A time for giving

An average metalhead probably doesn’t care about Christmas, and even less about Deftones, but it doesn’t mean we can’t be nice. Everyone knows that their bass player, Chi Cheng, had a car accident which left him in a state of coma, and his family pretty much broke.

The thing you can do to contribute is to buy a song by Sol Invicto (Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter‘s side project), which is a remix of “Diamond Eyes.” I know what you’re thinking, “I might as well go and buy the new Linkin Park CD,” but this song is only $0.99, not as shit, and ultimately serves for a higher cause. Make the jump to hear a preview of the song, click here if you consider donating.

The Damned Things do care about videos (thankfully)

A few days back I posted on The Damned Things and wondered why they haven’t released a video, since their album is almost out. Well, it seems they’ve saved the best for last, the video for “We’ve Got a Situation Here” is out, and maybe it’s just the geek in me talking, but I think it’s pretty fucking awesome. Make the jump and watch it.

Interview: Mark “Barney” Greenway (Napalm Death)

Napalm Death recently stopped their tour just so Barney could do an interview with Dose of Metal. That’s how awesome we are.

Well not really (they didn’t stop the tour, but we’re still pretty awesome), we just caught him in a good time (for us, as he was sick), and he was kind enough to answer our questions. So, make the jump, and read what The Pacifier-al-kabob-urath had to say.

Groupies!

Groupies. What little boys dream of after they see a guitar in an instrument shop window. VH1 are airing a documentary on groupies this month, based on the book by Pamela Des Barres (who?), “Let’s Spend The Night Together: Confessions Of Rock’s Greatest Groupies.” We expect lots of juicy details and hope they’ll reveal how come most (glam) metal bands from the 80’s picked up tons of women, yet looked like women themselves? We also hoped it would be full of hot chicks, but these are old groupies. Oh well… Trailer after the jump.

Are you bored? Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to the rescue!

And I mean really bored? Bored-out-of-your-motherfucking-mind bored? Did you like “The Social Network?” Are you perhaps a fan of Trent Reznor? Wish you could watch a 45 minute video of him and Atticus Ross discussing their horrible soundtrack for the movie?

If you answered yes to all of those questions, make the jump. From the rooftop of a 20 floor building.
