Check and Mate

Ok this made me laugh out loud. Good one, Nikki. Thank glam it's Friday!

Literally, Just No

If anyone owns the devil horns, it's either the estate of Ronnie James Dio or The University of Texas at Austin. That said, Gene Simmons will trademark anything to make a buck.

Axl Rose Pays Tribute To His Dog

The other night in Zurich, Guns n' Roses did a cover of the AC/DC track "Whole Lotta Rosie." They've done this song before, but this time it was in tribute to Axl's dog Rosie who apparently died right before the show. Losing a pet is brutal, so I feel for him.

Ozzfest Meets Knotfest Apparently Returns

Ozzy Osbourne hinted that Ozzfest Meets Knotfest will return again this year. The joint festival first took place last September.

An official lineup announcement is set for July 10.

Last year, Black Sabbath and Slipknot both played the fest, so that's a big bill. It will be interesting to see who headlines this year. Watch this space.

Michael Monroe Releases New Album

I didn't realize it, but the "new" Michael Monroe album is out now. It's called The Best and you can listen free if you have Amazon Music Unlimited. I have that premium service, so I just added the album to my listening list! You'll get remastered versions of some great tracks. There is no one more Glam than Michael Monroe. Good stuff to start a Monday for sure.

Freedom Fest Colorado

For those in and around Littleton, Colorado, Freedom Fest will happen on June 17th (next Saturday)! The event is a glam festival that will raise cash for veteran's causes. As you can see on the poster below, a lot of bands we love are playing including Warrant, Lita Ford, FireHouse and more. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. Cheap!

New Alice Cooper Music!

Listen to the new Alice Cooper track "Paranoiac Personality" below. The song is from the upcoming album Paranormal. It will be released July 28. You can pre-order now via Amazon. Fifty years later, Alice Cooper is still one of the best names in live rock n' roll. If you have the chance to see him in concert, go. You won't regret it.
