Rita got interviewed
I don’t really like commenting on musician’s personal lives, cause I don’t actually know them, so it’s not really my place — but I do it anyway, because why wouldn’t I?
Vinnie and Phil haven’t spoken to each other since Pantera split up. After Dimebag’s death, Vinnie blamed Phil for it, which is fucking stupid. But nowadays Rita, Dime’s girlfriend, is forgiving Phil and is urging Vinnie to do it as all.
To be honest, I do agree that Dime would have probably forgiven Phil if he was still alive. I really doubt he wanted any animosity between Vinnie, Rex and Phil, so they should all kiss and make up and honor Dime together. That’s how I see it.
Check the interview above to see Rita agreeing with me. Can’t blame her, I’m awesome.
In other merch news: Slayer have released their own brand of condoms
You can read that again: Slayer have released their own brand of condoms. They’re apparently sold out (condoms), but you can check the product order page to see when they’ll restock.
This seriously has to be the dumbest idea for merchandise ever, simply due to the name. Slayer condoms. God-damn. I’ll leave the jokes up to you, but I do have to admit I found the description on their page funny: “For when you’re going South of Heaven!”
Check the condom page at Slayer Store to buy some., check the original article at Metal Hammer, and make the jump to see a photo.
It’s getting hot in here
And I’m already out of my clothes so this pun kinda lost it’s purpose. It is really hot around here, 40 degrees or more (Celsius for the motherfucking win), and my only fan ain’t blowing hard enough. Pun retrieved.
Anywho, I’d kill for a beer right now. Which is why this news piece made me even thirstier: Amon Amarth have their own brand of beer out!
A beer for the end of ages brewed with our friends in the band AMON AMARTH. This Aesir Porter is a robust and hearty beer brewed with local honey and a small portion of smoked malt. When Heimdall sounds the Giallar-horn this is the beer to be hoisted by the gods in anticipation of the coming battle.
Now excuse me while I try to enter the fridge and pretend I’m in the picture above. Photo of the beer after the jump.
How Lou Reed made Femmetallica cry
It’s more Metallica & Lou Reed shinfo time, guys. This time it’s kinda funny though, because we get to hear what makes Kirk and James cry like little girls.
Hammett tells Pulse of Radio: “I had just lost my father three or four weeks previously. I had to run out of the control room and I found myself standing in the kitchen, sobbing away.
James came into the kitchen in the same condition, sobbing too. It was insane. Lou managed to take out both guitar players in Metallica in one fell swoop with his amazing poetic lyrics.”
The lyrics in question are: “Say hello to Junior Dad, the greatest disappointment – age withered and changed him.”
I can’t really comment on the lyrics because I’m not in the same situation as those guys (James’ father left their family when he was 13). Still, I can kinda imagine the scene and it makes me chuckle a bit. I mean seriously, with the album title such as Lulu and stories like these, they might seriously consider changing their name to the one in the title. Oh well, I’m going to hell anyway, so I’m taking some of you with me.
Korn names their new album. Dude, like, totally.
Korn‘s new brostep/nu metal project just got named, and holy shit, it blows. I mean, it sucks more than Korn III: Remember Who You Are. It even sucks more than that time they couldn’t figure out a title for an album. Without further ado, their new album is called *drumroll*
The Path to Totality
Totality of what? Massive suckage? Well, they’re on the right path if that’s the case.
Anyway, the album’s release date has been pushed to November 15, to allow time for promotion, videos etc. Their tenth studio album began as an idea for a collaborative EP with today’s hottest dubstep producers, and since has grown into a full-blown studio effort. More info after the jump.
