We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

So I guess Sublime With Rome will now be called....With Rome?
In an interview with L.A. radio station KROQ, original Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh who laid down the beats for Sublime 2.0 announced that he was leaving the band to become a dad again. You can watch Gaugh's announcement in the video down below. As to who will be stepping in to drum for the band, that would be none other than Nine Inch Nails/A Perfect Circle/Weezer/Devo drummer Josh Freese.

Question: What does one Bay Area band give another Bay Area band for their 30th anniversary? If you're Green Day, you cover the Misfits.
Up top, you can check out Billie Joe Armstrong and the crew cover "Hybrid Moments" as a present for Metallica and then launch into a rendition of "Happy Birthday."

Meanwhile, Metallica has… Read More

Well now that Live From The Basement will be released digitally on iTunes on December 19th and in early 2012 on DVD and Blu-Ray. The performance features the band playing all eight tracks from… Read More

On today's episode of the Rock it Out! Blog, my brother, DJ JoJoe, and I review the new Korn album, The Path Of Totality, from Roadrunner Records. The album is a mix of metal and dubstep music and incorporates electronic artists like Skrillex, Datsik, Downlink, Noisia and more.
The album, to me, doesn't work. Primarily because Korn is a band that, only last year, released an album that they promoted as getting back to their roots. Now they've released an album that, while some tracks stand out, falls… Read More

They've done it again. For the third time this week, a previously unreleased track from Metallica has hit the internet for all of us to check out.

Streaming now over at the band's official Tumblr page is their cover of Bryan Ferry's… Read More
