Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck and Ann Wilson unleashed a potent triple bill for the last night of their Stars Align Tour in Tampa. Michelle Wilson was there to rock out with the 70s superstars.

Dead Sara (Pocket Kid / Fontana Universal). Review by Jen Cray.

By all accounts, Adelitas Way vocalist/songwriter Rick DeJesus should have become a statistic. Ink 19’s Elianne Halbersberg talks with the artist about how music – and VH1 – saved his life.

Jake Brown takes advantage of the 25th anniversary of Def Jam Records to present music fans with his appreciation of its co-founder, Rick Rubin.

William Weikart , the mastermind behind the band Obscured by Clouds , is one literate and surprising person. Tim Wardyn unveils Weikart’s impressive cast of influences (including Chris Cornell and Baroque music), how ex-girlfriends contributed to one of the best songs on their album Psycheclectic, and how his bandmate Thee Slayer Hippy got his name.

A review of Projekt Revolution 2008, presented by Linkin Park.

Chris Cornell has taken his past out on the road, playing songs from Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave and his own catalog of solo work. Jen Cray stopped by the Orlando date to sample the goods.

With five Mtv buzz-worthy bands on the bill (six if you count the unannounced special guest) and tickets going for a mere $22 a pop, it was no wonder that the 30 Seconds to Mars’“Welcome to the Universe Tour” sold out Orlando’s Hard Rock Live. Jen Cray joined the echelon.

After postponing the original show date to make history in Cuba, Audioslave finally arrive in Orlando to play an intimate venue in the midst of their arena tour. Jen Cray decides the wait was worth it.

A post-grunge double header, with Foo Fighters and Weezer. Jen Cray is awed.

What a day for Phillip Haire… Jane’s Addiction, Audioslave, Incubus, Queens of the Stone Age, Jurassic 5, The Donnas, The Distillers and others…
