Sabbath reunion is pretty much official
In a new article posted on Billboard.com, Tony Iommi says the band (Black Sabbath, well DUH) met at Ozzy’s home earlier this year, to see if they are still (probably physically) able to play their shit. He also says he’d like to finally put out a new album, and I don’t really see the Friday announcement being anything other than confirmation of the rumors.
I mean, I doubt that Sharon would hurt her brand (Ozzy) by pissing off the fanbase once again, it would just be a bad business decision. But it’s not like she’s always done right, just look at Kelly Osbourne’s music career. What music career? Exactly.
Regardless, I am actually looking forward to this, so all the best guys, and may you all live in good health for at least a few more years.
Holy shit you guys, Black Veil Brides are rebelling!
Wow, I’d hate to be a parent of a 13 year old teenage girl, because music like this is probably the soundtrack to her life — no one understands her, the cutie goth kid totally didn’t reblog her anti-establishment gifs on Tumblr, and on top of it all, she has to deal with parents who are concerned about her general well being and not being used by the 16 year old sleezeballs who go around wearing Black Veil Brides t-shirts in school and smoking menthol cigarettes during lunch break.
Tough luck sweetie, but at least you can look forward to the new EP by Black Veil Brides, titled Rebels. #occupyhottopic
Hey, one final note, did you notice I managed to make fun of them without mentioning their appearance, even once. I should get a freaking medal.
You can watch two trailers for the EP right after the jump, but you probably won’t. Who can blame you?
Queen performs at the EMAs
The legendary Queen (or what’s left of it) have performed a medley on this year’s European Music Awards in Belfast. Unfortunately, they still haven’t figured out a way to resurrect dead people, so no second coming of God Freddy Mercury for now. Instead, they’ve had help from an American Idol finalist, Adam Lambert.
I know what you’re thinking, so let me beat you to it:
1) The guy looks like a crossover of a goth chick and Elvis Presley
Still…
2) Dude can sing. I mean, we can make fun of American Idol all we want, but the guy obviously has a strong voice.
Which finally leads me to
3) Hoping they keep this a “one off” type of a deal and don’t get any crazy ideas.
You can watch the video of the performance above, thanks to Blabbermouth for the heads up.
Rammstein to drop a schlager this Friday
Rammstein are releasing a greatest hits collection on December 2, titled Made in Germany 1995-2011. To make this sort of worth your money, the collection will also feature a new song, Mein Land (German for My Country, boom, how awesome am I for knowing this).
The single (and the video) for the song will be released this Friday (11.11.11.), and the promos for it have been pretty funny, in a typical Rammstein-y ironic manner. Wanna see Rammstein go Baywatch? Someone’s compiled all the promos for it so far, and you can watch them in the clip above.
If you make the jump, you can also find the cover artwork for the single, which explains the “schlager” in the post title. If you have no idea what a schlager is, you are definitely not from a German speaking country or a former Yugoslavian one, but luckily, Wikipedia speaks English.
Lemmy is honest about his looks
Lemmy is not the most handsome guy in the world, but his moles have been licked by more women than I have masturbated to, so I give the guy a lot of credit.
In a recent interview with Daily Record, Lemmy said women are not as keen on sleeping with them as they once were…
“Women don’t go to extreme lengths to get at Motorhead no more. We’re too ugly and old. […] Gene Simmons of Kiss slept with 5000 and took pictures of them all and put them on his fridge I didn’t take pictures of all of mine because I started before there was Polaroids.”

Haha, this guy would make a fortune writing one-liners for t-shirts. 1,000 women, imagine that. I only slept with about 800, so I’m behind Lemmy, but getting there.
Keep up the good work, Lem. Get to that 2,000 number.
