to keep him from doing anything stupid when he's drunk. That's pretty weird. The subtitle promises something: "It's excessive, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen." Slash: the autobiography will be in stores in two weeks.

PerspectiveLemmy is Rock and Roll. He will probably die onstage. The bigger audience has also heard of him, but because Motorhead has never been as big as for instance Guns ’n Roses or Metallica many people do know Lemmy from hearsay rather than from his music.
