AC/DC Drummer Phil Rudd is a stoner
Two days ago, Phil Rudd, Drummer of AC/DC, was convicted in the Tauranga District Court for possession of cannabis found on his launch, Barchetta, on October 7. He was convicted for possessing 27 grams of cannabis.
Like a true stoner, Rudd is paranoid (haha… no wait, wrong band). In an interview with Stuff.co.nz, Phil said the following;
“They (police) have been trying to catch me on the road for a while too.”
Sure Phil, the police has nothing better to do than to follow aging rockstars to bust them for possession of 27 grams of cannabis.
Angus Young, who lives in the Netherlands, had no comment. I wonder why.
Grammy nominees announced
Yesterday during the “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music Biggest Night” this year’s Grammy nominees were announced.
We all know that the Grammy’s are the be all, end all of all metal award shows, so you should definitely check out the nominees for Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance after the jump (or, if you’re smarter than I think you are, you can just read the huge list of tags beneath this post).
With past winners such as Korn, Deftones, Rage against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, you just got to admit that the Grammy’s won lots of credibility for their Best Metal Performance category. Yeah right, what a load of shit. Make the jump anyhow because this year at least 4 of the 5 nominees are in fact metal.
Bring me the earplugs
Yes, someone do please bring me some earplugs, because Emo Metalcore (personally I prefer apple cores, or possibly even Andrea Corr) rockers, Bring Me The Horizon, have announced a 2011 UK tour with Parkway Drive, Architects and The Devil Wears Prada.
Not from the UK? Lucky you. From the UK? Find out the dates and venues to avoid after the jump.
Mudwayne bassist is modest
Mudwayne bassist Ryan Martinie was extremely humble in a recent interview with Warwick. Check out an excerpt:
“We are a piece of musical history now, I’m not trying to sound pretentious when I say that, it’s there whether I like it or not.“ said Ryan while polishing a statue of himself.
Read full interview here.
Oh come on, Ryan, don’t put yourself down like that. Tell us how you really feel.
Merry Christmas, from Corey
Like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez before him, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Stone Sour and The Jonas Brothers fame released his own Christmas song. And it is now available for streaming.
Check it out, after the jump.
When asked if he’ll star in his own show on the Disney channel, Corey Taylor had no comment.
