I fancy a suckfest
A suckfest sounds like my kind of evening. Just me (well ok and maybe a few other guys), 10 chicks lined up. It would be my dreams come true.
So imagine my disappointment when I discover that “suckfest” isn’t what I thought it was.
MetalSucks, in conjunction with Live Nation, has announced The Metal Suckfest. The festival will take place at New York City’s Gramercy Theater and will feature 20 bands over the course of two days, November 4 and November 5. Municipal Waste will headline the first night, while Cynic will close the festival the following evening. The remaining acts will be revealed soon.

Municipal Waste are cool, but I still say that’s blatant false advertisement dammit. Oh well, back to porn.
Another Dave McClain video interview
Yesterday we posted a video interview with Dave McClain. You can view another video of McClain above.
In this video, McClain shoots his way through a building, killing terrorists and saving hostages. It’s gripping stuff.
Apologies, that’s actually the plot to ‘Die Hard’ (at least I think it is, my mom only lets me watch PG-13 films). John McClane Dave McClain is the drummer of Machine Head, he probably actually speaks about the new album, Unto Locust, and it probably isn’t as exciting as ‘Die Hard’. By now I’m assuming you’ve already clicked play and know what the interview is about though, so I figured it would be pointless telling you what he says (read – I didn’t watch it).
Tony Iommi comments on reunion rumors
According to the official Black Sabbath Facebook page (Ozzy knows how to use a computer? bands from the 60’s have Facebook?), the legendary guitarist, Tony Iommi, has commented on the rumors that have spread around the internet today in regards to a Birmingham newspaper claiming the band had reformed (click for more).
Tony has said the following:
“I’m saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Sabbath reunion.
Thanks to the internet it’s now gone round the world as some sort of “official” statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he’s enjoyed his moment of glory, he won’t have another”
Wait… So the band are or aren’t reuniting?
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath – a reunion in the works?
Could this be the comeback of the decade? Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and the walking dead (Ozzy duh) have reportedly reunited Black Sabbath, with a new album to follow next year.
*fap* *fap* *fap*
Ok, so Ozzy has the vocal range of Steven Hawking, and as many brain cells left as I have pubes, but you just know that musically this should be fairly awesome. Well it’s got to be better than Black Veil Brides and the rest of the shit that’s currently clogging up Metal magazines’ space.
One thing I will put out there… Take this with a grain of salt. Allegedly Tony Iommi has confirmed to Birmingham Mail that the band have reunited, but Metal Hammer are claiming that nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Get even more news over at Blabbermouth. I’d say this news is probably worth straying away from your porn for.
Tool guitarist joins the WWE
Tool, the “genius” band that take over five years after each album to rewrite the same album again and release it under a different name, allegedly may be working on a new album. They’re probably hard at work thinking of new and creative ways to rehash the same music.
During the long wait, Tool guitarist Adam Jones has joined the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for Summerslam. Well, I don’t mean he actually joined the WWE as a wrestler. Not that he didn’t want to or anything, it’s just Adam Jones isn’t an interesting enough name to be a wrestler. You have to have ultra mature names such as “Stone Cold” or “Miss Hancock” to make it big. So, instead Adam took the stage to perform a rendition of the U.S.A. national anthem.
You can watch a video of the performance above, unless you’re straight and above the age of 13, in which case you’ll have no interest in Wrestling.
