| Guns and Roses returns after more than a decade of waiting | ||
| By Keith Crane Fourteen years. That is a long time. Fourteen years is more time than what we put into our pre–collegiate schooling. Fourteen years is surely a long time. It has been 14 years since Guns N’ Roses last released a studio album, with the last being The Spaghetti Incident released in 1993. It is now the end of 2008, and it has finally happened. (Dec. 5) |

| Twilight will please the teen fan base and no one else |
||
| By Kate Williams Twilight was the most anticipated teen movie of the year, minus maybe Hannah Montana.

| Pagans on Wagons tours Nebraska and Iowa at end of month |
||
| By Luke Dreier At first glance the girls in Pagans on Wagons wouldn’t seem to be a very brutal sounding metal band. But once you hear them or get to see them perform (which is quite a good time), you’ll know that these ladies are very serious. (Dec. 5) Scab Chapel rocks local venues with metal music By Courtney Brown Scab Chapel’s MySpace page says, “The term ‘metal’ gets tossed around pretty easily by some these days and often incorrectly.” Not all would agree with that statement, but Scab Chapel prides themselves on being 100 percent true heavy metal style.
