Metallica could hit this

That tight little package above is named Paula Fernandes, and she covered Metallica‘s ‘Nothing Else Matters.’ Needless to say, she’s a big Metallica fan, and she’s really looking forward to their gig in Rio. You know what that means, right?

“I am a big fan,” she said. “I hope to enjoy the show here in Brazil. It would be magic!”

Read full article here.

Magic, eh? I know a couple of magic wand innuendos that will blow your mind, baby. Except Kirk, everyone else in the band should consider this.

Paula, if you’re reading this… I’ve written everything in Metallica, including NEM. I am their ghost writer and I am awesome. Skype me!

My money is on Rob, by the way. Check out her cover of ‘Tallica‘s classic song below:

Like a rolling stone…

Lars Ulrich, the guy who starred in the comedy “Dude, why are we crying and talking to a faux-shrink? We’re fucking rich and famous and should be real men in our mid-40s!!!” (alternative title: Some Kind of Monster), talked to Rolling Stone magazine about the recent Big Four gig at the Yankee Stadium in New York.

The interview is above, and you guessed it: Lars talks about the ‘good vibe,’ nostalgia, and blah blah blah. At no point have I heard any mentions of ‘buttloads of cash,’ ‘new Mercedes lease,’ or ‘brand new painting’ — which to me, sound like the real reasons they’d pretend to get along with the other bands.

But hey, judging from some of the footage and photos I’ve seen, it looked like an awesome show. I would have loved to be there, but I’m not rich, so I can’t even afford a hotdog at the Yankee Stadium, let alone a ticket.

With two Big Four shows under my belt, I can honestly say, in spite of my being skeptical of this new-found friendship they keep talking about, being at a Big Four show is pretty awesome. Even if you think the bands suck now, they’re still pretty good live. Well, some of them are.

So next time they’ll play together, and believe me — $$ there will be a next time $$ — try to make it. It’s really better than sitting at home and streaming porn.

Actually, it’s kind of the same thing. What does jerking off have in common with going to a Big Four show? You feel fucked at the end, but you’re pretty sure it wasn’t by a girl. ZING!!!

I keed, I keed, it’s a pretty good show.

Big 1 + 3 played New York

Last night marked The Big 4 playing the East Coast for the first time, which means I now have to cover it. MetalSucks and Metal Injection did the unthinkable and actually live-blogged a live show, which is kinda lame if you ask me, but then again, I get a free article out of this, so it’s a win for me.

To sum it up: same old same old, Gary Holt instead of Jeff Hanneman, Motorhead‘s Overkill instead of Am I Evil and members of Exodus joining the stage for that performance as well? (and you can see the clip of that above). That is all. We are now anxiously awaiting for The Big Four to announce the first show on the Moon, while this wave is still fresh for riding… Kidding aside, I actually enjoyed the mashup performance a lot, even with 30 people on stage.

Dose of Metallica: One man band

You know I usually make fun of so-called ‘YouTube musicians,’ but I’ve stumbled upon this clip today, and it’s actually pretty cool.

Not that I think this guy is a virtuoso on any of the instruments or anything, but it’s simply better than your average cover, and I really like the way he mashed the songs together in that medley, it really works.

If you like Metallica, or at least, like Metallica‘s 80s songs, you will probably enjoy this vid.

P.S. = Ride The Lightning sounds kinda off, though. There, a bit of meanness injected into this post.

Fanboy out.

Name-dropping Metallica makes headlines. Case in point

Jeff Waters of Annihilator decided to shed some light on a rumor no one even heard of. What rumor, you ask? About Metallica changing the name of their song to “Enter Sandman” after “Never, Neverland” was already taken by them.

I use the term ‘shed a light’ loosely, because he has no idea if the rumor is true or not. So all he does is tell the rumor one more time. Great, that will help. On with more interesting stories, Mr. Waters.

Rumor has it that I have an abnormally big schlong. Wonder why that rumor never makes it in the media. Maybe I also need to name-drop a few big bands, just to get the e-press going.

I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke. I will not write an ‘off to never, neverland’ joke.
