Jeff Hanneman bit by ill spider; Did not become Spider-man
I thought the best thing about being bitten by a spider is the possibility of gaining superpowers. My bad, I guess you can also get really ill.
In a recent interview, Jeff talked about the bite:
“‘Didn’t even feel it, but an hour later, I knew that I was ill.’ On his way to the hospital, ‘I could see the flesh corrupting,’ he recalls. ‘The arm was real hot. I got to the emergency room, and thank god the nurse knew straight away what it was. By chance, although it’s pretty rare, she had seen a case a little while before. At that point, I was an hour away from death.’“

No word as to what building Jeff tried to climb before actually going to the hospital.
Anyway, it sucks to hear it was that bad, and I wish Jeff a spidey speedy recovery. Sorry about all the Spider-man jokes, but this is the world wide web after all… Get it? Web? Like a spider? Hahaha I rule!!!11
Moar unreleased Metallica
Yup, another unreleased Metallica song hit the net. Probably the last, since the anniversary shows are over.
If they have so much unreleased stuff, why not pull a ReLoad and release a second album? Call it ‘ReMagnetize’ or something and make a few extra bucks.
Anyway, the song is called ‘Rebel of Babylon’ and you can listen to it right here:
Metallica, Mustaine, Ozzy and Geezer sitting in a tree…
So the last Fillmore anniversary show had quite a lot of guests. Like we told you before, Dave was there, and apparently Geezer and Ozzy joined them on stage, also.
Aside from them, former Metallica bassists Newsted and McGovney were present, as was Bob Rock.
Dave played five songs with them: Hit The Lights, Metal Militia, Phantom Lord, Jump in the Fire and Seek and Destroy.
You can find some photos and the setlist on Blabbermouth. No point in wasting time putting those photos here since you can just do one click and BOOM: everything is there.
Dave and Metallica sitting in a tree…
Dave Mustaine will attend Metallica‘s final San Francisco show celebrating their 30th birthday, and I have to say, that’s awesome. I’ve made so many Dave/Metallica jokes here, it’s only fair I should give credit where credit is due — The feud seems to finally be over, and that’s pretty awesome.
Well, it’s over until Dave feels the need to name drop Metallica again to promote his new album, then it may get revived. But for now… Weeee.
Here is Dave’s official tweet:
“I am up in SF for Metallica’s 30 anniversary. I look forward to celebrating with them.“

Rumor has it that the shows have been taped by HD cameras, so maybe a Blu-Ray of these concerts will hit The Pirate Bay be up for sale someday.
By the way, here’s a drinking game for you. Read this Dave interview and drink each time Dave says ‘to a degree.’
