Fuck 2011
Not much left of this year, but I guess we won’t have too many posts these days since we’ll be busy getting into comas. We’ve scheduled some posts for January 1st, but that’s pretty much it for now.
I hope you guys have a great NYE, and here’s to another shitty great year of metal interwebz ranting.
Interview: Stefan Horn (Jack Slater, Excrementory Grindfuckers), part 2
It’s time for the second and final part of our interview with Stefan Horn of Jack Slater and the Excrementory Grindfuckers.
Yesterday we mainly talked about ballz and Tooncraft, Horn’s flash cartoon work. Today we’re talking about his work in music.
Without further introduction, make the jump to read part 2 of our interview with Stefan Horn.
Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea
The voice behind the classic intro to ‘The Number of The Beast’ passed away. He was 80.
Barry Clayton, whose voice we shall forever remember because we listen to real music, not that dumb hip-hop crap, was hired by Iron Maiden when the horror actor who was supposed to get the job asked for too much money.
You can read a bit more about him here. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with the words you already know from the song you have loved for years.
“Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who have understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six.“

Zakk Wylde blames BLS on Ozzy
When you’re responsible for awful things such as Black Label Society, no wonder you’re not gonna take any of the blame, and instead will just point the finger at the old mumbling guy who can’t defend himself.
Here’s what Zakk had to say in a recent interview about the band he named after a mediocre brand of whiskey:
“Without Ozzy, there’d be no Black Label. That’s just a fact. So the whole thing is, nothing was going on, and then Ozzy just got to the point where he was like, ‘Zakk, I gotta get another guitar player.’ I’m like, ‘Ozz, I don’t blame you.’ I’m like, I’m sitting around here, I don’t know whether we’re coming or going, or whether we’re gonna do this thing or not do this thing.“

Real mature, Zakk, let’s just blame it all on the guy with Parkinson’s disease. What is he gonna do? Shake about with anger?
Leaving all jokes aside, Zakk’s always been faithful to Ozzy and had only nice things to say about him. In a business where talking shit about other musicians is the ‘way to go,’ Zakk really is a breath of fresh air. And I actually love Black Label. The whiskey, not the band…
Matt Heafy is rich
And you thought Trivium weren’t making money, eh?
Frontman Matt Heafy just tweeted a photo of his royalty check right here. Dude gets paid quite a lot, huh?
“Dear state of the music industry, Thanks a heap for this massive royalty check.
Read tweet here.
It could be worse… No wait, it couldn’t. Damn…
