17 years ago seems so far away
17 years ago, Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 charts. Currently on #1 on said charts is Adele and I have absolutely no idea who that is but I think it’s safe to say, they (or she?) aren’t metal (it’s worth noticing that the Foo Fighters are on #2 and I absolutely view that as a great thing).
17 years ago, even Kurt Cobain was blown away by the sheer amount of quality metal albums that were released that year. In the year of 1994, many great (and now legendary) albums were released. Make the jump to see the highlights of 1994.
Friday Top 10: Heavy metal soap operas, part 2
What, you thought last Friday’s Top 10 was the only one? Ha, you wish! Just like a proper soap, we’re popping out endless sequels. Well, maybe not endless, because I plan to wrap it up with this one, but who knows when this topic will come back from the dead.
Make the jump and read ten more never-ending and/or soapy and/or embarrassing stories from the world of metal.
Yesterday’s headlines
I’ve been a bit absent from this site for the last couple of weeks because I’m a winner, and I’m #winning, and my goddesses kept me busy. But now I’m back, and because there’s no news for today, I’ll turn back the hands of time (#winning) and give you Monday’s headlines a day too late.
Queens Of The Stone Age (pictured above) are performing on Conan next month. This would be interesting news if the year was 1999.
Texas is a great state. They gave us Pantera. But then they also gave us Hellyeah. Anyway, the city of Austin decided that “Motörhead Day” will be celebrated on March 8th. Let’s be honest, Lemmy does look like he belongs in Texas, so it’s a good match.
In Flames have a new guitarist. I didn’t even know they lost their previous guitarist. Wait, who are In Flames again?
Marilyn Manson walked on a runway at a fashion show, because when you say “Marilyn Manson” you immediately think “model, fashion, runway, hot.” How could this happen? Well, it was in Japan, so go figure.
Ginger and Manson break up
Ginger Fish leaves Marilyn Manson, therefore completing the picture above with ex-band members only. Good for me and my obsessive-compulsive disorder, bad for the fans. No, but really, if there’s one person to be unhappy about this, it’s Manson himself. Not that Ginger Fish (I won’t even bother with the name) is a great drummer, it’s that Manson tends to pull of a Trent Reznor and act like he’s a one man band way too often, without realizing he really needs those other band members (and, as a side effect, he makes listenable music).
So, the latest member to go is Ginger. Make the jump to read his official announcement and my unofficial speculation.
Want to hear Christina Aguilera rape Marilyn Manson?
I know the picture suggests otherwise but I’m actually not talking about a sexual act. Even though, just imagine that. Bah.
Christina Aguilera recently decided to take Marilyn Manson’s ‘Beautiful People’ and turn it into a bubblegum pop song for her upcoming film ‘Burlesque’. It’s not a cover per se, but it just takes its name, drums and guitar riff and turns it into a completely new crapfest. Check it out after the jump.
