People play slot machines for different reasons. For some, how often a game pays out is all that matters. For others, a slot is not worth playing unless it features their favorite rock stars and plays their hit songs.
If you have ever had a festival completely ruined because of torrential rain, flooded tents, or even having the headliners cancel due to bad weather, you probably don't want to take that risk again. By choosing to go to a festival in a place where it is usually nice and warm, you can reduce the chances of bad weather spoiling the week of a lifetime. Of course, good weather is never 100% guaranteed, but it at least increases the chances of not needing your wellies and waterproof poncho.

Tim Baker gave a beautifully cinematic end to 2019 with the stunning video for 'The Eighteenth Hole', a song he describes as; "an intimate study of human emotion and connection".

The classic image of the newly-minted rock star, blowing their first million-dollar contract on champagne and fines for trashed hotel rooms, is fast becoming the stuff of legend. As industry watchers have repeatedly announced, the age of the overnight millionaire musician is practically dead. While global music industry revenue has skyrocketed to new heights, reaching a staggering $55 billion in 2019, less and less of that money is actually making its way into the pockets of artists.
A host of musicians will unite next week in Anaheim, California for an all-star concert saluting late guitarist Ronnie Montrose. Hosted by Eddie Trunk, the event this year features Brad Gillis, George Lynch, Carmine Appice, James Kottak, Jack Russell, and Phil Demmel, as well as members of Tesla, Reo Speedwagon, and more.

"We are good friends", he stated in a recent interview. Then Steve Harris of Iron Maiden picked up the suggestion and came out with a "why not?" reaction.

Rock music is about a lot of things, with the music itself only making up a part of what makes rock as popular as it is. Along with the ability to make great music, having a larger than life personality is a key component to popularity. These rockers in particular have some of the biggest in the history of the genre, as they have come at different points in the history of rock music, but all put their own flair into the art that they created.  Rock music has always lent itself to big personalities. It happens often that music, even in the metal field, is not enough. We need a way to get noticed, a little help as it were, just like a player who uses a gala bingo bonus code. This kind of support was often the aesthetic and choreographic side, sometimes becoming a real costume stage for some bands. So here we have thought to list 5 of the most iconic "masks" in the history of metal.
