A 75-year-old Journey fan in Cleveland, Ohio was reportedly scammed out of $122,000 by an online imposter posing as Steve Perry. According to WKYC, in January the woman responded to a Facebook message from someone claiming to be the band’s former lead singer. According to Westlake police, “The fake Mr. Perry had a business opportunity and of course ‘needed a woman in his life.'” According to the police report, over the next several months the woman sent the Perry imposter $72,000 in wire transfers to “various persons in various different states, designated by ‘Perry,’ through her bank” as well...

Bon Jovi‘s new album Forever certainly didn’t live up to its name on the charts. As noted by Forbes, after debuting at No. 5 in its first week of release, the album fell all the way out of the Billboard 200 album sales chart the following week. Unless it returns in the future, Forever will be the first Bon Jovi studio album to only last one week in the Top 200. The band’s previous album, 2020’s pandemic-delayed 2020, only notched two weeks on the chart. It debuted at No. 19, then fell 126 spots the following week before departing for good. With their touring future in doubt due to singer Jon B...

Neither Noel Gallagher nor his brother Liam are known for mincing their words. Older brother Noel’s most recent target is the same festival Oasis played twice in their career: Glastonbury. “Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love Glastonbury,” he recently told The Sun. “I think it’s one of the most important things. In fact it’s probably the best fucking thing about Britain apart from the Premier League.” Oasis famously headlined the festival in 1994 to tens of thousands of people, the same year they released their debut album Definitely Maybe. “There are literally hundreds of festivals in the worl...

Paul Stanley admits that his first guitar fell short of his dreams, to the extent that he ignored it for months. The future Kiss star was initially inspired by Eddie Cochran, whose work he preferred to that of Elvis Presley. “There was something about him that was rogue and seemed ruthless – a great attitude,” Stanley tells Gibson TV, citing Cochran’s songs “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody.” “So that was really the start of my introduction to guitar, although I grew up in a family with a lot of folk music – bluegrass and opera and classical music and all.” READ MORE: Kiss Albums Ranked ...

Asia played its first proper concert since 2019 on Wednesday evening (July 3) in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The performance launched the band’s summer tour and unveiled a new lineup who quickly revealed they were well-equipped for the task. The British group’s eponymous 1982 debut, now over 40 years removed from its original release, figured heavily in the night’s set list with seven of its nine tracks getting feature time. It’s hardly surprising seeing as the album went to No. 1 on Billboard’s album charts, driven by the success of three major singles. Songs like the now-signature “Heat of the ...

Nikki Sixx said he was all in favor of Motley Crue continuing as avatars once the real-life band members are gone. The bassist argued that, as long as certain values were assured, it represented an opportunity to keep their music alive for decades to come. “I love technology,” Sixx told Swedish radio station Rockklassiker in a recent interview. “I think [it’s good] as long as it’s coming from an artist that says, ‘I have something I wanna do and this technology is gonna help.’” READ MORE: Underrated Motley Crue: The Most Overlooked Song From Each Album He added: “At some point, we’re not gonna...

Not long ago, Journey seemed to be on the brink of a split. Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain argued over control of the band, over a visit to the White House, and over money. Yet, somehow, Journey has soldiered on. Freedom became their first studio album in more than a decade, and they’re returned to the band’s typically rigorous road schedule: A 23-date stadium tour with Def Leppard and Steve Miller kicks off on Saturday in St. Louis. How’d they stitch things back together? “We just decided that the music is the music,” Schon tells Los Angeles-based music journalist Lyndsey Parker. “We worked rea...
