Faith No More
Live Review: Faith No More - The Palladium, Hollywood
Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:33:05
"We will not exist after tonight," said Faith No More frontman Mike Patton as he addressed The Hollywood Palladium during the band's final show in the United States. It's fitting that Patton prefaced "Helpless" with that statement, as it's one of Faith No More's most delicately dark numbers. "Helpless," from 1997's masterful Album of the Year, ...more

Michael Bublé Live at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, PA Wednesday, November 24, 2010 Swoon.

Live Review: A Perfect Circle Perform "Mer De Noms" — Avalon, Hollywood
Tue, 09 Nov 2010 08:56:51
A Perfect Circle built a veritable sonic mythos with their 2000 debut, Mer de Noms. There's a certain classic rock mysticism surrounding the album's title itself, which is French for "Sea of Names." However, the best way to interpret it is emotionally. These songs are living and breathing entities, and that was instantly clear from A Perfect ...more

Aaron Lewis
Live Review: Aaron Lewis of Staind at The Sycuan Casino in El Cajon
Mon, 08 Nov 2010 06:35:22
Staind frontman Aaron Lewis doesn't need much to put on an unforgettable show. With a stool, a few acoustic guitars, a couple smokes and a bottle of water, Aaron can take the audience on a ride that rivals any large scale production out there. Less is more in the case of Aaron's acoustic shows, but it's mainly because his original songs feel so ...more
