Chester Bennington Leaves Stone Temple Pilots

To put more focus on Linkin Park, Chester Bennington has stepped down as frontman for Stone Temple Pilots. Read below: Chester: The last few years have been an amazing experience.

Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold Reveal New Drummer

Avenged Sevenfold have tapped former Bad Religion member Brooks Wackerman as their new drummer. He parted ways with Bad Religion last week. To be honest, Brooks’ name has always been in the mix.

Weezer have release the music video for “Thank God For Girls” below. Oh my god you guys, the new single is amazing! After we played it last night, I turned to my plus one and said, with glee, “it’s no Back to the Shack!! Hands down Thank God for Girls is the far, far better song.

Norma Jean, Ex-Every Time I Die Members Form New Band

Former Every Time I Die drummer Ryan Leger has teamed with Norma Jean frontman Cory Brandan and ex-Dead And Divine guitarist Chris LeMasters to form a new band, Hundred Suns.
