Corey Taylor’s newest costume: Drag
If the picture above isn’t the most metal thing you saw all day, I don’t know what is. Metal Hammer reports a fan made footage of Stone Sour‘s pre-Halloween show has surfaced, in which you can see Corey Taylor in the costume of his life: full blown, pink hair drag. Slipknot is now officially obsolete. I feel like my head is going to explode, there are so many angles to take a jab at this situation, that I don’t know which one to pick. But you gotta give it to the man, you need balls (or some other organs) to come out in front of a few thousand people dressed like that. And while I think about the best joke, you can enjoy watching the (actually entertaining) video yourself.
Firewind of Change
Greek metal band Firewind have supported Scorpions on their recent big stadium show in Athens. And yes, the only reason I’m posting this is because I couldn’t miss the opportunity of using the pun in the title . But hey, they don’t get to appear on a site as awesome as this every day, so it’s a win-win situation, really. See a few videos after the jump.
More shows? Hellyeah!
If you’re into metal and cowboys, you’re in for a treat, because your favorite band, Hellyeah, just added a few more county fairs and rodeo shows to their current tour. They’re also releasing a new single called “Cowboy Way“.
On a side note, I wonder if I could have squeezed in a few sodomy references in there… Too late for that now! Make the jump and see their December dates.
Head hit himself in the head
Brian “Head” Welch, the former guitarist for Korn, and current solo Christian artist touring bars and writing more books than he has probably read in his life, recently spent a good portion of his live show bleeding from his head. No, you can’t make shit like that up. Apparently, he banged his head against the mic stand. Hmmmm, yeah… Maybe if by “bang” he means “got in the way of” and by “mic stand” he means “an unidentified object from the audience”. Unfortunately that part wasn’t caught on video.
What’s fun is fun, but the beginning of the video you’re about to see if you make the jump goes into the “WTF” category, the guy is definitely suffering from a bit of an identity crisis, to put it nicely. He plays a few Korn songs after that, which makes it worth the watch. Or not.
Glenn Danzig doing a song for Hangover 2?
One person I will never make fun of on this page is Glenn Danzig. Why? Because he looks like he could knock me out with a single punch. Call me a pussy, but at least I can call you something in return. You know, because I’d have all my teeth in place.
Anyway, he might be doing a brand new song for Hangover 2. Awesome. Read about it here.
