Nikki Sixx said he was all in favor of Motley Crue continuing as avatars once the real-life band members are gone. The bassist argued that, as long as certain values were assured, it represented an opportunity to keep their music alive for decades to come. “I love technology,” Sixx told Swedish radio station Rockklassiker in a recent interview. “I think [it’s good] as long as it’s coming from an artist that says, ‘I have something I wanna do and this technology is gonna help.’” READ MORE: The Top 30 Hair Metal Albums He added: “At some point, we’re not gonna be here anymore.… not to be a Debbi...

Neither Noel Gallagher nor his brother Liam are known for mincing their words. Older brother Noel’s most recent target is the same festival Oasis played twice in their career: Glastonbury. “Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love Glastonbury,” he recently told The Sun. “I think it’s one of the most important things. In fact it’s probably the best fucking thing about Britain apart from the Premier League.” Oasis famously headlined the festival in 1994 to tens of thousands of people, the same year they released their debut album Definitely Maybe. “There are literally hundreds of festivals in the worl...

Not long ago, Journey seemed to be on the brink of a split. Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain argued over control of the band, over a visit to the White House, and over money. Yet, somehow, Journey has soldiered on. Freedom became their first studio album in more than a decade, and they’re returned to the band’s typically rigorous road schedule: A 23-date stadium tour with Def Leppard and Steve Miller kicks off on Saturday in St. Louis. How’d they stitch things back together? “We just decided that the music is the music,” Schon tells Los Angeles-based music journalist Lyndsey Parker. “We worked rea...

Steve-O has become one of the most well known stunt performers, but you might be surprised by his income from the first season of the hit series Jackass. During a recent appearance on the X5 podcast, the stunt artist revealed exactly how much he made, as well as how he was paid per stunt rather than per episode. Given that Steve-O quickly became a fan favorite on the MTV series, you might think that he rose to the top of pack when it came to pay for his stunts on the show, but as he reveals, he wasn’t exactly collecting a windfall.

Bon Jovi‘s new album Forever certainly didn’t live up to its name on the charts and sets an unwanted record for the group. As noted by Forbes, after debuting at No. 5 in its first week of release, the album fell all the way out of the Billboard 200 album sales chart the following week. Unless it returns in the future, Forever will be the first Bon Jovi studio album to only last one week in the Top 200. The band’s previous album, 2020’s pandemic-delayed 2020, only notched two weeks on the chart. It debuted at No. 19, then fell 126 spots the following week before departing for good. With their t...

Tankian has been vocal about popular musicians playing countries with questionable human rights histories being viewed as a way to “whitewash” and normalize the countries’ actions. In particular, he’s spoken out about Imagine Dragons, who agreed to play a show in Azerbaijan, initially writing them a letter explaining the reasons why playing there would ...

Following his own comments and ones made by Sepultura‘s Andreas Kisser, Max Cavalera has clarified those remarks in a new interview with Metal Injection. Last month (June) both Cavalera and Kisser appeared to warm up to the idea of some sort of reunion, perhaps all getting together onstage again at the final show of Sepultura’s farewell tour. For nearly 30 years, this has been one of the most desired reunions in all of metal. And while sentiments were cozier than ever before, Cavalera convincingly puts this idea back on ice when talking to Metal Injection. “The more the time passes by, the mor...
