Some guy thinks no one has heard of Megadeth

Some guy (Joe Principe) from some band (Rise Against) I’ve heard very little of, was recently asked in an interview whether the band had faced legal action from Dave Mustaine or Megadeth as their new album is also titled Endgame.

His response was “No, he hasn’t. You know what’s funny?! This kind of goes to show you how many people know about the Megadeth record. It’s like no one… One kid said something, ‘Hey, isn’t that a Megadeth title?’ But other than that, no one knows.”

Oh really, Joe? No one knows about Megadeth‘s latest album? Why don’t you come back and say that when Rise Against have sold 150,000 copies in the US with their album titled Endgame? Because that’s how many copies Megadeth have sold with their Endgame and I’m willing to bet that’s a lot more copies than you’ll ever sell. Perhaps it’s just that Rise Against‘s general target audience is 15 year old girls, and that’s why your fans know nothing about Megadeth. Just a hunch…

This isn’t really news, so God knows why Blabbermouth are posting it. Probably to get a rise out of their users. This does beg the question, however, why am I posting this?

The Golden Gods Awards trailer is here

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t trust any award ceremony where they honor Gods and I’m not nominated. So don’t hold it against me if I’m not extremely excited for this ceremony.

But its trailer has hit the net (as seen above) and it does feature a Pantera song so how bad can it be? Well, let’s put it this way… Avenged Sevenfold seems like the big winner of the evening.

By the way, this already happened last month, but it’s gonna be aired more than a month later because, why would you need to show it as it happens? It’s just an award ceremony, it’s not like anyone will post the awards rendering the whole night useless as the ‘excitement factor’ disappears. Get real, yo.

Make the jump for a list of what will happen so that you don’t have to actually watch it.

Get ready for the Kiss Kruise. Yes, really.

It may come as a surprise to you, but Kiss like money. They’ve sold everything from drinks, condoms, gnomes, etc… But if you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking “Well, they haven’t made their own cruise yet!”

Boy, are you in luck:

“The first-ever Kiss Kruise: Wet, Wild & Rockin’ is setting sail October 13-17, 2011 from Miami, Florida to Half Moon Cay and Nassau, Bahamas on board the Carnival Destiny. KISS and Sixthman are joining forces to create the wettest, wildest, most rockin’ cruise in the Atlantic.

Kiss will be hosting this ship to bring you music, krazy onboard activities, and Kiss-themed nights.“

Blabbermouth is so excited about this that they wrote the ‘krazy onboard activities’ line twice in their article. They seem pretty calm usually, but if this got them amped up then boy, it must be good. I guess I’ll start throwing money Kiss’ way now and join this thing.

I’ve avoided Kiss’ music in a lot of places… Bars… Festivals… YouTube… I’ve never avoided it on a boat, so this should be fun.

Trivium are recreating

According to Blabbermouth, in a recent interview with Matt Heafy, the frontman reveals that glorified Metallica tribute act, Trivium, are allegedly “recreating everything” on their forthcoming album.

Yes Trivium, by “recreating” I assume you’ll once again be taking what superior bands have already created and will rehash it for the kids too young to notice. Another original concept by Trivium, hooray.

In the band’s defence, they actually claim that’s exactly what they’re not doing. I’ll believe it when I see it though.

Evacuate London

I’m not even kidding, if you live in London, you may want to evacuate now! Or at least prepare to. Puddle of Mudd (otherwise known as the worst band known to Man, as well as being Fred Durst’s biggest crime against music) have been confirmed as support for The Damned Things at The Borderline on June 8th.

At the moment though, I’m just thanking my lucky stars that at least it’s not a headline show. But seriously people; it’s 2011, why in God’s name do Puddle of Crudd still exist?
