Metallica rewards volunteers
As reported earlier, a 7.2 earthquake hit the city of Christchurch in New Zealand, threatening to cancel Metallica‘s shows there. The band assured everyone that they would continue as planned, but now that student volunteers are cleaning up the city, Metallica decided to reward them. How? With Metallica tickets of course. No meet and greet, no autographs, hell… Not even a t-shirt. Just a ticket.

If you’re like me though, you’re probably wondering: “How did the guys come up with such a great reward?” — Assumption after the jump
Rose 'N' Friends perform acoustic show in Paris
Either Axl Rose, the nice guy that just doesn’t understand “immigrants and faggots”, has gone senile in his old age, or no one has got round to telling the ginger singer that Guns N’ Roses died over 17 years ago.
Regardless, a band of hired professional musicians and one commercially-minded opportunist insist in making use of the name for what I can only assume is, the music and definitely not the money right? Axl Rose, now looking more like a Jerry Springer contestant, finally released his Chinese Democracy album in 2008 and has been playing a number of shows since.
If you want to see a really bad tribute band turn up an hour late and then throw onstage hissy fits resulting in the show being cut short, then (hired) Guns N’ Rose may be the band for you.
The washed up Axl Rose and his bandmates recently performed an acoustic set in Paris the other day. If you want to see some footage from this performance, don’t bother. They’re shit. But really, if you do, just click the read more button.

More Rob Zombie bullshit
Awful-rocker-turned-awful-filmmaker Rob Zombie is now working on a special project. And wouldn’t you know it? It’s a haunted house. What a surprise!
So much diversity in Rob’s career, I wonder how he can re-invent himself so many times. A mystery, I know.

The film no one was waiting for
Marilyn Manson is a man of many talents. Singing… Dressing up like a clown… Well, that’s it really, but apparently he’s also a filmmaker. Or so he says.
The not-anticipated teaser trailer of his directorial debut, “Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll,” just hit the net and apparently caused so much backlash, that production has been shut down.
Now, I’ve seen the trailer and it looks like a pretentious Aphex Twin video, so I have a hard time believing everyone got so shocked, especially coming from him. But hey, you can go HERE and check it out for yourself.
When asked if this is, in fact, just a publicity stunt, Marilyn Manson pointed to his missing rib.
