So, this year’s been good to us, so we decided to be good to you. Our two giveaways turned out great, if you ask me, and I can’t wait for the prizes to be shipped to all three winners so they can enjoy the winter holidays, the Dose of Metal way.
So… Who won, I hear you ask? Make the jump and find out.
Giveaway 1: The Big Four
Basically here you had to finish the joke we posted and we’d select the funniest ones. Some decent entries, a lot of bad ones too, I’m afraid, but selecting the first prize winner was no-brainer for all four of us, as it was the comment that made us laugh the most:
“Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield walk into a bar. The bartender asks Dave Mustaine to leave.” — Vlasic
Vlasic submitted a lot of jokes, but ironically his first one was the best. We all found it funny. Congratulations, Vlasic, you will get the Deluxe Boxset of ‘The Big Four: Live in Sofia.’ It’s a great DVD, so enjoy it!
Second prize was a little bit trickier to award, cause we had a few finalists. We finally decided on this comment:
“Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield walk into a bar. The bartender asks James: “Can’t you see the sign? *points at the door* NO PETS ALLOWED.” — Around The Fur
Around The Fur also submitted a few entries, but his second one was the best, in our opinion. Congratulations to you too, Mr. Fur, you will get the regular DVD of the same concert. Still amazing, if you ask us, so enjoy it.
By the way, it’s a coincidence that both winners made fun of Dave, we love Megadeth here so for the Megadeth fans reading this, don’t send us hatemail. Please?
You can read the rest of the entries here.
Giveaway 2: The ABCs of Heavy Metal
So our second contest was a bit easier to enter. All you had to do was send us an email, and you didn’t even have to bother accessing your client. All you had to do was fill in a form. Amazing, huh? Well, yeah.
Here the process of selecting the winner was pretty straight forward. We used Random.org to generate a number, and that number would be our winning email. We got 25, so we picked the 25th email, starting from the first one.
So the winner is: Rusty “Bawz” Frey. Congratulations, sir. You’ve won a very special prize. Enjoy it.
Thanks to the lovely fellas at Nakatomi for helping us with this giveaway. For everyone else, don’t forget that you can buy this prize here, so go there now. They only have 80 in total, so it’s exclusive as hell. They have a lot of other cool shit, so check ’em out too.
So there you have it, thanks for helping us turning this site from a fun, spontaneous blog amongst friends into a full on metal site. We will definitely have more cool shit for you next year so thanks for entering these two contests and thanks for reading us.
