Funny Mötley Crüe bassist is funny
Whenever Nikki Sixx talks about ‘being heavy,’ I always assume he’s talking about his weight gain, followed by some bullshit excuse of how he got fat for a role. I guess I’m wrong this time, cause he’s actually talking about heavy music… Mötley Crüe and heavy music, now that’s something I’d pay good money not to see.
“My idea for a record is… We can’t depend upon radio or anything else to sell records, so I think we should depend upon what really juices us, and for me right now, I would love to make an extremely heavy, non-commercial record — more like a Shout At The Devil type of a record.“
Watch full interview after the jump.
Oh yeah, cause Shout At The Devil was an amazingly heavy album. God forbid should you return to such death metal roots.
So yeah, Nikki, we appreciate your passion for heavy music (or rather, trying to make heavy music), but the only thing heavy related to you was when your weight crushed that fan whose head you jumped on.
New batch of BS rumors
What you see above is a video interview of Jack and Kelly Osbourne, conducted by Artisan News, which they claim fuels more rumors of the Black Sabbath reunion and new material happening, despite Tony Iommi’s last week’s comments.
To be honest, all I got from Kelly is that Ozzy “is doing something that is very, very exciting,” therefore he couldn’t make the premiere of the documentary film “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne,” which to me can be anything from “actually woke up this morning” to “managed to get up and go to the toilet before taking a crap.”
Either way, somehow this made me a bit more excited about the prospect of the reunion happening, so let’s cross our fingers and wish them at least another decade of a good and healthy life, because that’s how long I presume this whole thing will need to take off.
Visions of horror
It’s a sad day when I can’t think of a good Bring Me The Horizon joke. I mean, musically at least. I’ve been through so much shitcore in the past week, that basically anything written with more than two-note riffing and less than 432 breakdowns fills the criteria for good. So, there, I (kind of) said it, their new video for Visions is good. I mean, I could probably squeeze in a few mall/Hot Topic jokes in here, but I won’t, this one’s on me.
TesseracT officially announce new singer, bass player comments
The rumors are true: TesseracT have parted ways with their singer Dan Tompkins, and recruited Elliot Coleman instead (pictured above with the rest of the band). I’ll be honest, I thought the whole thing might have been just temporary, because at one point, rumors were going on that Dan was leaving to join a pop band. Apparently, he is gone fo’ shaw, and personally, I’m not really sure what to think. Dan’s voice was (despite my earlier jokes) kinda unique (at least compared to the average djent vocalist), and I’m not sure how I feel about the new guy, but let’s not judge things based on a shitty iPhone clip we saw yesterday.
You can read the official announcement here, and Metal Sucks has conducted an interview with band’s bass player, Amos Williams, which I recommend reading (btw, just how fucked up does the new guy look on that photo they posted?). Oh, and if you make the jump, you can listen to a song with their now former singer, Dan Tompkins.
There is a God
Hallelujah, famous crapcore guyliner endorsers’ Avenged Sevenfold have announced they’re not thinking about a next album yet.
First Disturbed announced they were breaking up and now Avenged Sevenfold announce they’re not thinking about doing another album at this time. I think this year is getting better and better by the minute. Don’t you?
If you are interested in what Avenged Sevenfold ARE doing, then why not browse over to Blabbermouth before collecting your terrible taste in music award?
