Cage Match: Genesis vs. Ozzy Osbourne
This week’s Cage Match is a unique battle featuring a drummer that can no longer drum vs. a singer that can no longer sing. It should be a well-known fact that Genesis is one of our favorite bands here at ATV HQ. I spent parts of the past week insanely jealous of Popdose pal Jason […]
CD Review: Bon Jovi – The Circle
Wait a minute! I was under the impression that The Circle was to be Bon Jovi’s return to form album. Sadly though, “returning to form” leaves a lot to the interpretation as to what “form” is. For those of us that discovered Bon Jovi early on and helped to raise them to superstardom, “form” means […]

Traveling on the Super Highway with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
I’ll admit it – I’ve been holding something back from all of you, because for the past month, I’ve been on a secret road trip. I’ve been on the road with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, traveling with the band on the maiden voyage of their Superhighway Tour. Supporting the release of the highly anticipated […]
Setlist: Metallica at Quicken Loans Arena – 10/15/09
You know, it’s crazy when I think about the fact that I’ve seen Metallica 36 times now, yet this was the first time I’ve seen them in the last decade. I have worshipped this band since I was a kid, but the facts are the facts, and the fact is that they did a solid […]
