Them Crooked Vultures can cause ear problems

Them Crooked Vultures is the perfect example of how supergroups don’t work. Having a few awesome musicians together doesn’t guarantee great material.

I love Zeppelin, like QOTSA and can tolerate The Foo Fighters, so when I heard about this band a few years ago I said ‘AWESOME!’. But then I heard their album…

Well, someone who attended one of their shows got tinnitus from it — then killed himself. I am really tempted to insert a joke here, but it’s not really funny, is it?

A rock music fan apparently took his life after battling to get treatment for debilitating tinnitus, an inquest heard yesterday. Father-of-two Robert McIndoe, 52, was unable to sleep for three months after attending a concert that left him with a permanent  ringing in his ears.

Read full article here.

You know what, that’s pretty sad. There’s nothing worse than having medical problems that prevent you from sleeping, must be very frustrating. Oh, and my ears ring after every concert, now I’m gonna be paranoid all the time while the ringing lasts. “Will it go on forever???”

R.I.P. to the guy and best of wishes to his family. I hope we can all learn from his mistake — Do not see this band live.

Rihannica

Rihanna sucks. She doesn’t just suck though, she really sucks (although I wouldn’t complain if she were to suck… never mind). If you like Rihanna, you probably have the taste of a dead corpse (yes, as opposed to those live corpses you sometimes see). Honestly, the day she stops releasing music would be a great day indeed.

By now, you’re probably wondering what Rihanna has to do with metal. Well, it turns out she has sampled some of Metallica‘s ‘Whereever I May Roam’ for her new song, ‘Red Lipstick’, which is just horrendous. First we have to listen to Lou Reed mumbling senile crap over the top of Metallica, and now we have to listen to Rihanna whining over some ‘Tallica riffs. Is nothing sacred?

As I Lay Dying’s Decas is out – I had no fucking idea

Turns out that As I Lay Dying released their cheap cash-in EP this past week (or last week – what am I? Your teacher?), which consisted of covers no one wanted to hear, remixes no one wanted to hear, as well as a couple of new tracks, again, no one wanted to hear. I didn’t really realize, as, well, I’m too busy getting laid and working a job.

The funny thing? It managed to sell over 9,500 copies in its first week, which is a bit shit, but not that many less than Lulu.

You can listen to ‘Paralyzed’, taken from the new EP, above. I tried listening to it myself, but for some unknown reason it fucked up after 10 seconds, which I took as a sign I shouldn’t listen to it. Thanks God. Now if you can just sort it out for Katy Perry to be in my bed when I wake up, like I asked for in my prayer weeks ago, then all would be cool. Amen.

Do you like Pantera and dinosaurs?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve always wished for a band to somehow juxtapose Pantera songs with a dinosaurs theme. I’m not gonna explain why I think that’s awesome, but if you are anything like me, it’s your lucky fucking day!

MetalSucks writes:

“As I learned via our friend Mark Vieira on Twitter today, there actually is a band in Los Angeles called Panteradactyl. On their Facebook page, they describe themselves in this simple manner:  We dress up like dinosaurs and play Pantera songs.’ And they’re not kidding.”

How awesome is that, dude? Honestly, I want these guys to play at my son’s funeral!

Devin Townsend likes it big

Devin Townsend is currently planning the biggest show of his career, set to take place next October in London (wow, in my country? Awesome). Who knows, maybe between now and then my girlfriend might have texted me back.

This news comes after last week’s highly successful the Devin Townsend Project shows in London. Devin commented:

“So here’s the next big gig: Next October 27th, at the amazing Roundhouse in London, We’re putting on the most definitive ‘Devin‘ show to date. A culmination of my ENTIRE career with a star lineup and full supporting cast. The show is being called ‘The Retinal Circus’, (named after an old Vancouver club in the ’60s, famous for psychedelic rock shows) and will be more than just a musical performance… there will be an art exhibition, actors, Ziltoid, stilt walkers, fire breathers… you name it.”

Wait a second… art exhibition? Stilt walkers? Jeeze, I just want to go to a metal gig, have a few drinks, maybe punch a few kids and hopefully see some tits at the end of it. I don’t need any art crap thanks.
