SUMMARY:Jackyl at Arizona Bike Week 2025 at WestWorld of Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:A raunchy\, fun-loving\, and hard-hitting rock band led by chainsaw-wielding frontman Jesse James Dupree\, Georgia’s Jackyl emerged in the early 1990s with a sound rooted in Southern hard rock and no-frills heavy metal. The group’s eponymous 1992 debut album was certified platinum on the strength of the rock radio hits “Down on Me\,” “When Will It Rain\,” and “The Lumberjack\,” the latter of which featured Dupree‘s infamous chainsaw solo. Jackyl’s mainstream success eventually waned\, but through heavy touring and the releases of well-received efforts like Best in Show (2012)\, Rowyco (2016)\, and 30 Coming In Hot (2022)\, they have maintained a dedicated following that few other bands from the era can claim. \nJackyl was founded in Kennesaw\, Georgia in 1991 by vocalist Jesse James Dupree\, guitarist Jeff Worley\, drummer Chris Worley\, bassist Tom Bettini\, and guitarist Jimmy Stiff. A shared fondness for AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd led the five-piece to start crafting their own blend of hard rock and Southern boogie around their native state. Record executives got hip to their live show\, which included chain saws\, among other things\, and soon the band signed to Geffen. Jackyl’s 1992 self-titled debut quickly found favor with hard rock audiences through the singles “When Will It Rain\,” “I Stand Alone\,” and “Down on Me.” However\, the most attention was drawn by “The Lumberjack\,” an ode to burly chainsaw-wielders that witnessed a power tool solo by Dupree. His chainsaw abilities became their recognized gimmick\, and the like-minded Ted Nugent took the band on the road. Jackyl’s sophomore long-player\, Push Comes to Shove\, appeared in 1994 and peaked at number 46 on the Billboard 200. Recorded in Vancouver with Juno Award-winning producer Bruce Fairbairn\, the album’s title track charted both at home and in the U.K. After playing Woodstock ’94 and touring with ZZ Top and Aerosmith\, the band parted ways with Geffen and moved to Mayhem\, marking the occasion with a live album before leaving the label only a year later for a jump to Sony. Arriving in 1997\, Cut the Crap got some traction on rock radio — the single “Locked and Loaded” featured guest vocals from AC/DC‘s Brian Johnson — but was ultimately overshadowed by popular alternative rock acts. Sony dropped Jackyl\, so they signed to Shimmering Tone and released the ancillary B-sides collection\, Stayin’ Alive. \nDupree issued a solo album\, Foot Fetish\, ahead of the release of the band’s fifth full-length effort. Arriving in 2002\, Relentless featured a new lineup — Bettini and Stiff departed\, and former Brother Cane guitarist Roman Glick was brought into the fold — and saw the group working once again with Brian Johnson. An eight-year hiatus preceded the release of 2010’s When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide\, which was released on Dupree‘s own Mighty Loud Records and featured a cover of Janis Joplin‘s “Mercedes Benz” and a lyrically retooled cover of “Just Like a Negro\,” originally by the funk rock band Mother’s Finest. The band issued Best in Show two years later\, which included the mainstream rock-charting single “Favorite Sin.” The reliably rude and rowdy Rowyco appeared in 2016\, and in 2022\, the band celebrated its 30th anniversary with the aptly named 30 Coming In Hot. ~ James Christopher Monger\, Rovi

SUMMARY:Stone Temple Pilots at Arizona Bike Week 2025 at WestWorld of Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Stone Temple Pilots embark upon a new sonic adventure with Perdida\, the band’s first-ever acoustic album. It includes 10 deeply personal songs that weave introspective lyrics together with unexpected instruments to take listeners on an emotional and musical journey through letting go and starting over. \nBassist Robert DeLeo says Perdida (Spanish for ‘loss’) shows how music has helped them process grief\, search for meaning and\, ultimately\, create something beautiful from the pain. “When I’ve gone through things in my life\, I’ve found that sitting down and having an honest conversation with my guitar is the best therapy.” \n“Recording an acoustic album like Perdida is something the band has wanted to do for many years\,” says drummer Eric Kretz. “When Robert and Dean started playing their new songs for us during our tour last year\, we knew right away they would be perfect for an acoustic album.” \nWriting lyrics for Perdida meant exposing himself like never before\, says singer Jeff Gutt\, who joined the band in 2017. “It’s an emotionally honest album and I needed to approach it that way for these songs to resonate.” \nTo record Perdida\, the quartet assembled at Kretz’s Bomb Shelter Studios in February. The key to making the album\, Dean explains\, was finding a way to say more with less. “Everything you hear serves a purpose\, from the space in the arrangements to the different instruments. We only added things that served the songs.”

