I can’t join FFDP (and neither can you)
FFDP stands for Five Finger Death Punch, in case you care (but now you know, you will probably want to five finger death punch your monitor screen in). They also recently lost a bass player, which means they’re on the lookout for a new one. Think you have what it takes? Then why not apply?
Just make sure that you don’t drink too much alcohol, don’t smoke, your image is “alternative/Metal” enough to fit in, you’re not over 35, you’re under 6 foot tall, you have some tattoos, you’re not fat, not skinny, and a bunch of other crap. Yeah, well that’s me out… Equal opportunities FTW!
According to Metalsucks, some rep for the band has also alleged that the band were not involved with the flier (which can be viewed after the jump), and that it was mistake of some sorts… Hmm.
Whocares? I do and so should you
Do you care that Whocares have released some singles details? Perhaps you will if I were to tell you that Whocares is the name of the new music project staring none other than the legends that are Ian Gillan (Deep Purple), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath etc), Jon Lord, Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden), Mikko “Linde” Lindström (HIM) and Jason Newsted (Metallica). Seriously, this must be the superest super group ever. Like Superman on speed.
Whocares will release both ‘Out Of My Mind‘ and ‘Holy Water’ on May 6: The CD single will also contain the video clip of ‘Out Of My Mind’ and a 40-minute documentary that displays Gillan’s and Iommi’s involvement with the Armenia cause over the years.
Check out the trailer above, and read Blabbermouth for more information.
Axl has a sense of humor
Our friend Bumblefoot recently revealed in an interview that Axl is a funnyman.
“He’s got a great sense of humor. A real ball-buster. Sometimes he’ll tell jokes into our in-ear monitors while we’re tryin’ to take a solo, he’s fucked me up a few times, haha… “
Read full interview here.
It doesn’t surprise me… One look at the classic ‘November Rain’ video and you can totally see Axl’s humorous side, right? That video isn’t serious, is it?
Here’s what I wrote about it in an older article:
“So the video is basically about Axl’s wedding to some bimbo. They talk in a bar, whatever, then on the day of the wedding, Slash is the best man (irony ftmfw). He forgot the ring though, shit… Oh wait, some other dude has it on his pinky. Day saved.
Axl gets married, Slash walks out in a rage. As he walks out, his guitar magically appears as he exists the church and the solo starts. Helicopter shot. Then (november) rain hits the wedding, everyone hides, blah blah.
Axl’s wife is dead. Wait, what? Axl wakes up from a dream. Was it all a dream? No wait, he’s still at the funeral. This doesn’t make any fucking sense, whatsofuckingever.“

Duff wants a job
It’s been established that Duff isn’t loaded. So it’s no surprise that he wants a job.
“I’d love to play with Prince. I played on the Iggy Pop record, and he’s my guy… I played with Steve Jones; he’s my guitar hero. Prince is the guy, probably the biggest musical influence all around for me, and I got to meet him one time, but I was so fucking tongue-tied that I didn’t know what to say… But to be able to play on a song or something like that; that would be pretty badass, just on a personal level.“

Aww, little Duff got starstruck when meeting Prince. Bless him. Maybe Prince is reading this website and will hire you. After his guitar getting the top spot in our article, I can’t see why he wouldn’t be our fan.
Fingers crossed, yo.
Dose of Metal’s dose of metal
Aren’t we just awesome? While Guido was busy listening to new bands, I was busy copy/pasting posting freshly released music links. So what’s new?
VYGR have posted a new song to their Facebook page (note the URL), and it’s from their new cleverly named album Voyager. Why name the band in such a way that you’d need to name the album properly just so people would get it is beyond me.
Blindside, the band I once saw opening for Mudvayne (in 2003, you know, before this) and of which I have absolutely no memory of, also have something new. Go here if you’re interested in it.
Another band has something new. But this time, a whole album available for streaming. Above Symmetry‘s the name, above crap is the game. Hopefully, but I wouldn’t know anything about it because I’m too busy listening to Mudvayne right now.
Just kidding. You too.
Deranged have been pretty busy as well, and have come up with something for you to kill a few minutes of your time with. Click here.
Anvil have also been working hard. Unfortunately, it’s not a new documentary, but they have a new song. FukenEh!
That’s it…
NOT! Surprise round of new music videos after the jump.
