Are you bored? Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to the rescue!
And I mean really bored? Bored-out-of-your-motherfucking-mind bored? Did you like “The Social Network?” Are you perhaps a fan of Trent Reznor? Wish you could watch a 45 minute video of him and Atticus Ross discussing their horrible soundtrack for the movie?
If you answered yes to all of those questions, make the jump. From the rooftop of a 20 floor building.
As if two wasn't enough…
The band named after a lame move from Mortal Kombat (actually I may have made that up), Five Finger Death Punch have announced that they have starting planning their third album. Want to know what it’s going to sound like? Well, just like their first and second album, and most likely what all their albums are going to sound like. But don’t take my word for it, read what guitarist, Zoltan Bathory says below.
“The thing is, we found our sound, so to speak. It’s still going to evolve, but not drastically. If you put in Five Finger Death Punch’s first, second, or third record, you’ll still recognize that it is Five Finger Death Punch. You kind of stick to the sound that you have. Like any band that I was into, from Pantera to Metallica to Iron Maiden, you hear the first couple of riffs and you know it’s them. I think that identity is very important and it’s crazy to lose.”

I’m pretty sure that’s just called laziness, but hey, who am I to judge?
Corey Taylor has no plans for Slipknot
Despite the fact Joey Jordison has claimed that work on a new Slipknot album has begun, with the band recording in early 2011, Corey ‘I am the great big mouth’ Taylor has contradicted Joey‘s words, claiming that neither he, or “at least 5 other members” have any plans to work on a new Slipknot album.
“Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me be clear. I have NO PLANS to make a new Slipknot album anytime soon,” said Taylor. “Shows? Maybe. Album? No. As for Joey’s comments, he took that on himself to say that in print. I can think of five people in this band who haven’t written/heard a thing.”

I seem to remember the same nonesense happening before recording both Vol 3 and All Hope is Gone though. In fact, it always seems to be Joey that’s psyched to start work on new Slipknot albums, but Corey is always too busy singing soppy ballads and being a pop star.
AC/DC Drummer Phil Rudd is a stoner
Two days ago, Phil Rudd, Drummer of AC/DC, was convicted in the Tauranga District Court for possession of cannabis found on his launch, Barchetta, on October 7. He was convicted for possessing 27 grams of cannabis.
Like a true stoner, Rudd is paranoid (haha… no wait, wrong band). In an interview with Stuff.co.nz, Phil said the following;
“They (police) have been trying to catch me on the road for a while too.”
Sure Phil, the police has nothing better to do than to follow aging rockstars to bust them for possession of 27 grams of cannabis.
Angus Young, who lives in the Netherlands, had no comment. I wonder why.
Grammy nominees announced
Yesterday during the “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music Biggest Night” this year’s Grammy nominees were announced.
We all know that the Grammy’s are the be all, end all of all metal award shows, so you should definitely check out the nominees for Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance after the jump (or, if you’re smarter than I think you are, you can just read the huge list of tags beneath this post).
With past winners such as Korn, Deftones, Rage against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, you just got to admit that the Grammy’s won lots of credibility for their Best Metal Performance category. Yeah right, what a load of shit. Make the jump anyhow because this year at least 4 of the 5 nominees are in fact metal.