SUMMARY:Mudvayne at Arizona Bike Week 2025 at WestWorld of Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Heavy metal quartet Mudvayne formed in Peoria\, IL\, in 1996\, its members adopting the unusual pseudonyms sPaG (M. McDonough) (drums)\, Gurrg (G. Tribbett) (guitar)\, and Kud (Chad Gray) (vocals). The group’s original bassist was replaced after two years by Ryknow (Ryan Martinie). During their development\, the bandmembers began the practice of applying bizarre makeup. After self-releasing their first album\, Kill\, I Oughta\, they were signed by Epic Records and recorded their major-label debut\, L.D. 50\, which was released in August 2000 shortly after the end of their first national tour opening for Slipknot. The album later went gold and earned Mudvayne the first-ever MTV2 Video Award at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. Mudvayne continued touring and reissued their self-released debut EP\, Kill\, I Oughta\, in November 2001 as The Beginning of All Things to End. A year later the band returned with its official follow-up\, The End of All Things to Come\, which was recorded at Minneapolis’ Pachyderm Studios with Tool producer David Bottrill. With a new album came new personas\, this time as space aliens. The bandmembers changed their names accordingly\, taking the new monikers of Chüd (Kud)\, Güüg (Gurrg)\, R-üD (Ryknow)\, and Spüg (sPaG). They embarked on a European tour\, arriving back stateside in July to join the Summer Sanitarium shed tour\, featuring such heavyweights as Metallica and Linkin Park. In 2005\, the band released Lost and Found\, their third album for Epic. In September 2007\, Mudvayne announced they would allow fans to vote on the band’s website to determine the track selection for the compilation By the People\, for the People\, released the following month. The all new full-length New Game arrived in November 2008\, followed six months later by an eponymous 2009 effort. ~ William Ruhlmann\, Rovi

SUMMARY:Marilyn Manson at Arizona Bike Week 2025 at WestWorld of Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Marilyn Manson is a perpetually controversial presence and one of the key figures in aggressive\, boundary-challenging rock music. Manson became a mainstream antihero in the 1990s — much to the chagrin of conservative politicians\, religious leaders\, and concerned parents — ruffling feathers and shocking the masses with his dark brand of glam-influenced industrial metal\, outspoken social commentary\, and incendiary live shows. The self-proclaimed “Antichrist Superstar\,” he peddled a disquieting vision of society that focused on sex\, drugs\, violence\, politics\, and organized religion\, which pushed many of his singles — including “The Dope Show\,” “The Beautiful People\,” and a cover of Eurythmics‘ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” — into the upper reaches of the modern rock charts during the late ’90s and early 2000s. During his band’s commercial peak\, the conceptual triptych of Antichrist Superstar\, Mechanical Animals\, and Holy Wood won him a legion of die-hard fans while also attracting media attention and cultural notoriety. Following 2003’s The Golden Age of Grotesque\, Manson entered his next era with a trio of releases that marked a downturn in mainstream popularity and sales. However\, at the turn of the following decade\, he staged a late-era comeback with a string of critically acclaimed albums: The Pale Emperor (2015)\, Heaven Upside Down (2017)\, and We Are Chaos (2020). After a series of abuse allegations came to light and he was dropped by his label and longtime manager\, Manson remained out of the public eye until 2024\, when he returned with his 12th album\, One Assassination Under God: Chapter 1. \nBorn Brian Warner\, Manson was raised in Canton\, Ohio. At the age of 18\, he relocated to Tampa Bay\, Florida\, where he worked as a music journalist. In 1989\, he became friends with guitarist and fellow outsider Scott Mitchell Putesky; the two soon decided to form a band\, with Putesky rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson. With