Sonisphere: Stereoboard's Metallica Requests

Long before their controversial-turned-triumphant Glastonbury appearance, Metallica decided to freshen things up for their current world tour. The plan was to let their fans vote for the songs they wanted the band to play, a concept that will land at Sonisphere this weekend as the metal legends close proceedings in the wake of headline sets from the Prodigy and Iron Maiden.

Go Spread Your Wings: The Antihuman Noise Of Godflesh

There are some records that it’s hard to imagine, years later, hearing upon their initial release. ‘Streetcleaner’, the 1989 debut LP from industrial metal duo Godflesh, is one such album. A colossal illustration of dystopian intent from a band that sounded like little else recorded before or since, ‘Streetcleaner’ has a good claim to being the heaviest album of all time.

Worthy Tunes: The Stereoboard Glastonbury Setlist

Aerosmith: Six Of The Best For Calling Festival

Over the past decade, Aerosmith have been more soap-opera than rock band, with appearances on American Idol, inconsistent albums and public inter-group bitching leaving some fans baffled. Those shenanigans aside, they remain a kick-ass live outfit and as they prepare to headline this weekend's Calling Festival on Clapham Common, shortly after rocking the main stage at Download, it's again time to let their music do the talking.

Take It Easy: The Eagles' Enduring Appeal

When it comes to releasing mega-selling albums, few can outgun country-rock titans the Eagles. Sales of their ‘Greatest Hits (1971-1975)' package and 1976’s 'Hotel California' read like population figures for medium sized countries, while their current History Of The Eagles tour will take in four nights at London’s O2 Arena next week.
