Slash doesn’t understand Guns N’ Roses “hysteria”

Heineken Music recently conducted an interview with guitarist Slash, in which the “legendary” artist admits he doesn’t understand the “hysteria” and legacy that surrounds Guns N’ Roses.

Personally, I do understand the legacy, but I also kind of agree with him. Besides Appetite for Destruction, I really couldn’t give much of a crap about any of their albums… Flame me, it makes me feel horny.

You can find more on Slash and the interview over at Blabbermouth.

Dave kicked Chris Poland in the face. In a limo!

Dave may look all nice and friendly in that photo above, but apparently he kicked (former Megadeth guitarist) Chris Poland in the face.

“One night we had gone out and had two limousines at the record release party. One was for us and one was for our girlfriends and wives. We came out of the party and we were all obviously going to score [drugs]. I was grumbling and said something about Chris’ girlfriend, and he jumped across the limo to try and do something with me, and I kicked him in the face.“

In a limo! This sounds like the plot to an American Pie film, or at least a similarly atrocious National Lampoon shitfest.

Anyway, next time you’re sitting at home wondering why Megadeth changed their lineup a million times, consider being in the band and the lead singer trying to score a field goal with your head. Would you stay?

I keed, I keed, I’m sure there’s more to these stories than just random drug fights. Cocaine’s a helluva drug… Huh huh huh.

Pheew! Corey still doesn’t want to do a new album

Did we dodge a bullet, or what? Corey Taylor apparently isn’t ready for a new Slipknot album. Thank God for that, I don’t think my ears could take another one. Could yours?

“I feel better about it, but I’m still kind of on the fence. We’re taking baby steps and we’re going to take our time.“

Read full article here.

Of course, that means he’s just ‘taking his time’ in the press and that he will, eventually, record a new album. Knowing this industry and the lack of money around it, every band is reuniting and releasing shit.

So our luck will run out and a new CD will be out. Mark my words, folks.

Bruce Dickinson turns down UK The Voice

Hot off the news of Nergal of Behemoth apparently being offered a slot as a judge on the Polish version of ‘The voice’, Bruce Dickinson has reportedly been asked to be a judge on the UK version of the show, set to debut next year.

Only, Bruce Dickinson turned the offer down and had the following to say:

“That show sounds so crap and demeaning to everyone involved, I took great delight in turning the BBC down. ‘The X Factor’ is appalling enough, it’s no better than ‘Opportunity Knocks’.”

What do I think? Honestly, good for fucking Bruce. I’m not even going to begin ranting against these shows, because I’ve said it a million times before, but is Bruce cynical? All I know is the man has some integrity and good for him for not accepting every shitty offer that comes his way just to gain a wod of cash. Whatever your opinions are on reality talent shows, you have to respect a man for not compromising his views  for a bit of publicity and money. Remember, this isn’t the first time Bruce has turned down such an offer. He was also recently asked to judge on Britain’s Got Talent.

Megadeth debut new song live

Love festivals, but just can’t quite make it off your ass to actually go to one? Luckily for you, there are people who pay $250 and up, to stand and watch the festival through their mobile phones and compact cameras, and then post the mediocre footage to Youtube.

Snide remarks aside, the above footage isn’t actually that bad though, and you get to hear the live debut of a brand new Megadeth song, taken from their forthcoming album Th1rt3en. The new song is called ‘Public Enemy No 1’

In other news, Staind called and they want their album name back. As does 1999 and the whole Nu Metal genre.
