CHAD GRAY, frontman for Mudvayne and Hellyeah, launched his 30 Years of Madness solo tour at the Fremont Country Club in Las Vegas, a highly anticipated sold out show in Vegas, and I was more than ready to see Vegas wayward son, Chad being near and dear to the Las Vegas fans from his Hellyeah history. In a recent interview with Loudwire, he said this tour came about because Mudvayne decided to take off all of 2026, but he is a worker and his happy place is performing live ons

Once again one of the best thrash bands in the world returned to Vegas and this time headlined at the fantastic Brooklyn Bowl! OVERKILL brought the heat to Las Vegas with he Scorching the Earth World Tour and the Brooklyn Bowl was a fire pit of mosh and metal. Opening up the show were two local bands, MADZILLA & SILENT THORNE , who lit the fuse to get the party started.

I was standing in line to snag my media pass for Spike and the Me Gimmes , AirPods in, volume up, completely sealed off from the noise of the strip. I was in my own world, jamming out, oblivious to the guys in line next to me. They were laughing, gesturing, and apparently cracking jokes at my expense, but I missed every word. Once I got inside and the AirPods came out, a gentleman walked up to me with a knowi

Halloween in Las Vegas hits different. Between the neon glow of Fremont Street, the packed sidewalks of costumed chaos, and the low rumble of bass echoing through downtown; it’s a night when the strange becomes normal and loud becomes necessary. For American Monster , it was the perfect setting for their return debut show, a hometown launch on one of the wildest nights of the year. As a relatively new transplant to Vegas, I’ve been looking for that one local show that truly c
