Secrets of “The Runaways”: Joan Jett, Kristen Stewart and Co. on the Wild New Biopic

Photo: Wargo/WireImage What’s the only thing better than becoming the first acclaimed all-female rock band? Becoming the first all-female rock band to get your own biopic. At least that was the feeling during Wednesday night’s premiere of The Runaways, the true story of the five teenage girls who spent the Seventies kicking their way down the Sunset Strip and into the boys’ club. On the red carpet at New York’s Landmark Sunshine theater, the E Street Band’s Steven Van Zandt called the Runaways “

Live Review: Blue Rodeo in Ottawa

Ottawa loves Blue Rodeo and apparently the feeling is mutual, because Sunday night's Scotiabank Place gig was the second Valentine's Day in three years that the band headed by prettyboy Jim Cuddy and that tortured artist Greg Keelor spent the most romantic day of the year here.

Comment of the Week: Radiohead Fans Cautiously Lobby For Best Album Grammy

Photo: Getty With Grammys a little over two weeks away and Rolling Stone’s celebrity experts predicting a Lil Wayne victory for Best Album, Radiohead fans besieged our site to lobby for In Rainbows, but realistically acknowledged the band probably doesn’t have a chance. Sum it up, TeddyB: “Really don’t get me started on the grammys, which have been a joke for many years. I honestly don’t give a sh*t who wins. Radiohead is head and shoulders above anybody in all the categories they are nominated in, end of story. I have a feeling that the Plant/Krauss record (which is quite good in my opinion) will be the winner here. It definitely has that grammy voter feel. But so many good artists didn’t get nominated that it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day.” Can Radiohead pull off the impossible and upset Weezy, Coldplay and Page & Krauss? Can anybody stop the Brothers Jonas from being crowned the Best New Artist? Check out our Grammy Faceoff ‘09 and have your say.

Metallica’s New Album: “Ridiculous,” “Sick,” “Bitchin’” Says Matt Sorum

Metallica are hard at work on their next album with producer Rick Rubin, and at least one person outside the band has heard the songs: Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum. We’ll let him take it from here: “Lars is a good friend of mine. He played me the demos from San Francisco, and I turned and looked at him and I said, ‘Master that shit and put it out.’ It’s ridiculous. The demos were sick. Eight-minute songs, all these tempo changes, crazy fast. It’s like, ‘Dude, don’t get slower when you get older, but don’t get faster!? How are you gonna play this live?’ And then me and Lars were out partying all night, and he had to go in the studio the next day and do this stupid like nine or ten minute song, and I was laughing at him — because he played me the demo of it, and it was [sings really fast drum part], so fast. I called him, and said, ‘Dude, how are you feeling?’ He was like, ‘Dude, I’m hurting.’ They’re cutting everything to tape, no fuckin’ Pro Tools — live, no clicks. Bitchin’. I dig it. I’m really excited for them.” Photo: AFP/Moilanen/Getty

The Whigs Hit the Studio With Elliott Smith Producer

Athens, Georgia rock trio the Whigs recorded their first album, 2005’s Give ‘Em All a Big Fat Lip, on eBay-bought equipment in a borrowed frat house with no air-conditioning in 110-degree heat — and still managed to make Rolling Stone’s Ten Artists to Watch as an unsigned band. But we’re pleased to tell you that the hard-touring Whigs are in a fancy (and presumably climate-controlled) Los Angeles studio right now, recording their label debut with producer Rob Schnapf, best known for his work with Elliott Smith. And the Whigs — who signed with ATO Records last year — aren’t feeling too much pressure. “It’s not like, you know, when Pearl Jam released their second album,” says frontman Parker Gispert. “No one knows who we are, so it’s okay. And it’s the first time we get to really go record, so we’re pumped.” Like the Whigs’ previous work, the new album should mix garage-y rockers with slower, keyboard-driven tracks — but we’re guessing the whole thing will sound bigger this time. Check out some old songs on the Whigs’ MySpace page, or get a sneak peek at the upcoming album with this excerpt of their Bonnaroo performance of the new song “Right Hand on My Heart.” Photo: Rahav Segev / Retna

Kiss Piss Scandal: Man Arrested For Urinating on Fan at Concert

Photo: AFP/Getty In what now seems to be an unfortunate trend at Boston rock concerts, a man was arrested at Kiss‘ TD Garden show on October 5th after urinating on the concertgoer standing in front of him. According to the BPDNews blotter, a woman was watching the Sonic Boom band in action when suddenly she experienced “a warm feeling on the back of her leg.” The victim turned around to see the source of the warmth, only to discover the man standing behind her was urinating.

“The Beatles: Rock Band” - Read the Rolling Stone Review

When The Beatles: Rock Band really clicks — when you’re pounding out “Helter Skelter” hard enough to get blisters on your fingers; when you’re loping through the bass line of “Dear Prudence”; when it starts feeling like you are, in fact, the Walrus — the experience is almost eerie. It begins to seem like the Beatles didn’t write and record these songs so much as construct them — so sturdily that they translate with absurd ease to an interactive format that was four decades away. The Beatles’ mus
