Southern Californians with a taste for the ballsy, beery hard rock sounds of the seventies have already bought their tickets for AC/DC's long-awaited return to LA this coming Saturday and Monday. (We hope so, for your sake, because they’ve been sold out since around the time they went on sale.) The Forum, the site of many historic metal gigs, seems like the perfect venue for their special brand of mass gathering, and according to the reviews, the new album Black Ice is their best album since the last one that was actually pretty good. Consider us About To Rock. more ›

Harry Morton, son of famed Hard Rock hotelier Peter Morton, is no longer content with opening crudely-named margarita bars. No, the Li-Lo-lovin' entrepreneur has decided to purchase the infamous Sunset Strip club The Viper Room: with plans to franchise, of course. While the Viper Room has only been a part of the Strip since 1993, it immediately rocketed to infamy when River Phoenix collapsed and died of a heroin overdose outside the club in the fall of that same year. more ›

As I've said before, I hate contests. But in life everything is negotiable, and if a contest is so good that I can't pass up, I will pass it along to you. And this one is a good one. We have two tickets to see the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, perform in the cozy confines of the Joint at the Hard Rock in beautiful Las Vegas on November 24th with special guest Rob... more ›

I want to patch my soul on your brain Despite the ominous weather, slight drizzle and wet seats, devoted AIR fans clogged the serpentine Vermont Avenue up into Griffith Park for a show that gained the band an all around standing ovation, which in turn rewarded the audience with the usual encore. In general, the French band only played the most popular songs, leaving the edgier tunes and more experimental solos to their albums... more ›

Over the years the pool of the Hard Rock hotel in Las Vegas has established itself for being one of the funnest places to meet some of the hottest ladies in town. Next month not only will there be babes lounging, there will also be hotties on stage rocking. To celebrate their 14th(!) anniversary (didn't they just turn 21?), the Donnas will give a concert poolside of the Hard Rock, Friday May 11th. Tickets... more ›

Reports are just coming in that Playboy covergirl and TrimSpa endorser Anna Nicole Smith has died in Florida after collapsing in the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe Hotel and Casino. We are sure that there will be wall-to-wall team coverage in the coming hours, days, and weeks into the life and death of the rags to riches story of the buxom bleach blonde who married a billionaire and never had a dull moment.

A lesson to all you would-be supergroups, yearning to use national tv to help you find your new singer and sell out concerts before you even really have a band: be original, and if you can't do that, have an original name for your manufactured band. Yesterday a San Diego judge ruled that the original Supernova, the Orange County punk band whose single "Chewbacca" has appeared on the "Clerks" soundtrack, was in the right... more ›

The Pink Taco restaurant and bar at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino may fly in Las Vegas -- which many Angelenos consider a northern suburb -- but we're hearing that the name's not playing with some of the fun-loving folks of the Phoenix area. A few residents of Scottsdale, the tony suburb of Phoenix, are complaining that the name of the restaurant offends them. According to an AP story: more ›
