“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

A couple of days ago, no less an eminence than Ritchie Blackmore, a founding member of the legendary rock band DEEP PURPLE, joined his surviving former bandmates on-stage in Wantagh, NY, for a rendition of their most famous song. This is the three-chord riff that...

The toughest gig in drumming

When the surviving members of RUSH announced late last year that they were thinking about touring again, and had hired a new drummer to fill the shoes of the late, LEGENDARY, dearly missed Neil Peart, most of us fans – “Rushians”, as Peart himself once affectionately...

“To boldly rock where no man has rocked before”

Of all the unexpected things to happen (thus far) in 2026 – and we are only a little over halfway through the year – the idea of the legendary William Shatner, aka Captain Kirk, fronting a heavy metal band, surely is right up near the top of the “too crazy to believe”...

So this Swedish band walks into a coffee shop…

If you have ever listened to SABATON – and pretty much EVERY LRFotS has encountered AT LEAST one poast here that incorporates one or more of their most memorable choons – then you know how hilariously awesome they are. They also have a great sense of humour, and are...

Happy HELLOWEEN 2025

Seeing as it is the very last day of October, we all know what that means: a bunch of people dressed up like Martin Luther, nailing a list of clear refutations of High Church doctrine to any and every door that they can find. Oh, wait, you didn’t know it was...
And now, everything you always hated about RUSH!

And now, everything you always hated about RUSH!

When REKTallica had a real drummer

When REKTallica had a real drummer

For years, I have been VERY harsh about one Larzzzz Ulrich, founder, drummer, and leader of Metallica – a band that I consider to be hugely overhyped and overrated. That being said, there was a time, back in my teens, when I did listen quite a bit to their...
Rhythms of the Beast

Rhythms of the Beast

It has happened at last. Nicko McBrain, the legendary drummer for the even more legendary IRON MAIDEN – THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME, there is no argument whatsoever on this subject as far as I am concerned – has announced his retirement from touring:...

The 2024 Post-Election Shitlord Schadenboner

As we saw last night, the world appears to be returning – kind-of-sort-of-really-slowly-in-a-chaotic-way – to normal. We can say this, because His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus...
