Robert Zombie returns

Bad news if you live in the UK, but good news if you don’t, Rob Zombie has announced a UK tour for next year.

If you’ve been stuck in a coma for the past 12 years, and have just woken up, you may actually care. Then again, if you have a good set of ears and, you know, taste, you probably won’t.

Mr Zombie says the following:

“I am thrilled to be finally heading back to the UK. I have been away far too long, but trust me it will be worth the wait. The band is in top form and completely ready to destroy.”

Expect a lot of stage show, and little music. Dates after the jump. There’s a date near my town, but unfortunately I’m washing my hair that day.

Rejoice! Trivial Trivium are back

Good news. Everyone’s favorite trivial cover band, Trivium, are heading into the studio in December to record the follow up to 2008’s Shogun. This will also be the first release with new drummer, Nick Augusto (not pictured above).

Who will Metallica Trivium rip-off draw inspiration from next? Lol Who cares?

Fired Anthrax singer fires back

Old Anthrax singer, Dan Nelson, has slammed the band for their performance of “new” song, Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t, with new old Anthrax singer, Joey Belladonna. Confused? Yeah we all are when it comes to this band and their singers.

The original version of the song was written and recorded last year, with Dan Nelson on vocals. After he left, or quit, or was fired, the band still used the song, performing it for the “first” time (with Joey) last night (click)

Writing via his Twitter profile guitarist Scott Ian stated about the Uniondale concert, “NY show didn’t disappoint. Craziest pit of the tour! We played new one ‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ for the first time in the States.”

A short time later, Nelson took to his own Twitter profile to correct Ian, writing:

“‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ for the first time in the States, eh?? Wouldn’t that be at the Double Door in Chicago when we played the song WE ALL wrote together?? I guess Chicago is no longer in the States??”

Videos and screenshots of the tweets stolen borrowed from Blabermouth can be found after the jump.

Review: Bring Me The Horizon – There is a Hell…

There is a Hell, believe me I’ve seen it, and it’s called Bring Me The Horizon. But, believe me that’s where the jokes end. Fashioncore, you know the score right? Well, maybe not. People expect me to poke fun at Bring Me The Horizon, maybe make a few “I didn’t know this band consists of women” jokes, and generally rip the piss out of them. Prepare to be disappointed though, because a bad album, TIAHBMISITIAHLKIAS (wow, abbreviating the stupidly long title, makes it look even more stupid) is not.

I’m always objective. Let’s get one thing straight, I don’t hate bands, I hate shit music. There is a difference. I saw Bring Me The Horizon live about 4 or 5 years ago, and they were shit. Their music was shit. Therefore, I mocked them. The band, however, have undoubtedly grown since then.

So without further ado, I present my review of Bring Me The Horizon’s latest offering, There is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There is a Heaven, Let’s Keep it a Secret.

Guns N' Roses to play Israel

No, not the guys above. The guys that look and sound completely different, but seem to share the same name. I would post a picture of them, but they have like 25 recurring members, and fuck knows who any of them are.

Guns N’ Roses haven’t performed in Israel in 17 years. Although Israel won’t be seeing the band again any time soon, they will soon be “fortunate” enough to witness the shambolic performance of Axl Rose‘s band, that by coincidence happens to share the same name. Hey, they may not have Slash, but they do have like 3 guitarists taking over his role.

According to Ynetnews, Guns N’ Roses will perform two shows in Israel at the end of the year, on December 18 and 19 at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv.
