Stone Sour Win Rock Band of the Year in the 2012 Loudwire Music Awards

Roadrunner Records Kudos to Stone Sour  for winning Rock Band of the Year in the 2012 Loudwire Music Awards. In a heavily competitive heat, Stone Sour emerged as the victor with just over 23 percent of the final tally. The band’s big year was bolstered by their most ambitious release to date — ‘House of Gold & Bones, Pt. 1,’ which is only the first half of a two-part album project. Could that lead to a repeat victory in 2013? We’ll have to wait and see. As we stated, Stone Sour had a tough road to emerge as the victor. Halestorm gave them all they had, finishing second with close to 19.5 percent of the vote. With 10 nominees in the category, it speaks highly of the respect of the fan bases that only two of the competitors earned under five percent of the final sum. Congrats to Stone Sour  for nabbing the honor of  Rock Band of the Year in the 2012 Loudwire Music Awards.

Marilyn Manson Requires 24 Stitches on His Ear Following Fight in Switzerland

Liz Ramanand, Loudwire / Marilyn Manson Twitter Marilyn Manson is not afraid to stand up for himself, but in doing so recently in Switzerland the rocker came out a little worse for wear. In fact, the musician needed 24 stitches to sew up part of his air after a brawl. The entertainer who once released the track ‘The Fight Song’ did not go into detail about the scuffle, other than to reveal that the injury came about when he was struck with a glass table. Manson discussed the incident via Twitter and also included a photo of his ear after the procedure. Manson has been touring through Europe along with  Rob Zombie  as part of the “ Twins of Evil “ tour. The rocker has enjoyed a career resurrection this past year, with the single ‘ No Reflection ‘ and album ‘ Born Villain ‘ both making the cut in the Loudwire  Best Rock Songs  and  Best Rock Albums  of 2012 lists. Check out his tweets about his scuffle and ear injury here: I was hit by a glass table in a dangerous fight.
