Anyone wanna listen to Derrick Green talk for 30 minutes?
That’s almost as long as Sepultura’s set at the Devil Side Festival, three years ago in my hometown. I’d rather listen to Green sing for 30 minutes but if this is your thing, go for it. First part above, second part after the jump.
Kind of related to the topic, how awesome is it when we use Youtube videos to start a post, instead of a dumb picture? It’s like a picture but it’s clickable. And it fucking moves! And it has sounds! Priceless. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll check if you can do the same with Youporn videos. Don’t expect me to post that though. I’ll be too busy for that.
Beyond Death and Tirant Sin reunite for one-off performance
If you love Cannibal Corpse as much as I do, chances are that you know that they formed out of the ashes of three different previous bands, Beyond Death (Alex Webster, Jack Owen), Tirant Sin (Chris Barnes, Bob Rusay and Paul Mazurkiewicz) and Leviathan (Chris Barnes).
Beyond Death and Tirant Sin recently reunited for a one-off appearance at the benefit concert for Sons of Azrael guitarist Tony Lorenzo. I actually don’t know Sons of Azrael, nor what’s wrong with Lorenzo, but I’d like to wish him a speedy recovery, if he’s sick. If he’s just broke, well… reuniting two local death metal bands won’t get you far but it secures you a post on Dose of Metal. That’s better than nothing.
You can watch an excerpt of Beyond Death’s performance above and some more videos, including Tirant Sin, after the jump.
Get well soon, God!
Dear God, hallowed be thy name, get well soon so you can keep kicking our asses.
Love,

Original Metallica guitarist got interviewed
When people say ‘original Metallica guitarist,’ they’re probably wondering ‘an original guitarist in Metallica? You mean one that doesn’t steal riffs from Stone?’
But no, I mean original as in ‘first.’
Lloyd Grant (pictured above next to that chick) played with Metallica in their original recording of “Hit The Lights.” So I guess that makes him important enough to warrant an interview, eh? And I guess it makes me lame enough to talk about this interview, eh? Yeah…

I didn’t know it was humanly possible to be shorter than Kirk. I stand corrected.

Van Halen keeping it retro with new music video
Someone had better tell Van Halen that this is not the 80s anymore, and cheesy effects like reversing footage, then playing it forward again is not ‘hip’ anymore.
Their new video for “Tattoo” is most likely intended to be nostalgic, but all it does to me is feel sorry for a bunch of middle-aged musicians seemingly stuck in a bubble from before I was born.
Guys, we admire your career, but get a fucking director who does not belong in a nursing home.
