Guns N’ Roses live at Rock in Rio footage

Look at the  size of the crowd this tribute band have pulled. Phenomenal right?

Guns N’ Roses headlined the Rock in Rio festival last night and you can watch pro-shot footage of the band performing ‘Chinese Democracy’ above.

The band (or more specifically, Axl) sound like shit, but if you fancy checking out more footage, take a look at Blabbermouth.

Prizes have been won, brix have been shat

It’s Sunday, October 2nd, and this means all three of our giveaways are now over.

Giveaway 1 | Giveaway 2 | Giveaway 3

The bad news: If you entered but didn’t receive an email saying you’ve won, it means you didn’t win.
The good news: We’ll have a fourth giveaway tomorrow, and we’ll have 5 prizes for you, which means they will rock your faces off!

You’d think we’d stop sending you shit after three entire contests, but we’re Dose of Metal, that means we’re awesome, and we’ve got shit to give away…

Anyway, thanks for reading this site and entering the contests, we’ve had entries from all over the world, and the lucky winners are all from different countries, which makes it kind of cool, since contests are usually pretty restrictive and only cover North America and Europe.

So yeah, hope you’ve had a great weekend, and feel free to enter the contest tomorrow, doesn’t matter if you entered the previous contests or not, or if you won. Anyone and everyone can win stuff at Dose of Metal. Cause we be from the streets, yo!

Have a nice day.

Boredom + lack of news =

So with all the Lulu talk over the last few weeks (it’s going to suck, I don’t really care, I won’t listen to it), I figured ‘why not listen to some music from Metallica that doesn’t suck donkey penis?’

Thus, I am posting their cover of ‘Whiskey in the Jar’ (made well known by Thin Lizzy). Yes, it isn’t Metal, and yes, it’s a cover, but it’s a damn good one. Plus it has lesbians in the video, and any video with lesbians is good in my books.

Gojira will enter studio next month

When I first read this news, I was thinking “wow, well October is just around the corner”, and then I realized, we are in October (where does time fly to?). So that means, come November, Gojira will be entering the studio to record the new album, scheduled for release in early 2012.

In other news, the band were also working on the Sea Sheperd EP, but this has been delayed due to some of the material being lost on a hard drive which has crashed. For what ever reason, I guess the band didn’t think of backing up their work, huh?

For more information, check out Blabbermouth.

Lulu makes AJFA sound like the first Ramones album, according to Lars Ulrich

Rolling Stone conducted an interview with both Lou Reed and members of Metallica, and it’s mostly the same cliché stuff like “You have to feel it” and “This is really unique!” (yes, they really say those things).

But one quote definitely caught my attention:

“a few days after Lulu is mastered, Ulrich describes listening to the album on a late-night car ride. ‘I was overwhelmed,’ he confesses. ‘I also felt,’This is really unique.” How unique? He laughs. ‘This makes… And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album.‘”

Say what? Dude, is you crazy?

Listen, AJFA is my favorite Metallica album, and I consider it their best (or second best, really on par with MoP). How can you even include that album when talking about this experimental stuff? Jeez, Lars, I’m so disappointed.

I get that the guys are trying to hype up their release, I also get that they might be proud of it, but leave the 80s Metallica albums out of it, for the love of God, it’s borderline blasphemous to use them in the same sentence.
