What’s happening

Poison drummer Rikki Rockett has opened up about his harrowing fight against stage 4 oral cancer and the terrifying prospect of undergoing surgery to remove his tongue. After initial chemotherapy and radiation treatments failed in 2015, the rocker faced an unimaginable reality and began documenting his voice for his family.

"I was recording pieces of information for my kids so they could watch it, because the next step was to cut my tongue out if they had to," Rockett shared. "And I wanted them to know what I sounded like and my advice to them growing up, and I wanted them to hear it from me. I wanted them to understand what I was, what I thought I was or would become."

Rather than accepting the surgery, Rockett opted to join an immunotherapy clinical trial led by Dr. Ezra Cohen and Dr. Sandip Patel at UCSD Moores Cancer Center, a pivotal choice that changed his entire medical outcome. How much does Rikki Rockett's resilience and openness about his battle inspire you?

Sevendust almost walked away from the stage for good before a high-stakes overseas gamble completely revitalized the Atlanta quintet. Drummer Morgan Rose revealed that the group had mapped out an extensive blueprint to wind down their career with their fifteenth album One, weary of burning out domestic markets through North American touring.

The turning point came when the band took on massive financial risk to open for Alter Bridge across European arenas, conquering promoter skepticism and winning over uninitiated crowds each night. "Alter Bridge saved us by allowing us to do it," Rose said, explaining how the tour convinced the band to push harder rather than shut down. "We did 95% of our merchandise business at the end of the show. That was it. That was the proof."

Following that momentum, Sevendust will launch their first European headline tour in eight years with an extensive 16-date run scheduled for November and December 2026.

Are you planning to catch Sevendust on their upcoming international dates?

Marilyn Manson is under intense scrutiny in the UK as a London politician demands his removal from Slipknot's upcoming Wembley show scheduled for next July. The call to drop the rocker from the massive stadium event has placed the concert directly into the political and public spotlight.

Manson has never been criminally charged and firmly denies all wrongdoing. As attention mounts over the forthcoming London performance, Wembley officials confirmed that venue management is currently in talks with promoter Live Nation to address the situation.

Should politicians have a say in concert lineups, or should decisions remain strictly between the artists, promoters, and fans?

Born on October 19, 1976, in Grayslake, Illinois, Pete Loeffler established his reputation across modern rock after forming Chevelle alongside his brothers in 1995. The Chicago-area power trio exploded into mainstream prominence with their multi-platinum 2002 major-label breakthrough, Wonder What's Next, generating massive number-one rock radio singles and cementing Loeffler as an essential voice of the era.

Across nine studio albums, Loeffler has forged a distinct sonic identity powered by heavy, drop-tuned baritone guitar riffs and a vocal style that shifts seamlessly between delicate melodic restraint and ferocious, cathartic screams. Through relentless touring and continuous creative evolution on records like Sci-Fi Crimes and NIRATIAS, he remains one of alternative metal's most enduring and reliable frontmen.

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian is opening up about the absolute chaos of touring alongside Pantera during their joint run in 1997 and 1998. Describing late nights on Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul's tour bus, Ian reflected on how the legendary Abbott brothers transformed every stop into an unrelenting party.

Riding with the brothers meant marathon sessions of vintage rock videos and relentless drinking, leading to an unforgettable encounter after Ian fell ill on the bus.

"One night I ran to the bathroom and threw up. I opened the bathroom door and Darrell's standing there with a shot waiting for me. 'Dude, I just threw up.' He looks at me and goes, 'What are you talking about, Baldini? Now you just have more room.'"

Ian noted that Dimebag treated hospitality as an essential duty, bringing the same unfiltered energy to everyone around him regardless of crowd size. What is your favorite memory or track from this legendary era of heavy metal?
