  • Danzig Allegedly Punches Photographer, Confirms Retirement from Touring

  • Elvis Gone Metal: Covers from Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Danzig and More

    Metal fans (and hopefully music fans in general) were thrilled to hear today that Glenn Danzig—frontman for his self-titled band, Samhain and of The Misfits—will be releasing an Elvis Presley covers album during 2015. It got us thinking: There are way too few Elvis covers out there played by metal bands. Discounting a band that's whole schtick is being half metal, half-Elvis (Volbeat), it's tough to find worthwhile Elvis covers in the metal world. We, for one, totally hope this changes.

    We should have learned by now that stories about Glenn Danzig don't bring in the big hits, but we just can't stop from coming back.

Here are five artists that are equally known for two different bands.

    I once had a teacher who said that if you understand classical music, you wouldn't listen to anything else. That's obviously a wild exaggeration and completely pompous, and as these seven musicians proved, it is completely possible to love both classical and rock music. Here are seven rock stars that also write classical music.

  • 6 Bands That Released Music Under Two Different Names

    In a world where the Smashing Pumpkins can tour and release music with only one original member, it's unusual to see bands change their names with only the slightest shifts in line-up or style. Here are six bands that released music under two different names.

  • 8 Pairs of Songs with the Same Title: Which is Better?

    While musicians can be sued if they plagiarize lyrics or melodies, song titles are pretty much fair game, resulting in a ton of songs with the same name. I’ve decided to stack up some of the best songs that share titles and see which is better. These might seem like arbitrary comparisons based on a coincidence, but so are “Best of the Year” lists, and those are cool.
