PJ20 is famed movie director Cameron Crowe's documentary about the legendary Pearl Jam. Spanning the band's two decade career, unflinching when confronting the darker moments, and featuring amazingly rare, seemingly lost, footage PJ20 appeared in cinemas in true blink and you'll miss it fashion. If you missed it, fear not; Jamie Richards, losing his uber-cherry in a darkened room, was there to document this release for your reading pleasure......

All you have to do is answer a very simple question to be in with a chance of winning...

Von Hertzen Brothers have been causing quite a stir here in the UK recently, their 'Stars Aligned 'album has received rave reviews across the board and is the album that single-handedly turned our very own Ben Hughes onto the majestic glories of prog rock. With an awesome live reputation to boot we've teamed up with Mean Fiddler to give away two pairs of tickets to the band's upcoming London show at the Borderline on 1st October. All you have to do is answer a very simple question.....

Last week's Album Cover Of The Week got us in trouble. Who would have thought that the bonding of flesh between gentleman friends would have caused such a furore? Christian groups even stopped killing doctors at their pro-life protests in order to tick us off for our 'unnatural' love of the touching of male flesh. As an apology, this week we are featuring the Number One album in the Christian Rock charts.....

Former Big Guns drummer Matt Blakout may have been cast aside by the troubled glam community but we still love him. So much so that we agreed to publish this blog that he wrote which, basically, describes what he does on weekends. Dressing up as a dead dude and driving while asleep aside, our little love button also took a trip to Gnollfest - read on for a couple of brief mentions of it.......

Call it glam, call it sleaze, tag it hair metal or cock rock, Uber Rock's resident teezin' pleezin' expert Ross Welford was so impressed by Joe Daly's recent 50 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums feature that he wanted to do a list dedicated to the trashier side of rock. Calling on the UR Massive and Uber Rock Soldiers worldwide he collected an 83 band hitlist, squeezing it down to the Top 20 albums ever. You may agree, you may not. You might think that some bands don't even belong on a glam rock list. Whichever way you swing you have to agree, there are some great albums here! Ross, pick up that guitar and talk to me!!!

Having once penned a song with the title of 'I Love Sodom' there was only ever going to be one person who could review six hours of the German thrashers and their new DVD 'Lords Of Depravity Part II'. Step forward with a 'Deathlike Silence' Darrel Sutton and welcome in the 'Volcanic Slut'. Read on and it will all make sense...I promise.

Week 69 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week feature. I guess we'd better sex it up a little then, get the juices flowing and the gussetts a-trembling. There have been a couple of reissues from those handsome boys Gunnar and Matthew Nelson this year, but how about we use the Uber Rock crystal ball and take a curious look into their highly sexual future.....

This album cover has been doing the rounds for a while but I've resisted putting it up as an Uber Rock Album Cover Of The Week until there was a special occasion. Then I realised that putting it up would make today a special occasion! Here is it, yet another God-bothering monstrosity from Cover Art Hell.....

It's not very often you get the chance to review the same gig twice, but then at Uber Rock we don't really do things by the norm, do we? Here Dom Daley turns back the clock to May 2011 for a one-off UK show from the legendary Heavy Metal Kids with LA Guns frontman Phil Lewis on vocals. This time around however the show comes to URHQ as we review the DVD from that special night.

Clicking the Facebook 'like' link at the top of the page basically says that you wanna join us....

Who says that bands from the past can't keep on producing quality rock ready to rub shoulders with their classic output from their respective heydays? Not me. Why? Because a certain band, with their latest release this year, very nearly produced the finest album cover of their career. I say nearly because, well, sometimes the old school is the way cool......

Just over a year ago our hombre Jeff Williams, of Onslaught bass fame, decided to keep an occasional diary for us centering around what he had been up to in the crazy world of rock 'n' roll. So what better place to sharpen his typewriter than a country with an 111 million population, all of whom seemingly love heavy metal? Welcome to Mexico.

Before that bloke in a cardigan sucked the glamour out of rock music, image was king of the metal world as the 1980's eased into the 1990's. Bands had to rely on a great image in order to get their foot on the ladder to success. Week 16 of Über Röck's cheeky feature Album Cover Of The Week champions a band who eschewed a sexy band photo for their album cover, instead settling for a big fucking bird....

Almost two decades ago, Ian Bell saw Shonen Knife support a 'soon-to-explode band' by the name of Nirvana. Now he revisits the band by watching their 'Live At Mohawk Place' DVD and feels like he's been reunited with an old acquaintance. So much so in fact that he has just invested in the missing links of their back catalogue. How good must this live disc be? Read on and find out.....
