Black Appetite For Puppets

You like my title? Fuck you.

Anyway, these three albums made Rolling Stone’s Top 10 albums of the 80s. Here’s the complete list:

01. U2 – The Joshua Tree
02. Guns N’ Roses – Appetite For Destruction
03. Michael Jackson – Thriller
04. Bruce Springsteen – Born In The U.S.A.
05. Prince – Purple Rain
06. AC/DC – Back In Black
07. The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead
08. The Clash – London Calling
09. The Cure – Disintegration
10. Metallica – Master Of Puppets

It’s not a bad top. I don’t agree with the order though, but I’m pretty sure it’s a matter of opinion… And opinions are like assholes, they itch and are dirty.

DJ Ashba packs a 9mm

Guns N’ Roses member DJ Ashba (who isn’t actually a DJ) is having surgery on his knee, which sounds pretty painful.

MRI Update: I have a 9mm tear in my knee, so Im off to the surgeons, not getting surgery on my knee today but, setting up the surgery date. Fun fun! Hope everyone has an amazing day! Much Love~

Read update here.

Get well soon, Ashba!

P.S. = In case you missed it, here’s our interview with GNR guitarist Bumblefoot.

Korn releases a snippet

Korn released a new snippet online and it’s absolutely fantastic!! — is what I would say if I had any interest in this band, but I don’t.

So how is it? Well, I don’t know, but let me take a wild guess: not good.

Anyway, if you like this band 1) listen to the band below and 2) go kill yourself.

Warning: By clicking play on the player above you will confirm to the world that you like dick.

Interview: Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N’ Roses)

We love it when we get to talk to musicians directly and interview them without third parties involved, and such was the case with Mr. Thal.

We’re proud of all the interviews we’ve done on this site but few interviewees really played along when it came to our unique way of asking questions. Remember Axe?

But Bumblefoot gets this type of humor and he embraces it, this is why this is my favorite Dose Of Metal interview so far.

So if you want to know what a typical day in the life of Bumblefoot is like, what his stage name would have been if his wife wasn’t a veterinarian, what he thinks should happen to us or how many necks a proper guitar should have, make the jump…

Young kids and instruments

Wow. Really? No timing whatsoever and he actually misses the cymbals. It’s not even worthy of my time.
