Bruce Dickinson likes to fly

We all know Iron Maiden flies in a big ass plane which looks pretty badass. We also know Bruce flies that thing, because he loves it. But what we don’t know is that I have a huge penis, and I’m pretty much handsome, smart and successful.

I don’t have a NSFW video to prove that to you, but I have a very-SFW video about Bruce. Not that he’s more interesting than I am, or anything, but it’s all I have for you today.

Disturbed hiatus blamed on disturbed music industry

Music industry, on behalf of everyone at Dose Of Metal, we thank you for this. We feel like winners of the “Make A Wish Foundation,” only we’re not dying of cancer. And if you thought that joke was in poor taste, it’s actually quite tame when you compare it to this:

Three terminally ill cancer patients are talking to each other. Someone asks: “Guys, what would you like your friends and relatives to say about you at your funeral?” — The first guy says “That I was a great, fun-loving guy who loved everyone.” The second guy says “That I was a wonderful husband, wonderful father and great at my job.”  The third guy says “I’d like to hear them say ‘Holy shit, he’s moving!!!'”.

So yeah, Disturbed frontman David “Uhhh-ah-ah-ah-ah” Draiman talked about his band’s hiatus, and apparently it’s the music industry’s fault. So all these years of illegal downloads finally paid off, huh?

“Many of those reasons are have to do with the state of the music industry in general and, you know, the demise of hard rock and heavy metal right now, and I think it’s just a good time for Disturbed, after 10 to 12 years straight of touring, to go away for a little while and kind of wait for the phoenix to rise from the ashes here. […] It’s frightening times right now, and it’s just a good time for us to go away.“

To be honest, I don’t like Disturbed so I don’t care, but it’s really sad to see what’s popular these days and how awful everything else is doing.

Shawn Drover loves his new album

If you didn’t realize by now, musicians love hyping up their upcoming albums, and things are no different with Shawn Drover of Megadeth. It’s not like he’s biased or anything, but apparently the album is ‘still metal’ and sounds ‘awesome.’

Guys, by the way, we’re gonna write some articles this week, and they will be awesome. I mean, honestly, they’re fucking brilliant. Metal and literally brilliance.

Watch the interview above and then stay tuned for more amazing writing from us. Kings!

Slipknot have a photo exhibition

I have to admit, Slipknot do photograph well with the masks. That’s the only thing I like about this gimmick, I mean look at the photo above, it’s rather cool. But is it cool enough to warrant a photo exhibition? I don’t think so, but others may disagree:

“‘Kerrang! Presents: Slipknot – A Photographic Exhibition by Paul Harries Sponsored By Relentless Energy Drink,’ which was held at the Strand Gallery from July 12 to July 24, featured over 60 photographs spanning Paul Harries’ 12 years of unparalleled access to the Iowan metal legends. Now that the exhibition has closed, Paul has made the shots available to view online.“

Read full article here. Photos are here.

Yeah, they could have used a shorter title, don’t you think? That’s not even a title, it’s a novel.

Here at Dose of Metal, we’re opening our own photo exhibition. It’s called ‘Dose Of Metal! Presents: Photos – A photographic journey through a lot of useless photos no one gives a fuck about sponsored by Dose Of Metal.’ Attend, or die.

Weak Recap: Simo’s back!

You guys remember Simo, right? He took a two-month break from the interwebz, to see if this ‘real life’ thing is as good as people say it is. Once he realized talking to a girl in real life is not as easy as on Facebook, he came back. With a vengeance.

Okay, so maybe not with a vengeance, but he came back. And now I get to interview him, which is not an honor and a privilege.

We’ll talk about a lot of things, a lot of boring things, so I’m not gonna lie to you… It will be a pretty boring article, so don’t bother reading this further. It will only make you waste a lot of valuable time.

But if you’ve got nothing better to do, make the jump and read what two people who rarely get laid (and when they do, it ends in tears) have to say about this past week’s articles.

Enjoy! (you won’t, trust me, but I like being optimistic)
