Judas Priest farewell tour footage
The first load of crappy fan-shot videos of Judas Priest‘s farewell tour have made their way onto the interwebz thanks to today’s amazing technology (all this technology though, and it still hasn’t found me a girlfriend).
The footage, which is taken from Judas Priest‘s June 22, 2011 performance at the Gods Of Metal festival in Milan, Italy, can be seen both above and after the jump, because we’re just that damn awesome. Breaking The Law can be seen above. Rob Halford doesn’t sing the song, because I guess he’s tired or something huh?
More footage, as well as the setlist, can be found after the jump of doom. Or just jump if you prefer.
Hear the new Anthrax song
It’s been long enough, but finally a brand new fucking Anthrax song is available for your listening pleasure. And that can only mean the new album isn’t far off. Well September 13th kind of “not far off” which actually is fairly far off, but not in terms of Anthrax albums.
You can listen to the new Anthrax song ‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ by going to the band’s website here and entering your email address to be sent a download link. That’s right, no shitty YouTube streams, you get the real deal with Anthrax.
But if you like shitty YouTube streams, see below.
Did I download it? Of course I did. The song kicks major ass, and Belladonna’s vocals are sounding awesome. Make sure you check out the song for yourselves.
Metalheadlines: Thursday edition
Well well well, another headlines post, this time even less interesting than the last one, so let’s get rollin’, shall we?
Zack Vengeance (sounds like a FPS game character) of Avenged Sevenfold (pictured above) was interviewed. If you think that’s bad, wait till you hear this: They also filmed it. So make the jump and watch the two part interview, if you’ve got nothing going on in your life.
Steelheart will release a new album in February. Who are Steelheart? I have no idea. I just wanted to include an obscure news post into this bitch.
Suicide Silence are pretty confident that they’ll outlast the Deathcore genre. At least that’s what they say in this interview. I’m pretty confident that not many people know who they are, anyway, so what’s there to ‘outlast’?
NAMM International will try to find the ‘World’s Fastest Drummer‘ at this year’s NAMM show in Nashville. I think the world’s fastest drummer also needs to have the world’s least sensitive eyes, because I just went to the official site of this contest and it’s just filled with high contrast images and bullshit animations that gave me retina hemorrhoids. Awful website.
Mountain guitarist Leslie West will probably not climb mountains anytime soon. That’s because he’s had a portion of his leg amputated due to diabetes. If you want to hear him talk about the experience, listen to his interview with Howard Stern after the jump.
All I know about Bush is that the lead singer is banging Gwen Stefani. That’s it. I don’t even know what genre their music falls into, but I’m pretty sure they have no place on a metal site. Which is exactly why I’ll report that they got a new song out. Why would we care? Cause it’s free, and if it’s one thing we love here at Dose Of Metal, is FREE STUFF. Sends us some, by the way.
DJ Ashba will help Axl
“Help Axl with what exactly?”, I hear you cry. Help him by reading a bedtime story at night? Help him plait his hair?
Nope, according to a recent interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, DJ Ashba is ready to help Axl with the next Guns N’ Roses album. Well, you are the guitarist right Ashba? I mean, that is your job right? Unless what you’re saying is the current iteration of Guns N’ Roses is actually an Axl Rose solo project masked as Guns N’ Roses, but that couldn’t be right, could it?
Either way, be prepared to spend the next 14 years working on it Asha.
Tony Iommi is Metal and proud
The West Midlands of England is the Global home of Metal, with such inspirational acts as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Napalm Death, and the best of them all, Mark from Dose of Metal, hailing from the region. Because of this, the area is celebrating its heritage and roots through a new project called “Home Of Metal”.
“Home Of Metal – Celebrating Music From Birmingham And The Black Country” is a one-of-a-kind exhibit celebrating 40 years of heavy metal and its unique birthplace. The exhibition runs until September 25 at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Birmingham, England. Unfortunately, it is with great disappointment that I announce that I have not been asked to be involved 🙁 Obviously my levels of awesomeness are too high.
Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath and Heaven and Hell was recently interviewed by the BBC and had the following to say:
“Since we were so-called inventors of this music, and coming from Birmingham and all the surrounding things that are going on, it’s really great for Birmingham and it’s really great for us all,” Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi — who has been involved with the project — tells the BBC in a new podcast which can be streamed below.”
