As I Lay Dying’s Decas is out – I had no fucking idea

Turns out that As I Lay Dying released their cheap cash-in EP this past week (or last week – what am I? Your teacher?), which consisted of covers no one wanted to hear, remixes no one wanted to hear, as well as a couple of new tracks, again, no one wanted to hear. I didn’t really realize, as, well, I’m too busy getting laid and working a job.

The funny thing? It managed to sell over 9,500 copies in its first week, which is a bit shit, but not that many less than Lulu.

You can listen to ‘Paralyzed’, taken from the new EP, above. I tried listening to it myself, but for some unknown reason it fucked up after 10 seconds, which I took as a sign I shouldn’t listen to it. Thanks God. Now if you can just sort it out for Katy Perry to be in my bed when I wake up, like I asked for in my prayer weeks ago, then all would be cool. Amen.

Devin Townsend likes it big

Devin Townsend is currently planning the biggest show of his career, set to take place next October in London (wow, in my country? Awesome). Who knows, maybe between now and then my girlfriend might have texted me back.

This news comes after last week’s highly successful the Devin Townsend Project shows in London. Devin commented:

“So here’s the next big gig: Next October 27th, at the amazing Roundhouse in London, We’re putting on the most definitive ‘Devin‘ show to date. A culmination of my ENTIRE career with a star lineup and full supporting cast. The show is being called ‘The Retinal Circus’, (named after an old Vancouver club in the ’60s, famous for psychedelic rock shows) and will be more than just a musical performance… there will be an art exhibition, actors, Ziltoid, stilt walkers, fire breathers… you name it.”

Wait a second… art exhibition? Stilt walkers? Jeeze, I just want to go to a metal gig, have a few drinks, maybe punch a few kids and hopefully see some tits at the end of it. I don’t need any art crap thanks.

Watch a Down concert without moving your lazy ass

If you’re too lazy, or cheap, or live too far away, to go to a Down concert then this is your lucky day. I’m pretty much your fairy god mother, only more foul-mouthed and less friendly (plus my balls are hairier).

Start by watching the video above, (taken from the band’s performance at SWU Music And Arts Festival on Monday, November 14 in  Brazil) then make the jump for the rest of the concert.

Even DJ Ashba wants an original GNR reunion

Current Guns N’ Roses guitarist, DJ Ashba (lol he’s a DJ), recently spoke to Tree Riddle of Flint, Michigan radio station Banana 101.5 Rocks.

An excerpt from the chat can be found below:

Banana 101.5 Rocks: Guns N’ Roses is nominated for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this year and there is a lot of talk about an original lineup reunion. Usually Axl doesn’t address that topic out of respect for you guys because he is happy with the band he has now — but if a reunion did happen, would you be offended?

Ashba: No, not at all. I get asked that a lot and my honest opinion is that I don’t ever foresee that happening, to be honest, just from what I know. But I would be the first person in line to buy a ticket, that’s for sure. So I have no problem with it whatsoever.

Awesome, in case you were worrying Axl, that DJ you hired to play guitars has given you his blessing. Now hurry up and call Slash so all the 15-year-olds have something to get excited about.

Apologies, I was writing the above sentence with just one hand… I’m also joining the Official Sabbath page in misspelling words (look at their spelling of “conference”).
