Ed Force One sold out
Iron Maiden’s plane, Ed Force One, is being used for mortals too. That’s right, it’s not just metal legends being flown around in it. Apparently when the band isn’t using it, this baby is flying normal people who can’t play instruments or write metal anthems. Sounds like blasphemy to me.
“The plane is regularly used for commercial flights when not in use by Iron Maiden, but usually the band’s distinctive livery is removed first. It is owned by Gatwick-based company Astreaus airline, which counts Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson as one of its pilots, and first leased the Boeing 757-200 to the band for their Somewhere Back In Time tour in 2007.“

I’m not gonna lie to you, I wouldn’t mind flying in that thing. I wouldn’t mind having Bruce as a pilot, either. Maybe there’s a business venture in there somewhere. I already have the slogan: “Up the irons… Literally!”
I should be in fucking Harvard Business School or something.
Anvil aren’t greedy
Are you one of those little bitches who complain about having to spend a few bucks on an album and invoke ‘greed,’ even though they’re obviously greedy themselves for not sparing some money for someone’s hard work ?
Well, you’re in luck, because Canadians Anvil Lavigne are streaming their new album for free. Imagine that, now you’re $13 richer.
The album, called I’m the Juggernaut Of Justice bitch will hit stores May 10th and has been recorded at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606.
Listen to it here and make the jump to see the cover and track listing.
Jack Osbourne can’t handle criticism
Ozzy Osbourne‘s son Jack recently made an ass of himself on Twitter. Jack wasn’t too pleased with John Anderson’s review in Variety regarding his dad’s latest documentary called God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, which Jack co-produced.
“Dear Variety magazine, your review of my film is absolute bollocks. Your journalist obviously had his head up his arse the entire time.“
Read tweet here.
If you actually read the article, you will notice that it’s quite positive. I mean, seriously, how can you not accept that review?
I honestly don’t know what’s worse — complaining over that review or the idea of letting Jack Osbourne produce a film.

Free shit, stream shit, video shit
Who can say no to free shit? Well, me, in case someone literally offers me a bucket of free shit. Or a Linkin Park CD. I’d reconsider the bucket in that case. You know what this means though, I’ve gone through some new music and I’m here to share. Dose of Metal, just like The Pirate Bay, only legal, and less nerdy. Or just legal.
Make the jump to get the dose of new tracks, and in case you’re wondering what the video above is, it’s our buddies from Chile, Nuclear (which I’ve interviewed and reviewed before) and their new video, Criminal Solicitation.
Machine Head new studio photos
Machine Head have been working hard on their forthcoming album, the follow up to 2007’s The Blackening, scheduled for a September release. September also happens to be the month of Dose of Metal’s birthday, so it’s going to be one fucking awesome month, I bet.
New pictures, taken from the studio, can be found over at MachineHead.com.
