Bon Jovi, you're to blame

You give the Hall of Fame… A bad name… *insert talk box solo here*

“Alice Cooper and Bon Jovi are among 15 artists nominated for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2011. Other acts who were nominated are Beastie Boys,  Neil Diamond and LL Cool J”

And like that, the honor of being inducted in the “Hall of Fame” just went down the toilet. LL Cool J? Seriously? Is he gonna lick his lips and start saying “Baby… Baby… Baby” for his induction speech? What the hell… And then the Beastie Boys are gonna come on with some matching work uniforms and start doing robot dances? Jesus H. Motherfucking Christ. Who’s gonna induct them? Dr. Dre, yo?

I can’t believe I’m saying this but my vote is for Bon Jovi. Fuck, at least they can play instruments. Alice Cooper’s response to the nomination, after the jump.

Metal On Anvil

Anvil released a documentary last year, “Anvil! The Story Of Anvil“.

If you have no idea who they are, basically they were considered the next big metal band to sell millions during the 1980s.  They help influence bands like Anthrax, Slayer and Metallica.  They also played some big tours and festivals.   They never made it and from 1987-2007, they continued to release a lot of albums.  Even if some of them were lacking quality, it didn’t stop Anvil from chasing their dream to be metal gods.

Well, they have some news.  Anvil were honored for yet another award.  Blabbermouth has all the details.   If you wanna hear some Anvil, you know what to do.

Ki$$

They earn WHAT?????

“Kiss earns a minimum of $500,000 per concert, placing the legndary rock band near the top of the summertime tour earnings list, according to contract records that have been acquired by The Smoking Gun web site.“

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know they played live anymore, much less earn half a mil each night. What the hell? How about you donate some money to us, Gene?

When asked why he still can’t afford a proper haircut, Gene Simmons had no comment.

Belladonna liked the taste of success

Current (I think) Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna, who was Anthrax’s 6th, 8th and 10th singer in the overall timeline, liked the view from huge stages at the Big Four tour last summer.

In an interview with About.com Belladonna had the following to say about the tour “It was quite overwhelming and cool as hell to be part of Metallica‘s world.”.

About Anthrax’s upcoming (hehe) album he said “There’s stuff already ready for the picking. We have to tweak stuff and rewrite some lyrics. All the vocals have to be placed in the songs again. I already sang on one song already”, which means “We’ll record my vocals over Nelson’s vocals and once we’re done, I’ll quit and John Bush will record over my vocals”*.

New All That Remains Samples

All That Remains have released 30 second audio clips from all the songs on their upcoming new album, “For We Are Many“.

None of us here at Dose Of Metal really have any interest in these songs, at all(especially if they sound similar to the last album).  However, they have fans, a lot of fans, and we at Dose Of Metal are fully aware of this.   That’s why we’re nice enough to share the link with you.
