Lars loves the Big 4
Lars Ulrich, Metallica‘s drummer and main ranter, loved The Big Four. It’s all good and all, but we heard him the first time he said it.
“It’s pretty amazing if you think about it, that it’s the first time basically in 25 years or 30 or whatever that the four of us have actually played shows together,” he said. “So it was a lot of fun, a lot of memories, a lot of fun times — new fun times, and fun times talking about the old fun times. So it sort of was a, it was a winner on every front.” said Lars while counting his zillions.

Well, I’m sure he does love them since the DVD pretty much sold like hot candy. Expect an in-depth review of it, coming from us, quite soon. Also expect general badassery coming from this site.
Warner Music buys Roadrunner Records
According to Blabbermouth, who should know really, Roadrunner Records was fully required by Warner Music.
I don’t really want to get into detail of that story, because you can read it on Blabbermouth anyhow. I just want to know what that means for the quality of music, or lack thereof, Roadrunner puts out.
For years, Roadrunner put out great albums until it turned into the forerunner of Metalcore. Now that Warner Music bought Roadrunner, I can see them going down an even more mainstream route, which would be a shame because there are still one or two good bands on that label.
We will see, I guess. I can’t say I’m looking forward to the future of Roadrunner.
Pantera's Walk turned into a pop song
Have you ever wondered what Pantera would have sounded like if they were a pop band and Phil Anselmo was actually female? No? Me neither but the Swedish band Hellsongs, consisting of two guys who look… Swedish and a chick who handles vocals, covered arguably Pantera’s biggest hit ‘Walk’.
Are you interested now? Me neither but as it turns out, the song is actually not bad at all. Not my type of music but it’s done well. It’s not a carbon copy but a rearrangement of the original.
Make up your own opinion with the song after the jump, or go to their MySpace to listen to more covers (including Megadeth and Black Sabbath, among others).
Anthrax + Sepultura sitting in a tree
Anthrax and Sepultura joined forces last night for a concert in some city in Chile. I am not good with foreign countries so I didn’t really get where this happened, so maybe you can help me out.
Not much else to say so read the full story here and make the jump to see some videos of them performing.
