As I Lay Dying Cover 3rd Best Judas Priest song

Metalcore act As I Lay Dying recently recorded and released a classic Judas Priest song.  The song they covered was ‘Electric Eye’ and it will be appearing on As I Lay Dying‘s upcoming album, Decas, which looks to be full of remixes and cover songs.

If you’re interesting for the stream and for other information regarding the upcoming As I Lay Dying release, then check out Blabbermouth.

As for my opinion on the actual song, well… let’s just say I’d rather have a picture of Susan Boyle fully nude, tattooed on the inside of my eyelids for a day, than listen to As I lay Dying cover ‘Electric Eye one more time or anything else from their upcoming release.  My god, that was awful.

Good news: SOAD album not happening too soon

System of a Down, a band of Armenian immigrants who came to the U.S. to achieve a great level of fame and success, and then decided to just bite the hand that feeds and heavily criticize the very same country that gave them everything, are not releasing a new album anytime soon. Phee-fucking-ew.

When asked in a recent interview about it, drummer John Dolmayan had this to say:

We’re gonna take it day by day. We still have a few more shows to do in South America […] and then we’re gonna home. We don’t generally work during Christmas and New Year’s — that’s a time for our family and stuff — so we’ll be home for the next three or four months. And then Serj takes off and goes to New Zealand for a couple of months. And then I think he’s got another solo album coming out next summer. So you might see SOAD touring next summer, you might not. But for the people who are waiting for an album — I know there’s a lot of people waiting for an album; I’m waiting for an album just like they are. It’s gonna happen when it’s right and when we can make something that tops what we’ve done in the past.

Awesome news, guys. So at the very best, they’ll start working on the new album around this time next year. Which means a 2012 with decidedly less bad music.

System of a thumbs up! — I know it’s a bad joke, but fuck you!

Rush drummer gets DVD

Say what you will about Rush or their music, but Neil Peart is an amazing drummer.

His new instructional DVD will be out this month, and if you like drums, you should probably get it. Watching this guy play makes my day.

He actually taught God how to play drums! I keed, I keed, there is no God…

Deftones are bringing vinyl back

Deftones are a band that was mildly popular in the late 90s/early 2000s. You know, back when nu-metal was big.

Apparently they want to acknowledge the nostalgia factor that still keeps them going in 2011, by releasing their albums on vinyl, yet another nostalgic object which only sells because people are, well, nostalgic.

This fall, Reprise Records will release a limited edition vinyl box set from Deftones. ‘Deftones: The Vinyl Collection, 1995 – 2011’ will be available October 25 exclusively via Deftones.com and BecauseSoundMatters.com. The collection is a seven-album (8 LP) retrospective containing the band’s six studio albums — 1995’s ‘Adrenaline,’ 1997’s ‘Around The Fur,’ 2000’s ‘White Pony,’ 2003’s ‘Deftones,’ 2006’s ‘Saturday Night Wrist,’ and 2010’s ‘Diamond Eyes,’ and the limited-edition 2011 Record Store Day release ‘Covers.’

Wow, that sounds like a great thing to buy, if you have the musical tastes of a prepubescent boy stuck in 2001.

Metallica will put the M in MTV

Metallica‘s Indian concert, happening on October 28 in Delhi, will be broadcast by MTV. Now, I don’t know if it’s just MTV India, as this article seems to suggest, or if it will be picked up by every MTV in the world…

After refurbishing indie music on Roots, Coke studio and Unplugged, MTV India will broadcast the first concert of world-renowned metal band ‘Metallica’ in India. […] MTV reaches approx 130 million people across 40 million homes and it’s a huge thing for MTV to broadcast the most awaited concert in India in association with F1 Rocks. Metallica concert will boost the Indian economy as international acts tend to do well in the live-music circuit in an emerging economy like India.

Read full article here.

You know you’ve made it when you can ‘boost’ the economy of the second biggest country in the world, with a single performance.

You can still buy tickets for this gig right here, in case you want to see yourself on MTV.

When asked if his band can boost anyone’s economy, Dave Mustaine just made an impression of Lars and got mad.
