No AC/DC trading cards

Seriously, trading cards? Has the Pokemon generation grown old enough to listen to AC/DC? Not too sure what I think of this, there are more important things I’d spend my money on (like, I saw this best gift I could buy on Farmville). Official announcement of the project getting frozen:

“We regret to announce that the AC/DC product has been postponed indefinitely. We will let you know if the situation changes. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.”

Crowbar's severed hand

Crowbar is this site’s favorite tool. Why? Because crowbar’s a good measurement of a daily dose of metal to beat people over head with. The band Crowbar is not bad either, they’re just as metal, and they serve the same purpose. They have a new album, “Sever the Wicked Hand,” coming out on February 8th, 2011. Make the jump to see some album artwork and fan footage of a new song being performed.

Severed Fifth's campaign

No, the band hasn’t joined any political party, and this has nothing to do with any elections… As it has been announced on their website, Severed Fifth are campaigning to make a professional studio recording. And they need your help. In return, the band promises to keep the music free, and depending on your level of input, you get something in return. Read on for details.

Pretty Hate Stream

Nine Inch Nails‘ current rip-off project, the re-master/re-release of their first album, “Pretty Hate Machine” has been posted online for streaming. It also contains an extra track, a cover of Queen‘s “Get Down, Make Love“. Get down, check the link, and play a game of “spot 10 differences” between this and the original.

Santana's guitar is gently weeping

Because it misses some original songs, you know. And what is the one thing rock and metal musicians do when they want to show how “serious” and “mature” their music is? Hire some symphony orchestra to play random background noise to their music. What do you get when you mix these two? Carlos Santana‘s new project. Details after the jump.
