Kiss recently revealed that the staging for their upcoming tour will feature an enormous, fireball-spewing spider.

Sterling Whitaker — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:27:12 +0000

With the recent news that Kiss will soon feature a gigantic, fireball-spewing spider in their stage show, we're reminded of another major rock star who brought a large arachnid on tour: David Bowie.

Riding a motorcycle at 200+ miles per hour with just a helmet and some thin racing gear as the only things between you and possible death is pretty impressive.

Worst Ceremonial First Pitch Ever! [VIDEO]

I have had the chance to throw out a few ceremonial pitches in my career, and am glad they didn’t have Youtube when I did. This was a FSU, Stetson game. It almost reminds me of the guy in the Volkswagen Jetta commercial teaching his son how to throw the ball.
