John Lennon: 31 years ago today

On this day 31 years ago, John Lennon was murdered outside of his apartment in New York.  He was shot in the back four times by a man named Mark David Chapman (oddly enough, he happened to get John Lennon‘s autograph earlier in the evening).  Mark David Chapman was sentenced 20 years to life and, to this day, still remains in prison

John Lennon is, without question, one of the biggest names is music history.  He wasn’t a metal musician but he and the rest of The Beatles influenced countless and countless of artists from many different musical genres.

He was a great songwriter that composed many classics over the years.  R.I.P.

Top 5: Machine Head albums

Today isn’t Friday, so it’s a good job this is just a top 5 and not a top 10, isn’t it? Oo-ooh-ooh, hoo yeah, yeah. It’s Thursday, Thursday. Gotta get down on Thursday. It’s top 5 time bitchez with some Machine fucking Head.

So why not top 10? Well besides the fact I’m incredibly lazy and only have a short amount of time I can masturbate in, Machine Head don’t even have 10 albums.

So without a further ado, I present to you the top 5 Machine Head albums. Make the machine fucking jump.

R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell

On this day, seven years ago, one of the greatest guitarists of our time was cruelly taken away from his fans, friends and family after a man whose name I shall not repeat chose to take away his life in a horrific murder that shocked the metal community.

May Dimebag Darrell rest in peace and may we all celebrate his life and music for years to come. Why not join me in listening to one of Pantera‘s greatest songs below and raising a glass to Mr Dimebag Darrell?

Getting into: Malevolent Creation – Day 2

Not much going on.

On the second day of trying to get into Malevolent Creation, I didn’t really get further into it. I actually didn’t listen to much music today, but those spots were saved for Cannibal Corpse and a bunch of piano covers on Youtube. However, I did listen to the yesterday mentioned ‘Slaughter Of Innocence.’ In fact, I’m listening to it again right now.

Today wasn’t positive to my mission, but the battle is not yet lost. I won’t judge too early. Sometimes you just need to be in the mood for Death Metal, and today is no such day for me. Actually I just wasn’t in the mood for much music period, not just Death Metal. These days don’t come often, but sometimes they just do.

Either way, I wouldn’t read too much into that. It doesn’t mean I’m not getting into Malevolent Creation, it just means I’m not getting into Malevolent Creation just yet.

To at least update something I talked about yesterday, the Xbox 360 update finally arrived and it’s… alright. Should be better once they include Youtube later this month.

LOLZ OFF TOPIC!!1!!11 MUSIC BLOG FAIL!

Fuck off.

Six Feet Under smashing face

Six Feet Under, with their new, fucking killer line-up, toured earlier this year. The first album with that line-up should be announced soon. Personally, I can’t fucking wait for new SFU.

Make the jump for a video of Six Feet Under performing the Cannibal Corpse classic ‘Hammer Smashed Face.’
