• 'SOA' Finale: 6 Best Musical Moments by Forest Rangers, Curtis Stigers, Paul Brady [LISTEN]

    "Music Times" had the chance to speak with Bob Thiele Jr., music supervisor of FX's "Sons of Anarchy," a few weeks ago about his journey in music in television so far. He created another character on the hit show, which was the episode-ending montages that were often some of contemporary music's most-beloved songs. Well, that never scared Thiele, The Forest Rangers or vocal guests like Curtis Stigers and Paul Brady away. They reworked the tunes to complement scenes of graphic violence and inner turmoil. The question is, what is in store for tonight's finale? Here is a look back at some of the finer musical moments from the show:

  • Charlie Hunnam Thinks Playing Christian Grey Would've Been Disastrous

    When Charlie Hunnam's name was first attached to the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," there was an instantaneous reaction by women everywhere. Those not too familiar with Hunnam's work seemed to think he did not exactly look like their mental image of Christian Grey, and those who already liked the "Sons of Anarchy" star thought his rough-and-tumble style might be a perfect fit. Hunnam pulled out of the film adaptation pretty quickly and, of course, rumors took over. Did he not have chemistry with Dakota Johnson, the woman who needs to play a convincing Anastasia Steele, or were the scripts garbage? Hunnam insisted it really was bad timing, an excuse many were not ready to accept because surely he already had his schedule when he first agreed to the role, right? Well, Hunnam is covering the December 2014 issue of "Men's Health" — to perfection — and in the accompanying interview he explains the real story about backing out of Fifty Shades of Grey.

  • Bob Thiele Jr.'s Journey from the Record Biz to 'Sons of Anarchy', Music Supervisor Talks Family, Songwriting and Montages [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

    There has always been an emphasis on family at the center of FX's gritty biker drama, 'Sons of Anarchy'. Whether it be through protagonist Jax Teller's constant troubles with parental figures both alive and deceased, or the sense of brotherhood that's created by riding down a windy stretch of California highway mere feet from your clubmate's motorcycle, the bonds and relationships in the show run deep.

  • Marilyn Manson Shares Details for Upcoming 'The Pale Emperor' Album [TRACKLIST]

    Shock rocker Marilyn Manson announced that his upcoming album will be titled The Pale Emperor and will hit retailers Jan. 20. The album will be the "Coma White" singer's first collection of new material since 2012's "Born Villain." Manson and Co. shared the album's insanely dark lead single, "Third Day of a Seven Day Binge," which will be one of 10 tracks on the record — see below — last month. According to "Rolling Stone," the iTunes version of the album will come with three additional tracks: "Day 3," "Fated, Faithful, Fatal" and "Fall of the House of Death." Fans can preorder the standard edition on Manson's website or the deluxe edition on iTunes now.

  • The Forest Rangers Cover Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' for 'Sons of Anarchy'

    For one of the most ambitious covers yet, music supervisor Bob Thiele Jr. had to rework Queen's 1975 classic "Bohemian Rhapsody." Not exactly the easiest of tasks. However, as per usual for the show, Thiele turned to The Forest Rangers, the band responsible for turning "Gimme Shelter" and "John the Revelator" into perfect matches for the biker drama.
