There are times when a great song comes out. And when I say great, I mean that when you hear it, you know it’s something special, something that you want to keep on your iPod at all times so that whenever you have that yearning to hear it, it’s at your fingertips. But then there are tracks that, before it even gets on your iPod, you’ve heard it so many times that even the thought of dragging it onto your iPod makes you clench your fists and grit your teeth. With that, I present to you readers a list of ten rock and metal songs that I’ve heard more times than I could ever have possibly wanted. Check after the jump for the full list.

Also, if there are any tracks you feel should’ve made the list, leave a comment and we’ll get a second issue of this going. Warning: if your song makes me kill someone, I’m blaming you.

In no particular order:
Metallica – Enter Sandman
Okay, I get it, The Black Album is Metallica’s best selling album. It also sounds absolutely amazing. But honestly, I’m sick and tired of this song. 
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
I could never hear this song again and it would still be too soon. But if you want a hilarious mashup, check out this version.
Drowning Pool – Bodies
A great example of overplaying the everliving hell out of a really fun song. Had it not been everywhere, I would still be able to listen to this song without wanting to shoot a puppy in the face.


Journey – Don’t Stop Believing
I’m a big fan of karaoke. I go with friends at least once or twice a month. However, there is always that one jackass that thinks they can sing this song. To that person I say this: No. No you can’t. Don’t try. Don’t even think about it. STOP believing.

Guns N Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine
I hear the first three seconds of this song and already I want to drive icepicks into my eyes. 

Staind – It’s Been A While
If you added all the times you’ve heard this song, you’re probably approaching a full 24 hours worth of time. That’s how much they played this song on the radio. Enough is most certainly enough. 

Nickelback – How You Remind Me
Who thought this song was good? Honestly?

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama
Again, a great song tarnished by how often it gets played. It became such an iconic song that there was a movie called ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. And what song did they put in the trailer? Do you really need to guess?

Pink Floyd – Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2
I LOVE Pink Floyd. Hell, I did a retro review for ‘The Wall’ and the movie is one of my great films of all time. But this song drives me crazy every time I hear it. I am so sick of hearing it that I decided that I DO want an education, just to spite the damn track.

Green Day – Anything off of any of their albums
No explanation needed.

‘The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live’ Concert Event to Make Streaming Debut Next Month

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.

Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24. 

Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”

Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.

The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.

Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.

The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
