How Lou Reed made Femmetallica cry
It’s more Metallica & Lou Reed shinfo time, guys. This time it’s kinda funny though, because we get to hear what makes Kirk and James cry like little girls.
Hammett tells Pulse of Radio: “I had just lost my father three or four weeks previously. I had to run out of the control room and I found myself standing in the kitchen, sobbing away.
James came into the kitchen in the same condition, sobbing too. It was insane. Lou managed to take out both guitar players in Metallica in one fell swoop with his amazing poetic lyrics.”
The lyrics in question are: “Say hello to Junior Dad, the greatest disappointment – age withered and changed him.”
I can’t really comment on the lyrics because I’m not in the same situation as those guys (James’ father left their family when he was 13). Still, I can kinda imagine the scene and it makes me chuckle a bit. I mean seriously, with the album title such as Lulu and stories like these, they might seriously consider changing their name to the one in the title. Oh well, I’m going to hell anyway, so I’m taking some of you with me.
Korn names their new album. Dude, like, totally.
Korn‘s new brostep/nu metal project just got named, and holy shit, it blows. I mean, it sucks more than Korn III: Remember Who You Are. It even sucks more than that time they couldn’t figure out a title for an album. Without further ado, their new album is called *drumroll*
The Path to Totality
Totality of what? Massive suckage? Well, they’re on the right path if that’s the case.
Anyway, the album’s release date has been pushed to November 15, to allow time for promotion, videos etc. Their tenth studio album began as an idea for a collaborative EP with today’s hottest dubstep producers, and since has grown into a full-blown studio effort. More info after the jump.
Worship Samples
Anthrax‘s highly anticipated new album, Worship Music, hits the stores September 13. That much we know. What we didn’t know and were highly anticipating is, who exactly would the singer on the album be. And wow, it is Joey after all!
Sorry, but I feel like we haven’t made an Antrhax singer joke in a while. That explains the photo above as well. In case you still can’t believe it for yourself, you can find samples for the entire album over at JPC.de. I’d tell you something about it, but as soon as I saw that tracks were labeled Track 1 through Track 14, my OCD got over me and I closed that tab.
3 Inches of Blood guitarist wants to be your pet dinosaur
Justin Hagberg, the guitarist for 3 Inches of Blood, and his kinda kinky looking graphic designer girlfriend Rheanna Olson, want to be your pets! Isn’t that cute? The couple have offered to pretend to be dinosaurs for a full year, taking 24 hour shifts, doing absolutely anything (except sex stuff… aaaw), in exchange for a house ownership in Vancouver. Those silly Canadians.
The couple apparently thought of the idea after seeing an ad for a house in Vancouver selling for one million dollars, so as the response to the high prices they came up with the their own ad and put it up on Craigslist. You can watch a news report here, and since the original ad has since expired, I’ve found a copy of the text, which you can read after you make the jump.
Mustaine says collab with Metallica should be for charity
…and the only thing I keep wondering is, who would be on the receiving end? Dave himself? No, I’m kidding, that’s just mean. In case you’ve somehow missed it, Dave talked about wishing to form a supergroup with Lars and James. He’s recently spoken with The Phoenix, and he shares more thoughts about the possible collaboration:
“I think James and I and Lars and David should do a record together and see what happens. Not as a band or anything like that, but something to donate the money to charity.”
Aaaaw, how sweet would that be? On a serious note, a thought of a Metallica 2.0, or Metallica: The Reboot does sound way more interesting than “Lulu.” Actually, I just farted and the noise was more metal than the name of that project.
Read the entire interview for more of Dave’s thoughts on today’s metal, first Big Four gig, usual yada yada on drugs, and his kids having weird Metallica-like names.
