AC/DC
Live Review: AC/DC - The Izod Center, New Jersey
Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:12:20
You're never too young to drop your shorts and moon a packed house of adoring fans! AC/DC guitarist Angus Young has been pulling that trick for decades, flashing his lily white bum to screaming crowds who love every minute of it! At the Izod Center, which was packed from the floor's front row all the way up to the nosebleeds with AC/DC-a-holics, ...more

Deerhoof
Live Review: Deerhoof - The Echoplex - Los Angeles, CA
Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:03:44
In a musical society over saturated with acts in even the most specific genre niches, sonic individuality has become a scarce commodity. These days a vast majority of bands can be boiled down to a simple equation: X band's attitude + Y band's melodies = new band Z—often with a plus or minus "electro-sounding" peppered in for good measure. ...more

Usher
Live Review: Usher - Club Nokia, Los Angeles
Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:55:41
Ne-Yo may have proclaimed 2008 the Year of the Gentleman, but Usher's been playing "gentle" for the better part of the last decade. Out of the young guns, he's still the best at it too. That's what he proved at Club Nokia during the Los Angeles stop of his Ladies Only tour. Hip hop-laden R&B is all the rage right now, however, while Ne-Yo and Kanye ...more

Marnie Stern
Photo Recap: Marnie Stern - The El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles, CA
Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:16:44
Virtuosic axe slinger Marnie Stern let her fingers do the walking on stage at the El Rey in Los Angeles over the weekend. Backed by fellow guitarist Mark Shippy and Parts and Labor skinsman Jim Sykes, who beat out rhythms in multiple time signatures like an octopus, she tapped up and down her guitar while belting through numbers from her new album, ...more

Mötley Crüe
Live Review: Mötley Crüe - The Palladium, Hollywood
Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:11:42
Los Angeles will never be the same as it was in the '80s—especially Hollywood. It's become so touristy and gentrified that the danger inherent in the city has all but disappeared completely. It's as if Rudy Giuliani came in and cleaned it up with a vengeance, like he did The Big Apple. Hollywood Blvd, a street that was once unequivocally owned by ...more

Madonna
Photo Recap: Madonna - Dodger Stadium - Los Angeles, CA
Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:38:34
The Material Girl's affair with the baseball world continued on November 7th when Madonna brought her Sticky & Sweet Tour to Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium. Undaunted by her recent 50th birthday, the Queen of Pop delivered a vibrant show that married her veteran's know-how with her insatiably youthful spirit. As she offered the sweets with a set full ...more

Lupe Fiasco
Live Review: Lupe Fiasco – Club Nokia, Los Angeles
Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:50:58
According to Lupe Fiasco, hip hop saves lives. During his sold out show at downtown L.A.'s newly opened Club Nokia, it was hard to refute that claim. The venue was packed to the brim with fans of all ages, and everyone was clamoring to see the "Superstar" do what he does best. Among the gaggle of intelligent, forward-thinking MC's on the scene ...more

Mudvayne
Live Review: Mudvayne - The Wiltern, Los Angeles
Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:44:09
A Mudvayne show doesn't feel like a concert. Rather, it's the musical equivalent of A Clockwork Orange. It's a metallic bludgeoning of the purist catharsis and most calculated method. It's really, as Alex DeLarge would say, "Another night of the old ultra violence." However, for a heavy metal fan, there's absolutely nothing better than ...more

Chris Cornell
Photo Recap: Chris Cornell - House of Blues - Los Angeles, CA
Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:11:21
After a long career of gritty alt rock, Chris Cornell threw fans a curveball by teaming up with Midas touch producer Timbaland for his latest album, Scream. The odd couple hit Hollywood's House of Blues on October 25th to unveil the sonic plot twist before it hits store shelves. We were there—cameras in hand—to see the rocker's big ...more

Danzig
Live Review: Danzig - Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:25:52
The devil never goes out of style. 20 years since he unleashed his now legendary solo debut, Danzig remains as evil as he's ever been. Los Angeles can't get enough of him either. Walk down Hollywood Boulevard any hour of any day, and you're guaranteed to see a contingent of kids donning either Misfits or Danzig shirts. Beyond that, he's got legions ...more
