HELLNO
I actually had some news regarding the “cowboy metal” band Hellyeah. But then I found the picture above. As if having two Mudvayne members isn’t enough to poke fun at, for some reason they thought this image would work outside of Playgirl audience. Horror repeat after the jump.
Meeeeooooow
Look what the cat dragged in…
Okay, bad puns aside, seems that Kittie is still alive and well. We couldn’t care less either, but if you’re actually interested in seeing what they’re up to lately, make the jump and check out the video interview with Mercedes Lander.
Dave Navarro: Eco-terrorist
Is low IQ contagious? Because it seems Dave Navarro caught some from his ex-wife Carmen Electra, and joined the “noble” cause of PETA. He will be honored on their 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards, just like many hypocrite celebrities before who’ve used this to boost their damaged careers. Well, we hope he gets treated like the animals PETA saves.
He also (very vaguely) tried to explain what’s going on with his band Jane’s Addiction, which for years now seems to be stuck in a cycle of breaking up, reforming, changing line-ups, and not releasing any music. You can read about it here.
And, if you’re feeling particularly brave today, make the jump and see the meaningful and tastefully done PETA promo poster with Navarro himself. Be warned because it’s neither of the two.
Guitar Heroes
Having effectively flushed his solo career down the toilet, Chris Cornell and the reformed Soundgarden are eager to announce a “groundbreaking” deal that will bring their “new” album, entitled Telephantasm, to the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock video game, one week prior to the launch of the album. “Awesome”. If you’re too lazy to pick up a real instrument and want to hear some crappy b-sides, click here for more info.
But why is Slash in the picture above, one might ask?
Well, it seems our favorite clown has been truly busy lately. Amongst other thrilling activities, which you have been able to read about here at Dose of Metal, he’s found time to get involved with Jimi Hendrix: Guitar Hero DVD. Fortunately for us, this is not another Guitar Hero game. Unfortunately for us, someone thought Slash was a good choice for a narrator. Blasphemy, we know.
Read more about the DVD here, view trailer for it after the jump.
Shocking news: Kiss sells out
Kiss, the band whose make-up expenses are so huge that they constantly need to reinvent themselves in selling out, have appeared in a commercial for a Swedish gaming operator.
More details on the arrangement that surprised everyone here.
