Can you spare $1.5 mil?
If you do, donate exactly $75,000 to Dose of Metal, cause we bust our ass each day to provide you guys with news and lulz as we make no money off of this.
With the remaining $1.425 mil, buy Jimi Hendrix‘s house.
“Janie L. Hendrix has listed for sale a six-bedroom, 5.25-bath home at 15909 48th Ave. S. in Tukwila for $1.425 million.

So we don’t know if that’s Jimi‘s actual house or not, just that his stepsista’ is selling it. Well, that’s still something, I guess. You can donate to us first, then worry about whose house this is later.
Jimi Hendrix wasn’t available for comment.
Erna and Stapp make up!
Sully Erna of Godsmack fame got pissed off and called Creed‘s Scott Stapp names. Then he apologized. Now, the victim himself, Mr. Stapp, has nothing but love and respect for the guy. Pheew, I’m glad this publicity stunt fight is over.
“Sully,I have nothing but love, forgiveness & respect for you bro. Keep rocking & I look forward to catching your show in FL w/my son Jagger. Rock on“ said Stapp on Twitter.

Aww, it’s nice to see the kids kissing and making up in time for Halloween. Maybe they can go trick-or-treatin’ together. They could dress up as proper singers!

Well, did they really need to make such a big deal out of this since the rumors have been posted quite a while ago? I guess not, but good news for the people living in that area…
Perry loves Tyler
There has been quite the publicity stunt a lot of drama in the press about Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, their fights, the disbandment, the whole shebang. But now Joe Parry has grown up and recently told an interviewer that he wishes Steven the best of luck. Awww *cue ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ chorus*
“Steven wants to spend time in L.A. and do this,” Perry says of ‘Idol.’ “He’s always talked about doing stuff like that and I think he wants to try his hand at that. Let him go at it. That’s an interesting endeavor. I hope he’s really happy doing it.“
