Judas Priest have no plans for retirement

Judas Priest could settle down, get a nice little cottage in the English countryside, drink cups of tea and enjoy a nice little retirement (that’s probably what K.K. Downing is doing right now). But nope, that’s not in their plans, instead they’re going to stay fucking Metal apparently (not literally fucking metal, that would be painful of course, I just mean they’re staying as an active Metal band).

But we all already knew this right? I mean we’ve already covered the controversies of the band’s “Farewell Tour” in which the band aren’t actually saying farewell as such, they’re just fucking with semantics (again, not literally fucking. That would be impossible).

So yeah, I didn’t actually read the story, I just made this post purely from seeing the headline over at Blabbermouth. I’m not even joking. If you care though, why not head over there and read the story yourself? It might contain something interesting I missed because I’m a lazy bastard.

Friday Top 10: Most Influential Metal Bands

Remember when I posted my wacky comments on Kerrang! magazine’s Top 10 of the most influential rock bands of the last 30 years? Well, it’s time to post the metal equivalent of that Top 10, only we’re not limiting ourselves to time, so it’s the most influential bands of metal history.

Also, only metal bands can make the list. Not bands that aren’t metal themselves but influenced a wide array of metal bands, so exclude AC/DC, Deep Purple etc.

Now, make the jump to see if my list is better than Kerrang’s list.

It is.

Judas Priest are rehearsing

Judas Priest (sans K.K.) will embark on a farewell tour this summer so they need to practice, practice, practice. Cause practice makes perfect and they’re a perfect band. Well, would be if K.K. was still in, but that’s just me being an asshole nitpicking.

I have no ending for this post so I’ll just paste some random text from CNN.com:

President Barack Obama renewed his push for comprehensive immigration reform Tuesday, citing America’s legacy as a nation of immigrants and saying that finding a solution for millions of undocumented workers is critical to the country’s common future.

“It doesn’t matter where you come from. What matters is that you believe in the ideals on which we were founded, that you believe all of us are equal,” he said. “In embracing America, you can become American. That is what makes this country great.

Well said, sir.

Weak Recap: We’re bringing sexy back

Another week behind us, another week of total metal kickassery. “But hey Simo, this week hasn’t been that special really…” – I hear some of you saying, and to clarify, when I say kickassery, I mean the way we’ve covered everything. Hell, we could comment on funerals or people sleeping and make it sound interesting as hell.

Kids, prepare your tissues and toilet paper, Mark and I are taking a trip down the memory lane, and it’s going to be sexy.

Judas Priest reveal the new lineup

Want to know what the new lineup of Judas Priest will look like? Well use your imagination: It’ll look like the old lineup, only instead of K.K. Downing, you’ll have some young buck you’ve never heard of in his place. Luckily for all you kids that have lost the use of your imagination (and you have porn to thank for that)  though, the band have released their first promo photo of the new line-up, and you can check it out after the jump. Or alternatively, just check out my far superior photo above, thanks to my amazing Photoshop skillz.
