Metal goes acoustic 3

So back we are again, here for another dose of Metal goes acoustic. The last couple of times I’ve treated you to some Machine Head covers, so I’m going to change things up a little this time.

For the third edition, I’m presenting a beautiful female sang, acoustic, rendition of Korn‘s ADIDAS. This version is absolutely amazing, from the slowly strung guitar chords, to the young girl’s fantastic vocals. Just tell me you can’t hear the true emotion in her voice as she sings the words “all day I dream about fucking.” It’s like Katy Perry song, with the song transformed into a Pop classic, but with some truly thought proving lyrics that you don’t expect from the Pop genre.

Overall, I would love to rate this cover, but there isn’t a single rating system that would fairly access the song’s brilliance.

Weak Recap: Third time’s a charm

Another week in Metal has gone by, and your favorite Metal site, Dose of Metal, is back to give you an awesome recap of the week. Maybe you missed something, maybe you were too busy having a life and spending time with a real girlfriend to keep up to date. Luckily for you though, there are virgins like myself, that have nothing better to do than spend every waking moment of my life on this site.

So this week, I shall be interviewing Simo. He’s awesome, he’s a place in Finland (According to Wikipedia), and my interview with himself can be found after the jump.

Children of Bodom like saunas

According to a recent interview with Children of Bodom keyboardist Janne Wirman, saunas have been very important with the recording of new album Relentless Reckless Forever.

In other news, saunas are also very important with the running of Dose of Metal. Oh yes, we all love a lot of sauna action together here too. Amazed? Fascinated? You should be.

Hannah Montana goes Metal

I don’t really know what the fuck this is. Am I still drunk? Have I slipped into some insane hallucination after drinking too much absinthe? Or maybe this is one of those wet dreams, because I can now legally fancy Miley Cyrus. Fuck knows.

Regardless, Metal Hammer recently posted some live video of Miley Cyrus with a backing instrumental that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Testament song. Is it good? No, it sounds like shit. That’s why I just muted it and played sleeping beauty instead.

GNR agree to pay late fine

We all know that Guns N’ Roses always turn up late for gigs (well, allegedly. I don’t know, because I wouldn’t go to a Guns N’ Roses gig if you paid me), so the organizers at the Rock in Rio Festival have said they will fine Axl and the band if they don’t take to the stage on time.

As fascinating as all this is, it’s not as awesome as our brilliant interview with the splendid Guns N’ Roses guitarist Bumblefoot. If you haven’t done so already, check it out here. Am I so lazy that I have to turn a new post into one about a previous interview? Yes, yes I am.
