It airs on Saturday, June 27 at 10 pm ET. It airs on VH1 Classic and Palladia on Saturday, July 4 at 9:00 pm ET.

Rock hard enough and you’ll wind up rocking with the best. That’s what’s happened to Anvil, the little heavy metal band that could.

Bret Michaels: Fractured Nose, Full Bladder

Turns out that our Rock of Love maestro was kind of befuddled the entire night at the Tonys celebration. That run-in with the descending stage scenery, you know, the one that fractured his nose, wasn’t the only oddball affair. Earlier in the evening he had to hit the head so bad that he walked backwards down the red carpet. That’s rock ‘n’ roll, y’all. Here’s a short confession above.

Dave Matthews Talks About His New Disc

Last week we brought you an interview with the Dave Matthews Band. The boss and his buds explained a bit about their new Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. It’s their tribute to fallen bandmate LeRoi Moore, who passed away last year.

Here are some more clips from that interview. The one above explains how the album title, which Dave says sounds like “a fairy tale for grown-ups,” came about. New Orleans has more than a little to do with it.

After the jump you can learn how Dave believes there’s no drummer finer than the DMB’s Carter Beauford.

Rock Band Breaks Out The Beatles in September!

Fans of the Fabs now know that the Beatles catalog is going to be digitally remastered and placed in stores this September, 9/9/09 to be exact. From “I Should Have Known Better” to “Carry That Weight,” all those jewels are going to gleam.

But 9/9/09 is big – make that massive – in the gaming world, too. The Beatles: Rock Band will be released that day. It’s the first time that rock’s most influential songbook has been applied to a game. The opportunity to grab an instrument and knock out everything from “I Feel Fine” to “Get Back” is going blow a lot of minds. Paul, Ringo, Yoko Ono, and Olivia Harrison helped tell the world at the E3 confab last week. As you can see from above, VH1 News was there.

Perhaps the coolest part about the game is its authenticity. The instruments are superb replicas of the signature basses and guitars the band played. The “venues” that participants rock out in are the ones the Beatles actually played, from the Cavern Club to Shea Stadium.

We’ll deliver more Beatles: Rock Band news as it’s announced. CHECK A GAMEPLAY TRAILER
