Go ahead, call it a comeback—Kathy Griffin doesn't mind because so many people (in prominent positions, even) told her it wouldn't happen. After the infamous PHOTO INCIDENT of 2017, even Griffin's closest pals advised her to leave the country. A tumultuous year followed, one that involved being blacklisted by all of Hollywood and being investigated by the Secret Service.

We got to chat with so many fantastic artists this year—about everything from new music to amplified stage production to onstage bloopers. But we also stay true to our name and dig into how they approach building their setlists, modifying it show to show, how much is fan demand versus personal preference. Some answers have been a smidge obvious (we had to ask, right?) but some are absolutely enlightened.

Party advocate Andrew W.K. is back with his first new album in nearly 10 years. This is W.K.'s fifth studio album and will be released on March 2. The singer is set to take the new record on the road with a full band this year. The "Party Hard" icon stopped by our studio to talk about the most important part of a show and how to prepare to be a fully engaged member of an Andrew W.K. audience. After all, it's not just a concert--it's a party.

Indie rock quartet Metric are kind of like that best friend I don't talk to every single day, but when we DO catch up, it's as if no time has passed at all. I still listen to all their albums, and when they release a new track, it slips seamlessly into the soundtrack of my life. Awhile back we conducted the best interview ever with Metric frontwoman Emily Haines when she was promoting her 2nd solo album...

"I think acting has given me a discipline as a performer that you just have to perform then and there, and be ready for camera, and you do all of the prep work in advance. As a musician, you can be like it’s just not coming to me. As an actor, you come to set ready to work. When they say 'action' you do it and you do it twenty times in a row and you have to hit it every time because you don’t know what take they’re going to take. You want to put your best work out there."

Underoath are to embark on their headlining "Nø Fix" spring tour in support of their first release in eight years. Their eighth studio album, features 11 tracks and is a departure from the group's hardcore-rooted sound. The record also features founding drummer Aaron Gillespie for the first time in 10 years.

Korn just announced an extensive North American 20th Anniversary Tour, playing their debut album in FULL. Get all the details from Live Nation's @Breesays in...
