Daily Dose Of Metal: Annihilator

I kinda jokes about Jeff Waters below, so it’s only fair that I should treat you all to ‘King Of The Hill.’

I hope I am forgiven, metal sons.

Mike Portnoy talks about 9/11

Mike Portnoy is a man of many talents. He plays drums, he plays.. Well, that’s it, really. So maybe I’m exaggerating, but still, check out what he has to say about September 11. You know, cause September 11 is right around the corner, and it will be its 10th anniversary, so we just have to hear what ever goddamn musician has to say about that tragedy.

“Dream Theater was working in NYC at the time mixing our album ‘Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence’ and I would’ve been driving in that afternoon for our session. But as the events of the morning unfolded, I found myself glued to the TV in disbelief as to what I was witnessing. It was all too surreal. I felt like I was watching a Will Smith Hollywood film. It couldn’t possibly be really happening.“

Woah, racist alert. So no matter what, if a building is up in flames, a black man has to be behind it, even if that black man happens to be an A-list movie star. Wow. I am speechless, Mike. Really?

I keed, I keed, he’s obviously referencing either ‘Independence Day,’ a movie about spaceships destroying major cities (which ironically is more believable than some of the 9/11 conspiracies, but let’s not go there… yet), or ‘Wild Wild West,’ such a huge bomb of a movie, it could literally take a few buildings down.

On the reals though, I know 9/11 is nothing to laugh at, but neither is South Park. Yet millions of people laugh at that crap show all the time…

But seriously,  I hope I haven’t offended anyone. We get a lot of traffic from New York so, in case you were offended, I sincerely apologize on behalf of my sober self.

Name-dropping Metallica makes headlines. Case in point

Jeff Waters of Annihilator decided to shed some light on a rumor no one even heard of. What rumor, you ask? About Metallica changing the name of their song to “Enter Sandman” after “Never, Neverland” was already taken by them.

I use the term ‘shed a light’ loosely, because he has no idea if the rumor is true or not. So all he does is tell the rumor one more time. Great, that will help. On with more interesting stories, Mr. Waters.

Rumor has it that I have an abnormally big schlong. Wonder why that rumor never makes it in the media. Maybe I also need to name-drop a few big bands, just to get the e-press going.

I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke.

Brand new interview with Sully Erna

Hey, I know what you’re thinking on this early Wednesday morning/afternoon/evening (what, you expect me to guess your time zone? Fuck you). You’re thinking that there’s still more things you don’t know about Godsmack frontman Sully Erna, that you really want to know, aren’t you? Well consider this your lucky day then.  Alice of Anchorage, Alaska’s KWHL 106.5 radio station, talked to Sully, and you can check out the audio interview below.

In other news, scientists have discovered that there is no God, with The Oracle, the fifth album from Godsmack, selling 117,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 1 on The Billboard chart, and thus disproving  the existence of any higher being. Either that, or it proves that “God works in mysterious ways”.

More over at Blabbermouth.

Note: We didn’t interview Sully, we just posted it here as news. It’s being passed around the web as our own, which is simply not the case. It was conducted by Alice of Anchorage, Alaska’s KWHL 106.5 radio station. We’re sorry for this misunderstanding, but it is not our fault since all we did was embed it here.

Tuesday Trivia: Tom Morello’s sexy secret

I just stumbled on this article which details Tom Morello’s early days in Los Angeles, where he moved after graduating from Harvard. The funny part? After the jump!
