Tuesday Trivia: The one Kiss product we won’t make fun of

We’ve written extensively about Kiss products, from kaskets to kondoms. We obviously also made plenty of fun regarding them. I mean, the only reason I’m posting the trailer for their movie “Kiss Meets The Phantom of the Park” above is so you can laugh even if you find my humor weak and this article lame. Plus some of you might find that corn-fest new, so I’m doing a double job, really.

After you’ve done laughing, get ready to take a look at one thing that bears the Kiss name that I could actually check out that might not be complete shit (hence the trivia). Read on to find out what it is.

Want to hear some Judas Priest songs you’ve definitely heard before?

You’re lucky then, because AOL is streaming their best of collection “The Chosen Few” at this location. What makes this “special” is that unlike the usual procedure when the band’s staff chooses the songs to go on CD, this time it was the staff of around 15 other bands and musicians that did so, a song each. I smell a PR stunt.

I guess it’s kind of nice. I don’t know. I feel inclined to make fun of these marketing gimmicks, but it’s Judas Priest, so how lame can it be? Make the jump to find out who besides the likes of Corey Taylor and Jonathan Davis also had a say in choosing the songs for this album.

Something is rotten in the state of Belgium

I have no idea if this is old news, but I just stumbled on this clip, and wow, I learned something new today: Belgium has a scene! Suicide Silence frontman invited a bunch of kids to join him on stage at a recent show in Antwerp and boy did they do it. Let’s play a game: spot the most scene kid on there! My personal favorite is the kid in white t-shirt which comes in at about 0:35 in the video, and does a crab-seizure move, fucking hardcore.

Kidding aside, at least they had fun, and that’s what’s most important. Think about the little ones. Love, DoM.

Mike’s heart will go on… and on

Besides his heart, Mike Portnoy’s drama with Dream Theater is also going on and on and on. Even before you click on the link with the interview, let’s play a guessing game: Did he mention he’s sad because the band continued without him? Did he say he hopes to someday reunite with his former bandmates? Did he blame metal blogs for making fun of him? And did he give people more fuel for their fire when he said his heart is broken?

Yes, yes, yes and god why did he have to say it, but yes. Read the interview here, and make the jump to hear a special song relating to Mike Portnoy’s current predicament.

More Bring Me The Horizon drama

UK’s Daily Mail reports that a guy posing as Bring Me The Horizon‘s frontman Oliver Sykes attempted murder on an American girl. Now, let’s stop for a second.

Fuck the Daily Mail. Continue.

David Russel, a McDonalds employee and huge BMTH fan (the two are usually directly related) met with the victim over Facebook. We’re sure he found some roadkill to put on his head and some sticker tattoos in order to copy Sykes’ apearance. The girl then flew in to Northampton, and he took her to a forest, then slit her throat and stabbed her. Being the ultimate loser that he is, he actually still didn’t manage to kill her, because she somehow escaped. I’m thinking he probably broke a nail or something.
