Machine Headshot

Phil Demmel, Machine Head‘s guitarist, got a shoe to his machine head two days ago in Belgium. Then he got pissed and walked off.

Some dumbass threw it, and he’s either a really good thrower, or a very lucky one. Either way, I don’t endorse throwing shit at shows, but I do endorse capital punishment for people who do that. Still, the jokes I could write about the word ‘head’ in the band’s name and the shoe that hit it… Damn… This is a goldmine.

Anyway, I wanted to take that video and add the most appropriate sound effect ever, but I am way too lazy. So here, play this exactly as the shoe hits his head:

Corey Taylor disses Scott Weiland

Corey Taylor, the guy who released a Christmas song last year AND begged people on the internet to get it to #1, is now accusing Scott Weiland of selling out because he put a Christmas album out. Awesome.

“More and more people are only interested in money than fucking doing anything that’s good. I’m not saying everyone, but there’s a lot of fucking people out there who would rather just take your money and leave you with nothing,” he warned the audience. “I’ll give you another example. Does anyone know who Scott Weiland is? Do you know that Scott Weiland has a Christmas album now? Oh, it’s bad. It’s bad.“

Well, at least he didn’t call him a lazy piece of shit. Oh wait…

“There is a video online of him singing, and he’s very serious. ‘Cause Christmas is serious. His hair is all slicked back and he’s in his shitty tuxedo […] and I’m just like, ‘Why?’ It’s not that he’s a bad singer, ’cause he’s not. I love STP, I love some of the shitt that he did with Velvet Revolver. It’s not that he’s a bad fucking singer. He’s a lazy piece of shit, is what he is at this point.“

Corey seems to have an opinion on anything and everything, so hey, more power to him if he wants to do the whole ‘musician feud’ thing which is so 1999.

BUT, why invoke a Christmas album as a reason for selling out, when he did a Christmas song himself? It’s like Dino Cazares making fun of Michael Moore for eating too much.

Dave Mustaine can solve the world’s problems

Dave Mustaine doesn’t care for “Occupy Wall Street,” because the guy clearly ‘gets it’ and ‘sees the big picture.’ He also calls Michael Moore fat.

“Everyone needs to shut up about this whole Occupy Wall Street thing. I think the protesters have very good intentions, but it’s an example of good being misled. The President is setting these guys up to be dead in the road. Everyone should protest at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue if they want some change. I also really hate some of these bleeding hearts, like Michael Moore, the fat dude who does these exposés. We don’t need more of that; we need lower taxes and governments that listen.“

If you think Dave is not onto what the government is trying to do, think again. He got the master plan figured out.

“My current fixation is that I’m sadly mesmerized by watching the news and how the government is destroying this country. It’s pretty obvious to me that they’re trying to get rid of the middle class. It also seems like we’re moving more towards a single world currency, and I find that very frightening.“

DAVE MUSTAINE 2012!!! YES HE CAN!

By the way… Did I make a full HOPE poster with Dave? Of course I have. See it after the jump.

Judas Priest rig rundown

Ever wondered what Judas Priest‘s rig was like during their Epitaph tour? Well, me neither, but watch the video, dammit.

Another one after the jump.

Nikki Sixx to release two books we won’t read

Nikki Sixx is a lot of things… Bassist… Karate flying kicker, Amy Winehouse fan, Bret Michaels non-fan, and apparently an author, too.

But not just any writer, like, you know, one of those unhip doofus writers who only write one book at a time. Nope, brother done got started on TWO books, son… Fo’ shizzle, yo… Wesside.

One book will be released the upcoming summer (around May or June 2012) and the other one in 2013. It’s safe to say that neither of us at Dose of Metal plan on reading either of them, or any of his previous books for that matter. Why?

Well, for one thing, we don’t really read — if you couldn’t figure that out already by our poor grasp of the English language.
Two, it’s Nikki Sixx. I wouldn’t touch anything he’s released with a wooden pole. Or is stick? Or maybe… Woodden Stikk?

Anyway, here’s what Nikki had to say about his books on Facebook:

“Neither book is like anything i have done before […] I pride myself on not writing the same book over & over and also not using a ghost writer… Of course it takes longer, but raw honesty through words is what I am driven to publish… After I get it all out on paper I use a trusted editor to help me carve it into a palatable experience…“

If he’s really not using a ghost writer, that’s pretty cool. Of course, the term ‘ghost writer’ usually implies not admitting it, so unless we give him a lie detector test, how can we ever be sure?
