New Pop Evil Video for "Trenches"

Sandman — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:00:09 +0000

I can say that I have had the pleasure of having Pop Evil in the studio numerous times since they first started touring in 2008. In fact, I met them when I was doing the grand opening remote of the Guitar Center in Evansville, and Pop Evil was playing cover songs under a tent in the parking lot

Dressing Up; It's Not Just For Kids Anymore

Traci Hines was just a girl that had a dream that most little girls have: she wanted to be a disney princess. But, unlike most little girls, Traci's dream became a reality and she is now one of the most sought after entertainers in the United States. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that she looks EXACTLY like a certain red headed sea princess...

Black Veil Brides "In The End" Video

Sandman — Wed, 08 May 2013 21:00:29 +0000

Black Veil Brides out of Hollywood have been around for a few years now, but success at radio has eluded them despite having an amazingly huge throng of dedicated fans. Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life [...]

Kat Thinks the New Rob Zombie Track Sounds Like An Old Doors Track [VIDEOS]

kat — Sat, 04 May 2013 22:00:12 +0000

Is Rob Zombie’s “Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown” some kind of homage to The Doors or did Zombie rip off Jim Morrison? Take a listen! First, let me start by saying that I have been a Rob Zombie fan forever, but I have been a Jim Morrison fan for much longer. [...]

My Interview With Slash! (Audio)

Sandman — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:00:44 +0000

Last week I had a career highlight opportunity come my way. The chance to interview Slash. Not only is he a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but also ranked by several guitar magazines to be one of the top 50 guitarists of all time. This interview, in an edited form will [...]

Jon Bon Jovi's Son, Jesse Bongiovi, May Walk on to Notre Dame's Football Team

Joe Student — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:30:30 +0000

In a development that's sure to launch a million bad 'Livin' On A Prayer' puns from members of the sports media, Jesse Bongiovi, the son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi, intends to walk on to the footba

Study Finds Black Sabbath Helps Plants Grow

Mike Adams — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:10:37 +0000

If you intend to show the wicked world a cornucopia of green thumb power this gardening season (and you probably don’t, but keep reading) you had better start exposing your precious sweet leaf to plenty of Black Sabbath. Television gardener (yes, that’s a thing) Chris Beardshaw says that during a recent study of the effects [...]

Spitting Bleach With Chronicles of Submission Vocalist Don Corn [Interview]

Mike Adams — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:32:13 +0000

There is no denying that the world of heavy music has made some significant changes over the past twenty years, most of which have been detrimental to the “sell your soul” philosophies of our downtuned forefathers, while the legends that remain keepers of the roundtable have their hearts eaten out everyday by the same rotten industry that they undoubtedly created.

Halestorm Playing Jay-Z? Yep, Check Out Their Version of 'Empire State of Mind' [Video]

Bobby G. — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:51:32 +0000

I think I've made it very well known by now that Lizzy Hale can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. I have dug and continue to dig everything that she and Halestorm have done...so I was curiously excited to find a video of them covering Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind."

Lyrics to the Masters' Theme Song are Beyond Terrible

Joe Student — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:20:55 +0000

With its winner receiving a gaudy green jacket that wouldn’t be out of place at a retirement home, the Masters is hardly a beacon of contemporary taste. Golf’s most revered championship takes place this weekend in Augusta, Ga. If you watch it, you’ll undoubtedly hear the majestic Masters’ theme song in the video above. Yes, [...]

Here's Your Chance to Hear the Self-Titled Debut Album from Device in its Entirety [Audio]

Bobby G. — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:34:39 +0000

As you should know by now, Device is the new project from Disturbed frontman David Draiman. The band’s self-titled debut album won’t be in stores until Tuesday, April 9th…but they were cool enough to share the whole damn thing with us, so we could share it with you. Draiman has one of the most unique [...]

Alice In Chains Debuts "AIC:23″ On Funny Or Die

T-Rav — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:38:34 +0000

Featuring members of Metallica, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and others, the fake documentary takes a look at the journey one man has [...]

Stuff From the 90′s – Like Some of the Best Music Eva! [Videos]

Bobby G. — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:00:25 +0000

It’s no secret that I am a fan of pretty much all things 90′s. Considering the fact that I was born in 1975, the 1990′s pretty much covered the most important, formative time of my life…high school and college. So you’ll understand why I’m so amped to do the 90′s at Nine every weekday morning! [...]

Watch This Acoustic Shred of Slayer's 'Season in the Abyss'

Mike Adams — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:00:44 +0000

There was a time not so long ago when people claimed that the art of shred was dead. However, while all of the indie-pop enthusiasts were going unplugged, and posing as limp-wrist martyrs for a dying alternative, guitar virtuosos like Sam Westphalen were keeping the badass alive by selling their souls to the devil. What did they get in exchange? They learned how to make Slayer tunes sound cool on the acoustic guitar.

New Sevendust Video for "Decay"

Sandman — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:22:43 +0000

Sevendust, a band out of the Atlanta area are the frontrunners of the rock formula of very rough style vocals on the verse parts of the song, which later explode into a melodious chorus. It's my belief that they have influenced many bands in rock since Sevendust first hit the scene in 1994, while releasing the debut album in 1997

Check Out This Great Live Version of Shinedown and 'I'll Follow You' [Video]

Bobby G. — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:47:13 +0000

I have always thought that the true test of a band, singer, performer, whatever is how well he/she does live. Anyone can go in a studio and have a producer make you sound good. But can they do it when it counts? SHINEDOWN answers that question with a big fat EFF YEAH! Shinedown has always [...]

Here Come The Mummies Are Coming to the Victory Theatre – Win FRONT ROW Seats!

Bobby G. — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:08:27 +0000

I think it's safe to say that Here Come The Mummies is one of the most unique acts to come to the Victory Theatre in quite some time. You have the chance to experience them for yourself as 103GBF presents HCTM (that's easier than typing their full name) and their 2013 Cryptic Tour on April 19th, and we're giving away some of the best seats in the house!

Sandman's DVD Review: Dave Grohl's "Sound City"

Sandman — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:18:43 +0000

Dave Grohl is a man of many talents. Drummer for Nirvana, the band that almost single handedly destroyed 80′s era poser hair bands Warrant, Poison and others. These days Dave’s main gig has been as front man for his band Foo Fighters. But Dave has also made of helluva Rock Doc called “Sound City”, about [...]
