Greg and Max are pissed off
We’ve covered Greg Puciato’s and Max Cavalera’s collaboration project before, and now, we’re gonna do it again. Why? Because we can and you can’t do anything about it.
Anywho, recently the band was demoing new songs, and Max had the following to say about it to Roadrunner.com:
“Everybody ask me, ‘Hey Max, are you gonna do another Nailbomb?’ and the answer is always No, because we killed Nailbomb on purpose. So when Greg approached me with an idea of a project, I said I’ll do it, but it has to be like Nailbomb. I’m gonna share the vocals with Greg. We’re gonna have a bunch of killer guest musicians, and it’ll be the closest thing to a Nailbomb experience. I promise you it is going to be heavy as fuck, angry as fuck, and aggressive as fuck. Me and Greg are pissed off and we’re coming your way!!!!”
Wow, heavy, angry and aggressive. All three as fuck. I am sort of looking forward to this, unlike Max’s three past albums. Hopefully he let’s Greg write some of the lyrics along with letting him sing. Then again, we’re talking about a guy who has “KILL POSERS” written on his Twitter profile picture, which is angry alright… For a 13 year-old. Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy as a musician (and especially his stage presence, just look at that clip), but maybe Max manages to get the worst of him. Seems to be his biggest skill nowadays.
Beat it, John 5
John 5, the “awesome” guitarist that plays in not-so-awesome bands (ex-Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie), has a new album coming out. No one knows exactly why, but he’s offering the first single for purchase on Amazon, and it’s a cover of Micheal Jackson’s hit Beat It.
You can hear a preview there, and while the song sounds decent, his announcement for the new album isn’t:
I have an album called ‘God Told Me To’ [coming out] and it’s half heavy and it’s half acoustic, which I’ve never done before. I’m doing a cover of Michael Jacksons’s ‘Beat It’, an instrumental version of it. And it’s gonna be amazing. I’m really excited about this record ’cause of the acoustic stuff, ’cause I’ve never done that before. And it’s gonne be awesome. I’m so excited for this to come out. I think I’m gonna put a [making-of] DVD out with it. People always like to see how I do things and stuff.
Usually when someone throws around words like awesome and amazing, it’s us, talking about this site. And that’s cool because we’re a bunch of assholes and we admit it. This guy is actually serious. You can see the cover for the single after the jump.
Tuesday Trivia: Metal connection #2 – Will Smith
Now this is a story
All about how Tuesday Trivia
Got twisted upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how Dose of Metal started covering
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Yeah, my rap skillz are off the fucking hook… We are covering Will Smith for this week’s Tuesday Trivia, though. Fo’ real-real.
Did someone say “More videos?”
I hope they did, because that’s exactly what you’re getting. The one above is by Kittie, the one bellow is by Jane’s Addiction, and both of them kinda suck. Be glad the text in between is fucking amazing.
Lady Gaga and Brian May share the same stage
I.N.S.E.R.T. something that rhymes with… rage!
It hurts me to post this, but it somehow made the rock news — the queen of the land of manufactured shock antics, Lady Gaga, performed at last night’s MTV VMA’s, and Brian May of Queen joined her on stage for a guitar solo.
More importantly, though, she performed the song in her male alter ego, “Jo Colderone.” Now, I always thought she’d look normal dressed as a guy because she looks horrible in her woman outfit. Yet, this looked just as fucking weird. Plus, she tried way too hard to be funny and crack jokes about herself. Just lame.
Anyway, if you watched the VMA’s, please shoot yourself, but before that let me know if Britney Spears still scores anything at those things. #teambritney
