The Damned Things posted a new song online
Two weeks before their debut album is about to… debut, The Damned Things have posted a new song called “Little Darling” online. I thought they’d do some more promotion (like a video) since the release date is so close, but I guess they don’t give a shit about videos. Neither do I. Or they think Anthrax, Every Time I Die and Fall Out Boy fanbase’s word of mouth is enough of a promotion. I don’t know, I’m not a music industry analyst. All I know is that there was a time when the word of mouth of those three bands in the same sentence would grant you a foot in mouth.
Go here to listen to the song.
Holidays are around the corner
And why not make them more interesting? This is not really news, and not really new, but definitely metal. Want to see Slayer‘s Raining Blood song synced to Christmas lights on some dude’s house? Make the jump for the video. Have your own way of making holidays more metal? You make the devil’s horns instead of gingerbread men? Let us know. And send us some of those cookies.
Nikki Sixx madde itt
Nikki Sixx has finally made something of his life. No, he didn’t manage to make Mötley Crüe less sucky. Speaking of which, I probably should have added umlauts to the post title, thus making the pun twice lamer. His real success is his radio show, Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx, which is doing pretty well.
In the nine months that Nikki Sixx’s radio show, Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx , has been on air, the Mötley Crüe bassist has already celebrated many triumphs – such as, welcoming rock heavyweights Ozzy Osbourne, Slash and Dave Grohl as guests of the show – but this one takes the cake: Sixx’s show has now hit the 50th affiliate mark.
When asked why he agreed to appear on his radio show, Ozzy mumbled something about Nikki collecting old debts. And Nikki was seen driving off the show with a fresh bag of heroin in his pocket.
Tuesday Trivia: A friend in need’s a friend indeed
Who says black metal is all about the negative stuff? There are a lot of things that celebrate true friendship — group church burnings, arian gangs and satanic cults, just to name a few. Read on for details on one such story.
Kick the baby remix
We’ve already written about Kirk Hammett‘s incident with the ball and a little girl’s face. Twice. Since we’re so original, we’re going to do it again. Someone must have thought that the only thing wrong with the previous video was the horrible background noise (aka Metallica), so they’ve edited it. Say goodbye to Metallica, say hello to kung-fu movie type of sound effects. Video after the jump!