the addition of bassist Gidget Gein and keyboardist Madonna Wayne Gacy\, the group — originally dubbed Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids — began self-releasing cassettes and playing gigs\, their gothic stage shows notable for Manson’s elaborate makeup and homemade special effects. Jettisoning their drum machine in favor of Sara Lee Lucas\, the band’s sound began taking on a harder edge\, and by 1992 they were among the most popular and notorious acts in the South Florida underground. \nIn 1993\, Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor came calling\, offering both a contract with his Nothing Records label as well as the chance to open for NIN the following spring; Manson accepted both offers\, and the group’s debut LP\, Portrait of an American Family\, appeared during the summer of 1994. With new bassist Twiggy Ramirez replacing Gein\, the band’s notoriety soared. Most infamously\, during an appearance in Salt Lake City\, Manson ripped apart a copy of the Book of Mormon while on-stage. The Church of Satan’s founder\, Anton LaVey\, also bestowed upon him the title of “Reverend\,” further stoking conservatives’ fears. Manson’s cult following continued to swell\, and the band broke into the mainstream with the release of 1995’s Smells Like Children EP\, propelled by their enduring hit cover of Eurythmics‘ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Berkowitz quit a short time later and was replaced by guitarist Zim Zum\, and the revised group saw their next LP\, 1996’s conceptual opus Antichrist Superstar\, debut at the number three spot on the pop album charts and sell nearly two million copies in the U.S. alone. Produced by Trent Reznor\, the multi-platinum Antichrist Superstar became the band’s most influential and defining statement. As Manson’s popularity grew\, so did the furor surrounding him. His concerts were regularly picketed by civic groups\, and his music was the subject of widespread attacks from right-wing and religious fronts. \nManson continued to court controversy in 1998 with the glam-inspired Mechanical Animals\, which included cover art depicting the singer as a naked androgynous alien. The album became the band’s first to top the charts and spawned the singles “The Dope Show” and “I Don’t Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me).” While the resulting tour yielded a live album\, Last Tour on Earth\, the trek was cut short in early 1999 after the band was erroneously blamed for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. Out of respect for the public\, the group retreated from the spotlight and returned to the studio.

SUMMARY:Machine Head + In Flames + Lacuna Coil at The Van Buren
DESCRIPTION:Very few bands make it to their 11th album. Even fewer do so with the same fire and fury that defined their early years. But Machine Head isn’t just any band. For over three decades\, the personification of determination\, Founder/Vocalist/Guitarist Robb Flynn\, has led Machine Head on an uncompromising path – one fueled by defiance\, reinvention\, and a relentless pursuit of evolution. Now\, with ‘UNATØNED’ (out April 25\, 2025 on Nuclear Blast)\, they’ve once again sharpened their sound into its most direct and impactful form to date. \nDetermined to challenge himself\, Flynn set strict songwriting parameters for ‘UNATØNED\,’ shorter\, more focused songs with a decidedly American feel\, unconventional key changes\, and shifting structures that break expectations. That self-imposed restraint resulted in a lean\, unrelenting album that captures Machine Head at their most potent. \nThe album drips with melancholy melodies\, and yet hammers with bludgeoning riffs\, soars with anthemic sing-a-longs of love-lost and sadness\, to bellowing power and undeniable confidence. \n‘UNATØNED’ is Machine Head proving once again that longevity in metal isn’t about comfort – it’s about taking risks\, standing firm in conviction\, and refusing to stagnate. Eleven albums deep\, they remain as fierce\, relevant\, and unstoppable as ever. \n \n \nIn Flames represent the best of metal’s past\, present\, and future. In Flames are as vital and even more energized today than when they unleashed classics like Come Clarity and Clayman in decades past. \nThe band built a stunning reputation with devastating\, crowd-moving\, inspired performances around the world at every major rock and metal festival imaginable\, headlining multiple treks\, and touring with the likes of Slipknot\, Megadeth\, Judas Priest\, Killswitch Engage\, Within Temptation\, and Lamb Of God. They regularly headline some of the biggest stages and festivals in the world. \nForegone\, the furious fourteenth studio album\, combines the greatest aggressive\, metallic\, and melodic strengths of their landmark records with the seasoned songwriting of their postmodern era. \nA sense of pride\, accomplishment\, and continued vitality are evident every time the band takes the stage\, and all over Foregone. Melodic death metal pioneers and innovative purveyors of groove\, the artistry\, influence\, stature\, and future of In Flames loom as large as the heavy metal horizon itself. \n \n \nIf you know Lacuna Coil then you’ll already be aware that every album entry in their storied career is more than just a sound. Each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and a place. With Sleepless Empire\, that place is dark\, cinematic\, and unmistakably true to the unique characteristics that have given Lacuna Coil such a celebrated entry in the annals of heavy music. As founding songwriter-in-chief Marco Coti Zelati\, aka Maki explains\, while the writing process for Lacuna Coil’s tenth studio record began in December\, the record’s real creative birth coincided with the release of 2022’s Comalies XX\, a 20th-anniversary reimagining of their landmark 2002 record\, Comalies. It was more than an epic and rapturously received reinvention of that 21st century classic. It would serve to align the past\, the present\, and the future of Lacuna Coil as they take their first steps into the fourth decade of their remarkable career. And from the colossal refrains of album opener The Siege to the wickedly catchy I Wish You Were Dead and the irrepressibly classic feel of Sleepless Empire’s title track\, there’s no mistaking the confidence of Lacuna Coil’s latest\, and it has its share of surprises\, too. They come in the form of two very special guest appearances from none other than New Years Day banshee Ash Costello on their epic In The Mean Time and an ear-splittingly over-the-top contribution from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe on Hosting the Shadow. \n \n \nUNEARTH are nothing short of standard-bearers and keepers of the faith for American metalcore. They were the band born in the breakdown who never wavered from their love for European death metal melodicism\, supercharged by American thrash and hardcore. Now\, 25 years into a career that’s seen the Massachusetts mob play innumerable gigs and massive festivals on six continents\, sell hundreds of thousands of records\, and inspire some of the most important bands in extreme metal today\, they remain a force to contend with. On album number eight\, The Wretched; The Ruinous\, UNEARTH not merely continues to amp-up their metal meets hardcore intensities\, but they also exceed themselves with a record that incorporates elements of classic UNEARTH offerings dating back to 2004’s “breakthrough” The Oncoming Storm\, while exploring beyond the recent back-to-basics promise of 2018’s Extinction(s). \nFor UNEARTH’s founding mainstays\, Phipps and guitarist Buz McGrath\, it feels like the beginning of a new chapter. “Buz took the entire pandemic to write these songs\,” says Trevor. “He pushed himself to get out of his comfort zone and explore what UNEARTH is\, both past and present. Buz adding these new elements and killer song structures inspired me to be more diverse vocally. The Wretched; the Ruinous is still UNEARTH\, but it’s also the most dynamic record we’ve ever done.” \nUNEARTH’s storm isn’t about to let up any time soon. Catch UNEARTH on tour now.

