Joey flees the murder scene
Joey Jordison was recently spotted running from a murder scene. The murder being that of music, and the scene being a Murderdolls gig. Perhaps he had decided that enough was enough, and he could no longer sit back and partake in such awful music. Or perhaps it was just the fact that he was pissed off at “technical difficulties” – at least that’s the “reason” the band are citing…
Joey stormed off stage twice during the Bordeaux gig, with the band having to finish the song without him the second time. The “hilarious” footage (it’s not that funny actually. Want funny, watch Lostprophets trying to do a ‘wall of death’) can be seen after the jump.
The Big Four love each other. Cue laugh track.
If you’re in the mood for a quick laugh, check out this excerpt I stole from Blabbermouth got from a recent Scott Ian interview. He’s explaining The Big Four tour.
“This isn’t a manufactured thing put together by management or record companies or anything like that. This is put together because these four bands have all been around for so long. We’re still at the top of our game and we all really get along well, and really do love each other, as lame as that sounds for a bunch of metal dudes.“

I’ll suspend my disbelief about the ‘manufactured’ part, I’ll pretend I didn’t read the ‘top of our game’ part, but I can’t take the ‘love’ part seriously.
All you have to do is do a quick search on Blabbermouth, and you’ll see how much these four bands love each other. Granted it was never Scott or anyone else from Anthrax doing the ‘loving’ in the press, but still, these bands tolerate each other at best, in my opinion.
I don’t want to make assumptions about people I haven’t met and things I don’t know about. I think it’s great that this Big Four thing is finally happening and I applaud them for ending their feuds, but this whole “ah, we’re all BFFs and are doing this cause we love each other” thing is pretty hard to take seriously. Especially after reading stuff like this.
But, what do I know? Last night I forgot to wipe after a messy shit and woke up with my underwear looking like one of those Rorschach inkblot tests.
Clowns settle feud
Mushroomhead and Slipknot have two things in common. Both bands wear masks. Both bands make bad music. So obviously, fan wars ensue.
Mushroomhead fans are annoyed because their favorite band ‘were first,’ as if wearing those shitty masks ‘first’ is any kind of achievement. Slipknot fans are annoyed because their IQ matches their age.
But according to a recent interview with the ‘original’ gimmicky band, the beef is non-existent now and then my mind drifted off to a different place because who the fuck cares?
If you do, make the jump for the video interview. Then never talk to me again.
Ozzy has a bucket list
Metal legend and bat aficionado Ozzy Osbourne has one big item on his bucket list…
“I often get asked this question: ‘Will there ever be a [new Sabbath] album?’ One thing I can say for definite [is] we are all talking, we are all friends. But it’s been 30 years since we did a studio album — if it’s not something extra, extra special, the people are gonna go, ‘We waited 30 years [for this…]’ But before my life’s over, I would love… my dream is to do the ultimate Black Sabbath album; I would love to do that.“
Listen to the interview here.
Wait… Ozzy was in Black Sabbath? WTF?
What’s John Bush been up to?
Whilst Anthrax try to make up their minds who their singer is, former vocalist John Bush has been busy recording vocals for a track on the new Long Distance Calling album.
The almost 100% (but obviously not quite) instrumental rock band have had Peter Dolving (The Haunted) and Jonas Renkse (Katatonia) feature on songs before, and have decided for their third album, they’d like Bush to feature on the track Middleville.
Long Distance Calling commented:
“From the beginning of the band we thought it’s cool to do the unexpected, especially from an instrumental band. [..] For the new one we made a list and John was on that list. We asked him and he wanted to do it, which is great because it’s a very strong song. We don’t like to go the easy way and ask the most obvious singers. Nobody is expecting John to appear on our album, but he’s such a great singer that the result speaks for.”
Dose of Metal commented:
“Of course people are expecting it. You just told us sillys.
