Re: Metal?

The age old question: what makes something metal? It has come up for me lately a bit because my daughter has been enjoying AC/DC lately (started with hearing Highway to Hell over the closing credits of one of the Iron Man movies, now she likes some other tunes like Dirty Deeds and TNT) and she asked me “Is AC/DC heavy metal?”

Say it ain’t so!

Mötley Crüe is hanging it up after three hard-rocking decades. They’re going to play a farewell tour first, though — 70 shows, with tickets going on sale Friday, starting at $15. Alice Cooper has been slated as the group’s opening act. And when they say final, they mean it: The band even signed a legal contract stating that they’re breaking up, and the last tour is exactly that, the group said during a press conference Tuesday in Hollywood.
