Steven Adler (who?) wants GNR reunion
Steven Adler, original (ish) Guns N’ Roses drummer (AKA the one from GNR no one really cares about), is still after a reunion. It may have been 23 years since Appetite for Destruction was released, and 20 years since Adler was fired from the band, but he’s still banging on about Guns n’ Roses and looking for a reunion of the “original lineup”.
In a recent interview Adler claims that the reason he wants a reunion so badly, is that the original band never finished what they started. The problem with this claim though, is they did finish what they started Steven, they just finished without you. Let it go. Or do what Axl did, and hire a bunch of professional musicians and pretend you’re still Guns N’ Roses. I hear that’s working well for him.
Funny that the only member really looking for a reunion is the one that needs the cash… Check out the interview over at Blabbermouth.
Sullintellectual Erna
Sully Erna loves his album. We don’t. But who cares what we think, right?
“This is a more intellectual side of me that I did because I like playing this kind of music. Godsmack, yeah, it’s about the music, but it’s also about the energy, the pyro, and the show. This is about the music. This is back to like when Pink Floyd put out “Dark Side Of The Moon” — holy shit, he’s not comparing himself to that, is he?
“Not that I’m comparing myself to that, but I hope that it holds up like that. I hope people realize that this is all about the music, the visuals, and the journey it takes you in when you close your eyes and listen to these sounds.” — we realize that, but the journey it took us while listening to it was the musical equivalent of being kidnapped by a nympho werewolf who rapes you and then dumps you in the woods in a pool of blood.

Paulo says no to Sepultura reunion
Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr. and Andreas Kisser of the band who call themselves Sepultura, even though they don’t sound like Sepultura, nor have any of the original members left in the band, recently gave an interview to Terrorizer Magazine.
In said interview, Paulo ruled out a possible reunion with the 2 founders of the band, the (Super) Cavalera Bros. (Videogame in the works). He said he’s happy with the current line-up, featuring the singer with the weird shaped nose and some new drummer (who-the-fuck-ever that is).
When asked for comment, Max Cavalera said “ROOTS!” and went on to say “BLOODY ROOTS!”.

Want to play just like Anthrax?
Anthrax, despite not quite knowing who their singer is, are undeniably Thrash legends. So I’m betting a lot of you out there want to learn how to play guitar just like Anthrax right? Well, don’t bother. Because Guitars are for oldies. All you need in order to be a rock god these days, is a modern games console and a piece of plastic shit modelled on a guitar with 4 buttons replacing strings and frets. Simply amazing.
So, if you want to learn how to play just like Anthrax, put down that guitar, put down that bass, that mic and the drum sticks, and pick up Rock Band today.
The Anthrax songs will be made available on September 28 on the Rock Band Music Store for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.
