Let’s get Corey Taylor to number 1!!!
Jinge bells, Slipknot smells, the Clown laid an egg…
Guys, listen up. We need to get Corey Taylor‘s Christmas song to number 1. I know, I know, it’s shit… But hear me out for a second.
“I’ve decided that if you get me to Christmas number 1, I will film myself swimming with sharks“ said Corey while holding an axe or whatever that is.
Video after the jump.
So think this through, guys. We get him to number 1 now, that could potentially mean no more Slipknot, Stone Sour or a million other side projects next year. Get it? I’ve watched enough Discovery Channel to know that sharks are mean so LET’S DO THIS!
Shocking: Dave Grohl is a movie star
Dave Grohl will be appearing in another film — apparently he has a cameo in the new Muppets feature where he replaces Animal on the drum set. Hm, first The Pick of Destiny, now The Muppets. Who knows, maybe in a few years, he scores a deal with Disney and appears as a singing animal in a Bambi sequel, Bambi 3D.
Seriously now, I did like him as Satan. Here’s what the news source had to say:
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will have a cameo appearance in the new Muppets film, NME.com reports that the singer-guitarist-drummer is going to sit in for usual Muppet drummer Animal, who will be out attending anger management courses.
Grohl won’t be the only guest star in the Muppets film, which is due next year. Lady Gaga, Jack Black and Jean-Claude Van Damme will also make cameos in the movie, which stars How I Met Your Mother‘s Jason Segel. The sitcom star also is co-writing the film.
Lady Gaga, Jason Segel? Thanks, I’ll pass.
Shocking: Aaron Lewis is a country music star
Oh my god, how could this happen? It’s not like the last Staind album to have proper heavy music was released about ten years ago, nooo sir. And it’s not like each new album after that sounded more and more acoustic and 3-doors-downier than the last.WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?
In case you’ve missed the sarcasm, Aaron Lewis‘ latest (and also very natural) step in his musical career was to record a country album. And apparently, he made the right choice, because he’s making money. And at the end of the day, that’s the only thing that matters, right? The cycle is complete.
P.S. Make the jump to see his video for “Country Boy,” named like that just so the people in Texas wouldn’t get confused as to whether this is a rock or a country album when they recognize Aaron‘s fat face.
Friday Top 10: The year 2010 in metal
2010. Not as good as 2001, but still okay. Can you believe the year is coming to and end? I barely can. And then I got the job to compile a list of the most important things that happened this year. When I say the most important, I mean the most important in metal. No matter what your mom tells you, nothing is more important than metal.
Make the jump to see what made the list, and bitch about the things that haven’t.
Second Big Four gig confirmed
The Big Four, also known as ‘The Big One and another three bands,’ confirmed another date for next year. This time it’s the French Sonisphere. Me oui, je suis tres content.
This is happening on the 9th of July, and Slipknot seems to be playing on the 8th. I get it, bad metal the first day. Good metal the second day to make you appreciate the improvement. Good idea.
