Black & Purple Maiden
Tony Iommi (Guitars, Black Sabbath), Ian Gillan (Vocals, Deep Purple), Nicko McBrain (Drums, Iron Maiden) and Jon Lord (Keyboard, Deep Purple) are going to record a charity song to raise money to rebuild the Armenian Music School.
Iommi and Gillan were already involved in a charity re-recording of Deep Purple’s biggest hit ‘Smoke on the Water’ to raise money for something something* in Armenia in 1989.
* If you really want to know what they raised money for, read the Blabbermouth article.
My thoughts: Deep Purple are still doing music? And Nicko McBrain still has a weird shaped nose.
Become Hendrix
For a long time, there has been a black hole, in desperate need of being filled. We’re talking a huge gap here. Something people should have thought of ages ago.
Luckily though, Da Capo Press have come to the rescue to fill that gap, releasing a book all about Jimi Hendrix, entitled Becoming Jimi Hendrix: From Southern Crossroads To Psychedelic London, The Untold Story Of A Musical Genius.
Three things crossed my mind here. One, could they come up with a longer name? Two, haven’t there already been a million books about Jimi Hendrix? I must have been wrong though, otherwise why would De Capo Press feel the need to release one? Thank God they did. And three, why would anyone want to become Jimi Hendrix? Not only is the guy dead (and I’ve heard being dead isn’t much fun), we all know Brad Delson is the true master of the guitar.
I tried reading a book once… I gave up when I couldn’t find where to put the batteries. More info on the book here.
Trivium fan sounds just like them
People usually say shows like American Idol don’t promote talent. But this video pretty much shows otherwise.
On some Portuguese clone show or some shit, a dude came in and sang Trivium’s Ember To Inferno. He sounds just like them, to the point of me having to check if it’s not dubbed from the actual CD. Watch after the jump…
Mudvayne make movies
Well, not really, but three of their videos made it into an European film festival. This is about as exciting as finding out the turtle’s penis is in its tail.
“The three consecutive experimental music videos for Mudvayne’s “Scream With Me,” “Heard It All Before” and “Beautiful and Strange” have been accepted to Europe’s largest film festival: Raindance. These non-performance videos tell the story of Satan’s grisly attempts in conceiving his first human child on Earth. The trilogy is to be screened at the 18th annual Raindance film festival, as it was originally intended to be seen: in true eye-popping HD.“
Okay, I don’t know about you, but that text is just plain stupid. First of all, Raindance is not the largest film festival in Europe. Ever heard of the Cannes Film Festival? Yeah. It’s where everyone goes. Who the hell ever heard of “Raindance”? No wonder they got in. They’ll probably even accept my YouTube video of my cat shitting in my soup.
Secondly, “Satan’s grisly attempts in conceiving his first human child on Earth?” — Is this a story about Sharon Osbourne? She already has a few kids…
And last but not least. “True eye-popping HD?” Hahahaha… Jesus Christ, the only eye popping you’ll see will be from the audience, gouging their eyes out to stop all the visual atrocity. Seriously awful news. It’s not even news, I apologize. More of my laughs, after the jump.
New Megadeth song!
Are you excited???? I’m not… But hey, it’s from the latest Guitar Hero game called ‘Guitar Hero: Not Only Can You Not Play Real Guitar, But You Also Suck At This Game, Cuntmuscle’
“The new Megadeth song “Sudden Death,” serves as the finger-busting finale to the “Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock“
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine stated about the song, “I’m sure some fans will think it’s the greatest thing we’ve ever done. But other people will say it sucks. That’s just the way of the world.“
Yeah, let me correct you there, Dave. Some fans will say “Eh, it’s okay!” and the others will make a Metallica joke. Now THAT is the way of the world. Hear the song after the jump.
