R.I.P. Gary Moore (1952-2011)

We’re barely into 2011 and we already lost another great musician.

Guitarist Gary Moore passed away today, in his hotel room in Spain. He was 58. More details here.

Make the jump to see him perform his hit song, “Still Got The Blues.” An amazing guitar performance, if you ask me.

Korn recruits Morgan of Sevendust

Korn are about to lose their only most talented member, the drummer Ray Luzier, for a few shows, as he’s about to give birth or something. I’m sure Korn fans around the world will be weeping, but weep no more, as the band have recruited Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose to take over. I’m pretty sure no one will notice… This band change their members more often than I change my underwear. Although that’s not hard to be fair, I’ve only changed my boxers three times in my life.

Proof Lemmy isn’t racist

Lemmy might have a huge collection of Nazi paraphernalia, but he isn’t racist. If you want more proof, check out the chick above. Yes, that is a chick. Her stage name is Skin and she’s from Skunk Anansie, a British band you probably never heard of.

Well, it’s Lemmy‘s favorite band, so how can you be racist when your favorite band’s singer is black? Makes no sense, yo.

“Skunk Anansie reformed, which is great news for me, you know? They’re my favorite band, I think. I went to see them in London a little while ago. You know they reformed, right? I went to see them in London the day before we played Brixton Academy, they played there, so we went down.“

Make the jump for a song from Skunk Anansie called ‘Charlie Big Potato.’ I wonder who it’s about. I have a similar idea for a song, it’s called ‘Lemmy Face Potatoes.’

Joe Perry tweets a lot

This can’t be the 70s, right? I mean, I’m blogging, Joe Perry is texting, there’s 3D mature porn streaming on my laptop — this has to be the 2000s.

So if we’re not in the 70s, why would anyone care if Joe is still in Aerosmith?

Well, whatever, apparently he is. And apparently he can also work a computer, because he confirmed this on his Twitter account.

“I am in Aerosmith. I am not going anywhere. The band isn’t writing any more. It was only for 8 days. If ya need a jolt get my last solo CD“

Read tweet here.

I didn’t know senior citizens could tweet. That’s adorable!

Dave likes Peace Sells… But who doesn’t?

It’s a beautiful Saturday morning here. I’m eating countless bowls of Lucky Charms with midget porn playing in the background. I’m also on my laptop trying to steal searching for metal news.  Well, I found something that might interest you,  but only if you enjoy seeing good bands live.

Megadeth might have a 25th Anniversary tour for Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying.

Dave Mustaine tells VH1 Radio

“We’ve already had people talk to us about doing that and I told our manager that I’m totally interested in doing Peace Sells for a 25th anniversary this year, but I don’t want to do it all year like we did with Rust in Peace. I want to do it towards the end of the year. So we’ll do the whole year doing our thing and then come around October, where the end of the year is, you’ve got a quarter of the year left, October, November and December, where we can do the Peace Sells thing.“

Megadeth rule live.  I really don’t think anyone should miss seeing them in concert later in the year.
