You Ain't Rock

I’ve never been much of a Jane’s Addiction fan. Something about Perry Farrell’s voice and the catsuits and the combination just never did anything for me.

But with the recent departure of original Jane’s bassist Eric Avery, Perry is bringing in the one and only Duff McKagan to begin working on new Jane’s material.

I’m intrigued by this addition to the band. Maybe I’ll actually care when the album drops. Maybe.

Yo Bands! Want to get in the mix? Hit me up! We’re booking Wednesday nights from now until they kick us out!

Yo! Jimmy Roc here…

Starting THIS WEDNESDAY I’ll be hosting Wednesday Knife at The Dragonfly in Hollywood, CA.

All things heavy will be played!

Annnnddd It just so happens to be the good homie Kim’s 25th Birthday!

Here is a visual of Kim. You should join us!

Make sure to mark your calendars! We’ll be doing it up nice every Wednesday Night!

This was unexpected. Alice in Chains (aka YouAintRock’s favorite grunge band, aka Trish’s favorite band EVER) have announced another string of tour dates for this spring! Holy Jerry Cantrell!!

I’m so excited I can’t even form sentences! I think this whole post is gonna be filled with exclamation points! I feel like Elaine from Seinfeld!

Doesn’t Mike Inez have the BEST smile? I fucking LOVE these guys.

Do you wanna know where they’re going? DO YA??????

A while ago, I was joking with some friends how a metal version of Kidz Bop would be absolutely ridiculous. These talented kids proved me wrong:

Even Phil Aneselmo likes it: “Unbelievable! These kids are great! DAMN… how flattering! If they keep at it (learning from the best), they’ll be getting a call from me to jam in a couple of years!”

Kick ass job done by these young musicians. The band includes Drew Lowry on vocals, John Donnell, Andrew Alten, and Erik Michelfelder on guitar, Sam Parsons slappin’ da Bass and Sam Ruschman on drums. The students from the Aaron O’Keefe music-instruction school in Ohio recorded the track last fall.

Dig the new video It Ain’t Nothin

What year is this? Alice in Chains are touring, Soundgarden is reuniting, Pearl Jam is on tour and now STP is releasing new music! All Hail the Grunge Revolution!

As a diehard grunge fan, this is awesome news. Scott Weiland is definitely one of the greatest frontmen of modern music (charisma + drugs + more drugs = awesome music), so I’m pumped to see what this new album has in store.
