Q-Ruption

Sharing the headlining role at this year's Q-Ruption is Jane's Addiction. Formed in 1985 with Perry Ferrell, Dave Navarro, Chris Avery, and Stephen Perkins; The band has seen it's share of success and break-ups.

We're just about two weeks away from this summer's biggest show - #Qruption, Rockstar Energy Drinks' Uproar Tour. The line-up includes one of my all-time favorite bands, Alice In Chains, and in honor of their headlining performance on August 13th; here are my Top 5 favorite songs from the band that helped lead the grunge movement of the 90's.

Since the release of their fifth studio album ‘The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here’ in May, Alice in Chains have returned to the forefront as one of hard rock's leading forces. With two hit singles -- ‘Hollow’ and ‘Stone' -- already unleashed on the general public, AIC are sticking with the theme of enigmatic one word song titles for their next single, ‘Voices.’

Q103, Live Nation, Rockstar Energy Drink, and Ernie Ball present the "Battle for Q-Ruption"

Q-Ruption, Rockstar Energy Drinks's Uproar Festival, is less than a month away and we're counting down the days until show time. Still on the fence about the line-up? Here's a preview of some of the bands you'll see live on Tuesday, August 13th!

Q103 and Live Nation have a boat load of tickets for Q-Ruption to giveaway.

Q-Ruption, Rockstar Energy Drink's Uproar Festival, announced it's line-up several months ago with Alice In Chains and Jane's Addiction as your headliners. Since then, more bands have been added and we can officially say there will be a Third Stage this year!

I've been on an Alice in Chains kick since the release of The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. Rightfully so, seeing as the first two singles from the album have hit numbers 1 and 4 on the charts with Hollow and Stone. I guess I'm all excited for August when The Chains make their way to the area.

From time to time I find myself totally hooked on a tune. You know what I mean? I'll listen to it over and over and over again. I think we all do that, to be honest. Although, I have tried to calm it down a bit- I hate getting burnt on tunes. This song though, I don't know- I can't put it down.

Q-Ruption is right around the corner on August 13 at SPAC. At that point, the summer heat will be in full effect and you will want refreshment during the show. But that means you have to leave your seat and stand in, what seems like an endless, line to a cold one for your and maybe your friends. Not anymore!

Well, the weather is getting warm, the girls was wearing lesser and lesser everyday, the grills are fired up - That means it's time for the Summer Concert Season! As you prepare to venture out into the world of outdoor venues, there are several things you need to remember when it comes to behaving properly at these venues and events.

There are covers, and there are COVERS! Some bands can pull it off and others, not so much. Some covers make you think: 'Man, I think that's better than the original'. Case in point: Shinedown with Simple Man. Ok ok ok, I know you're probably throwing your mouse at your computer in disgust, and that's fine. Skynard made the track and made it well. Shinedown though, yeah, they killed it.
