One of the last videos I remember seeing on MTV, before it turned into the "Knocked Up Teens" channel, was today's pick. It seemed to play every hour around the same time the movie Terminator 2 reached its popularity. "T2" was one of the first badass movies to be released in the 90's. A lot of that must have had to be the fact that Arnold "GET TOO THE CHOPPA" Schwarzenegger. I watched it 5-6 times in theaters. Just because the special effects 20 years ago blew my mind.
At the beginning of Saturday night's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland, the biggest story seemed to be the guests who would not attend. Axl Rose's tantrum made the most headlines, but the illness-induced absence of cancer-stricken Beastie Boy Adam Yauch also threatened to put a damper on things. By the end of the five-hour ceremony, the
Even though Axl Rose doesn't want to go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he'll still be inducted with the rest of Guns N' Roses Saturday night in Cleveland. The Rock Hall issued a statement saying, "We are sorry Axl will not be able to accept his induction in person." The only other artist to declin
I am not sure why Axl Rose is still being a s#!t. He has a good thing going with the recent comeback of GnR. Why would he take something as monumental as being inducted into the Hall Of Fame and whipe is ginger ass with it? It boggles my mind. But today, Axl sounded off on the GnR Facebook page.

How much would you pay for a download of Guns n' Roses' Greatest Hits? Apparently the bargain price of 25 cents was enough to get 85,000 people to buy the album last week. First, the new Google Play download service marked GNR's Greatest Hits down to that figure, and then Amazon matched it. The sales increase of more than 6

Drummer Chad Smith, bassist Flea and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer got together in Los Angeles recently to jam. Smith tells Billboard, "We just rehearsed and came up with some ideas and new song
You really never know what you’re going to get from Axl Rose in an interview, and it seems pretty clear that he isn’t exactly eager to discuss the possibility of reuniting the original Guns N’ Roses lineup for a performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony next year.
Sunset Strip dwellers Steel Panther have scored a plum hometown gig. The delightfully throwback-ish band will open for Guns N’ Roses at the Forum in Los Angeles tomorrow, Dec. 21. The tongue-in-cheek glam revivalists just wrapped a U.K. trek with Motley Crue and Def Leppard and will cap off a stellar 2011 with this GN’R gig.
Good news for Guns N’ Roses fans who are anxious to get their hands on a new album. From the sound of things, the band will have new music out sometime within the new year. One thing they know for sure is the turn around time won’t take quite as long as it did with their last album, ‘Chinese Democracy.’
Former Guns N’ Roses bass slinger Duff McKagan is once again on the road with his good buddies, as his band Loaded is opening for a pair of dates on GN’R’s uber-raved about tour. When first presented with the offer to play, though, McKagan admits that he wasn’t sure he wanted to join up with his Axl Rose and the current line-up of his old band.