SUMMARY:Poppy at Marquee Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based performance artist-turned-pop star Poppy makes music that deftly balances art and commerce as she takes on multiple genres — from metal to pop and all points in between — while never losing her essential Poppy-ness in the process. She gained a substantial following on social media with her early videos\, the subjects of which grew ever more absurd and bizarre. When she began making music for Diplo‘s Mad Decent label\, Poppy’s commentary on social media and fame became even more meta; the self-referential electro-pop of 2017’s Poppy.Computer and the forays into nu-metal and dance-pop on the following year’s Am I a Girl? further blurred the project’s boundaries. In 2020\, she boldly re-branded with the critically acclaimed\, Grammy-nominated I Disagree\, which fully adopted the pop-metal direction she had been teasing. Following 2021’s EAT EP\, she released the live-to-tape Flux\, which focused her riff-heavy execution even further. More genre explorations include 2023’s industrial-leaning Zig and 2024’s Negative Spaces\, which dips into synth pop and punk. \nPoppy emerged on YouTube in 2014 with a video of her eating cotton candy in silence. Viewers were baffled\, yet it was just the start of Poppy’s brand of smart millennial theater. Wide-eyed\, platinum blonde\, and decked out in precious throwback outfits\, Poppy’s calculated wholesome persona\, budding style icon status\, and tongue-in-cheek clips — wherein she filmed herself reading the Bible for nearly an hour\, repeating her name for ten minutes\, or inflating a plastic rabbit — combined the satirical\, the subversive\, and the just plain weird. In early 2015\, she began releasing music\, starting with a Lana Del Rey-ified version of Mac DeMarco‘s “My Kind of Woman.” Her first official single\, “Everybody Wants to Be Poppy\,” arrived months later. Signing with Island Records\, she released the follow-up single “Lowlife” (and a remix featuring Travis Mills)\, a reggae-tinged jam that would serve as the first track on her debut EP\, Bubblebath. Released in February 2016\, the four-song set of catchy dance-pop showcased her musical range and sensibility\, attracting comparisons to Grimes\, Icona Pop\, Melanie Martinez\, and Charli XCX. That October\, she issued the experimental ambient album 3:36 (Music to Sleep To)\, a collaboration with polysomnographists from the Washington University School of Medicine that was designed to promote healthy sleep and dreaming. A year later\, Poppy’s official debut album\, Poppy.Computer (Mad Decent)\, arrived and peaked within the Top 40 on both the Heatseekers and Independent Albums charts. On 2018’s Am I a Girl?\, Poppy worked with Diplo\, Grimes\, and Lady Gaga collaborator Garibay on a set of songs that incorporated mainstream pop and nu-metal sounds and explored fame\, fashion\, and identity. While promoting the effort\, she began incorporating increasingly heavy elements into her music\, inspired by Nine Inch Nails\, Marilyn Manson\, and Rob Zombie. In a similar vein as Am I a Girl? selections such as “Play Destroy” and “X\,” Poppy’s 2019 single “Concrete” featured speedy metal riffs and pounding drums\, adopting a sugar-sweet attack similar to Babymetal‘s. This new direction was fully realized on her third studio set I Disagree\, which arrived in early 2020. Her first release on Sumerian Records\, the album was also her first to chart on the Billboard 200. The brash\, pop-metal style of I Disagree was a hit with critics and fans alike\, resulting in an expanded deluxe edition\, I Disagree (more). She continued an especially prolific period with Music to Scream To — the soundtrack to her graphic novel Poppy’s Inferno — and a holiday EP\, A Very Poppy Christmas. To cap off her banner year\, the I Disagree album cut “Bloodmoney” received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance\, making Poppy the first female artist ever to be nominated in that category. The next year at the actual Grammy Awards ceremony\, she performed a new track — the scream-packed “Eat” — which landed on EAT (NXT Soundtrack). Arriving a month after the release of her cover of Jack Off Jill‘s “Fear of Dying\,” the aggressive EP also featured the track “Say Cheese.” \nAt the tail-end of 2021\, Poppy released her fourth album Flux. At a compact nine songs\, it was her most focused offering to date\, blending numerous hard rock styles on a straightforward and cohesive attack produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (NIN\, Deafheaven). Led by the defiant and unrelenting single “FYB\,” 2022’s Republic/Lava-issued Stagger EP paired thrashy\, punk-metal riffs with melancholic alt-pop. Poppy started 2023 with the industrial metal-leaning “Church Outfit\,” followed by a searing rendition of Canadian nu-metallers Kittie‘s 1999 track “Spit.” She also teamed with Stu Brooks and Danny Elfman for “They’ll Just Love You.” Capping a busy year\, she joined PVRIS for a joint tour before the release of her fifth full-length\, Zig (Sumerian)\, which featured additional singles such as the industrial-pop “Motorbike” and the vulnerable “Hard.” \nPoppy started 2024 with a collaboration with alt-rock group Bad Omens\, on the song “V.A.N.” (“Violence Against Nature”)\, toured both as a headliner and opening act\, then ended the year with her fifth album Negative Spaces. On it\, she expands her already wide-ranging approach to include ’80s-inspired synth pop and pop-punk while welcoming collaborations with Knocked Loose and Bring Me the Horizon‘s Jordan Fish. \n \n
