Brent Smith was sitting in a slow-moving line of ATVs and golf carts at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in September when he saw them start to assemble. Thousands of fans — a growing sea of humanity — were slowly recognizing the lead singer of Shinedown as he, members of Papa Roach, and viral country singer Oliver Anthony all motored into a nearby field in search of a stage.

A clip of an elderly fan headbanging in the front row at a Shinedown concert has gone viral after being uploaded to TikTok by the band’s photographer.
Lauri Norris is the star of clip. Clearly a super fan, she’s wearing a shirt emblazoned with Shinedown album covers and was right up against the barricade for this particular show. It was here that photog Sanjay Parikh turned his attention from the band to the crowd, capturing an ecstatic moment from Norris.
As the band plays through their 2008 hit “Sound of Madness,” Norris is grooving right along, headbanging in time while she holds the barrier for support. She also knows all the words, shouting along to frontman Brent Smith’s lyrics.
The clip has now surpassed 6 million views on TikTok just one week after being posted, and over a million on Instagram, sending “Sound of Madness” — already a platinum single — back up to No.

Spiritbox have released the raging new song “Cellar Door” from their upcoming EP, The Fear of Fear, due out on Nov. 3 via Rise Records/Pale Chord.
Musically, the song is one of the heaviest Spiritbox tracks to date, with crushing guitars and thick sonics. Visually, the accompanying video is very Halloween-appropriate, with singer Courtney Laplante and company performing under a full moon.
The Fear of Fear follows the band’s acclaimed 2021 debut album, Eternal Blue, which established Spiritbox as one of metal’s rising acts. The EP also includes the previously released singles “The Void” and “Jaded.”
The Canadian act has spent much of this year on the road, touring in Europe and North America, including their first-ever US headlining tour, which was sold out. The band is currently wrapping up a tour with Shinedown and Papa Roach, with tickets to the remaining shows available here.

Oliver Anthony, Papa Roach, and Shinedown unexpectedly linked up for a fully acoustic show — and a joint cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” — after the Blue Ridge Rock Festival was upended by severe weather.
Blue Ridge Rock was supposed to take place this weekend (Thursday, Sept. 7 through Sunday, Sept. 10), but a deluge of rain, lightning, hail, and strong winds led to the cancellation of most of the festival. After the final two days were officially called off, Papa Roach, Shinedown, and Anthony decided to break out the acoustic guitars...

As we reported earlier on Sunday (September 10th), this weekend’s Blue Ridge Rock Festival at the Virginia International Raceway was plagued by severe weather, causing most of the four-day event to be canceled. However, at least one bright moment occurred, when viral sensation Oliver Anthony joined Papa Roach and Shinedown to perform an impromptu acoustic set in the parking lot on Saturday (September 9th) for fans who missed out on seeing their favorite bands.
Blue Ridge Rock Festival was set to be one of the biggest hard rock and metal festivals ever in the United States, with dozens of bands scheduled to play each day. Thursday’s lineup was cut short due to storms, while Friday went on as planned. However, most of Saturday and all of Sunday were outright canceled with organizers citing more severe weather in the forecast, although there are reports that stage hands walked off...

Virginia’s Blue Ridge Rock Festival — featuring headliners like Slipknot, Megadeth, Pantera and more — canceled the majority of its festivities this weekend after severe weather invaded the area.
The issues started Thursday, the sold-out fest’s opening night, when a lightning storm, heavy rain and hail and strong winds swept into the area, forcing the immediate evacuation of the Virginia International Raceway; however, evacuations were slow, Loudwire reported, with many fans getting stuck in the weather while awaiting buses to take them to shelter.

The massive 2023 Blue Ridge Rock Festival was set to take place over four days from Thursday (September 7th) through Sunday (September 10th) at the Virginia International Raceway, but due to severe weather and unsafe conditions, most of the event was canceled.
A sudden storm hit on Thursday afternoon as Coheed and Cambria had just begun their set, forcing the fest to shut down for the day and preventing the biggest bands and headliners from performing. Fans missed out on sets from Five Finger Death Punch, Staind, Evanescence, Rise Against, and more.
Friday’s bill went on as planned, with Slipknot and Danzig headlining, although Rammstein singer Till Lindemann canceled his set due to illness.
However, things took a turn for the worse early on Saturday, when anticipated weather once again shut down the festival, with organizers determining that Sunday needed to be canceled as well. That meant that bands like Pantera,...

Earlier this year, Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin mentioned during a podcast that frontman Sully Erna once dated Lady Gaga. In a new interview, the rock singer confirmed he did have a brief relationship with the pop superstar, saying he “shared some great moments with her.”
Larkin’s revelation was a surprise to many, as Erna’s relationship with Gaga had not really been publicized. “I don’t think Sully would bum out if people knew he dated Lady Gaga,” Larkin said during his appearance on the 2020’d podcast. “I mean, she’s hot, and she’s mega talented.”
In a new interview with Revolver, Erna was asked about the Godsmack song “Under Your Scars,” which apparently was inspired by Erna’s relationship with Gaga, as well as Larkin’s recent comments.
“Listen, I really don’t have a lot to say on this topic,” responded Erna. “What I will tell...

Singer Adam Gontier joined his former band Three Days Grace onstage in Huntsville, Alabama, on Wednesday night (April 19) to rock two songs from their 2006 album, One-x.
It’s been 10 years since Gontier parted ways with Three Days Grace. He went on to front the rock band Saint Asonia, and more recently started a brand-new project called Diviidedby. Three Days Grace have continued on with bassist Brad Walst’s brother Matt taking over lead vocals for the past decade, churning out several more hits on rock radio along the away.
At the Huntsville gig, Gontier surprised fans by entering the stage for the final two songs of Three Days Grace’s set, after being introduced by the band’s aforementioned current singer, Matt Walst. The two singers shared vocal duties on “Riot” and “Never Too Late.”

Led Zeppelin remains one of classic rock’s essential bands more than 40 years after they broke up. They borrowed heavily from blues legends early on — Jimmy Page blamed Robert Plant for the lawsuits — but the group soon carved their own space in the music landscape. We can’t get enough of the band, and if you’re a Led Zeppelin fan like us, you might want to check out these YouTube channels that help us appreciate the band’s songs even more.

Thunderstorms have wreaked havoc on Daytona Beach, Florida’s Welcome to Rockville Festival this weekend as both Friday and Saturday night’s headlining slots were canceled due to the inclement weather.
Both Korn’s Friday night show — as well as sets by Skillet and Breaking Benjamin — and Guns N’ Roses’ headlining set Saturday were called off for precautionary reasons as storm warnings hit the area, forcing the festivalgoers at the Daytona International Speedway to evacuate. Other artists like Jerry Cantrell and Shinedown played abbreviated sets before the evacuation order was mandated.

Tuesday was a big day for breakout singer/songwriter Christina Perri. Not only was her long-awaited debut album Lovestrong finally released, but the song that made her an instant success, "Jar of Hearts," was featured on the latest episode of "Glee."
Of course, it's not the first time Perri's tune about letting go of a toxic relationship has been featured prominently on a television show. In fact, almost a year before Lea Michele gave "Jar of Hearts" a go during the prom-themed episode of "Glee" (named, appropriately enough, "Prom Queen"), Perri made a name for herself thanks to the reality competition series "So You Think You Can Dance."
