Do you like Van Halen and men?
Van Halen‘s “Hot For Teacher” has been covered by that one show Glee. I honestly don’t know exactly what the show is about, so I’m assuming the clip above is from there. Maybe it isn’t, I really don’t know…
If you want to see Karl Pilkington do another VH classic, “Jump,” then make the JUMP! Get it? Haha, I’m priceless!
American Idol finalist slams Blabbermouth users
I have nothing against shows like American Idol if they truly launch great singers. That hasn’t really been the case yet, but I’m just saying you shouldn’t automatically hate someone just because he’s been on that show. But I guess this objective, unbiased thinking is the opposite of what some users on Blabbermouth are like.
Not to slam the site or anything, it’s the greatest source for metal news and the people writing comments are hilarious, but let’s be honest, if your claim to fame is a singing competition and you want to enter the ‘rock’ industry, expect people to be mean.
This is what American Idol alum James Durbin had to say about the site (and its users):
“That’s the whole thing about Blabbermouth. The people that are writing the articles are giving me great reviews and that’s all that matters to me. For every one person that is writing a bad comment, there are a hundred people saying great things. I’ve looked at Blabbermouth long before I was doing anything on this scale and I knew that people have always written stuff like that. It doesn’t matter if it’s someone from “Idol” or if it’s Dave Grohl, there are always nasty people out there. Like I said, for every one person that writes something nasty, a hundred people are saying something great. As soon as you see that nasty comment, that’s what kills you. It’s like, ‘Really? Am I really?’ I don’t read that stuff.“

“You don’t read that stuff” but here you are saying you read that stuff. My advice to musicians who read about themselves on Blabbermouth: You are successful, rich, and you’re getting laid. You’re the total opposite of most people who comment on these sites.
Don’t shoot the messenger: Korn have a new song out
*wubwubwub zzzzzzzzzzzz wubwubwub rrrrrrraaaaaaooooooo*
Machine Head threaten to ruin my birthday
When it comes to Machine Head, I’m like the girl who puts up with years of physical and emotional abuse because she knows that, deep down, he’s the same man she fell in love with during that amazing summer they shared like 20 years ago. Because I’m still hoping for 1994 Robb Flynn to sweep me off my feet and tell me everything is going to be OK, I always try to see Machine Head when they come to my city. So it goes without saying that I was excited to see this on Blabbermouth the other day:
San Francisco Bay Area metallers Machine Head will embark on a North American headlining tour…
Hey, they’re coming to town on my birthday! Sweet! Wait… what was the rest of that press release?
…with support from Suicide Silence, Darkest Hour and Rise To Remain.
Shit. I didn’t see that coming. Let’s see what we’re working with here (after the jump).
Andy McKee to play with Dream Theater
This is a bit old news, but here it goes anyway. According to Dreamtheater.net, the fantastic guitar player that Andy McKee is will be joining Dream Theater on stage during their American leg of the tour.
Dream Theater is excited to announce a unique treat for our fans! During the December leg of our current world tour, spectacular acoustic finger style guitarist Andy McKee will be our special guest for the San Diego and Anaheim shows in California, the Mesa Arizona show, and three shows in Mexico: Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City.
…lucky bastards… And I’m not going to make it any clearer whether I’m referring to concert goers or Dream Theater…
