Dee Snider says Broadway is challenging

In fact, he says that his recent gig on Broadway (which we’ve previously covered) is the most challenging thing he’s ever done. We find that hard to believe, because his other gig (in Twisted Sister) looks like it takes a few hours of preparation and ten pounds of make up. Check out the interview after the jump.

P.S. I wonder if Dee‘s Halloween costume was his “no make-up” persona. And I wonder which one scared people more…

Sully Erna isn't a Kid Rock but an American Idol fan

To get you started; Kid Rock isn’t an American Idol fan, Steven Tyler isn’t a Kid Rock fan and Godsmack’s Sully Erna isn’t a Kid Rock fan but an American Idol fan.

What is this, Battle of the has-beens? If it is, I don’t think Erna qualifies for it because to become a has-been you have to have had a career of some sort. Bummer.

Anyhow, in response to Kid Rock’s comments, Erna said the following;

“Kid Rock needs to shut up. That’s not true. This is gonna be great for TV, man. It’s supposedly the right thing to do to is to rag on a show like that ’cause it’s so popular, and everybody that has a problem most of the time, they have a problem with something that’s really popular — it’s the envy/jealousy thing; I don’t know what it is. I’m not saying that’s what it is with Kid Rock, because I get along with him fine. But I have to disagree. I think it’s brilliant that Steven Tyler is gonna be one of the judges; I think it’s gonna be so good.”

And when asked what he thought about Tyler’s decision to be part of American Idol, he said:

“I think it’s brilliant. Beyond good. I think he’s gonna be the male Paula Abdul, ’cause he’s a little bit dingy, you know what I mean?! He’s probably all pilled up, and he’s gonna be funny. I mean, he’s witty, he’s really witty.”

Most interesting story of 2010… not. I wonder what Kid Rock has to say about it. Really, I do… not.

Morgan Rose still kicking it

Back in the late 1990s, Morgan Rose was one of the most popular drummers in the Nu Metal genre.   Besides being all over the drum magazines and marrying the chick from Coal Chamber, Sevendust actually did pretty decent with sales for their first couple albums.

Anyway, Morgan Rose recently did an interview with Away Team.  He talks about everything, including drumming with Motley Crue and being excited having Clint Lowery back in the band.

Iron Maiden announcement

British legends, Iron Maiden, are making a special UK announcement on the 11th November at 12pm (UK time… obviously!)

Oh my, what could it be? Could it be they’re announcing the second coming of Christ? (Hint – seems very unlikely) Could it be they’re headlining next year’s Download Festival? (Hint – doubtful) Or could it be that they will be announcing a UK tour for next year? (Hint – much more likely)

Find out more about the announcement here at DoM, as soon as we have news. Or otherwise, you could just check out the band’s site here.
