Portnoyless new album
Dream Theater have entered the studio and surprise surprise, Mike Portnoy still not allowed back.
“First day in studio and the dawn of a new era for DT. Can’t wait to get the music flowing” wrote Petrucci on his Twitter.

When asked if leaving Dream Theater for Avenged Sevenfold is a bit like cheating on Megan Fox with Susan Boyle, Mike Portnoy had no comment.
David Draiman might be Jesus
I’m not the most politically correct guy around, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t brag about ‘fixing’ skinheads to the press, much less by including the n-word in the quote.
David Draiman did though, I guess that’s where we differ. He had an interview with ‘The Jerusalem Post‘ and guess what he talked about? Being Jewish and having to fight to defend his heritage.
“When we were playing Southside Chicago clubs, one of the guys who would come to see us was a skinhead, he had a swastika tattoo, the whole nine yards. After he became a die-hard fan, the band was sitting down having drinks after a show and he comes in and starts going on about **censored** and Jews, and I interrupted him and said, “Dude, I don’t know if you realize this but I’m Jewish.” He responded, “You’re Jewish! This completely changes my whole idea of what a Jew is supposed to be.” And soon after that, he had his swastika removed, and denounced the skinhead culture.“

Am I the only one who sees the subtle similarities to Jesus? Talking to ‘The Jerusalem Post‘ about sitting at a table and a disturbed (hehe) skinhead comes to Draiman and he offers one line and immediately heals the guy. I’m not one for religion, but HOLY SHIT…
Is Draiman HIM? Oh blessed be thy heart almighty Draiman. If only you could have met a certain Austrian bloke a few decades ago…
Ozzy got shot by a pro
I purposely titled this post like this to mislead you, because news is slow and shit. What, I’m a sensationalist, sue me.
Anyway, pro shot clips of Ozzy Osbourne‘s show in London (18th of September) were uploaded on YouTube. Make the jump and watch them.

Bon Jovi, Hetfield and Bono are rich
According to Reuters, Jon Bon Jovi, James Hetfield and Bono are better at life than you, because they made a lot of money this year with their band while you work a crappy job and barely make any money. Not enough to make you kill yourself? Fine, let’s bring in the numbers…
– Bon Jovi grossed $201.1 million
– AC/DC grossed $177 million.
– U2 grossed $160.9 million.
– Lady Gaga was No. 4 this year with $133.6 million.
– Metallica was No. 5 with $110.1 million from 60 overseas shows.Full article here.
Leaving all jokes aside, U2, Bon Jovi, AC/DC and Metallica as the top touring acts isn’t a bad thing considering all the dreadful music which is out today. Which brings me to Lady Gaga. WHAT THE FUCK?
The uglier version of Marilyn Manson who makes repetitive bubblegum pop music with SNES instrumentals brings in as much cash as the big boys? This world is going down the drain.
When asked if she gets a shriveled penis from stage fright, Lady Gaga had no comment.
