Surf’s up, bra!

Nothing says metal like surfing on a blue surfboard. Luckily, neither Kirk nor Metallica are metal so I guess it’s okay. See? He didn’t even do the devil horns properly.

Anyway, you might think Kirk is home practicing guitar with a metronome, but you’d think wrong. He’s in Hawaii surfing. Well, why wouldn’t he? Next time he has problems keeping up with James on stage, he can just add a ton of wah to hide it… Oh wait.

But yeah, if you fancy seeing more photos of Kirk surfing, check out more photos here.

Brian Johnson wants to drive

I am usually against senior citizens driving around, especially in powerful cars, but Brian Johnson is an exception because he’s in AC/DC. I truly believe being in that band should grant you permission to do anything and everything. Yes, even murder… Anyways:

“AC/DC front man Brian Johnson could be banging doorhandles with V8 Supercar stars Craig Lowndes and James Courtney later this year. The 63-year-old rocker and lead singer of one of the world’s biggest rock band is understood to be in discussions with V8 Supercars heavyweights about a possible one-off drive that would see him line up on the grid of Australia’s largest motor racing series.“

$10 says everyone picking up this news story will make a pun involving “Highway to Hell.” Check out the title of the original story: “AC/DC singer wants highway to V8 heaven.”

O RLY? Highway to V8 heaven? Oh, I know, because the song is called… I get it, I get it… Smart, right? And funny too… Kill me now.

Interview: David Ellefson (Megadeth)

David came back in Megadeth a year ago, and what has he been doing since? Umm, I don’t know, just KICKING MAJOR ASS around the globe and writing a new Megadeth album.

But what can fans expect from the new album, what does he think of ‘Endgame‘ and did he really see me in the crowd at the Sofia gig? Well, only one way to find out.

Ladies and metalheads…  My interview with David Ellefson, after the jump!

Brad Delson = God

Everybody knows Brad Delson is a guitar God. But we also told you he’s a multi-instrumentalist genius a while ago, which is all true. Linkin Park‘s music being mostly made with Mike Shinoda‘s Macbook, there’s little to do for this amazing guitar God on stage but to just play around with other instruments.

Please, just watch the video below… It’s a performance from SNL, God knows what song cause who cares, right? But check out Brad Delson. HE IS THE WHOLE SHOW!

R.I.P. Gary Moore (1952-2011)

We’re barely into 2011 and we already lost another great musician.

Guitarist Gary Moore passed away today, in his hotel room in Spain. He was 58. More details here.

Make the jump to see him perform his hit song, “Still Got The Blues.” An amazing guitar performance, if you ask me.
