Vinnie Paul’s NYE plans
Vinnie Paul (pictured above) is busy this New Year’s Eve.
“Las Vegas’ favorite band Sin City Sinners — which features Todd Kerns, Brent Muscat, Rob Cournoyer and Michael Ellis — will perform New Year’s Eve with special guests Gasoline featuring Vinnie Paul Abbott. The show will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada at Club Madrid (inside Sunset Station) and is FREE! Doors open at 11 p.m.“ writes Blabbermouth.

Vinnie? In Vegas? No… Who would have thought? Isn’t he straight edge?
The one where we got fed up with Christmas…
I don’t know about you, but all this Christmas “jolly-we’re-full-of-love-this-time-of-year” started to get to me. I needed some good old metal drama to balance things out.
Luckily, metal never stops being metal, not even on Christmas. So, what do we have to report? Paul Di’Anno (whose fashion idol is Fred Durst, obviously) wants to punch anyone who trash-talks Iron Maiden in their face. We think he’s too busy punching himself right now. Meanwhile, Misfits‘ Jerry Only (full name: Jerry Only wish I knew who) was too busy calling out Glenn Danzig’s satanic image. I guess kids aren’t as rebellious as they used to be, and he’s got albums to sell. Expect a Misfits Christmas album next year. And, speaking of nobodies living on old fame, Tarja Turunen had some live shows. Oh how I wish to be famous again… That’s all. Expect more drama now that the holidays are approaching the end.
Metal gets stupid
Apparently news is slow around the Christmas season, and hence why I’m reporting on a band called Severed Crotch, and not a new Metallica album or something instead. Without any hint of sarcasm, Blabbermouth reports that the band have apparnetly signed with Japanese label, Amputated Vein Records. Whoever they are…
And yes, this is a real band and that is a real label. Holy shit.
Roadrunner Artists share their Top 10’s of 2010
You know how much we love Top 10 lists at Dose of Metal, as evident in our weekly Top 10 every Friday. So it comes in no surprise that I was very interested in seeing the Top 10 lists some musicians, including Robb Flynn of Machine Head, Mikael Akerfeld of Opeth and Bloodbath and Dave Ellefson of Megadeth, shared lately.
Let’s jump right into it after the jump.
Phil hearts Metallica
You gotta respect Phil for being consistent. And by consistent I mean totally inconsistent. Because a few years ago he was badmouthing Metallica over and over again, but now he considers them ‘The Rolling Stones of metal.’
“The only band I can think of that will have longevity like that for heavy metal would be Metallica for sure. They’re The Rolling Stones of metal. They can if they want to, and I believe they do from the last I’ve seen of them, keep creating music; keep writing music together. They have a good time doing it and they have a massive fuckin’ following so why not do that very thing?“ said Phil while shaving his scalp.

One minute he’s all about this love, the next he’s fucking hostile. I wonder if that ever reflected on his music? ROFLMAOCOPTERLOLZ!!!11
