rock in rio

Believe it or not, but Slayer had never actually played a Rock in Rio festival gig until last night (Sept. 22). On the same bill as Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold, Slayer pummeled the Brazilian crowd with some pure American thrash, and here you can watch footage from the band's Rock in Rio 2013 set.

Metallica may not be releasing new music until 2014, but that doesn't mean you won't still hear them next year. In fact, the band has just announced a headlining appearance at the 2013 Rock in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Joining Metallica as headliners are fellow metal mavens Iron Maiden and classic rockers Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band.

Monday afternoon, we announced that Guns N Roses was coming to the Times Union Center on Thanksgiving Eve, November 23rd at 7:30pm.  Many questions started coming in to the Q103 studios such as "Is this a reunion show or is it just Axl?" "Will they be on time and actually show up?".  I'm sorry to say it is NOT a reunion show, so what can you expect?

Axl Rose and whoever he is playing with these days have been confirmed to play the massive rock festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Red Hot Chili Peppers are in the studio right now working on a new album, the follow-up to their 2006 double album, Stadium Arcadium.
