Best-Wylde tour
Zakk Wylde will be touring Best-Buy stores all across the country (I’m exaggerating, it’s only 3) to promote his new cd, signature guitars, etc… BYOB!
Dates after the jump.
Van Halen to the rescue!
The fatcats are hoping Van Halen and other bands will ‘save’ the concert industry next year.
“Live Nation executive chairman Irving Azoff told analysts the industry is “still not seeing a consumer recovery” in ticket sales, but he was optimistic about next year, specifically mentioning Van Halen and Fleetwood Mac as two acts that could lift ticket sales out of the doldrums.“
It’s a good plan, as nostalgic old farts are the perfect target audience for concerts. I only have one question… Who the hell are Fleetwood Mac?

Mr. Piggy goes to town
Rob Zombie bassist and Muppets aficionado Matt Mongomery, also known as Piggy D, released a new solo single entitled “Can’t Blame You.”
If you’re one of the 2 people interested in his solo work, we’ve got great, great news. I mean really awesome news. Stellar even. He’s gonna release a new single every month from now on…
BUT WAIT. THERE’S MORE! You thought that was it, didn’t you? Ah, silly sausage… Piggy‘s got more for you… Not only will he release a buttload of singles, but he’ll also make a video for each one. Now isn’t that just amazingly amazing? It is. I’m so excited.
God works in mysterious ways
Christian metal band and sci-fi readers Confide are calling it quits. Not until they play some farewell dates, of course, cause why would you not milk your disbandment?
“It’s hard to see Confide end [no it isn’t], but we know that God has a new chapter for our lives right now [no he doesn’t]. Every member of the band remains friends [doubtful] and the band breaking up was not due to any one person — it was a group decision.”
The comments within the brackets are our own little notes. Well, mine, don’t want to give credit to the whole team for something I’ve written myself. Why would I? Fuck ’em.
When asked if getting haircuts which won’t get them bullied in school was part of God’s new plan for them, Confide had no comment.
New songs!
Don’t get excited, you probably don’t care about these two Nordic bands. We don’t. Well, I don’t. But then again, I don’t care about anything except bestiality porn, so you might want to find a different standard to compare yourself to. Although I do have awesome genitals. More on that, later.
For now, Danish metal band Descensus (pictured above) released not one but TWO songs online. OMFGWOWZA!!11– They’re called “Death Affection” and “Slaves Of Conformity” and they can be found on the band’s MySpace page.
Not to be outdone, Finnish metal band O X i S T (stands for zero exist, get it? got it? great. awesome) also released some song called “Old World Vanished” on their MySpace page.
Metal/humor website Dose of Metal also have a MySpace page now. They aren’t releasing shit and probably hate you, but befriend them nonetheless or forever burn in hell.
