BAD DEALS Another hard-boiled gem: This is another great Paul Rubin story — hard-boiled and fact-based.

Korn has been full of announcements during the past year. The veteran rockers added a fresh new chapter to their catalog with a 10th album, The Path of Totality, which found the band shifting its style onto a path a lot of people didn't see coming. Another "single rockstar" bit...
Editor's Note: An abridged version of this article appears in this week's issue, featuring 100 Songs that Defined Arizona.

Holiday shows suck. At least the kind your mom is going to drag you to. You know the drill: some over-rated, over-the-hill songstress belting out every cliché Christmas song she can think of, including "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." God, that song is just the...

Talk about tying things together. We recently blogged about former-Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch dropping a new single and about Alice Cooper's twisted maze in Hollywood.

Catching the band at the Marquee will be an entirely different beast than getting sloppy at the Birds Nest at the Phoenix Open, where the band has played during the past two tournaments, but the Marquee show should definitely be sufficient for all of the local hippie chicks and jam...
"Not alone for gold and silver / Is Arizona great / But with graves of heroes sleeping / All the land is consecrate!" — "Arizona March Song" The goal of finding Arizona's 100 greatest songs was hardly easy. We asked our readers to tell us what songs have defined Arizona...
Music is one of those creative things that only hippies do, or at least that's the stereotype. But seriously, what kind of self-respecting conservative would devote themselves to being a (guf-ah!) professional musician?

That's why this year, Halloween Horror Nights 2011 at Universal Studios Hollywood will veer from its traditional...
One of our most notable local musicians is the king of shock rock, Alice Cooper. We may know him as a radio DJ, celebrity golfer, and restaurateur, but the folks behind This Is The Coop reach way back to bring readers weird and wild pics of "The Coop." More on...
As we barrel toward the impending Arizona Centennial, we find ourselves contemplating a lot of things. Why would someone settle in this hot-as-bejeebus desert?

Last week we wrote about Alice Cooper's new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, set to be released on September 13. While the promise of a new "Coopster" (that's what fans call him) record no doubt excited classic rock fans, we did lack one element in our blog post that could...
You've got to wonder when Alice Cooper even finds time to play celebrity golf tournaments. Not only is he busy inspiring attractions at Universal Studios, feeding Adam Richman Big Units at Cooperstown, and hosting a popular radio show on KSLX 100.7 FM, but Cooper's prepping release of a new record,...
In recent years, horror flicks and metal have enjoyed a loving relationship. Metalheads love horror, and the feeling is mutual. (Where did we put that copy of The Blair Witch 2 soundtrack?) Obviously many metal musicians truly enjoy sci-fi, monster and horror films (with guys like Rob Zombie, The Misfits,...
