Friday Top 10: The year 2010 in metal
2010. Not as good as 2001, but still okay. Can you believe the year is coming to and end? I barely can. And then I got the job to compile a list of the most important things that happened this year. When I say the most important, I mean the most important in metal. No matter what your mom tells you, nothing is more important than metal.
Make the jump to see what made the list, and bitch about the things that haven’t.
Second Big Four gig confirmed
The Big Four, also known as ‘The Big One and another three bands,’ confirmed another date for next year. This time it’s the French Sonisphere. Me oui, je suis tres content.
This is happening on the 9th of July, and Slipknot seems to be playing on the 8th. I get it, bad metal the first day. Good metal the second day to make you appreciate the improvement. Good idea.

Mustaine knows kung fu
Don’t mess with Dave Mustaine. Not only will he roundhouse kick you into oblivion, but he will also explain to you exactly what technique he used while you’re at the hospital.
“I have a first degree in Ukidokan karate. My sensei has the style of karate, kung-fu, aikido, judo, ju-jitsu, taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling, Muay Thai boxing and American boxing. So it’s all those things rolled into one. It’s a nine-style discipline. My second black belt is in Songham taekwondo and I was an assistant instructor in that style, and then I taught it privately for a while“ said Dave while watching Karate Kid 2.

Watch out Kirk! I don’t think your beach balls stand a chance against this guy.
Big Four gig announced
It’s on. The rumors came true, and they start in little ol’ England.
“The Sonisphere Festival rumors have been in high gear and you know how we love our European summer vacations, so we’re here to confirm that we will indeed be at Knebworth House to kick off the weekend on Friday, July 8, 2011!! Hanging with Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer last summer was just too much fun, so here we are doing the Big 4 shenanigans again and this will be the first time that we will all be on the same stage in the U.K.” said a statement on Metallica.com

It’s safe to assume more dates will be announced. It’s also safe to assume that I have a boner. Oh, haha, not from this news… I have two monitors and I’m watching mature porn on the second one.
Oh yeah, tickets will be available here. Need I remind you that we’re giving away two Big Four DVDs in our giveaway? You still have time to enter, fool.
Mustaine would rather retire than…
It’s that time of the month again, Dave Mustaine has something to say and you just know it’s not going to be something positive. Who did he bitch about this time? Metallica? A fellow Megadeth member? Roadrunner Records? Exactly! Roadrunner.
“We’re getting ready to start the next Megadeth record in January and the funny thing is my manager is telling me now how Roadrunner [which released 2007’s ‘United Abominations’ and 2009’s ‘Endgame’] is going out of their way now to try and give me this new huge deal, and I just don’t want it. I don’t want it. The treatment’s been terrible over the years, and I just don’t want it. I would rather retire than continue to play like that. Either we’re gonna release [future recordings] digitally [on our own] or [see] what happens next. We’ve got this last record [that we owe to] Roadrunner [as part of our current contract]; it’s gonna be a great record ’cause the songs are really, really good. ‘Cause I don’t want my side of the bargain to be tainted — I wanna be a gentleman and be respectful and deliver my side of the deal, whether or not the other party has or not.”
More here.
As you might remember, a while after ‘Endgame’ was released, Mustaine already bitched about Roadrunner not properly promoting the album.
Who’s going to get hit by the Mustaine fist of bitch next?
