C101 HITMAN ROCK REPORT

The WWE's Becky Lynch has managed to cross Kelly Osbourne, and  Kelly put the wrestler on blast for it . While appearing on "WWE Raw," which aired live from Birmingham, England Monday night,  Lynch and her upcoming opponent Nikki Bella were trash talking each other, when Lynch took things too far, in Osbourne's eyes. 

Tico Torres is  categorically denying he's thinking about stepping away  from the the drum kit. The Bon Jovi drummer posted a video to the band's Instagram yesterday, addressing rumors that he's retiring from music.

Aaron Lewis isn't very happy with Bruce Springsteen. Start with the fact that they are pretty far apart politically, the Staind singer claims that  The Boss duped most of America (himself included)  with one of his biggest hits. 

Mastodon paid tribute to their late co-founder Brent Hinds during their first show since his death at the Alaska State Fair. 

Rob Halford singing...Tony Bennett?  It's more likely than you think . 

In a new interview, Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis says a new version of the song by the band exists, featuring vocals from both Rob Halford and Ozzy Osbourne himself.

Former Mastodon guitarist and singer Brent Hinds was killed Wednesday night in Atlanta, when an SUV failed to yield and crashed into his Harley.  He was 51.

Metallica has issued eight live albums over the years, but Lars Ulrich doesn't name one of them when he talks about his favorite live hard rock album. 

We told you  that David Lee Roth took a few good-natured jabs at Sammy Hagar mid-performance last week, with a story that built off Sammy's tale of being visited by Eddie Van Halen's ghost.

After Sharon Osbourne  shot down sky-high estimates  for how much Black Sabbath's "Back To The Beginning" concert brought in for charity, we now have revised numbers.

Not only was the "Back To The Beginning" event a memorable curtain call for  Black Sabbath ; it was also  the highest-grossing charity concert ever .

The group  Cold  is hitting the road this fall for a new stripped-back tour called “Beneath The Low Hum: A Special Evening Of Songs Reimagined.”

During  a recent appearance  on  The Strombo Show ,  Tom Morello  called  Kneecap  “the  Rage Against the Machine  of now” before defending their controversial political nature. This has led to  Disturbed  vocalist  David Draiman  blasting Morello over his support for the provocative Irish rap outfit.

Soundgarden  have issued a statement that both serves as a nod of tribute and respect to  Ozzy Osbourne  and  Black Sabbath  and also provides an explanation for their absence at the  Back to the Beginning  concert.

When faced with potential danger, sometimes death metal is your only (and best) option for escape as it was for this vocalist who screamed  Kittie lyrics at a stalker.

Metallica are famously selective (and litigious) when it comes to how their music is used in outside contexts.

Bassist  Nikki Sixx has now addressed their absence from "Back to The Beginning" in answering a fan question on the X social media platform.

Now that  Ozzy Osbourne 's on-stage life has concluded, it's time to tell what will surely be an insane tale.  Ozzy announced yesterday  that a memoir, "Last Rites," is in the works.

Original  Pearl Jam  drummer  Dave Krusen  has shared whether he'd rejoin the band following the news of their split with  Matt Cameron .

Although he covered an  Ozzy Osbourne  hit, there's a  Black Sabbath  deep cut that  Ghost  frontman  Tobias Forge  initially wanted to sing at the band's farewell concert over the weekend.

Matt Cameron  has split with  Pearl Jam  after 27 years. The drummer and the band each issued statements on the matter on social media.

In the last few weeks, we'd learned there was a biopic about the legendary career of  Scorpions  in production. Now, we get to see what the film will look like.  A new trailer for the film "Wind of Change" just dropped . 

Alice in Chains  are back at full strength as drummer  Sean Kinney  took his place behind the kit with the band after having to bow out of touring earlier this year over a medical emergency.

It's over for the original lineup of  Black Sabbath , as far as live performances. The iconic metal band  played their final show together  Saturday in what was a celebration of their storied career, and a who's who of rock showed up to help them mark the occasion.

It may seem hard to believe now, but one of the biggest festivals in the history of heavy metal —  Ozzfest  — started with a simple insult.
