Metallica almost sold out
While most bands are forced to cancel their tours because of poor ticket sales, Metallica‘s Halifax gig almost sold all of the 30.000 tickets available.
At this point you’re probably wondering what the hell this ‘halifax’ thing is. Good question, apparently it’s a real city in Canada, according to Wikipedia. But then I went there and they don’t even know if it’s a municipality or a landform. Wut??? They’re throwing words I’ve never heard of at me. Is this even a real place?
Anyway, good to hear the guys still make a lot of money. Their live show does kick ass, so if you’ve ever heard of that place and if you think ‘about’ rhymes with ‘boot,’ you should go.
Speaking of money and Metallica though, their Monopoly game is out, so make sure you take a look and laugh at all of our puns.
If you live in California, RUN!
All kinds of evil music spirits are set to grab Southern California by the balls this September, so you’d better run the fuck away if you live in that area.
Why? Cause Epicenter will have Limp Bizkit, Staind, Papa Roach, P.O.D., Puddle Of Mudd and Five Finger Death Punch. No, I’m not making this up. Yes, you should be afraid. Yes, do touch me there.
“Limp Bizkit is back, more dangerous and contagious than ever with our original lineup, NEW album, ‘Gold Cobra’, and Epicenter to take your rock and roll fantasy past the extreme,” says Fred Durst. “I promise this will be a party you do NOT want to miss. Epicenter will be our first and only Southern California shindig. And fellas, don’t be mad that Epicenter will be filled with women…that’s how we roll.“
More info here. Poster after the jump.
The good news is that it happens on September 24, so you do have enough time to plan your escape. The band news is, well, written above.
The Judas ‘farewell tour’ has been extended
I’m going to see Judas Priest live again soon, so please don’t take this post the wrong way. But I can’t stop making fun of the way they’ve handled press for this ‘farewell tour‘ which apparently isn’t really a farewell tour.
So what do you do when you pretend your current tour is the last one? You add more dates, of course.
North Americans, you’re in luck. You’ll be able to see this band for the (not really) last time starting in late October, all the way up to early December. Tour dates after the jump. They’ll be with Thin Lizzy and Black Label Society, so it’s not all bad (except for Black Label Society).
Full list of tour dates can be found on their official page.
Weak Recap: Mark your territory
Last week’s been all about Mark. He’s posted the most posts (read: all of them) because everyone else was busy. He’s taken one for the team and spent less time watching porn and more time writing for the site.
So it seems fitting that this weekend I get to interview him and ask him what he thinks on (mostly) his posts from this week.
Actually, we just have an order of interviewing each other for this self-indulgent and shitty awesome Weak Recap thing, and it just so happens that it’s Mark’s turn to be interviewed. Last week he interviewed me.
Make the jump and read the interview with the most amazing DoM writer (after myself and the other guys).
P.S. = That’s not Mark and his girlfriend above. Mark’s girlfriend is much fatter.
R.I.P. Seth Putnam
A bit late with this, but wanted to finish posting the day’s news so this could stay on top for a while…
Seth Putnam of Anal Cunt passed away yesterday (June 11) after a heart attack. He was only 43 years old.
“I want to remind everyone that no matter how outrageous and controversial his musical career has been, Seth was still a human being with friends and family that loved him. I’m hoping that the Internet will remember that. This is a very sad and trying time for those that knew him, and the last thing they need to see is an outpouring of message board hate. The man lived and died by his own rules; if anything, respect him for that.“
– Kim Kelly, Anal Cunt’s publicist.
Not much left to say than condolences to his family, friends and fans.
