The Web sees no shortage of proud parents posting videos of their kids doing what they think are amazing things, but honestly, most of these kids […]
If you read the title of this article and couldn’t wait to click and read, then you know why a Scott Ian Action Figure is important. The rest of you are thinking: “Who the eff is Scott Ian?” Well, he was only the founder of ’80s metal titans Anthrax, the crunchiest guitarist on the planet, co-founder of […]
If you happen to be a music geek like myself, chances are the music you listen to tends to dictate your sense of fashion. Whether it’s classic rock and you dress in band T-shirts and jeans, punk and you align your leathers with studs and patches, or jam bands and you wear Birkenstocks and tie-dyed […]
Back in the day, metal had something to prove. It was loud, abrasive, foul and taboo. It was edgy, it was new, and it was awesome. From the ‘70s with Black Sabbath to the ‘80s with Metallica and the ‘90s with Lamb of God (and everyone in between), metal has always striven to challenge what […]

Without these vital elements to keep them preoccupied, who knows what might become of the world’s baby and toddler population. Maybe they’ll grow into pint-sized masses of frustration […]
ABC books for children are a dime a dozen. Some are boring, some are so-so, and occasionally, some will even wow you. For Metal parents, there is an ABC book out there worthy of the latter reaction. Without being overly childish (unironically speaking), “M” Is For Metal is a notable method for learning the fundamentals […]
Before Tawny Kitaen straddled those Jaguars suggestively in the video for “Here I Go Again,” Whitesnake was just a ho-hum side-project from the lead singer of a broken down 1970’s English Rock band.
