Do you miss the old days when MTV used to play music, and when Guns n' Roses was good... like really good? So good you would come home from school and call 1-800-DIAL-MTV to vote for one of their epic videos? Well, next month the band will try to recreate that era right here in New York. Guns n' Roses has just announced that they'll be playing some intimate shows around town during Fashion Week, followed by a little northeast tour, which includes a revisit of their MTV concert, "Live at the Ritz" (though, no word on if they'll be recreating this song-by-song or if we'll be getting a little bit of Chinese Democracy stuff, too). more ›

We may have lost R.E.M. yesterday, but when God closes a door, He opens a window. And in this case, that window is Axl Rose's promise that Guns n' Roses will be touring the U.S. next year. We take what we can get. The band has spent the past two years touring outside of the States, so hopefully Axl's voice is nice and warmed up. more ›

Fashion Week is upon us, which obviously means Axl Rose is in town. What? It's true, last night we were invited to one of these fancy parties which was taking place at the John Varvatos store on Bowery, but the invite didn't really mention free drinks or anything that was going to make us trudge through the slushy streets... so we didn't go. And then this morning we received an email stating there was "an exclusive surprise performance by rock legend Axl Rose, and Guns N’ Roses" at the party! Yeah, that burned a little. Sure, it was a new backing band, but Axl was there... and so was Kevin Bacon—because that is what happens during Fashion Week! more ›

While there are plenty of Emo-tinged pop punk bands that speckle the top 40 landscape today, few come across as complete and credible as Paramore. Celebrating their latest record going Platinum this week, these kids from Nashville headlined Summerstage Thursday night to an enthusiastic crowd of youngins. Their unrelenting energy is only topped by the genuine singing ability of pint-sized frontgrrrl Hayley Williams, whose voice powers through song after song as she tirelessly does laps around the stage. While their current tour, with Phantom Planet and others, is soon coming to a close, the final blast of hype before heading back to the studio will come from when they perform at the VMAs a week from Sunday. more ›
