It’s Halloween at Musicians Institute! The best way we can think to celebrate these two things is to highlight some of our favorite rockstars who like to take their stage personas into the creepy realm with masks, costumes and sometimes (a lot of times) gore. Unlike most of us, these spooky artists don’t have to wait for October 31 to be absolutely frightening.
