System of a Down Unveil First Tour Dates of 2013

Chad Childers — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:04:57 +0000

System of a Down fans have been patient in recent years, with the group spending a lot of time on hiatus pursuing other musical avenues. Though the band has reunited for a series of shows over the past two years, there has been no talk about future albums or dates … until now. System have revealed their first two performances of 2013, set to take place in August.

Gwen Stefani Joins Bush During Performance of 'Glycerine' – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 22:21:39 +0000

People often ask why music power couple Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani don’t perform together. The following video is the answer to that question. Gwen Stefani has a unique voice and is no stranger to unorthodox collaborations — her duet with the late Bradley Nowell on ‘Saw Red’ comes to mind. Where that track succeeds, [...]

Enter Faceplant: Woman Falls On Her Face During Metallica Cover

Joe Student — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:40:46 +0000

Head-banging to Metallica is a time-honored tradition, but it’s usually not this literal. Normally, if you are not sober when banging your head to heavy metal music, you should have a crowd of other head-bangers to prevent you from falling — or, at least have a nice soft mattress in your vicinity. The woman in [...]

Axl Rose Does Faceplant On Stage – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:26:39 +0000

We're beginning to think that we should change the "Rock Fail" category to the "Axl Rose Award" after the reviled Guns N' Roses vocalist bit it yet again on the band's current tour. Check out video footage of the hilarious spill here!

Drunk Rock on the Ranger Pees in Front of Crowd – Rock Fail [PHOTO]

Tree Riddle — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:27:18 +0000

We had lots of laughs at this year’s Rock on the Range, perhaps none louder than when this random dude decided to urinate in front of hundreds of people near the sno-cone truck. Rock and Roll and hard boozing, more often than not, go hand in hand. There was plenty of good drunk people-watching to [...]

Stage Dive Fail

Fantone — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:04:29 +0000

I’ve seen some crazy stage dives in my day, and I’ve seen some awful stage dives. This one definitely is one of the latter. Watch this dude act like a douche and then get dropped by the crowd. It’s pretty obvious that dude is trashed on something, or maybe he’s just an idiot, because there [...]

Metalhead Gets Correct Answers Marked Wrong On Exam – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:18:07 +0000

It’s not easy being a metal head — just ask whoever took this test that asked for the name of “Four Heavy Metals and Their Symbols.” The metal-loving student gave the most correct answers possible and all four answers were marked incorrect. Sorry teach, but that’s gonna get you a ‘Rock Fail.’ Everyone knows there [...]

My Chemical Romance Perform On 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:55:15 +0000

Several bands have appeared on the creepy Nickelodeon children’s show ‘Yo Gabba Gabba!’ The latest rockers to water down their act for the preschool crowd are My Chemical Romance — watch as they perform the song ‘Every Snowflake’s Different (Just Like You).’ Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, and The Shins are just a [...]

Guy Pukes During Sweep Picking Guitar Lesson – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:51:09 +0000

Finally, we have a regular Joe who managed to score a Rock Fail. Check out this dude’s failed attempt to share his knowledge of the tricky sweep picking technique that ends like so many internet videos do, with shame (and vomit). The internet is a cool place for guitarists. You can get tabs to find [...]

The Muppets Cover Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:52:07 +0000

The trouble with writing a definitive rock anthem is that you have to listen to hundreds of talentless mouth-breathers drag it through the mud. Everyone from Miley Cyrus to Paul Anka have ruined the Nirvana classic 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' at least the latest offenders have the decency to hide behind puppets.

Courtney Love Rips Billy Corgan, Dave Grohl, And Foo Fighters – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:41:17 +0000

Courtney Love's Hole (the band) took the stage in Brazil over the weekend and the notoriously opinionated vocalist launched into a tirade against Dave Grohl after a fan held up a picture of Kurt Cobain...yeah we didn't get it either. Oh yeah, she also inspired all of The Smashing Pumpkins' best music.

See Lou Reed & Metallica Perform On Jools Holland – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:41:59 +0000

Metallica have tied their ship to the anchor that is Lou Reed, watch as he drags down the kings of hard rock on their 'Lulu' track 'Iced Honey' and a cover from Lou's Velvet Underground days during their appearance on 'Later...with Jools Holland.'

Axl Rose Falls Off Stage At GN'R Gig In Mexico City – Rock Fail

Tree Riddle — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:14:07 +0000

It’s unfortunate that Guns N’ Roses have accrued two consecutive rock fails, but Tuesday night in Mexico city singer Axl Rose tumbled off-stage during a performance of ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’. Axl now has something in common with Scott Weiland other than having been in a band with Slash, Duff Mckagan, and Matt Sorum — [...]

GN'R Guitarist Screws Up Solo Due To Wardrobe Malfunction – Rock Fail [VIDEO]

Tree Riddle — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:07:25 +0000

Watch Guns and Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal botch the guitar solo to ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ after his storm trooper helmet gets in the way during their gig at Rock in Rio. Guns and Roses have always been a band with a grandiose approach to their stage show. They employ pyro, video screens, have [...]
