Ultimate Dio collection heading your way
It wasn’t that long ago that I reviewed The Collection by Dio, which I gave a brilliant 4 and a half skulls out of 5. Don’t ask me how you can get half a skull though, I’ve never seen anyone cut a skull in half before, but I somehow managed to do it for this review. One of the reasons I gave it half a skull shy of a full 5, however, was that I would have liked to have a full collection of all of Ronnie James Dio‘s music, and not just a collection limited to his solo material.
Lucky me then, and lucky you, because as Metal Hammer have reported, a double-disc compilation that spans the entire career of the late Ronnie James Dio has been announced for release in June. I’m literally jumping for joy, although that may also have something to do with the pube lice I’ve caught. Check out the awesome tracklisting after the jump.
Overrated? Hell no!
Ever get sick of that one friend who claims he’s the biggest fan of a band, yet his favorite song is the band’s biggest and most well known hit? That song is soooo overrated right? Actually no, it’s not in some cases. Today’s random rant from myself, is about three of the greatest songs of all time (in my opinion), that make all the clichéd lists and fans of the band’s sometimes look down upon. Look the songs are well renowned for a reason…

Friday Top 10: Best album covers
It’s Friday and therefore it’s time for another Top 10 list. We’ve done worst album covers in November and most brutal album covers last week, but somehow we’ve never done best album covers. So, I guess it’s about fucking time.
Before we dive right into it, I want to let you know that, despite labeling it one of my favorite album artworks, I won’t include Slayer’s ‘Christ Illusion’ for the simple reason that I want a fresh Top 10.
Feel free to make the jump now… or die trying!
Weak Recap: We’re amazing
This is our fifth Weak Recap, which means we ran out of writers to interview so I’m back interviewing Guido. God dammit. At least old man river up there approves.
In case you aren’t familiar with this recap thing, it’s a way for us to whore ourselves interview each other by recapping the week’s news. Pretty cool, right? Wrong… It’s lame and self-indulgent but hey, at least it’s original. Most other sites just do basic lists. Blah, we do shit properly, yo.
Make the jump and if you’re truly bored.
Stephen King hearts Metallica
Stephen King is a bit like Ozzy Osbourne. His 70s work is legendary but he’s done so much filler stuff since then, it’s hard to take him seriously nowadays. Which is probably why he doesn’t really like Ozzy or Black Sabbath. But instead loves Metallica.
“Metallica, Anthrax. I still listen to those guys … There’s a band called The Living Things that I like a lot. Very loud group. I never cared for Ozzy very much. [Black Sabbath] doesn’t really work for me. ‘I AM IRON MAN!’“
Read full interview here.
I don’t think anyone blames him for not being a huge Ozzy fan but making fun of Black Sabbath? Really? Ozzy should send an evil clown to haunt this guy…
When asked if he he’s honored by this statement, big horror fan Kirk Hammett had no comment. He just said ‘tee hee hee’ and wept.
