QOTSA perform on Conan
Queens Of The Stone Age performed on Conan Thursday night… Well, not literally on Conan, just on his show. Wow, look at you horny little fuckers immediately assuming I was talking about sex. Get some help, Jesus… You’re sick.
Anyway, make the jump to see them playing “If Only” on the ridiculously hideous Team Coco player. We need our own damn player up in this biatch.
Andy McKee can play the electric guitar
So right after my interview with Andy McKee, where I asked him about his electric guitar playing and if he’d take the rhythm or lead position in a metal band, he uploaded a video of him doing a Dream Theater solo.
Coincidence? Yeah, probably, but it’s still cool.
Not that it’s a surprise that he is also great on the electric. If anything, the acoustic is much harder to play as you don’t have effects to hide behind (you know what I mean, Kirk?), but it’s still a bit weird seeing him without his deformed penis harpguitar acoustic guitar.
I hope he posts a video of him playing Master Of Puppets. Wouldn’t that be something else?
By the way, Andy became a father Wednesday. Make sure you congratulate him.
P.S. = Who photoshopped the headstock out of that video? TRIPPY, YO!
Ask Alexandria if she wants tiger blood
British metalcore band Asking Alexandria were asked to join Charlie Sheen’s ‘My Violent Torpedo of Truth’ tour.
Apparently their notorious partying ways caught the (tiger) eye of Sheen, who wanted them as his opening act.
The band, however, respectfully declined, as they have touring plans to stick to. They assured him that they also have tiger blood though, so I guess they should be best friends or something.

Friday headlines and shit…
Floridian Metallica cover band metal band Trivium (pictured above) finished recording their new album. Where do you think they recorded it? Florida, duh. There’s some footage of Matt Heafy recording vocals, so if you want to see it, make the jump off a bridge.
Unearth, the band whose name sounds like something Al Gore would preach about, are also recording an album. It’s called ‘Darkness In The Light‘ and it’s coming out this summer. I wish all bands would name their albums with an oxymoron. Can you imagine Slayer? ‘Kerry King Slim.’
Another band that starts with the prefix ‘un-,’ Unexpect, is releasing an album. It’s called ‘Fables Of The Sleepless Empire‘ and it sounds like something Peter Jackson would direct. Track listing and artwork here.
Geddy Lee of Rush is also preaching about a new album. Gee, is he gonna use new album pep clichés like ‘heavier’ and ‘diverse’? You betcha.
There is pro footage of Accept performing ‘Neon Nights’ at Hammerfest and boy, I sure ain’t excited about it. In fact, who are these guys? Make the jump for the video if you’ve ever heard of them.
Speaking of bands you’ve never heard of, Communic also have a new album out called ‘The Bottom Deep.’ I could tell you when it’s coming out and what the tracks are, but I’m not gonna. 8==D
Young kids and instruments
So this 10 year old kid decided to cover Chuck Berry on both guitar and vocals. The result? Another second degree murder.
He starts rather promising (for a kid) but then he starts ‘rocking out’ in a pretty awkward way. Then disaster strikes: he starts to sing.
God, kill me now. This is awful.
