The worst tour ever
Hide your children, cover your ears and flee your towns, the worst tour EVER imagined has just become a reality. Emmure, iwrestledabearonce, In This Moment and Born of Osiris are among the confirmed bands for The (so called) All Stars Tour, which will run from July 22 to August 23.
Blabbermouth, has more information, so head over there instead. I’m too busy puking and hyperventilating from this news to continue. Nah, I’m joking, I’m just lazy and don’t care about these shit bands.
Asesino album news and epic tales
In late March, Asesino vocalist/bassist Tony Campos told us that the band were writing their third album. As a fan of Asesino, I was really happy to hear that and now imagine how happy it made me when I read a new interview with Dino Cazares talking about the third album, tentatively titled El Segunda Venida (= The Second Coming).
“We have the new album, which will be out in 2012. (…) So we’re thinking of calling the record ‘The Second Coming,’ which is ‘El Segunda Venida.’ Even though it’s our third album, it’s more based on the second coming of Christ (…).”
Read more here.
I advise you to read the complete interview because Dino explains the concept behind Asesino and the first two albums in its entirety. It’s pretty fucking epic. I’m still wondering how ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ fits into that concept though.
Everyone likes AC/DC, even sharks
Hot off the heels of our awesome Top 10 best AC/DC songs list, an Australian tour operator has discovered that even sharks like AC/DC. Well that’s the only logical conclusion we can come to, since the man has said the music of AC/DC attracts great white sharks to his boat (so that his customers can see them). Why else would the music attract them, if it’s not their love for AC/DC? Hmm…
So there you have it, everyone likes AC/DC, even none humans. Read more over at Blabbermouth.
Happy Chimaira
Oh happy Chimaira. We’ve reported a lot on the band in the last couple of months and it sure seemed like the band went through some rough times, with them losing bandmembers etc., but they apparently are very happy currently.
How do I make that judgement? Well, Mark Hunter recently did an interview and said the following:
“Look, we’re from Cleveland, so we only see the sun three days a year, but today I feel the sunshine [laughs]. It hasn’t felt this good playing in Chimaira for a long time.”
Read the full interview here.
Well, woop-dee-doo, someone’s happy. Honestly, it’s good to hear that the band is feeling good with their new bandmembers and I’m actually more interested in hearing their new material than I’ve been in a long time. I just hope they won’t turn Happy Metal on us.
GNR Bassist announces solo album
Tommy Stinson (no, us neither), the apparent current bassist of Guns N’ Roses, is apparently ready to release a solo album in August. The album will be called One Man Mutiny and is apparently the bassist’s second. I mean really? What was the first one?
Expect another 400 Tommy Stinson solo albums before the next Guns N’ Roses album.
Find more information over at Blabbermouth.
