Brad Delson a multi-instrumentalist genius

The guitars may have been toned down on recent multi-conceptual masterpiece, A Thousand Suns (read our review by Alex, here), but famed Linkin Park guitarist, Brad ‘The Ripper” Delson isn’t just going to sit down during the band’s live performances.  Oh no, because Brad Delson may be a master of the guitar, but it’s not the only thing he’s a master of, as the video below shows.

Not being content as one of the greatest modern guitar players, Brad has taken on the role of also playing Keyboards in the band.  He’s now rivaling Mike Shinoda for his multi-instrumental skillz.

Some cynics might speculate that the keyboard parts are so weak and simplistic that even the guitarist can play the parts.  Or even go as far as to laugh at the fact that the band have two people playing keyboards, one person playing turntables, a bassist appearing to do nothing, and two vocalists performing some lacksture singing in a weird jamaican accent.  Not us though…  Watch the video after the jump.

Anyone know who Anthrax's singer is?

So the other day, I mocked Anthrax for their ever changing lineup of vocalists, and I have to admit I felt pretty bad afterwards.  After all, Anthrax is a legendary Thrash band, one of The Big Four.  Seems I was wrong to feel bad though, as guitarist Scott Ian admits that he isn’t even sure who the singer is.  Wow, I’m willing to bet this fills Joey Belladonna (the current vocalist… so I’ve heard) with confidence.

When asked  in a recent interview if Joey is in the band fulltime, Ian responded with “I don’t know”.

If you happen to know who Anthrax’s singer is or if you find him, please let Anthrax know.  Thanks.

Lady Gaga-reflex dances to Metallica

Ridiculous Marilyn Manson lookalike, Lady Gaga, with her equally disformed twin, Lady Starlight, attempted to gain some Metal cred, by dancing to Metallica‘s classic, Metal Militia.

When asked how she feels about ‘tallica fans that claim she has no right to be dancing to Metal Militia, Lady Gaga responded that she loves Metal and that she has more penis than Kirk.

Videos of the horrific performance can be viewed here.

Korn to perform free show in El Paso

Good news for people that still think dreadlocks and Adidas tracksuits are cool, Korn’s upcoming show on October 30th at the Speaking Rock Event Center in El Paso, Texas, will be absolutely free.

Korn are apparently doing this out of the goodness of their hearts… Definitely doesn’t have anything to do with poor ticket sales then.
