"The idea of hosting a Rock festival on the inaccessible Welsh Northwest coast in November is, quite frankly, a ridiculous idea. But that is exactly what the team at Hard Rock Hell has been doing successfully for the last 10 years. This year’s anniversary event sold out its 6500 tickets almost before the last one was over. A hardy breed of rockers you might think? Not at all. The holiday camp hosting the event provides two large inside venues with well-stocked and staffed bars as well as smaller venues, assorted concessionaries and comfortable heated and dry accommodation. A far cry from Knebworth 1985 or this year’s Download." Read the rest of Mother's Hard Rock Hell review from last weekend's festival here, check out our Vid Of The Day plus go to our updated photo gallery here.

Unfortunately we missed out in the ballot to see Metallica performing a very intimate and exclusive London performance at London's House of Vans tonight. In an unprecedented move the band released music videos over the last two days for each song from their new album, 'Hardwired…To Self-Destruct' which is released today. The good news is that you can tune in here at 9pm (GMT) tonight to watch the live stream of the show. On the other hand if you want a live gig then head on down to Leo's Red Lion in Gravesend tonight to see Raveneye supported by the very impressive Wicked Stone (pictured) who we first saw at Ramblin' Man this year.

Ronnie Baker Brooks (Track Of The Day) was born in Chicago, and started playing guitar around age six. At 19, he joined his father Lonnie Brooks, who by then had influenced some of the most well-known Bluesman of our history: Jimmy Reed, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Johnny Winter and Junior Wells. For 12 years the two would tour together, putting Ronnie out front with Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Koko Taylor. 'Times Have Changed', Brooks’ first album in ten years, due to be released on Friday 20th January 2017, carries with it the weight of grown perspective and time spent perfecting old material. Brooks worked it with Steve Jordan, whose work runs from Keith Richards to Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and Eric Clapton. A veritable who's who is guesting on the record, from Big Head Todd & The Monsters mainman Todd Mohr, R&B/Soul singers Bobby “Blue” Bland (one of the last recordings he made) and Angie Stone, legendary guitarists Steve Cropper (Stax, Booker T. & the MG's) and Eddie Willis (Motown, Funk Brothers), rapper Al Kapone, and of course Ronnie's father, Lonnie Brooks.

These special shows will mark 30 years of the iconic album, with support from up and coming British metallers The Raven Age.

The WRC first introduced you to Calfornian Rock trio Idlewar in September 2015 and the guys have recently unveiled the video for 'Glory', the latest track to be released from their extremely well received debut album 'Impulse'. Indeed there's less than two weeks to go before the Californians make their live debut in the United Kingdom, and today's Vid Of The Day features Idlewar at rehearsal, jamming songs in preparation for a UK tour with Stone Broken, plus their slot at this year's sold our Rockstock on Saturday 3rd December. With the release of 'Impulse' and last year's 'Dig In' EP, Idlewar are fast becoming renowned for their material's groove laden riffage and incredibly rich hooks, whilst the lyrics reflect on topics that are more than ever relevant to society today.
