Speaking of Evile…

The band have released a brand new song, ‘Eternal Empire’ for streaming. The song comes from Evile‘s forthcoming album Five Serpent’s Teeth, which, as I mentioned earlier, is scheduled for release September 26 (and much earlier in Europe).

Want to hear the new song? It’s s available for streaming at here and free e-mail sign-up is required first. I’d check it out, but I don’t have the attention span to go through that process, just embed a Youtube clip dammit!

Bret Michaels ain’t holdin’ no grudges, yo

Poison and Mötley Crüe never really got along, because you know, girls fight. They probably used different mascara brands and had an argument over it. You never know with chicks.

But Bret Michaels is being the bigger woman here and saying that he has nothing against the other Spice Girls. He didn’t really call them that, that’s all me, cause I’m trying to stir the pot further.

“I want to make it very clear. I’m not a grudge guy, ever. They have said a lot of negative stuff about Poison. Vince (Neil) has toured with me and we’ve ridden motorcycles together. Nikki (Sixx) and Tommy (Lee) have said a lot of negative things about a lot of people, and I was one of them.  […] I don’t know what the rhyme or reason is, I like some of their music. Fans want the tour. I think it could be a great tour for fans if we could just put our feelings aside. I think we can have a great time“

Bret has a point. I mean, all they need to do is take a look at The Big Four and how successful they’ve been these past two years and they could all meet and put their grudges aside. Maybe exchange Chanel gift cards, too.

Hey, get Bon Jovi and do a Big Faux tour.

Araya gets a key

For those of you who don’t know, Tom Araya was born in Viña del Mar, Chlie, but moved to the States when he was 5. He later fronted one of the most influential metal bands of all time. The definition of the American dream. Or day I say, the American NIGHTMARE? Since, you know, that sounds more metal and less effeminate.

Anyway, apparently the mayor of his birthplace, Virginia Reginato (haha, virgin), will give him the key to the city. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t know Chile had locks around their cities. There’s a cruel miner joke in there somewhere.

“I’m kind of speechless; I don’t what to say. They’re probably gonna change the locks when they give me the key. [Laughs] It’s an honor. I think it’s great. I don’t have a reply. I’m more speechless than anything. It’s not something I expected. That’s never happened before. You see other people receive rewards like that, but it’s usually people of political status or someone that’s really done something for the community or done something important. I’m excited. I don’t know what to expect. . . All I can say is: thank you. That’s about it.“ said Tom while weeping.

Since Tom likes keys so much, I am officially giving him the key to Dose Of Metal. Tom, if you’re reading this, make the jump to see it.

Bleeding Through guitarist knows guitar

Bleeding Through guitarist Dave Nassie will lead an open counseling session for Musicians Institute’s guitar program next Thursday, June 9, from 4-7pm in room MI-201 (does that mean anything to you? Nope, me neither).

I’ve got to be honest though, I have no idea who the Bleeding Through guitarist is, all I know is they have a hot female keyboardist, so excuse me for paying no attention to any of the male members.

The accomplished shredder, who moonlights as a guitar teacher, has been offering lessons to students internationally through the magic of Skype. His brand new YouTube page has accumulated over 50,000 views in less than four days with virtually no promotion through official channels.

Sully Erna makes people cry

Ah remember Sully Erna of Godsmack? He was a Dose of Metal favorite in our early days. Well, what I mean by that  is we think he’s shit and we liked to let everyone know that, at every opportunity, in case anyone thought it may be a good idea to buy his music or go to one of his shows. Unfortunately, not everyone listened, and here’s the results:

“I’ve seen people weeping in the front row” commented Sully Erna.

So you see what happens when you don’t listen to Dose of Metal? you pay a vast amount of money to see some mediocre ball-less Grunge knock off, and the music is so terrible, it leaves you in tears. Maybe next time you’ll listen to us.
