Richard Fortus rig rundown

Ever wondered what makes Guns N’ Roses have such an awesome guitar sound? Me too, but Slash‘s rig is not in this clip, so you’ll have to wait. In the meantime, you can watch the clip above showing Richard Fortus and his rig. Close enough, right? Wrong, but hey, at least you get to see something.

So stop bitching.

Vince Neil likes tits! (o)(o)

Vince Neil likes boobies. I have the same passion. What I don’t have, is a gazillion bucks to build my own strip club in Las Vegas. Vince does, however.

“It’s something I always wanted to do, so it’s like a dream come true. But this will be different and unique. It will be the first rock and roll strip joint. It was a business opportunity to become a partner that was too good to pass up.“

Translation: I like tits, so making money showing tits sounds good to me.

Imagine listening to Mötley Crüe then getting a lap dance from a chick. It will confuse a lot of guys sexually.

Lyric videos suck

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, my first post in months, and it’s this? But I cannot stand lyrics videos. Something has to be said. Nothing is more pointless, lazy and obscene than the release of these so called “videos”. But hey, I get it, it makes marketing sense. Get the song out there as soon as you can with a cheaply put together lyric video. Then you can release a ‘proper’ video later down the line.

If you look above, Revoker have released a video for the track ‘Born to be an Outlaw’. Not only is it a lyric video though, the song also sucks, so don’t bother listening to it.

Seems like I’m not the only one with a crush on Cristina Scabbia

Let’s face it, metal doesn’t have a lot of hot chicks. In this genre, any chick that even remotely resembles a fuckable one is considered breathtaking.

So someone like Cristina Scabbia is a pretty rare thing. I have a semi as I’m writing this.

But check out my man David Ellefson trying the ol’ ‘let’s do a video update together’ line on her. You go, dude!

Of course, Dave talks to her about her favorite moment on stage and all of that, but we all know this is going through his mind: (o)(o)

I have more jokes in me, but my respect for the bro code forces me to end it right here.

Ghost are keeping things fresh. Too bad it’s not 1970.

Ghost are trying to keep things sounding contemporary. But their idea is to sound like they’re in the 70s, so they’re a bit behind with the times.

“A lot of stoner and doom bands, they wanna sound like a lo-fi band, so they basically want to sound unproduced, whereas the idea of Ghost is to sound like a very, very expensive record back from the ’70s — like a really produced, top-notch record from that time. I guess that makes us a bit different from a lot of the bands that try to sound like a ’70s band.”

Aww, so ‘The Artist’ won a lot of Oscars by emulating old cinema, and bands are trying to pull it off as well, huh? That’s cute.

I want to write for a site that has a 90s vibe to it. You know, with Geocities hosting, a lot of stolen gif animations, a few videos from Real Player and news about this awesome up-and-coming metal genre that has rap influences. Then I’m gonna go watch the Tom Green show.

Sweet!
