Wow. Even weeks later, the Life of Agony reunion show has me virtually speechless. Back for the first time in over five years, the Brooklyn, New York natives returned to the stage in front of a frantic sold-out crowd in New York's Irving Plaza. The original lineup of LOA, Keith Caputo, Joey Z, Alan Robert …
Headbanging is back! No more blanks stares. No more mindless moshing. Backwards hat-wearing frat boys, please keep to your kegs. Spooky kids, stick to your basement wannabe-tombs. Generation Y, go enjoy your extreme games. Its time for the real metal fans to return, as there is real metal to be heard. Don't get the wrong …
With the losses of Lynn Strait (Snot) and Dave Williams (Drowning Pool) there remains few frontmen in metal that have what it takes to be great. What they had was personality and passion, and could not only connect with the crowd, but also be part of it. TapRoot's Stephen Richards is one of the (unfortunately) …
I should know better than to judge things immediately. First time I heard of Flaw, I immediately thought, 'yeah, I bet the only Flaw is that these guys have no talent.' It is a good thing that I've been taught to look a bit deeper, and to take that look despite first impressions. Seeing Flaw …
Hollywood, Ca — It was mindblowing. Last night, I witnessed something so intimate and so revealing, so absolutely powerful and chilling and ultimately devastating that it is nearly impossible to express the way I am feeling in this afterglow. I've never seen someone open himself up so unabashedly. It was just Jimmy and his guitar. …
I am a workoholic. When I can, I work seven days a week. What can I say, it's nice to have money. A while back I had heard about Taproot coming to the city so I begged my boss to let me out early to go. Of course, I had pretty much forgotten about it …
This was a show that I was looking forward to seeing. There were a lot of reasons. I wanted to see a good clean all American heavy show. I wanted to see Shadows Fall and Kittie. I wanted to see how the new Killswitch Engage vocalist, The Howard Jones, compared to Jesse. When I arrived …
A line of excited sophisticates and hopeful fans snaked down the length of the sidewalk and bordered Doug Westin's Troubadour last night before filling the club to the brim. It was a sold out show, perhaps even oversold, but friends and fans of 30 Seconds To Mars didn't seem to mind the packed house. They …
Chula Vista, California – I have been an avid Warped Tour goer for the past several years now, and I think this years was probably the best line up I've seen in a while. And on top of that, this year I got to attend in Chula Vista where the weather is always nice, and …
Two stages + 21 bands over 13 and a half hours + Three different climates = One wet, exhausted UnEarthed.com staff member I love Ozzfest. This year marked the fifth trip I've made to Ozzy's annual festival tour in Holmdel, NJ, and the fifth uniquely good time that I had. One year was special because …
