Podcast king Joe Rogan met rock royalty by chance when he ran into Axl Rose at a restaurant in Greece. The resulting selfie in which the Guns N’ Roses legend looks anything but thrilled to meet the comedian has resulted in a bevy of amusing Instagram comments.
Rogan posted the pic along with onstage video of Guns N’ Roses’ Saturday night (July 22nd) concert in Athens, writing. “Was in Greece on vacation and randomly ran into Axl Rose at a restaurant. He invited us to see @gunsnroses in Athens, and it was Fucking Amazing. They went Hard for 3 hours in the blazing heat and the crowd was incredible. If you have a chance to see them near you I can’t recommend it enough.”
Judging by the photo, Rogan was a lot more stoked about meeting Axl than the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was about meeting the podcaster. Rogan...

Hard rockers Dirty Honey have shared “Won’t Take Me Alive,” the first single from their forthcoming album, Can’t Find the Breaks.
The track premiered last month as part of TNT’s NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage and is now receiving a formal release across digital platforms. It’s structured around a lanky, strutting guitar riff, over which singer Marc Labelle’s howls and coos with the utmost hubris.
“The best riff I’d heard in the last decade,” enthused Labelle of guitarist John Notto’s striking axework. “The song is full of sex and swagger, but it’s still got the heaviness and the fun that Dirty Honey’s all about.”
Added Notto: “‘Won’t Take Me Alive’ was an instrumental idea I demoed on bass, drums, and guitar at my home studio. I brought it to the band, we wrote a new chorus, and it was basically finished that quickly.

Los Angeles outfit Dirty Honey have released a new song, “California Dreamin’,” from their upcoming self-titled debut album, out April 23rd.
The song is a big riff rocker that finds singer Marc Labelle exploring the darker, more turbulent elements that lurk beneath the promises of the Golden State: “I’m California dreamin’” Labelle wails on the hook, “It’s tearing us apart/It’s paranoia season/It’s in our minds, in our hearts.”

Back in January, Dirty Honey singer Marc Labelle was wearing a vintage-looking Aerosmith T-shirt onstage at Nashville’s Basement East while belting out the classic-rockers’ 1976 hit “Last Child.” It was a bit on the nose, but that’s the unabashed appeal of this L.A.-based band, a Seventies/Eighties rock outfit that isn’t afraid to wear its influences — quite literally — on their sleeve.
Dirty Honey came together in 2017 when Labelle, a New York native, met guitarist John Notto at the singer’s regular covers gig at a Santa Monica bar.
