And now time for some metal
I’m sick of posting about fucking shitty ass, alleged, so-called “metal”. How about I actually post some real metal? Good idea, right?
Listen to Evile‘s ‘Cult’ above and enjoy.
Korn guitarist found new album challenging
Munky of Korn fame recently spoke to Peter Hodgson of IHeartGuitarBlog.com about the recording of the new album, The Path of Totality.
The Korn guitarist has described the making of the album as ‘challenging’ (I know what you mean Munky, I found it challenging to listen to) and discussed some other stuff I was way too lazy to read. Honestly, reading that drivel was more depressing than the time I got hit by a car.
You can read it all over at Blabbermouth.
This has got to be a joke…
Ever heard of Asking Alexandria? No, me neither, because like you, I listen to real metal — not whiny, generic ‘girly’ “metal” (metal put in quotation marks, because well, it’s not really metal is it?).
That said, forget Eddie Van Halen, forget Brian May, don’t even think about Dimebag Darrell, and make no mention of Tony Iommi. Why, I hear you ask? Because Alternative Press and their readers have decided instead that Asking Alexandria‘s guitarist, Ben Bruce, is the top guitarist of 2011.
Who needs shredding, creativity and alternating finger tapping, when you can just play open chords, power chords and the odd not-completely-predictable-at-all breakdown, right? If they say he’s the best guitarist, it must be true. Why would they lie?
You can listen to some shitty song by this shitty band above. I mean, only if you really want to.
Kerry King has doubts about future Big Four shows
If you haven’t seen The Big Four live, then maybe you shouldn’t get your hopes up about future shows… At least according to Kerry King…
“If you look at how much work went into making it all happen in the first place, then I really doubt we can do the same thing again. […] I know there are some parts where they’re angry not to have gotten the chance to see it. […] But I honestly doubt we can get our schedules to coincide like that again.“

Whilst I do agree that four active bands syncing their touring schedule is not the easiest thing in the world, but when money is involved, they’ll find a way. Let’s not forget the other three bands were enjoying the large crowds brought by Metallica. The DVD sold pretty well, too. They keep saying they get along. There’s nothing stopping them from doing them again.
I pretty much doubt a scheduling snafu will kill this major cash cow.
Thursday’s full dose of metal
We’ve always posted live clips on this site, but we’ve never posted a FULL concert. I guess it’s time.
Iron Maiden live @ Donnngton 2007.
One hour. Forty minutes. Seventeen seconds. All of pure raw metal awesomeness.
