Tom Araya is careful

Slayer and Megadeth toured together quite a bit lately, and with all The Big Four rumors, they’re likely to keep doing it. So of course, the whole rivalry questions will never end. But to be fair to interviewers, it seems the old feuds still seem to be there, at least in the form of paranoia.

“He’s another human being who lives on this planet, and that’s about it. He comes across as a nice guy, but I keep my guard up around him. He’s courteous to me and my wife and my kids. So I’m courteous in return.“ said Tom about Dave Mustaine

Can’t we all just… Get along? All things have an end (except the sausage, the sausage has two ends, but I digress), so while I do applaud all four bands for putting their personal differences aside and being professional, I don’t think these types of statements help. Oh well, what do I know? Except, you know… Everything…

Dave Mustaine is sneaky

Dave Mustaine of Megadave is being subtle on Facebook.

“I just went through a couple weeks of hell arranging something special for you this summer. Stay tuned! Because we are going to be having some Big shows coming up.” paid Dave some kid to write on his official Facebook page.

Read it here.

People are, of course, speculating about a Big Four Tour in the U.S. Since the ‘big’ has a capital B in it, Dave might be hinting at that with subtlety. We wouldn’t be surprised considering how well the DVD sold. Oh btw, we’re also giving one away, motherfuckers, enter now before it’s too late.

Korn, Megadeth & Slayer comment on Grammy nominations

We reported yesterday that Korn, Megadeth and Slayer, among others, have been nominated for Best Metal Performance for this year’s Grammy awards.

Recently, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Shawn Drover of Megadeth and Tom Araya of Slayer, all have commented on their nominations.

Make the jump to read their comments and my comments about their comments.

Grammy nominees announced

Yesterday during the “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music Biggest Night” this year’s Grammy nominees were announced.

We all know that the Grammy’s are the be all, end all of all metal award shows, so you should definitely check out the nominees for Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance after the jump (or, if you’re smarter than I think you are, you can just read the huge list of tags beneath this post).

With past winners such as Korn, Deftones, Rage against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, you just got to admit that the Grammy’s won lots of credibility for their Best Metal Performance category. Yeah right, what a load of shit. Make the jump anyhow because this year at least 4 of the 5 nominees are in fact metal.
