Bob Dylan’s legendary career had its missteps—albums that flopped, confused, or just didn’t click. From the intentionally awful Self Portrait (1970), where he released “crap” to make a point, to the label-backed cash grab Dylan (1973) with no input from the artist, fans got a raw deal. The 1980’s Saved kept his Christian themes but lacked polish, and Down in the Groove (1988) became a baffling, un...

Peter Frampton’s career exploded with Frampton Comes Alive! in 1976, but his story runs much deeper — from teenage U.K. pop stardom with The Herd to gritty rock with Humble Pie, and a solo journey that proved his guitar mastery and versatility before the live album even dropped. His early albums blended acoustic intimacy with soulful covers, setting the stage for his global fame. After the live re...

Cradle of Filth is back, dropping new music and hitting the road, as frontman Dani Filth shrugs off lineup changes as natural evolution—just like people switching jobs. But behind the scenes, legal fireworks are still blazing: former members Šmerda and Federoff, who split last August, filed a lawsuit alleging unpaid royalties and unauthorized use of their likenesses on merch.

Iron Maiden’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is getting a frosty reception from the band—especially bassist Steve Harris, who calls the honor “vulgar” and insists rock is a living thing, not a museum exhibit. With their Australian tour clashing with the Nov. 14 LA ceremony, they can’t attend anyway, and Harris says even if they could, he wouldn’t go—“not me.” Lead singer Bruce Dickinson shar...

Guitarist Paul Quinn’s stepped back, replaced by Brian Tatler from Diamond Head, leaving Biff and Paul as the only...

Bruce Dickinson just took home the “Best Live Speaker” award at The Speaker Awards in London, proving he’s not just a rock legend—he’s a powerhouse storyteller and motivator.
