Sorry for the downtime, we had some problems but now everything should be okay. Have fun
Tom Araya is careful
Slayer and Megadeth toured together quite a bit lately, and with all The Big Four rumors, they’re likely to keep doing it. So of course, the whole rivalry questions will never end. But to be fair to interviewers, it seems the old feuds still seem to be there, at least in the form of paranoia.
“He’s another human being who lives on this planet, and that’s about it. He comes across as a nice guy, but I keep my guard up around him. He’s courteous to me and my wife and my kids. So I’m courteous in return.“ said Tom about Dave Mustaine

Can’t we all just… Get along? All things have an end (except the sausage, the sausage has two ends, but I digress), so while I do applaud all four bands for putting their personal differences aside and being professional, I don’t think these types of statements help. Oh well, what do I know? Except, you know… Everything…
Christmas Giveaway 2: The ABCs of Heavy Metal
Okay, so time for our second giveaway, because we wanna rock your Christmas.
Contest ended. The winner has been announced.
2 shades of grey
Two of the greatest mediocre Metal vocalists of the last 10/15 years are joining forces for a New Year’s Eve concert. If celebrating New Year’s, drinking, partying and having un-protected sex is a little too adventurous for you, why not just go to sleep at an Aaron Lewis (Staind) and Corey Taylor (Stone Sour/Slipknot) concert? The gig will be at Carol Morsani Hall at The Straz Center in Tampa, Florida on December 31st. Sounds like a blast right? Maybe Corey will come out in his slippers and with a pipe.

Don't fuck with Bon Jovi
Why? Because they can probably buy the town you’re living in, move out everyone except you, and turn every building into a giant speaker blasting Bon Jovi tunes all day long. It’s how I imagine hell, actually…
Anyway, the numbers:
On Friday, Billboard announced Bon Jovi as the highest grossing touring act – making it the second time in three years that the rock band has nabbed the honor.
From November 20, 2009, through November 28, 2010, Bon Jovi reported a box office gross of $146,507,388 and an overall attendance of 1,591,154. They sold out 69 shows this year.
Wow, I thought these guys died after the POW-POW video, but a million and a half people just proved me wrong. Just let me know if they still suck, okay?
