Tony Iommi will score a horror film
A few years ago, Tony Iommi and Next Films sighed some papers together for a horror movie named “Black Sabbath.” Guess who’s writing the score…
“[I will] either [be] redoing some of the Sabbath stuff in more of a different vein, maybe, and [writing] some new stuff. So it’s open. We haven’t actually gotten to the movie part yet where I can say, ‘Oh, I can see this bit on this.’ And that’s another interesting project for me to have a go out. I like a little bit of a challenge. I might be really crap at it, I don’t know.“

Not the biggest fan of horror movies, but fuck it, I’ll watch this when/if it comes out.
I’m pumped for the reunion, too.
Lemmy is honest about his looks
Lemmy is not the most handsome guy in the world, but his moles have been licked by more women than I have masturbated to, so I give the guy a lot of credit.
In a recent interview with Daily Record, Lemmy said women are not as keen on sleeping with them as they once were…
“Women don’t go to extreme lengths to get at Motorhead no more. We’re too ugly and old. […] Gene Simmons of Kiss slept with 5000 and took pictures of them all and put them on his fridge I didn’t take pictures of all of mine because I started before there was Polaroids.”

Haha, this guy would make a fortune writing one-liners for t-shirts. 1,000 women, imagine that. I only slept with about 800, so I’m behind Lemmy, but getting there.
Keep up the good work, Lem. Get to that 2,000 number.
Amy Lee fell. Dose of Metal laughed.
Amy Lee tripped and fell down at an Evanescence gig in New York. This is exactly why women need to stay in the kitchen.
You can watch the incident in the video above, at around 3:40.
To be fair to her, not only did she trip on the floor mat, but she also kept going like a pro. So kudos to her, I just can’t help it when I see the opportunity for a few sexist jokes.
Trivium go acoustic again
Trivium go acoustic again, and they want you to hear them do an acoustic rendition of their ‘Built To Fall’ song, so I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna embed it here and force you to do so.
The original song has a video which has been released a few days ago, and you can read my amazing comments on it right here. You can also read Mark’s review of their latest album here. We’ve covered this band more than we should have, apparently.
Anyway, my opinion on this acoustic song is: I have no opinion, cause I haven’t listened to it.
But hey, you go ahead!
GWAR gwo on as if nothing happened
GWAR lost a band member, but let’s not get that in the way of touring… I mean, careers first, right?
Let’s see what GWAR‘s frontmonster has to say about this:
“As the singer of GWAR and one of his best friends, I feel it is my duty to try and answer some of the questions that surround his tragic and untimely death. I know the sense of loss and pain is far greater in scope than in the insulated environment of a band on tour, and I will do my best to provide what clarity and comfort I can.“
Singer, eh? Someone’s a bit full of himself… Anyway, moving on:
“As we work our way through these difficult days the question is — what will GWAR do? After a lot of consideration, we have decided to carry on with the tour. Although the great temptation would be to return home, curl into a fetal position, and mourn, we can’t do that. First off, Cory wouldn’t want that. He would want us to go on and would be pissed if we didn’t. Plus we know the fans don’t want us to quit. They are going to want a chance to come to grips with their loss, and there is no better place to do that than at a GWAR show. Though it’s hard to believe, I think we all would feel a lot worse if we stopped.”

Okay, here’s what I think. I think this is strictly a business decision, and this guy is trying to cover it up. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think a band should just stop because of a tragedy like this, and I do agree that almost no musician who passed away would ever want for his life’s work to just stop because of him. So I understand that bands need to go on.
But something about just continuing with a tour in times like these just doesn’t sit well with me. Not that I think canceled dates are a good idea, since a lot of fans might be annoyed, but I don’t know, take a few months off, pay your respect, bury him, then go on.
Not trying to be an asshole about it, but it feels like they said ‘What’s done is done, let’s just keep getting paid!’
I am in no way trying to say that the members of GWAR are not feeling sad or anything, I’m actually pretty sure this is probably not their decision. But the whole thing reeks of disrespect to me, so I won’t buy their excuses.
People used to laugh at Slipknot for taking so long to ‘move on,’ but they look pretty good right about now.
