Frank Sinatra is metal
When you’re listening to Frank Sinatra, have you ever wondered what his songs would sound like if they were metalized? And I’m not talking about the Death Metal parody Ten Masked Men did a few years ago, I’m talking about serious Heavy fucking Metal. Well, fear not! Because there’s a tribute album in the works.
Devin Townsend, Joey Belladonna, Tim “Ripper” Owens and Dee Snider, among others, each recorded a Frank Sinatra song to make it metal and all of this will be released as an album on March 29, called ‘SIN-atra’. Check out the tracklist after the jump.
Dee Snider says Broadway is challenging
In fact, he says that his recent gig on Broadway (which we’ve previously covered) is the most challenging thing he’s ever done. We find that hard to believe, because his other gig (in Twisted Sister) looks like it takes a few hours of preparation and ten pounds of make up. Check out the interview after the jump.
P.S. I wonder if Dee‘s Halloween costume was his “no make-up” persona. And I wonder which one scared people more…
Dee Snider has made it
Guess what? Dee Snider’s biggest prayer, ever since he first stole and tried his sister’s make up and prom dress, has finally been answered: he’s doing a show on Broadway! Even though Twisted Sister can already be classified as a drag act so we don’t see what the big deal is, everyone here at Dose of Metal is still happy for the guy, because a 35 year audition is hard work.
The deal has been confirmed, and he’ll be joining the Rock of Ages cast for a 10-week run. You can see a medley performance of it from this summer’s America’s Got Talent show if you continue reading (don’t worry, it features Dee in his male persona, so it’s safe to watch even if there are children or people with heart condition in the room with you).
