Krokus do charity

If there’s one thing I admire about artists, who make good money from their art, it’s when they spend said money on a good cause. There are more than enough people in this world less fortunate than me, and there are certainly a lot of people less fortunate than artists who make their money by doing something as banal as playing songs.

Swiss Hard Rock legends Krokus decided to support Switzerland’s charity event ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’ (eng. ‘Every Rappen counts,’ Rappen being the Swiss equivalent of a Cent).

Make the jump and read what Chris Von Rohr, Krokus bassist, had to say about this.

Christmas Giveaways: Winners announced!

So, this year’s been good to us, so we decided to be good to you. Our two giveaways turned out great, if you ask me, and I can’t wait for the prizes to be shipped to all three winners so they can enjoy the winter holidays, the Dose of Metal way.

So… Who won, I hear you ask? Make the jump and find out.

A*** C*** – F*****’ A details emerge

Had problems figuring out what the post title is about? Now you feel the same way that anyone who has ever tried to decipher an Anal Cunt song felt.

But, the really bad news is that the band have a new album called Fuckin’ A coming in January. Aren’t you just counting days for it to happen? Make the jump to see the tracklist and the album cover.

Motorhead guitarist is pissed

No, I don’t mean he’s drunk (although he probably is too), but Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell is incredibly pissed off. Why? Well it turns out that dear old Phil barely makes an appearance in Lemmy‘s film, entitled Lemmy. Now, if I had actually watched the film, I would know that, but what do you know? Seems I actually have some taste.

Bless poor Phil, he must have forgotten to check the name of the film… Find the full story here.

Drowning Pool like videos

So much, that in fact, they will be shooting a video for each of the remaining songs on their last album. Will they be changing the singer for each video, just to spice things up? We’ll see. You can even go to their website and vote for your favorite song, and the one with most votes will get a video first. I wanted to go and vote, but unfortunately, I know only one Drowning Pool song, and hint, it’s not from their last album.

My prediction – a bunch of bad videos. Well, at least one was funny. Watch it after the jump.
