Start your Thursday with some Trivium
…because Thursday are awful, and if you can’t beat them, join them. You know I’m kidding, because my Trivium tattoos testify my love for the band (they’re non-existent), but hey, lots of people say they’re a fun live band, and our own Mark gave their new album a pretty decent score when he reviewed it.
Second part of the Tilburg, Holland show can be seen if you make the jump (despite both video clips having “1 of 2” in their title). Thanks goes out to: Blabbermouth
Corey Taylor disses Scott Weiland
Corey Taylor, the guy who released a Christmas song last year AND begged people on the internet to get it to #1, is now accusing Scott Weiland of selling out because he put a Christmas album out. Awesome.
“More and more people are only interested in money than fucking doing anything that’s good. I’m not saying everyone, but there’s a lot of fucking people out there who would rather just take your money and leave you with nothing,” he warned the audience. “I’ll give you another example. Does anyone know who Scott Weiland is? Do you know that Scott Weiland has a Christmas album now? Oh, it’s bad. It’s bad.“
Well, at least he didn’t call him a lazy piece of shit. Oh wait…
“There is a video online of him singing, and he’s very serious. ‘Cause Christmas is serious. His hair is all slicked back and he’s in his shitty tuxedo […] and I’m just like, ‘Why?’ It’s not that he’s a bad singer, ’cause he’s not. I love STP, I love some of the shitt that he did with Velvet Revolver. It’s not that he’s a bad fucking singer. He’s a lazy piece of shit, is what he is at this point.“

Corey seems to have an opinion on anything and everything, so hey, more power to him if he wants to do the whole ‘musician feud’ thing which is so 1999.
BUT, why invoke a Christmas album as a reason for selling out, when he did a Christmas song himself? It’s like Dino Cazares making fun of Michael Moore for eating too much.
Dave Mustaine can solve the world’s problems
Dave Mustaine doesn’t care for “Occupy Wall Street,” because the guy clearly ‘gets it’ and ‘sees the big picture.’ He also calls Michael Moore fat.
“Everyone needs to shut up about this whole Occupy Wall Street thing. I think the protesters have very good intentions, but it’s an example of good being misled. The President is setting these guys up to be dead in the road. Everyone should protest at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue if they want some change. I also really hate some of these bleeding hearts, like Michael Moore, the fat dude who does these exposés. We don’t need more of that; we need lower taxes and governments that listen.“
If you think Dave is not onto what the government is trying to do, think again. He got the master plan figured out.
“My current fixation is that I’m sadly mesmerized by watching the news and how the government is destroying this country. It’s pretty obvious to me that they’re trying to get rid of the middle class. It also seems like we’re moving more towards a single world currency, and I find that very frightening.“

DAVE MUSTAINE 2012!!! YES HE CAN!
By the way… Did I make a full HOPE poster with Dave? Of course I have. See it after the jump.
Judas Priest rig rundown
Ever wondered what Judas Priest‘s rig was like during their Epitaph tour? Well, me neither, but watch the video, dammit.
Another one after the jump.
Learn how to play like Killswitch Engage
According to Blabbermouth, Lick Library is to release a ‘Learn To Play Killswitch Engage‘ double disc DVD, a collection of classic tracks to help you learn the best riffs and solos from the popular metalcore band.
I could save you some money though and teach you how to play like Killswitch Engage right now. First learn a typical At The Gates or In Flames riff (Whichever you prefer). Next learn a melodic piece suitable for a chorus. Then learn a typical hardcore breakdown. Finally, repeat ad nauseam.
