Def Leppard came to realize that they were into something different. [The] New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a lot of it wasn’t very professional and a lot of it wasn’t very deep, guitarist Phil Collen told UCR recently. When producer Mutt Lange started working with Def Leppard, he pushed them hard. “How come you take so long doing these songs,” Collen recalled someone asking Lange, in the Hysteria period. “So you’ll be talking about it in 30 years,” came the reply. Now more than 40 years on, Lange has been proven correct, time and time again, when it comes to 1983’s Pyromania, his second colla...

Alex Lifeson recently discovered a brilliant new practice regimen to keep his chops up: playing Rush songs with former bandmate Geddy Lee. It’s something they hadn’t done regularly in nearly a decade, as Rush played their final show in 2015 and called it quits after the death of drummer Neil Peart in January 2020. But lately, the guitarist has been getting a kick out of casually revisiting the band’s catalog with Lee. “We decided that we would play some Rush songs. Because, you know, we haven’t played these songs in 10 years,” Lifeson tells UCR. “We started that a couple of weeks ago. We get t...

On Feb. 10, 2023, In Flames released their 14th studio album, Foregone. It was met with critical acclaim from fans and critics alike — in fact, Loudwire named it one of the best albums of the year. One thing that Loudwire noted — as well as many others — was that Foregone was largely a “return to form” for longtime In Flames fans. On Friday’s Loudwire Nights (May 3), host Chuck Armstrong asked In Flames frontman Anders Fridén about fans’ reception to Foregone. “I hear this here and there,” Fridén admitted about people saying Foregone is a return for In Flames, “but I’ve stopped reading what pe...

On Thursday’s Loudwire Nights (May 2), host Chuck Armstrong shared an exclusive conversation with Motley Crue‘s John 5 and Tommy Lee and Kevin Vargas, who runs El Paso’s rock radio station — and member of the Loudwire Nights family — 95.5 KLAQ.

Deep Purple’sMachine Head was plagued with problems from the beginning. “It’s a project that almost got destroyed before it even got started,” bassist Roger Glover says in a very matter-of-fact manner during an interview with UCR. Frank Zappa was playing a casino gig in Montreux, Switzerland when a fan in the audience fired a flare gun at the ceiling, setting the venue on fire. The casino burned to the ground. Here’s the problem: Deep Purple had booked that same room to record their sixth studio album — and in an instant, they found themselves in need of a new plan. By the time they settled in...

In 2019, Jackson Roemers and Fabian Angel got together to pursue their dreams of starting a rock band and formed StrateJacket. Unfortunately, they had no idea what was ahead for them and the rest of the world. “We played maybe four shows before the pandemic hit,” Roemers told Chuck Armstrong Tuesday’s Loudwire Nights (April 30). “We felt stumped at the beginning, which really lowered morale quite a bit.” Fortunately, rather than letting the pandemic crush their dreams, Roemers and Angel persevered, first by finding a new drummer, Nate Mangle, and then by committing to practice nonstop until th...
