  • Imagine Dragons Floors, Owl City Soars in St. Louis

    The "Show Me" state of Missouri showed Yahoo! On The Road an awesome time on Wednesday night by singing/screaming along to Imagine Dragons and Owl City! The purple caravan dropped in on a balmy St. Louis at the incredible Pageant theater in the Delmar Loop district -- the biggest venue on tour yet, and for good reason!

    Plus, the backstage had a massive shrine of all the bras, underwear, and random sundries scrawled with frantic love messages thrown on stage over the years. Included in the Wall of Fame-Worship: An inflatable E.T. in a bike basket, a strap-on baby bump, and a full window mannequin, in a bikini of course.

  • The men of Fall Out Boy have made their triumphant return with their first album in five years Save Rock And Roll debuting at #1, kicked off a huge tour with an evolved stadium audience, and hit the exclusive Yahoo! On The Road stage for some of the biggest FOB fans in the country. But things weren't always sweetness and light.

    When asked to share some of the shenanigans witnessed during their many years of touring before the show, lead singer Patrick Stump got right to the thorn in all traveling bands' behinds -- literally. And having been on our own Y! tour bus for a bit, the lessons learned ring all too true.

    "I have to be delicate in describing: Many people don't know this, but you're not allowed to use the full capacity of the facilities, the bathroom, on a bus," cautioned Stump. Bassist Pete Wentz knowingly laughed.

    Stump continued, "One time we had a makeup girl for a photo shoot, and she had to do makeup on the bus. Then she kinda hung around too long and it was weird, but the coup de grâce was that she, yeah, she left a little something in the bathroom. It was really brutal. I mean, it was just a brutal thing to do."

    Adding another horror story, Wentz told us, "There was a band we were on tour with where one of the guys would get drunk and he'd be like, 'I don’t care, I'm just gonna [use the full capacity of the facilities] on this bus.' But then he would leave $500 out on the table and be all, 'It's cool, I paid for it!' But everyone still has to sit in the smell of it, it was awful.

    Wentz's proceeding metaphor about stealing cars and leaving money behind jogged Stumps memory about a truly unmatchable shenanigan that belonged to a vintage Bobby Brown. "A friend of ours used to

  • Macklemore Flaunts His “$100 Hook-Up,” Crowd-Surfs the Badger

    Forget the Gucci, Louis, Fendi, and Prada; Macklemore might just be the only hip-hop star to glorify a cheap deal for slick threads. (Warning: Video contains adult language.)

    At the latest Yahoo! On the Road show with Skylar Grey and cohort Ryan Lewis, the "Thrift Shop" rapper went over his $20 budget to drop *gasp* $100 American on the "$100 Hook-Up": a ridiculous suit complete with shoes from a local mall store. Macklemore upped the ante on his ridic outfit with the addition of a fur jacket, a temporary donation from an audience member. Brand new head-to-toe ensemble, including fur? In hip-hop, that's what we call a steal.

  • Lauryn Hill Sentenced to 3 Months in Prison for Not Paying Taxes

    Looks like it ain't workin' for Ms. Lauryn Hill this year. On Monday, the singer was slapped with a three-month prison sentence with a following three months on house arrest for failing to pay taxes on about $1.8 million in earnings.

    Hill's lawyer conveyed that the singer had already paid in excess of $970,000 to settle her tax responsibilities, and sought probation in lieu of hard time. She was facing up to three years in prison, so three months is not as bad as it could have been.

  • 8 Most Memorable Male Dancers in Rock

    The Rolling Stones [Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage]Let's face it: We can't all dance like Beyonce, or Usher, or even Britney Spears at her worst. Haven't most of us at some point in our lives tried standing in front of the mirror, scrutinizing our poorly executed excuse for *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" dance? (Okay, not most, but some). But lo, there is a place where fancy choreographed dance moves are few and far between -- and when they appear, boy do they shimmer with attainability!

    What is this land of democratic dance moves called? Rock 'N' Freakin' Roll [rok-uhn-free-kin-rohl] and we're all invited to get a green card.

    To celebrate the kickoff of the Rolling Stones' 50 & Counting tour this week, we've pored over hours of gentlemen high kicks, splits, rubber legs, and crazy hands to pick some of the most outrageous, mimic-able, and downright awesome dance moves ever to grace a rock audience. We're not talking mere jumping around and fist-pumping, but certifiable and signature dance moves. From moving like Jagger to seizing like Yorke,

  • 5 Things That Made Us :), :D, and :’) at Coachella 2013 Sunday, Weekend 2

    Red Hot Chili Peppers [Photo by Debi Del Grande]We did it kids, Coachella 2013 is a wrap! There's a certain well-deserved satisfaction that comes with deleting the Coachella app from your phone. The last night of the desert music bender didn't lose a bit of momentum despite the surely burned and beaten crowds. As myself, your faceless Weekend 2 narrator, my rubber legs were given a break once I finally figured out the golf cart situation backstage.

    Weekend 2's Sunday highlights were once again Tanlines' Brooklyn beats, Tame Impala's swaying rock, La Roux's heat-seeking dance tunes, and more from the deliciously sinister Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (accompanied by a children's chorus whom likely has no idea who he is). Everyone I saw was in top shape, surely correcting errors and adding flairs after last weekend's performances. But oh, the hologram jokes ran rampant during onstage banter. Note to Coachella 2014: It's over.

    The Red Hot Chili Peppers deserve a shout-out since the usually music-discerning Coachella crowd came out in hoards to the main stage, singing along to every song. They are likely the most commercial act to ever headline the festival, and as much as I want to stick my nose up at the band as a music writer, I couldn't help but realize that I, too, knew all the words. Plus, Anthony Kiedis was wearing a hat with punk super group Off!, so that was pretty cool.

    Well party people, slather on some aloe, pop some aspirin, and check out some moments that made us smile, stoked, and shed a tear of happiness at Weekend 2, Sunday!

  • Portugal. The Man [Photo by Debi Del Grande]"My legs!" she cried! No bother, the music extravaganza known as Coachella raged on for Saturday, Weekend 2. The Violent Femmes played their debut album again, Baauer dropped "Harlem Shake" again (as production people bit their nails that he would run out of time), The Make-Up's Ian Svenonius choked on mics atop the audience again, and Phoenix was alas R. Kelly-less and the xx was Solange-less the second time around. But there was more, oh so much more to experience that we haven't covered during Weekend 1.

    We're breaking from the :), :/, and :( format, because really, there wasn't anything to :( about -- except seeing the completely naked dude being escorted out of the main stage. It was "eh". Otherwise, we saw 2 Chainz pack out his tent wearing three chains, Portugal. The Man made a perfect sunset performance, Simian Mobile Disco got the crowd pumped while playing an assortment of vintage boards, and experienced some more particularly high highlights from Saturday, Weekend 2!
