Ozzy’s house has fallen down, fallen down

Wash away us all!
Take us with the floods!

When playing a game of cat and mouse with Mother Nature, you never win.

Dose Of Metal exclusively reports that Blabbermouth has an article which says The Pulse Of Radio wrote something about a flood destroying Ozzy’s mansion:

Ozzy Osbourne‘s mansion in Buckinghamshire, England has been ruined by flooding during one of the U.K.’s rainiest winters ever. According to the Mirror, the house, which sits on a seven-acre estate, is located in one of the hardest hit areas of the country and now needs more than half a million dollars worth of repairs.

Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon said the building was “destroyed,” while Ozzy added, “It’s been completely flooded. The rain has battered down the walls and seeped through everything. There is water everywhere… We can’t even go about getting it fixed because apparently it’s going to take nine months to dry out. The place is ruined.”

When asked whether he’ll ever add the sound of rain again in a studio recording, Ozzy said something unintelligible which we took as a no.

Tornado of Solos

Haven’t done this in a while. Here’s one of my favorite Megadeth tracks with arguably one of the best guitar solos out there. I miss Marty Friedman, but I gotta say Chris Broderick sure knows his shit.

Cristina Scabbia is not a model!

I’ve heard many people describing (in full explicit details, mind you) what they’d do to Lacuna Coil singer Cristina Scabbia, if given the chance. I don’t blame them, but they haven’t considered the one problem: They’d also have to listen to her band. Are they prepared to make that compromise? Are they prepared to be subjected to such painful ear pain just for a piece of tail?

Anyway, Cristina herself seems pretty modest about her looks, in spite of many metalheads drooling over her like Mike Shinoda drools over an OS X update.

“This thing about the hottest chick, it’s been following me around since 2007. That’s when I was on the cover of Revolver for the first time. In one way it’s frustrating, because I’m still a singer, I’m not a model … but I can’t deny it’s flattering. It’s not a bad thing that they consider you a good looking woman. … A lot of people stay there all the time, but when they hear me singing, the problem goes away.”

Hmm, I wonder what made people talk about Cristina’s “hotness.” Could it be pictures like this? Nah, unlikely.

There’s no denying it though: She is a pretty good looking chick, even without makeup, as demonstrated by the photo above. Yes, I took it one morning and yes, we’re together.

Some player-hating jealous fucks might call me a liar and say that it’s simply a photo I took from her Instagram, but don’t believe all the internet conspiracy nuts. She is my girlfriend and I don’t care if you don’t believe me! I don’t have anything to prove to you. Shut up!

Maiden beer sells… But who’s buying?

I tried AC/DC beer and I wasn’t a huge fan. I mean, it wasn’t bad, but as a beer pro, imported Heineken from Amsterdam or an Austrian beer called Ottakringer is my poison of choice.

However, as a Maiden fan and an alcoholic, I really want to try this beer. I have yet to see it in stores though, but apparently it’s doing quite good in other places…

According to The Morning Advertiser, Trooper (that’s what the beer is called, yo!) has sold over 3.5 million pints without any promotion whatsoever from Robinsons, the company brewing it.

Well, duh. Iron Maiden is one of the most popular heavy metal bands of all time, and they have a hugely recognizable name. You can bet a lot of metalheads and dumbasses pretending to be metalheads have bought that beer just because of their name.

Try selling a Trivium beer without promotion, see where that gets ya.

White men came, across the sea
They brought us beer, for our misery…

Fieldy has a target on his face

Call me a metal elitist, but I’ve been fantasizing more about hitting nu-metal musicians in the face than about Pamela Anderson after first watching her porn tape as a teenager. And trust me, I loved that video.

So when I see my man Fieldy of KoRn sporting a huge fucking X on his cheek, I can’t help but think I’d like to hit that. With a fist. While wearing brass knuckles.

I know, some of you superstitious assholes out there might point out that it’s actually a cross. But I see a target.

I got that image from an interview which you can watch after the jump, in case you want to hear two ambiguously white dudes pretending to be black.
