While the week started out wonderfully for Giants fans (and the people who just hate the Patriots), Monday might not have been the best start to your week. Personally, I was as hungover as I’ll ever be but the good news is that we’re looking at a pretty good week. Not only does Star Wars: Episode I get re-released in 3D, but gamers have a bunch of choic… Click to read more

With the start of the New Year, we’re feeling creative, so we’re starting a new weekly feature called “Why This Week.” Basically, we’re going to let you know about all the awesome sh*t to look forward to like new movies, DVDs, albums, concerts, marquee games on TV, and other important event dates to mark on your non-existent calendar. Let us know which of these you’re most pumped about or feel free to point out what we missed in the comments.

The Smoking Gun released Pauly D’s tour rider recently and it might open some eyes. By no means is this the most ridiculous tour rider, and given Pauly D’s unbelievable attention to detail it’s almost to be expected but it brings to mind other historically absurd requests and demands from the music industry’s most peculiar and fickle artists. See our list then check out the Jersey Shore star’s demands after the jump.

Growing up is hard. Especially when you’re famous at a very early age. Many child actors are unable to lead a normal childhood and turn to the fast lane, Hollywood lifestyle of drugs and booze. Some, like Drew Barrymore, are able to pull out of the tailspin, some fade into oblivion (to the dismay of their fans), and others look like they’ve never aged! Hell, you might be watching a child star on your TV or in the theater later and not even know it! So, buckle up, hop in our DeLorean, ‘cuz we’re doin’ a little time travel with these “Then and Now” pics of famous faces.

Guitar Hero® Van Halen® features 25 of Van Halen’s greatest hits including “Jump”, “Panama” and three Eddie Van Halen’s epic guitar solos. Notoriously missing is the “Kick Out” feature where Eddie throws you out of the band regardless of how well you’re doing, how popular you are, or how long you’ve been jamming with him.

Are you ready to “Pimp Your Head” and take those famous white Ipod ear buds to the next level? Ultimate Ears is like Ed Hardy for the Hammer, Anvil and Stirrup.

Last month, we came across the David Lee Roth soundboard, which is by far the best soundboard on the Internet. But today, we’ve got something a whole lot better – the Diamond Dave A(s)steroidz game! The guys over at Shitbagz.com took the sounds from the Roth soundboard and added them into a sweet Asteroids-like game…

Van Halen’s “Runnin’ With the Devil” is a staple at rock clubs and seedy dive bars worldwide, with most credit due to the unhinged vocal performance by David Lee Roth. But like the Wizard of Oz before him, once you lift the curtain of studio production the warts come marching out.
First, watch and hear the full-band version of “… Click to read more

I hate New Jersey.
I live in NYC and go through great lengths daily to avoid stepping foot in the Garbage State. So when I found out Van Halen was performing live with DLR at the Continental Airlines Arena IZOD Center (what a wack name for a venue) I was completely torn. For one night I would have to put my Jersey Issues aside to see the greatest F-ing rock band of all t… Click to read more

Spinner.com came out with their Top 21 Hardest Partiers of Rock recently. We are HUGE fans of Spinner and usually they are right on point. My mom told me that every good relationship has its ups and downs, and Spinner and I are having a lovers’ spat right now.
Here are Spinner’s Top 5 mistakes:
