Some headlines, yo

Whitesnake (pictured above) have a new album in the works. It’s called “Forevermore” and David Coverdale had this to say about the title: “Don’t forget, ’tis ONE word.” It’s pretty hard not to forget that, David, as I don’t really care and neither does most of the world.

Joey Jordison is on the cover of Rhythm Magazine and you can get it here.  I know what you’re asking yourself: Should I get it? Well, aside from an in-depth look at his gear, Joey also talks about his many projects. In other words, no, no you shouldn’t.

The Damned Things‘ debut album sold 6,200 copies in the United States in the first week of release. It’s apparently #1 on the Top New Artist Albums chart which means out of all of the noobs, they’re the best selling. Not bad for a band with members of Fall Out Boy in it.

Pantera and Damageplan roadie John Graham tells his story working with Dime in both of his bands, as well as being a roommate with Vinnie and other stuff. Read interview here.

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.

Phil is also technological

Well, well, well… I just posted about one Pantera member getting all tech-geeky and shit with an iPhone app. Not to be outdone, Phil “Million Projects Man” Anselmo also uses some computer slang in a recent interview:

“UG: What about all the posers out there?

Phil: I’ll tell you the truth: you are correct. There are a lot of cut-and-paste motherfuckin’ thrash metal acts today. That is harsh but I’ll say it: there’s a lot of Exodus worship. Fine. There’s a lot of records where I can hear the first, what, 30 seconds of a song and know pretty much what I’m getting thereafter.“

Read full interview here.

Smooth, Phil, real smooth. You could be a character on The Big Bang Theory.

iHELLYEAH

Even though I have serious doubts that any member of Hellyeah can use a smartphone, they have released a free iPhone app. Isn’t that sweet?

If you have both an iPhone and horrible taste in music, make sure you get it here.

I thought Vinnie had gone creative and created an app that displays the nearest Jack Daniel’s shop or something… I was wrong, all it has is some BUY buttons for their songs and a bunch of other crap.

Make the jump for some screenshots I stole, it doesn’t really look promising but hey, what do I know? All I’m saying is, are Hellyeah fans actually likely to own an iPhone? I mean, shouldn’t they be doing stuff with Nascar or pickup trucks? Just saying, cater to your target audience.

Get your speedos ready, England!

The underwear models of metal, Manowar, have announced a show in Birmingham, England.

It will happen on the 27th of March next year at the O2 Academy, so wash your ‘Conan The Barbarian’ outfit and get ready!

It’s unknown, as of right now, whether they will add more dates and make an U.K. tour out of it. It is also unknown how four grown men can wear those outfits in public.
