Axl Rose in Guitar Hero battle
A legal battle that is (anyone surprised?). It seems Axl Rose, after three years, has decided that now is the right time to sue Activision over the use of the Guns ‘N Roses classic, Welcome To The Jungle, in the game, Guitar Hero III: Heroes Of Rock. Rose is obviously scraping the barrel of people left he can sue, since the game came out way back in 2007.
According to Metal Hammer, Axl claims that he had an agreement with Activision, who release the Guitar Hero games, that they could use the track only on the condition that they would not feature either Slash or Velvet Revolver in the game.
That reminds me, my baby is currently throwing its toys out the pram, so I’ll have to finish this post now sorry.
Iron Sikth
Perhaps one of the more bizarre stories I’ve heard recently, apparently members of Iron Maiden and former Math-Metal monsters, Sikth have joined forces to form a brand new supergroup, along with some bands I’ve never heard of.
According to Metal Hammer, the new band will consist of *deep breath*Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith (pictured above), Sikth vocalist, bassist and drummer Mikee W. Goodman, James Leach and Dan Foord, Murder One guitarist Dan Marshall and Vacant Stare keyboardist James Manning. The supergroup are going by the name of The Primal Rock Rebellion.
The band have have a live date booked for Saturday, January 15 in High Wycombe at Bucks Student Union according to this site.
New Crowbar song
We care for you guys, hence why we’re posting this photo for you to see. We know you plan on binge-eating this Christmas so there you have it, some topless action from a few guys who should definitely keep their shirt on. If you still feel like eating after that, it means you’re Rob Halford.
Kidding, kidding… Anyway, new Crowbar, bitches. It’s called “Cemetary Angels” and you can stream it here.
Motormixer
So no doubt you saw my post earlier today about a dubstep remix of Deftones‘ Prince. Well, how do you guys feel about making some dubstep remixes of Motörhead songs? Wouldn’t that be like totally awesome? Well good news, because the band are releasing the Motörhead Remixer, coming straight to your mobile phone. Oh yayz!

Defstep
Are you deaf? The chances are if you’re a fan of dubstep, you probably are. Hell, some would argue if you’re a fan of Deftones, you’re probably deaf. So chances are, all you hearing impaired music fans will love this Dubstep remix of Prince. Check it out yo.
