Bon Jovi Live DVD and Blu-ray |
For a group born across the water in New Jersey, 'The Garden' was the always a holy grail, the marker that they had made it. 19 years to the day after the band first performed there, they returned to the same stage for the last date of their historic Lost Highway tour, officially the biggest tour on the planet in 2008.
Created by award winning Director, Anthony M. Bongiovi and shot with 23 High Definition cameras, Live From Madison Square Garden features a career spanning set list including Have A Nice Day, Always, Wanted Dead Or Alive, Livin' On A Prayer and even a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah that Cohen himself rates as his favourite version. This is a snapshot of a band 25 years into a record breaking career and still hitting their peak in the live arena.

Six Feet Under Detail Graveyard Classics 3 |
Here's what the godfather of gore and death Chris Barnes has to say about the band's latest chapter in the Graveyard Classics chain:
"We went about picking the tracks for this installment of Graveyard Classics by really just trying to search out songs from early on in our musical upbringing, as well as tracks from when we were just fans of heavy music, before we started playing in a band. Once again choosing songs that have really stuck with us over the years, also choosing the songs that we felt would sound interesting when played in the SFU 'death groove' style.

Pixies iPhone App Coming, Doolittle Tour Shows Collectors CDs Now |
The company Abbey Road Live is recording every Pixies show from the November 8 show all the way through the end of the tour in Washington, D.C. on December 1. The shows will be offered as limited edition, high quality CD sets - each CD set having two discs in it, and each CD set being individually numbered.

Pentagram and The Gates Of Slumber Team Up |
The pairing of Pentagram and The Gates Of Slumber aligns 2 generations of Doom Metal majesty and will undoubtedly be a tremendous treat for both long time loyalists and wide-eyed newcomers alike. Formed in 1971, Pentagram has a long and storied history that continues to play out almost 40 years later. Let by wildly charismatic vocalist Bobby Liebling, the band has forged an indelible mark in the "Heavy Metal Rock and Roll" pantheon and continues to influence scores of modern day acts.
The Gates Of Slumber has emerged as one of modern day metal's most critically acclaimed bands whose decidedly throwback sound both pays homage to and builds upon "Heavy Metal" in its truest form. The band has been hailed as "a breath of fresh air within the doom / true metal underground" and its latest studio album Hymns of Blood & Thunder (Rise Above) is in stores now.
