Groupies!

Groupies. What little boys dream of after they see a guitar in an instrument shop window. VH1 are airing a documentary on groupies this month, based on the book by Pamela Des Barres (who?), “Let’s Spend The Night Together: Confessions Of Rock’s Greatest Groupies.” We expect lots of juicy details and hope they’ll reveal how come most (glam) metal bands from the 80’s picked up tons of women, yet looked like women themselves? We also hoped it would be full of hot chicks, but these are old groupies. Oh well… Trailer after the jump.

Are you bored? Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to the rescue!

And I mean really bored? Bored-out-of-your-motherfucking-mind bored? Did you like “The Social Network?” Are you perhaps a fan of Trent Reznor? Wish you could watch a 45 minute video of him and Atticus Ross discussing their horrible soundtrack for the movie?

If you answered yes to all of those questions, make the jump. From the rooftop of a 20 floor building.

As if two wasn't enough…

The band named after a lame move from Mortal Kombat (actually I may have made that up), Five Finger Death Punch have announced that they have starting planning their third album. Want to know what it’s going to sound like? Well, just like their first and second album, and most likely what all their albums are going to sound like. But don’t take my word for it, read what guitarist, Zoltan Bathory says below.

“The thing is, we found our sound, so to speak. It’s still going to evolve, but not drastically. If you put in Five Finger Death Punch’s first, second, or third record, you’ll still recognize that it is Five Finger Death Punch. You kind of stick to the sound that you have. Like any band that I was into, from Pantera to Metallica to Iron Maiden, you hear the first couple of riffs and you know it’s them. I think that identity is very important and it’s crazy to lose.”

I’m pretty sure that’s just called laziness, but hey, who am I to judge?

Review: Hemoptysis – Misanthropic Slaughter

Earlier today (yesterday if you’re in another timezone), Masaki Murashita, singer and guitarist of Hemoptysis contacted us to write about their upcoming album ‘Misanthropic Slaughter’.

To be honest with you, I wasn’t in the mood to listen to some grainy demo but man, was I surprised when I listened to said album. Check out my review after the jump.

By the way, if you’re in a band and you want us to write about you, contact us right here.

Corey Taylor has no plans for Slipknot

Despite the fact Joey Jordison has claimed that work on a new Slipknot album has begun, with the band recording in early 2011, Corey ‘I am the great big mouth’ Taylor has contradicted Joey‘s words, claiming that neither he, or “at least 5 other members” have any plans to work on a new Slipknot album.

“Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me be clear. I have NO PLANS to make a new Slipknot album anytime soon,” said Taylor. “Shows? Maybe. Album? No. As for Joey’s comments, he took that on himself to say that in print. I can think of five people in this band who haven’t written/heard a thing.”

I seem to remember the same nonesense happening before recording both Vol 3 and All Hope is Gone though. In fact, it always seems to be Joey that’s psyched to start work on new Slipknot albums, but Corey is always too busy singing soppy ballads and being a pop star.
