Metallideth Charity

Half of The Big Four are doing some charity work. Not together, but at the same time, which is quite a coincidence.

Metallica are auctioning a one hour drum lessons and dinner with none other than Lars Ulrich. This will mean flying to their headquarters, getting a tour of the Metallica HQ,  etc… All proceeds go to the “Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, a not-for-profit public charity dedicated to transforming education to create opportunities for children.“ — More info here.

Megadeth are auctioning a Hartke bass amp, signed by the whole band, directly via eBay. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.— More info after the jump.

Now, we usually crack a joke or two about each news item we post. I could say that that taking drum lessons from Lars is like taking driving lessons from Stevie Wonder. Or ask if Megadeth is auctioning off a bass amp cause you can barely hear it anyway in most of their songs. But I’m not gonna do that.

Seriously though, charity is always a worthy cause so make sure you start bidding.

Dave Mustaine thinks he's black

Dave Mustaine, singer, guitarist and dictator of Megadeth, just made a video advertising his upcoming “Big Four minus the Big One” tour, also known as “Jägermeister Music Tour” with Slayer and Anthrax.

Please notice how street he is in the video, yo. Homeboy all about the beats an’ shit, know wha’ am saying yo? Vid after the jump brutha, break yo’self!!

Why Dave??? Why????

Baptized In Blood are from London, Ontario,  the city where I was born in.  I’ve seen them live quite a few times.  They suck.  Just a lame “metalcore” band that sounds like a really mediocre version of unreleased Killswitch Engage songs.  I’ve obviously heard worse, but I never understood the hype with this band.  They were signed to Roadrunner last year sometime and are releasing their debut next month.

What’s shocking is Dave Mustaine of Megadeth wants to be the co-manager of this band.  The man released many classics over the years, so I’m just surprised he would want to work with a band that lacks creativity and probably won’t release more than 3 albums.

Blabbermouth has more information, so clicky!

Play guitar like Mustaine

If you ever wanted to be like Dave Mustaine, you’re in luck. A guitar tab book transcribing Megadave‘s “Endgame” album is out and you can buy it here.

Of course, learning to play guitar like Dave is not enough, so the book “How to be jealous of Metallica and use their name to promote your own releases” will be out soon, too.
