Daily Dose Of Metal: Annihilator

I kinda jokes about Jeff Waters below, so it’s only fair that I should treat you all to ‘King Of The Hill.’

I hope I am forgiven, metal sons.

Name-dropping Metallica makes headlines. Case in point

Jeff Waters of Annihilator decided to shed some light on a rumor no one even heard of. What rumor, you ask? About Metallica changing the name of their song to “Enter Sandman” after “Never, Neverland” was already taken by them.

I use the term ‘shed a light’ loosely, because he has no idea if the rumor is true or not. So all he does is tell the rumor one more time. Great, that will help. On with more interesting stories, Mr. Waters.

Rumor has it that I have an abnormally big schlong. Wonder why that rumor never makes it in the media. Maybe I also need to name-drop a few big bands, just to get the e-press going.

I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke.

Annihilator almost got annihilated

Annihilator may have a tough name, but apparently they can’t “fight fire with fire” like Metallica because when a fire broke out next door, they ran like crazy.

Fortunately the only thing that got hurt was their ego, as being named ‘Annihilator‘ and running for your life screaming for mommy isn’t exactly ‘good PR,’ but luckily nobody was injured and they could even retrieve their instruments.

More info and some photos of the fire here, because that’s a proper informational site, this is just a few kids with too much time on their hands and way too much access to amateur (German Scheisse) porn.

Headlines

Alice in Chains were interviewed (videos after the jump). Unfortunately, nobody asked them why their new video looks like an amateur version of Fantastic Voyage.

Slash, Jerry Cantrell and John 5 will all appear in “Turn it Up!“ — a movie about the electric guitar, obviously showcasing how you can get famous even if you’re mediocre at it.

Annihilator release free album. ‘If you can’t fight them, join them’ said their lead singer, referring to their fans who refuse to waste money on their stuff. Get it here.

Lordi (pictured above), the band who looks like Slipknot after an acid bath, won the ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ by hacking their website a few years ago. It paid off, as now they sold a whooping 1,000 copies in the United States, and those are just from dumb Lord of The Rings fans who thought it was a spin-off CD. These contests work, folks.
