Def Rockline
Hey guys, what has 9 arms and can’t really play an instrument? An octopus on Guitar Hero.
Speaking of 9 arms, Def Leppard will be on the radio…
That’s right, according to Blabbermouth, the band “will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show ‘Rockline’ with host Bob Coburn on Wednesday, May 11 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET.”
Don’t worry, they won’t be late… They can find a good parking spot pretty much anywhere.
Max Cavalera wants Ozzy and Jaymz
Max Cavalera wants Ozzy Osbourne and James Hetfield… Not in that way (I hope), he wants to work with them.
“Ozzy is, of course, the Godfather of metal and Black Sabbath and his solo career. I’ve played with him many times and I know him personally, but I’ve never got to actually ask him to record anything yet. But I think at one point the chance will definitely come. I would also like to do something with James Hetfield because I love old Metallica and I’ve always been a big fan of the thrash that Metallica brought and I like James’ vocals. I thought a thrash song with me and James singing would have been really cool, too.“
Read full interview here.
A thrash song with James? Haha, what’s next? Death Metal with Miley Cyrus?
But seriously, I can see why one would want to work with two of the most legendary metal frontmen of all time, but this isn’t the 80s… If you want to work with these two, you’d have to have a National Geographic show about hunting or a reality show… Just sayin’.
Evile know what day it is
If you’re a fan of Rebecca Black (and you should be) then you’re in luck… Evile sang a bit of “Friday” while playing around with auto-tune. The result? Better than the original, of course.
Fun fun fun fun…
Anyway, make the jump for the video… If you live under a rock and you don’t know Rebecca Black, click here first.
Young kids and instruments
This guy is smaller than his instrument, yet he takes us on a journey through a medley of well known songs. Does he mess up any of them? Umm… YEAH. Big time.
I got three words for you: ME. TRO. NOME.

Some headlines…
Chimaira (pictured above) lost their keyboardist. His name is Chris Spicuzza and I have no idea if he’s actually in the photo above or not. It says he’s also a programmer… I didn’t know metal bands needed coders.
August Burns Red (who?) set a title for their upcoming album. It’s called Leveler and it’s due on June 21st. Now, I don’t know about you, but if I were in that band, I’d release all my shit in August.
Trivium are also working on a new album. In fact, they’re almost finishing it. This is about as exciting as finding our you need an anus operation.
In Flames are also releasing something. For fuck’s sake, everyone’s releasing everything right now. Anyway, these guys are releasing a digital single on May 10th and if you’re anxious about it, blow me.
Alice In Chains will make a special concert announcement next week. It’s still ‘this week’ where I live so no point discussing this yet.
