Van Halen will make live announcement

I’ve always hated metal blogs who are basically Blabbermouth copy-pasters, but I’m quite lazy right now, so this is my tribute to them:

“Van Halen is rumored to be making a “special live announcement” at the ‘Grammy Nominations Concert Live’ in Los Angeles. The 54th annual Grammy Awards‘ nominations will be announced on Wednesday, November 30, at 10 p.m. live from Nokia Theatre L.A. Live., and will be broadcast by the CBS network.”

Special live announcement, huh? Oh boy, oh boy, I’m so anxious. Maybe they’re releasing an iPhone app or something!

Oh goody, I’m SO looking forward to the Grammy nominations concert, like WOW.

Chickenfoot perform on Kimmel

Chickenfoot performed two songs on Kimmel (well, maybe more, but it’s not like this is my thesis paper, so leave me alone, okay?).

The songs are “Big Foot” and “Three and a Half Letters.” Like the double embed thing I did above? Amazing, right?

Try playing both clips together, both sounds sound the same so, you’ll basically hear one song with a lot of echo.

Led Zeppelin reunion is not happening

Above you have an interview with Jason Bonham, who claims a true Led Zeppelin reunion is a ‘dead issue.’ Now, it’s not like we should believe a guy who just happens to be the son of Zeppelin‘s drummer, but it’s definitely not good news for people like me, who really wanted to see that band live.

Let’s hope they change their mind though, and by that I mean, let’s hope someone offers them enough money.

But hey, at least we might get a Black Sabbath reunion, right? And Down are recording vocals for a new album. So it’s not all bad.

The Metallica contest no one wants to win

400 unlucky Metallica fans will attend a performance from Lou Reed and Metallica for some radio station in Germany.

Germany gave us a lot of good music, but they also gave us Tokio Hotel, and let’s not forget David Hasselhoff’s music is popular there (so is Limp Bizkit’s), so let’s take their events with a grain of salt.

Anyway, yeah, people will be able to enter a contest to win tickets to the event, but who really wants to, anyway? We can all go to our local nursing homes with a few Metallica instrumentals, and we’re likely to get better music than Lulu.

The concert will be broadcast on 1LIVE and Metallica.de, and after it’s done airing, the recording will be available on LouReedMetallica.com. In other words, you have three sites you have to avoid.

I will do you a huge favor and will not give more details on the gig. You’re welcome.

Tony Iommi likes to do webchats

Tony Iommi answered some fan questions on LiveStream. Have I watched the clip? Not really.

I take ‘lazy’ to a whole new level, fuckers.
