Robb still loves Metallica. Clearly he hasn’t heard Lulu yet…
Revolver magazine recently conducted an interview with Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn. Much of the chat revolves around what it was like for the band opening for Metallica, his love for them, and whether he is a table or not. You can read more on the story, and view videos and photos from the tour, over at Blabbermouth.
Check out the video of James Hetfield joining Machine Head on stage to perform their masterpiece, ‘Aesthetics of Hate’, above. The performance is taken from May 2009 during the Death Magnetic tour.
GuitarWorld interviews Katatonia
If that ain’t the snappiest title yet, then call me unsnappy the unhappy dinosaur and throw me to the girls.
Aniruddh “Andrew” Bansal of GuitarWorld.com recently conducted an interview with the Swedish doom rockers Katatonia at the Mayan theater in Los Angeles, California, and you can watch the video above.

Weekly Dose of Metal: Fight
Following his shock departure from British legends Judas Priest, Rob Halford’s decision to explore other Metal territories (he was becoming far more interested in the thrash and groove styling of bands like Pantera) first became apparent in the form of Fight.
Fight‘s lineup consisted of Halford on vocals, Priest drummer Scott Travis on drums, Russ Parrish on guitar, Brian Tilse on guitar and keyboards and Jack “Jay Jay” Brown on bass guitar. The band released two studio albums in their time, both of which were critically acclaimed by the majority of the metal media and fans alike.
The track ‘Kill It’ taken from 1993’s War of Words can be heard below.
And because it’s also worth checking out, the power ballad ‘For All Eternity’ taken from the same album can also be heard. Hell, just listen to the whole album. It’s fucking brill!
The time has come… The Lulu has landed
It’s been the talk of Metallica fans and metalheads around the world for weeks. Perhaps the biggest “what the fuck?” moment in ‘Tallica‘s career yet (and there’s been a bucket load, let’s be honest), and you can finally listen to it. At last all the following questions can be answered. Maybe.
“Who the fuck is Lou Reed?”
“Why are Metallica doing this?”
“Will it be worse than St Anger?”
“Am I a table?”
“If a tree falls in a wood and no one is around to hear it, will I be a table?”
The entire album can be streamed at the Lulu official site. Listen at your own risk…
The Chosen Few sells 1,300
Selling just 1,300 copies in its first week in the United States, it seems it was only a chosen select few that were interested in Judas Priest‘s The Chosen Few.
Maybe people just didn’t give a shit what Jonathan Davis’ (*cough* PA’s) favorite Judas Priest song is?
