Gene Simmons Sued For Sexual Assault

A radio personality is suing Gene Simmons for allegedly groping her and making sexual advances. Simmons denies this and says he will prove his innocence.

In the past, Simmons very proudly bragged about his "thousands" of sexual conquests. Interestingly, the suit stems from an alleged incident that happened on November 1 of this year... so not long ago.

The unnamed broadcaster was interviewing Simmons at the opening of his Rock and Brews restaurant in Highland, California. She says Simmons allegedly grabbed her hand and forcefully placed it on his knee. She jerked her hand away and says Simmons immediately grabbed for it again and then "struck" her in the throat. She also says he grabbed her butt while posing for a photo.

Remember, innocent until proven guilty. I guess we'll see how this plays out. You can read the whole story in the San Bernardino Sun.

Richie Sambora Will Join Bon Jovi At Rock Hall

Everything seems happy in Bon Jovi land right now. It looks like Richie Sambora will join Bon Jovi on stage for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Sambora was pretty open about wanting to reunite for the special night.

Jon Bon Jovi says he wants Alec John Such to perform with the band that night too, so I hope it happens. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, April 14, 2018, at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio.

'The Sound Of A' - Alice Cooper, New Video

Two Alice Cooper posts in one week! Watch the official video for "The Sound Of A" below. The song was written way back in 1967 and either lost or forgotten until now. It's been updated and included on Paranormal.

This definitely doesn't sound like the Alice Cooper we're all used to... it's more Pink Floyd than anything else. Very interesting.

Mark Slaughter Debuts New Song

Mark Slaughter is back with his sophomore solo album called Halfway There. The first single is the title track and Mark just released the promo video for the song, which you can see below. Mark's been working on solo songs for a long time, so it's good to see him get some of them onto an album. He's an underrated songwriter. What do you think about this one?

New Asking Alexandria Track, 'Alone In A Room'

Asking Alexandria will release their new album on December 15. The self-titled album features the song "Alone In A Room" which you can hear below. It premiered on BBC radio over the weekend. I was a little disappointed in this track because it sounds so poppy. There's no screaming... and not much metal at all, really. I'm still really looking forward to the new album, but I hope the other tracks are heavier than "Alone In A Room."
