Totally amazing Rob Zombie movie

Say what you will about his music career, but as far as his film career goes, Rob Zombie is reinventing himself with each new movie. And by ‘reinventing himself’ I mean doing the exact same thing over and over again. And by ‘movie’ I mean atrocity. So you’ll never guess what kind of movie he’ll direct next.

“The Lords of Salem” is drawn from an idea Zombie had some years back about witches executed in the 17th and 18th centuries who return to Salem, Mass., in the present day.”

Wow, witches in the present day, bitches. You thought he was gonna do a sci-fi flick or something. WRONG. It’s a movie about witches. Cancel the upcoming Oscars. I got your Best Picture contender right here.

Ronnie James Dio tribute

Tim “Ripper” Owens, of Yngwie Malmsteen and Judas Priest fame, performed a cover of “Children Of The Sea” in tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio.

This took place at Tim’s Bratislava concert, and you can watch a video of it after the jump.

Lombardo speaks

Dave Lombardo finally confirms the rumor about The Big Four tour in the States. And by confirms I mean, just confirms that it’s a rumor and nothing set in stone. He doesn’t know anything, either.

“Everybody’s gung-ho for this, including myself. Hey, we’re going to be playing coliseums or two nights at an arena. It’s gonna be huge . . . Some guy said that Metallica is going to join us and do the ‘Big Four’ here in the States. But I don’t know, it could be a rumor. I don’t know for a fact. I never heard anything from management.“

36 Canceledfists

Eskimo metal band 36 Crazyfists canceled their remaining dates due to the bad economy.

“Unfortunate turn of events for the 36 Crazyfists camp. After three weeks of the ‘Stache N Thrash’ tour, we regret the cancellation of the rest of the shows. After the fourth breakdown of our touring vehicle we have no other choice but to cancel as our financial debt has made it impossible to conitnue on“ is what they wrote on their Facebook page (don’t worry, it’s still there, Facebook is free)

On a serious note, it is pretty sad the way so many bands have to cancel concerts due to poor ticket sales. Why is no one showing up anymore? Full article here.
