“We’re really looking forward to returning to Rock on the Range with a batch of brand new killer Alice tunes to play for everyone!” says Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains.
“Head is back!!,” Korn singer Jonathan Davis comments. “Rock On The Range is going to start it all off!! Get ready, we are going to hit it hard!!”
“Bush are thrilled to be playing Rock On The Range with such great bands,” Bush frontman Gavin Rosdale says. “We look forward to seeing you all out there.”
“This massive lineup has scratched our seven-year itch!” says Gary Spivack, co-executive producer of the event for Right Arm Entertainment. “Getting Soundgarden for their first Ohio play in two decades and having seminal acts Alice in Chains, Korn, Volbeat, and Papa Roach return along with bands new to Rock On The Range that include Smashing Pumpkins and Bush, and everything in between—the spectrum of rock n roll is covered…three days of constant energy. Rock On The Range is truly where rock lives.”
“Our goal with Rock On The Range is to constantly create new and interesting ways to expand the event and give even more value to our fans,” comments Joe Litvag, co-executive producer of the event for AEG Live. “In 2013, we’ve added a comedy tent within the site that will be curated by The Funny Bone comedy club. Having a slate of incredible, up-and-coming comedians to riff on the rock experience will be a great change of pace for the weekend. The site layout is also changing dramatically in 2013 to create better event flow, to add more interactive fan activity to the festival, and to allow even more people to experience the higher caliber of talent on the second stage this year.”

Leading up to the end of the year, Revolver has asked some of our favorite artists to pick their Top Albums of 2012 and tell us why each record rules. Here, Davey Suicide (pictured left), vocalist of the goth-metal band Davey Suicide, selects his faves.
3. In This Moment, Blood
“Vocalist Maria Brink has great conviction, and this almost serves as a female-fronted Deftones.”
2. Deftones, Koi No Yokan
“After 24 years, these dudes are still cranking out strong material. ‘Leathers’ and ‘Poltergeist’ are among my favorites.”
1. Deuce, Nine Lives
“I love the party-hard and ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude that this album embodies. Not straying too far from his roots in Hollywood Undead, Deuce delivers shining moments throughout this album with cameos from Ronnie Radke, Travie McCoy, and Jeffree Star.”
Deuce recently dropped the video for “Let’s Get It Crackin’,” a song featuring Jeffree Star from the former Hollywood Undead singer’s forthcoming Nine Lives album. It’s NSFW to say the least, thanks to the countless masked topless girls dancing around, so watch it at your own risk. Tell us what you think of it in the comments section.
