Daily Dose Of Metal: Megadeth
Haven’t done one of these in a while. My favorite Megadeth solo, period.
This song kicks ass, and the solo kicks even more ass. Not really a whole lot more to add, just watch the clip, fool.
Ozzy Osbourne is #winning
Later this month, Internet legend and tiger blood owner Charlie Sheen will get roasted. I am really looking forward to this, and the promo above features an Ozzy song. Not just any song, Ozzy‘s most famous one – Crazy Train.
What can I say? If there’s one musician as crazy as Charlie Sheen, it’s Ozzy. The song, the artist, everything fits.
Which reminds me, when is Ozzy getting roasted?
Anvil will tour the U.S.
Canadian metal band Anvil Lavigne are going on an American tour next month.
I have to say, I was really touched by their documentary, so I’m really happy to see these guys succeed. But I was also touched by a priest when I was little, so you can see how my judgment might be slightly clouded. Amen.
Anyway, make the jump for a full list of dates I stole got from Blabbermouth.
Rent Metallica for your birthday or Bar Mitzvah
As we told you before, Metallica had to play yet another corporate gig. Why wouldn’t they, Lars had two dollar signs surgically attached to his eyeballs back in 1990.
The video above is from that gig. It’s actually pretty massive, looks like a real concert.
Watch that nerd film the whole thing on an iPad. Doesn’t surprise me, the gig is for a website. I assume they all went for a beer-and-Android-kernel-exchange after the concert.
A Megadeth fan got arrested
It’s nice to know that while drug dealers, pimps, pedophiles, murderers and hip-hop fans roam the streets with no problem, police is pretty vigilant about internet trolls.
“Trevor Fenton and Pat Ryan, hosts of The MeltDown Show on HardRockRadioLive, were taking song requests on Tuesday afternoon when a listener logged into the station’s chat room as, “Watch_The_National_new_tomorrow_I_am_going_to_go_a_shooting_spree_in_Appleton_WI.”
The listener asked the hosts to play “Killing is my business . . . and business is good,” by the American heavy metal band Megadeth, writing that it would be, “good music to go postal & kill a bunce of people to.”
‘We had to take that threat seriously, we couldn’t ignore him. That was something we just couldn’t ignore and not report,” said Ryan. “It could have been a prank. But if he was serious and something happened, I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself.’“

Great job, guys. Another internet nerd is in jail, the world is that much safer now. It’s not like we can be too careful with people who want attention online.
I feel so safe knowing that police will arrest trolls at their first offense. Next stop, Blabbermouth comments.
