• The return of Foxy!

  If you're looking for great rock & roll this Saturday night, you could do a whole lot worse (and really, you could, like that Guns N' Roses tribute creature at the HOB, or whatever it is at the Coach House that “features members of Yes”—gag) than the Foxy reunion at Cero's Bar in Anaheim (316 S. Euclid St., 714-317-3136; myspace.com/cerosbar). Foxy was one of a jillion vastly underrated but totally kick-ass OC bands I came across during my seven-year stint as the Weekly's music editor, an

• Last Night: Gym Class Heroes, The Roots and Estelle at The Grove

  Better Than: Breaking up with a girl friend and writing a sappy song about it...leave that to the pros. I didn't quite believe my eyes when I stumbled across The Grove's Oct. 16 concert listing a few weeks ago. As a perpetual sucker for hip hop bands, a chance to watch The Roots, Gym Class Heroes and Estelle all on one stage seemed too good to be true. Ok, so MOST of my excitement was for The Roots, but still I was curious to see if GCH and Estelle, two of Billboard's latest darlings, could pu

• 'Chinese Democracy' is Here, Free Dr. Pepper is Not. (Yet.)

  As if you hadn't heard. Chinese Democracy, the Guns N' Roses record long thought to be vaporware, is out today, exclusively at Best Buy. So in case you're buying a cheap DVD copy of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and need something to listen to on the ride home, they've got you covered!What's not so nice and tidy is this free Dr. Pepper we've all been promised. Instead of just being able to walk into your locals Vons and demand one, i.e. Taco Bell and their various baseball-inspired freebies, you'

• Club Pick: OC Weekly Holiday Party

  No one knows how to get wasted in the winter quite like the Irish. OC Weekly knows this. After all, we have several of them on staff. That is why we've decided to pack every square inch of The Auld Dubliner this weekend in a mid-December ball of booze-soaked holiday cheer. Normally, the words "holiday party" tend to inspire a wave of cringes from bitter 9 to 5 worker bees. So if you decide to swing by, at least you know your coming to a place with some quality imported suds straight from the t

• Top 10 Metal Albums of 2008

  In a year worthy of your rage, metal delivered in spades. What with the economy circling the drain and Sarah Palin coming down from the tundra and then refusing to go back, 2008's been the kind of year that really makes you want to smash your head into walls or punch random strangers in the face. Good thing there were so many awesome records available to serve as a soundtrack for exactly that kind of behavior. The ten discs below are just the tip of a very big, very heavy iceberg. Metal seems to

• Old School Hip-Hop: Back from the Dead

  I've been a Sirius Satellite subscriber (hello alliteration) since the night before Howard Stern broadcast his first censorship-free show. But in that time, I've come to love certain aspects of the other channels and have recommended this product to everyone from friends to my parents.Sirius and XM, its competitor, merged a few months ago after what seemed like an endless battle to turn two into one. To be honest, I didn't follow the merger as much as I should have because ultimately, I really d

• "Ten" is still "Alive"

  Holy shit! Last night I saw a commerical for the deluxe edition of Pearl Jam's debut Ten. I've been on this Earth for a mere 29 years, but suddenly I feel very, very, very old. This re-issue includes a remastered version of the record and a remix done by long-time PJ producer Brendan O'Brien, six bonus tracks and a DVD of the group's 1992 performance on "MTV Unplugged." By the time Ten came out in 1991, I was by no means a music novice. My tape collection (yes kids, there were these things call

• Ronny Kicks Ass

  "They're rookies," some one said about the promoters as the DJ fudged Ronny Rios's entrance song twice before finally hitting the only track that would coax young Ronny out from his warm up room and into the ring. Born and raised in Santa Ana, 19-year-old Ronny missed the Olympic team by a hair in late 2007, and went pro late last year. There was nothing remotely Olympian or drab last night as the sun set over the grassy Woodstock terrace at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. It was all light sho

• Kanye West: Not Dead!

  ​First Zach Braff, now this? Yeah, as we type, right now the top two trending topics on Twitter are "RIP Kanye West" and "#LongLiveYeezy." Don't be fooled; this is another sad sign that the "microblogging" site is, as I've spent so long denying, sometimes kind of dumb. Or actually harmful. The infamously self-obsessed yet undeniably talented rapper is, as far as anyone can tell, most definitely still alive, probably at home writing something in all caps right now.Misinformation tends to spread
