And while Devo may be saying farewell to touring, it’s not entirely the end. A new box set of rarities, Art Devo 1973-1977, is coming in September along with a documentary in production by Tiger King director Chris Smith.

Bonus points for adding some explanation in the body of the post about the...

Why do other guitarists dislike Jack White
Jack keeps proving that new riffs are endless. Many years ago, people were saying that classic hard rock is gone. Jack White shows up and proves everyone wrong and keeps doing it, IMO. Lazaretto is a good example, and it is heavily influenced by the 1980s.

Queensryche - Revolution Calling ( www.youtube.com )
I was just watching some Headbangers Ball on Archive.org when the lyrics to this video by Queensryche struck me.
