• Why You Have To Pay So Much for Good Seats

  On March 11, the Wall Street Journal ran an article titled "Concert Tickets Get Set Aside, Marked Up by Artists, Managers" written by Ethan Smith. In it, Smith explains the practice of large promoters, Ticketmaster, and artists teaming up to take the best seats at concerts and then not selling them through regular outlets at face value, but instead selling the tickets through the "secondary market" while pretending to be fan-sold tickets at greatly higher prices (this is otherwise known as scalp

  Kelly WilsonBobby Scott and G-String give love a bad name rockin' out to a Bon Jovi track. Metalhead must be pissed. There's another hair metal cover band in town and they have G-String, the group's old guitarist who was the most charismatic member of the group. First, let me say I love Metalhead. I've spent many Sunday nights rocking out to their shows. Sadly, though, the new guitarist doesn't hold a candle to G-String. Sure he has the look, but the charisma isn't there. I'm sorry if you're re

  ​If this week's U2 stadium show didn't slake your thirst for overblown artists from yesteryear, the coming weeks and months will undoubtedly satisfy your cravings for throwback acts: KISS is on their way to the Valley, as well as The Misfits, Y&T, MC Hammer, Cameo, and Brian Setzer. You can scribble in Bon Jovi on said list as the Jersey fivesome are coming to Glendale early next year on their upcoming world tour.

• Concert Review: Brand New Cover Songs From All Four Albums And Keep It Simple On Stage

  ​It's not often that a band garners encore-like chants from their fans before a show unless it's an arena band such as Bon Jovi or U2. However, this was the scene at Mesa Ampitheatre Thursday 10 minutes before Brand New greeted the fairly packed house. The Long Island punk act took the stage at 8:30 p.m. and played for a little over an hour covering a total of 16 tracks from a span of four albums (2001's Your Favorite Weapon, 2003's Deja Entendu, 2006's The Devil and God Are Rag

• Just Announced: Bon Jovi, Shooter Jennings, Pete Yorn

  It's hard to tell how much mileage Pete Yorn sure is getting out of his collaboration with actress Scarlett Johansson. On one hand, touring in support of Break Up, the New Jersey singer-songwriter is charging $37 for tickets to a show at The Marquee, which seems pretty steep -- not that we didn't recently see a $60 Marquee ticket. On the other hand, Yorn has always charged a bundle for tickets.Obviously, touring with the actress would take things to a new level for Yorn, but out on his own it's
