Meet the biggest mouth in the world
I don’t think a bigger mouth than Steven’s exists, so if you want to witness the 9th wonder of the world in person, there’s a chance for you to do that.
Where? At Macy’s at Herald Square in NYC.
Just make sure to bring a camera with a very wide lens, if you want to take a photo of the whole thing.
I don’t have any other details to offer, maybe because I’m lazy. This is a good opportunity to learn how to use Google, dammit. I’m not your fucking slave.

Mike’s heart will go on… and on
Besides his heart, Mike Portnoy’s drama with Dream Theater is also going on and on and on. Even before you click on the link with the interview, let’s play a guessing game: Did he mention he’s sad because the band continued without him? Did he say he hopes to someday reunite with his former bandmates? Did he blame metal blogs for making fun of him? And did he give people more fuel for their fire when he said his heart is broken?
Yes, yes, yes and god why did he have to say it, but yes. Read the interview here, and make the jump to hear a special song relating to Mike Portnoy’s current predicament.
Velvet Revolver – The search continues
Velvet Revolver are one step closer to finding a new singer (just 20949,09494 steps to go!). The band responsible for terrible GnR rip-off songs have been searching for a singer to join their band for three years.
Apparently, Slash and Duff have been auditioning possible vocalists since Scott Weiland left in 2008. However, a few weeks ago, the band performed a number of songs together in New York — including their only good song ‘Slither,’ with Jimmy Gnecco, vocalist for the band Ours. Who the hell are Ours? Maybe it was meant to be used in the context of “Our(s) singer is leaving to join Guns N’ Poses. If we let him leave, then we might get popular!”
Speaking to Noisecreep, Duff stated:
“None of us have really tried [to find anyone] in the last few years. We’ve all been busy with other things. I think once that whole thing went down with Scott, we thought we’d find a guy right away. Once a few months went by, it was like, ‘Oh fuck.’“
I hope they do get a new singer. Maybe then Kerrang won’t write stories about them anymore! The only reason I read Kerrang, by the way, is because the 12 year old emo girl I abducted reads it, too. See, I’m not deranged.
Dave Mustaine is feeling good after surgery
In spite of the expression on his face above, Dave is feeling better after surgery!
“10/5 was two week check-up. Looks good! Feels great!! Start physical therapy Monday. More Tread Climber until then.“

Good news, I guess. Nothing to add, just happy my little ginger metalhead is feeling good.
Zakk Wylde is grateful
Zakk Wylde remains ‘eternally’ grateful to both Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Don’t believe me? Here:
“I mean, what more could Ozzy do for me? He introduced me to the world and then on top of it, Mom and the Boss always had me opening up on the Ozzfest and helping me all the time, so I mean, how could I not be eternally grateful to them?“

He calls Sharon ‘Mom’ and Ozzy ‘Boss’? Haha. Awesome.
Anyway, I really respect him for being grateful and not biting the hand that fed him, way too many people simply forget that you were the one who helped them, the moment they get to a high place.
Kudos to you, Zakk. Or should I call you ‘Dad’? Hehe
