James Hetfield’s house is bigger than your country

You know you’re filthy rich when your city has to pay $650,000 to build a road around your property.

“Work is under way on a Northern California hiking trail being built at a cost of more than $650,000 to bypass the home of Metallica front man James Hetfield. […] The new path stems from a 2008 dispute in which Hetfield erected a metal fence blocking a portion of the old trail running through in Marin County land. He complained trail users were damaging his property.“

That metal fence is the only metal thing about James these days. And if you’re wondering why that is, well, let’s just say he would have lived in a much smaller house had he stuck to thrash metal.

Tuesday Trivia: 44 Minutes

You guys remember our Tuesday Trivia, right? Well, it was Simo’s creation, and he took a leave of absence from the interwebs, so we decided not to do it weekly anymore. Can’t step on other people’s toes, you know?

But from time to time, we will write one, and it’s that time again. So brace yo’selves, bitches, Alex is gonna learn you something today.

Today’s TT focuses on Megadeth‘s song ’44 Minutes.’ You know it, you like it, but do you know what it’s about?

The name itself is from a movie, a movie which documents one of the most intense shootouts L.A.P.D. has ever seen. A shootout that lasted 44 minutes and ended with both robbers dead. But what do the lyrics mean, what happened in the real shootout and how good is the actual movie? Make the jump to find out.

Today’s Dose Of Metal sells… But who’s buying?

What do you mean I can’t post a Megadeth song? I listen to them everyday.

Considering I’ve talked about Megadeth today, and will talk some more in an upcoming article (which I’ll post soon, stay tuned yo), I think it’s only fitting that I post this live version of ‘Peace Sells.’

This performance is from the Danish Roskilde Festival, famous for their nudity. Yeah, they have naked runs and unisex communal showers. If you’re a pervert, you should definitely go there. I sure as hell will.

Anyway, want to see Dave rocking a ginger goatee while playing this epic song? Watch the video above.

Metalheadlines: Boring Tuesday edition

We’ve had a lot of news today, but make no mistake about it, it’s still been a shit day. So enjoy these boring headlines as there’s not much else to post right now.

Machine Head‘s Robb Flynn (pictured above) says he doesn’t time songs when he’s writing them with his band. They’re just going off the vibe. He also calls Metallica their masters.

Anthrax‘s Worship Music album has a track list, at least according to Amazon.com. Don’t forget, they also have an album cover and a release date.

Meshuggah should buy me a new keyboard, because their names are a fucking mess. Guitarist Mårten Hagström (what?) talked to some Romanian chick about their upcoming album. I didn’t really read the interview, and neither should you.

This Is Hell have entered the studio for a new album. According to their vocalist, ‘they can’t wait’ — Neither can I. I want the record out as soon as possible, because I want to stop wanting to avoid music sites in fear of having to listen to it.

Yngwie Malmsteen has such an ego, he makes Dave Mustaine look like Gandhi. Apparently he’s touring North America now, so you can check out the dates right here. Problem is, I don’t know if those are concert dates, or just McDonald’s restaurants Yngwie plans to eat at.

Phil Labonte of All That Remains is auctioning his shoes. Now, I don’t want to be mean, cause this is for charity, but who the hell would pay a few hundred bucks for used footwear? If you can answer that question, then go here and start bidding.

Rob Zombie says he doesn’t really think of music when he’s not working on it. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t think of music, ever, and he has 4 studio albums that stand behind that statement.

That’s it for now, join us next time for more boring fucking headlines.

Godsmack drummer denies mature BJ

I don’t know about you guys, but if there is a rumor that I got a blowjob from a chick, I keep that badboy alive, even if it isn’t true. Why? Cause when the rumor is that you got laid (or blown), you should take it as a compliment.

Despite having a girl’s name, Shannon Larkin of Godsmack denies getting his drumstick licked. Now, when you’re a guy and share your first name with countless Playboy centerfolds, you should use every heterosexual rumor out there in your favor. This reminds me of when Steven Tyler, who wears tight leather shit, denied a similar rumor.

Anyway, here’s what he told another chick about it.

“You may have to excuse the crudeness here, but all I can say about that is, she sucked somebody’s dick that day but it wasn’t mine. […] That was shocking even to me and I’ve had a lot of shit said about me over the years but I figure, if I cheat on my wife it’s not going to be with a 60-year old. Evidentially, she is really into drummers.“

Read full interview here.

Well if the ‘chick’ is 60, I sort of understand it, but hey, Shannon and Amy talked about it like girls, probably when they went to the bathroom together to powder their noses, so is all good, yo.

Fuck it, that 60 year old blew me. Yep, I closed my eyes, thought of Megan Fox and just did it. Took me a while to get it going, especially because I could feel her old gums rubbing against my johnson tube, but once I got past the awkwardness of seeing her ‘teeth’ sitting in a glass of water, I entered that rotten mouth like a German tank enters a Polish village. What, too soon?
