Remember the time Hootie And The Blowfish performed on NBC’s Friends and Monica even wound up getting a hickey from one of the band members at a meet and greet after the concert? Of course you do. You probably also remember that the band actually didn’t play on the show and, even worse, weren’t seen […]

Replacing an original band member is never a fun experience, and there’s surely no role more difficult to fill than that of the lead singer. There have been exceptions to the rule, in the sense that the band went on to continue being successful (think Sammy Hagar in Van Halen), but there have also been […]

Being in a band ain’t easy. You’ve got many creative personalities in a massive tug of war. Oh yeah, then you have to live with each other and those decisions on the road for months on end. Lineup changes aren’t uncommon, though a vocalist switch-up has the possibility to be the most debilitating. Some bands […]

Back in 1994, Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved, a KISS tribute album, was released. The LP features numerous artists such as Anthrax, Lenny Kravitz and Garth Brooks among others. It turns out that Gene Simmons asked Nirvana to be part of the tribute album. However, all he ended up getting was a prank phone call. […]

Rock ‘n’ roll is a wild and crazy career to pursue. Some handle it well, throw up devil horns and spray their hair, even in the afterlife. Others enjoy the experience but discover that they want to pursue other things outside of touring and playing music. There’s certainly nothing wrong with this, as passion ebbs […]

Anybody who claims to be well-versed in emo culture knows how crucial Chamberlain are to the genre.

Their desire to add everything from melodic singing to acoustic guitars helped build the foundation of the post-hardcore genre. After […]

Megadeth’s Rust In Peace is probably the gnarliest guitar album in the history of heavy metal. Released in 1990, the platinum plaque was the group’s definitive statement from the golden age of thrash metal. It’s a megablast that spanned from the mid-’80s to the early ’90s, when Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax—collectively known as The […]

Side projects have the special ability to give artists the chance to express themselves in whatever manner they choose without snobby genre lords or the (sometimes self-imposed) shackles of their previous works confining their sonic decisions. Sometimes these new bands go in an intentionally more mainstream direction, while other times the word “commercial” is never […]

Living well is the best revenge. After Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne’s famed manager and wife, was rejected by alternative powerhouse festival Lollapalooza for an Ozzy band performance, she took matters into her own hands and created a metal event of her own, Ozzfest. It was truly a DIY family affair, featuring many of Ozzy’s bands […]

Sure, every musical subgenre has its own community. From Metallica to the Anthrax cover band in your hometown, they’re all in service to the metal. But there’s something really special about the scene AP has covered for close to 20 years. We didn’t hear a whole lot of smack-talking. More friendships and romances went down […]
