Dinerosmith > Aerosmith
Green… Is my new obsession. Green, is not even a question…
Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler is known for two things. One, his enormous fucking mouth, which looks like it could wreck Haiti with a simple sneeze. Two… Well that’s about it, really.
However, if you thought American Idol was a bad show, good news. It’s gonna get worse. The rumors were true, Steven is officially confirmed as a new Idol judge…
If you’re looking forward to seeing the second grand canyon move and throw insults at contestants, in glorious HD mind you, then 2011 will be your best year yet.
When asked for a comment, Joe Perry pushed the interviewer off the stage and then helped him back up.
Headlines
Alice in Chains were interviewed (videos after the jump). Unfortunately, nobody asked them why their new video looks like an amateur version of Fantastic Voyage.
Slash, Jerry Cantrell and John 5 will all appear in “Turn it Up!“ — a movie about the electric guitar, obviously showcasing how you can get famous even if you’re mediocre at it.
Annihilator release free album. ‘If you can’t fight them, join them’ said their lead singer, referring to their fans who refuse to waste money on their stuff. Get it here.
Lordi (pictured above), the band who looks like Slipknot after an acid bath, won the ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ by hacking their website a few years ago. It paid off, as now they sold a whooping 1,000 copies in the United States, and those are just from dumb Lord of The Rings fans who thought it was a spin-off CD. These contests work, folks.
Dave Navarro: Eco-terrorist
Is low IQ contagious? Because it seems Dave Navarro caught some from his ex-wife Carmen Electra, and joined the “noble” cause of PETA. He will be honored on their 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards, just like many hypocrite celebrities before who’ve used this to boost their damaged careers. Well, we hope he gets treated like the animals PETA saves.
He also (very vaguely) tried to explain what’s going on with his band Jane’s Addiction, which for years now seems to be stuck in a cycle of breaking up, reforming, changing line-ups, and not releasing any music. You can read about it here.
And, if you’re feeling particularly brave today, make the jump and see the meaningful and tastefully done PETA promo poster with Navarro himself. Be warned because it’s neither of the two.
Deathrider's to play Show with Philm
Neil Turbin, you know the guy who sang on the first Anthrax album ‘Fistful of Metal’, including crowd favorite ‘Deathrider’, and now plays with his band Deathriders in backyards and parking lots is going to play a show with Philm, post hardcore side project of Dave Lombardo.

Guitar Heroes
Having effectively flushed his solo career down the toilet, Chris Cornell and the reformed Soundgarden are eager to announce a “groundbreaking” deal that will bring their “new” album, entitled Telephantasm, to the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock video game, one week prior to the launch of the album. “Awesome”. If you’re too lazy to pick up a real instrument and want to hear some crappy b-sides, click here for more info.
But why is Slash in the picture above, one might ask?
Well, it seems our favorite clown has been truly busy lately. Amongst other thrilling activities, which you have been able to read about here at Dose of Metal, he’s found time to get involved with Jimi Hendrix: Guitar Hero DVD. Fortunately for us, this is not another Guitar Hero game. Unfortunately for us, someone thought Slash was a good choice for a narrator. Blasphemy, we know.
Read more about the DVD here, view trailer for it after the jump.
