A single song. A cover. A flaming […]

So you sat down with a cold one to watch Happy Gilmore 2, and boom — in pops Slim Shady himself. But wait a sec… why on earth couldn’t Eminem close his mouth properly? Did he lose a bet with Sandler? Was it botched CGI? Or did someone superglue his dentures in? Let’s riff it […]

Well, butt, you never know what’s going to happen at a Limp Bizkit gig – but nobody expected this!

20. Bring Your Daughter… To The Slaughter (1990) The only Maiden track to actually hit UK No.1. Bonkers title, campy as hell, but somehow it slaps like a dragon’s tail. 🐉 19. The Clansman (1998) From the Blaze Bayley era, but fans STILL chant “FREEDOM!!!” at gigs like it’s Braveheart on steroids. Epic and underrated. […]

Well, c’mon now… this is one way to ruin a perfectly good Monday night, mun. Fans had their snacks lined up, cans chilled, and tissues ready (because we all knew it’d be emotional) — but just hours before broadcast, the BBC yanked Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home right out of the schedule. Instead of our Prince […]

Because one riff is never enough, and neither is one label. 🎤 What’s Occurring, Metalheads? Ask ten metal fans how many types of metal there are, and you’ll get twenty answers… plus an argument that ends in a dodgy circle pit in the car park. 😂 Metalheads love subgenres more than they love patch jackets, […]

We’ve all got that band.The one that’s made us blow our wages faster than a Download bar queue. The one that makes you say, “I’ll just see them one more time” … and then it’s 37 gigs later, you’re on first-name terms with the merch guy, and the local venue security treat you like part […]

Some rock ‘n’ roll facts just make you stop mid-pint and go, “Hang on… what??”Well butt, here’s one for you — both Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy Kilmister passed away exactly 17 days after their final live performances. 🤯 Yeah, you read that right.
