19-year-old Angie Miller may not have won 'American Idol' last night, but she made it all the way third place, and won our hearts in the process. Of course, we don't watch the show, we just happened to catch a glance while the girlfriend was watching. We were walking through the living room after pumping iron in the garage, you know?

Let's Enjoy These Gorgeous Women Doing Pull-ups and Pretend We're Into Working Out

GuySpeed Editors — Fri, 17 May 2013 19:59:28 +0000

In High School, we always thought it was pretty unfair that the girls didn’t have to do pull-ups to pass the Presidential Fitness Test; we weren’t exactly fitness powerhouses ourselves (okay, we still aren’t). Whether they inspire you to workout, or inspire you to daydream, these fit-as-a-fiddle babes are pretty fun to look at, either [...]

Eduardo Rivadavia — Fri, 17 May 2013 19:57:20 +0000

When Judas Priest released their 11th album, ‘Ram It Down,’ 25 years ago today, few people outside of the band’s inner circle had an inkling that the storied British heavy-metal institution was standing at a crossroads. The band’s previous record, 1986’s ‘Turbo,’ was as successful as it was divisive, simultaneously broadening Judas Priest’s audience and [...]

25 Years Ago: Frank Zappa Releases 'You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1′

Sterling Whitaker — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:14:33 +0000

One of the most confounding musicians ever to grace the rock genre, Frank Zappa had a penchant for taking what essentially amounted to full-blown avant garde compositions and arranging them for rock ensemble playing. His bizarre, conceptual live performances were an astonishing mix of exceptional musicianship, onstage theatrics and pop culture satire. On May 16, 1988 Zappa showcased some of the standout live tracks from various eras of his development by releasing a career-spanning double live album titled 'You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol 1.'

Sterling Whitaker — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:08:12 +0000

With the recent news that Kiss will soon feature a gigantic, fireball-spewing spider in their stage show, we're reminded of another major rock star who brought a large arachnid on tour: David Bowie.

Bowie has often been a performer ahead of his time, pushing the envelope in his music, his imaging and live performances. His 1987 'Glass Spider' tour was the biggest live spectacle of his career -- an undertaking so massive that despite its success, Bowie would never attempt to repeat it.
