Daily Riot Fest Roundup

Daily Riot Fest Roundup

Monday, November 20, 2017
November 20, 2017 // Riot Fest


Trigger warning for rock ‘n’ roll purists! Remember when Lars Ulrich’s boneheadedness led to a potentially classic Metallica album having no bass guitar in the mix whatsoever? Sorry… too soon?

One, two, three, four!
Normal Legos, such a bore!
Four, five, six, seven!
Ramones Legos, good heavens!

You know the cool backing band on the Chris Gethard Show, with the drummer that looks like (and is) Mikey Erg? Well, they have a name. They’re called the LLC, and they’ve just released a couple new songs via Uproxx.


Why don’t you go ahead and check out new music from Franz Nicolai, the keyboard player from The Hold Steady and awesome mustache wearer?


YouTube is currently performing the new GBH album in its entirety.



Tommy Stinson’s Cowboys in the Campfire are out on tour as we speak. Tommy and Chip are so excited to play for you that they painted their guitars metallic pea.

Eddie Van Halen is rarely wrong.

It is a sad day in rock and roll. Malcolm Young was my friend and the heart and soul of AC/DC. I had some of the best times of my life with him on our 1984 European tour. He will be missed and my deepest condolences to his family, bandmates and friends.

Tom Morello has been wrong before. Not this time.

Rest in rock power AC/DC's #MalcolmYoung, #1 greatest rhythm guitarist in the entire history of rock n roll. THANKYOU for everything. pic.twitter.com/boXBDkJJ6W

Good ol’ These Guys.

ME: Joe, about halfway through the speech, I’m gonna wish you a happy birth–
BIDEN: IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!
ME: Joe.

Happy birthday to @JoeBiden, my brother and the best vice president anybody could have. pic.twitter.com/sKbXjNiEjH
