Judas Priest rock North America

Judas Priest kicked off their North American tour last night as part of their famous farewell (but not quite farewell) tour. Footage of the band performing ‘Living After Midnight’ at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, can be viewed above.

The setlist and shit can be found at Blabbermouth.

Fred Durst is a professional joke

As a change from the comedy project he’s currently involved in, Limp Bizkit, frontman Fred Durst has signed a deal with CBS to star in a new sitcom.

The half-an-hour show, currently titled as ‘Douchebag’ (perhaps autobiographical?), will star Fred as a “rock legend” (oh no, wait, my mistake, not autobiographical after all) trying to juggle his family and his famous-person lifestyle. The program will be written by Matthew Carlson (‘Mr. Sunshine’), who will executive-produce with CBS TV studios-based producers Eric and Kim Tannenbaum. In addition, Fred’s manager/producer John Schneider will serve as a non-writing producer.

My heart just sank.  Please excuse the short post, I’m off now to cry into my pillow 🙁

Who wants Korn? Who wants Korn?

Guys, I have some good news and some bad news.

Good news first: Korn have put up Narcissistic Cannibal, their first single from the upcoming wubstep/nu metal album The Path of Totality up for grabs on their website (they also released the lyrics video which is posted above). No Facebook likes required, you don’t have to give them your email, and the song comes in quality wav format.

Bad news: it’s still a Korn song. If you really feel like it, you can download it here.

Weekly Dose of Metal: Biomechanical

Another awesome dose of Metal for you this week. Awesome, because it’s me posting, and Metal, because this is Dose of Metal of course.

I’ve also learned an amazing new skill this week, which is great for a lazy, hungover, delinquent like myself. It’s called copy and pasting, and linking.
