We don’t do "rumors"; we do industrial-strength data reclamation for the real fans who refuse to consume the sterilized slop served by the corporate machine.

  • Opening the Vault: 4 Records of Eddie’s Ghost!
  • The Spackle: Why Steve Lukather Isn’t Playing a Single Note.
  • "No Young Punks": Alex Van Halen’s Brutal Rule for Singers.

STEPHEN PEARCY TEASES NEW MUSIC WITH SNIPPET OF SONG “DRIVE” FROM HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM DUE OUT LATER THIS YEAR

STEPHEN PEARCY—the voice of RATT—has teased his upcoming sixth solo album by rolling out a snippet of the song “Drive.” The track was written by PEARCY and features one of the album’s many special guests on lead guitar—someone whose name will soon be revealed. PEARCY and early RATT bassist (circa 81’) Matt Thorne co-produced the album, which will be released on PEARCY’s own Top Fuel Records (exact release date is TBA).

PEARCY will take a break from recording to perform on February 26 at the Yaamava’ Theater in Highland, CA with guitarist extraordinaire Warren DeMartini—his longtime bandmate in RATT and current touring partner under the Pearcy/DeMartini moniker. This is one of the shows on “The Undercover Tour,” a mix of solo dates and ones with Pearcy/DeMartini.

PEARCY—the vocal powerhouse, prolific songwriter, seasoned entrepreneur, and indefatigable force of nature recently sat down for a Q&A answering a wide range of questions in a voice that’s uniquely his.

Was the St. Patrick’s Day Meteor a Secret Weapons Test Over Ohio?
 

The sky over Northeastern Ohio turned into a literal war zone on St. Patrick’s Day, and the "experts" want you to believe it was just a harmless coincidence. Seth and Chris tear through the official narrative of the meteor that rocked the region. Was this a cosmic fluke, or did we just dodge a bullet that the government doesn't want to talk about? If you think you're getting the full story from the local news, you’re already lost.

  • The Ohio Boom: Why thousands of residents felt the earth shake before they saw the light.

  • NASA vs. Reality: Comparing the official "rock" theory against eyewitness accounts of the blast.

Tracii Guns continues his streak of being the most "delicate" man in hair metal by allegedly canceling a Florida gig because it was—wait for it—too hot. We dive deep into the absolute disaster that is the L.A. Guns touring schedule and why these "rock stars" have become softer than a marshmallow in a microwave. Plus, we're dissecting Bill Burr’s latest Netflix special to find out where the actual jokes went.

Controversy: The TRUTH Behind WASP's 1984 To Headless Tour

placeholder

Blackie Lawless has been one of the most polarizing figures in metal for decades, but what he reveals here about WASP’s long-term absence from American stages will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the touring industry. While other bands from the 80s are phoning it in with backing tracks and diminished ranges, Blackie explains the "flamethrower" in his throat and why he refuses to follow the "flavor of the month" trends. If you want the raw truth about the evolution from shock rock to cerebral artistry, you aren't going to find it on a corporate press release.

- The Promoter Lie: Why WASP stayed away so long.
- The Marvin Gaye Connection: Learning to write from truth.
- "Flamethrower in my throat": Addressing the vocal range controversy.
- The VIP Museum: Why Blackie hated traditional meet-and-greets.
- Censorship in 2026: Why you must think for yourself.
