Krokus do charity
If there’s one thing I admire about artists, who make good money from their art, it’s when they spend said money on a good cause. There are more than enough people in this world less fortunate than me, and there are certainly a lot of people less fortunate than artists who make their money by doing something as banal as playing songs.
Swiss Hard Rock legends Krokus decided to support Switzerland’s charity event ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’ (eng. ‘Every Rappen counts,’ Rappen being the Swiss equivalent of a Cent).
Make the jump and read what Chris Von Rohr, Krokus bassist, had to say about this.
A*** C*** – F*****’ A details emerge
Had problems figuring out what the post title is about? Now you feel the same way that anyone who has ever tried to decipher an Anal Cunt song felt.
But, the really bad news is that the band have a new album called Fuckin’ A coming in January. Aren’t you just counting days for it to happen? Make the jump to see the tracklist and the album cover.
Motorhead guitarist is pissed
No, I don’t mean he’s drunk (although he probably is too), but Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell is incredibly pissed off. Why? Well it turns out that dear old Phil barely makes an appearance in Lemmy‘s film, entitled Lemmy. Now, if I had actually watched the film, I would know that, but what do you know? Seems I actually have some taste.
Bless poor Phil, he must have forgotten to check the name of the film… Find the full story here.
Drowning Pool like videos
So much, that in fact, they will be shooting a video for each of the remaining songs on their last album. Will they be changing the singer for each video, just to spice things up? We’ll see. You can even go to their website and vote for your favorite song, and the one with most votes will get a video first. I wanted to go and vote, but unfortunately, I know only one Drowning Pool song, and hint, it’s not from their last album.
My prediction – a bunch of bad videos. Well, at least one was funny. Watch it after the jump.
Phil is also technological
Well, well, well… I just posted about one Pantera member getting all tech-geeky and shit with an iPhone app. Not to be outdone, Phil “Million Projects Man” Anselmo also uses some computer slang in a recent interview:
“UG: What about all the posers out there?
Phil: I’ll tell you the truth: you are correct. There are a lot of cut-and-paste motherfuckin’ thrash metal acts today. That is harsh but I’ll say it: there’s a lot of Exodus worship. Fine. There’s a lot of records where I can hear the first, what, 30 seconds of a song and know pretty much what I’m getting thereafter.“

Smooth, Phil, real smooth. You could be a character on The Big Bang Theory.
