Metallica almost sold out

While most bands are forced to cancel their tours because of poor ticket sales, Metallica‘s Halifax gig almost sold all of the 30.000 tickets available.

At this point you’re probably wondering what the hell this ‘halifax’ thing is. Good question, apparently it’s a real city in Canada, according to Wikipedia. But then I went there and they don’t even know if it’s a municipality or a landform. Wut??? They’re throwing words I’ve never heard of at me. Is this even a real place?

Anyway, good to hear the guys still make a lot of money. Their live show does kick ass, so if you’ve ever heard of that place and if you think ‘about’ rhymes with ‘boot,’ you should go.

Speaking of money and Metallica though, their Monopoly game is out, so make sure you take a look and laugh at all of our puns.

Weak Recap: Mark your territory

Last week’s been all about Mark. He’s posted the most posts (read: all of them) because everyone else was busy. He’s taken one for the team and spent less time watching porn and more time writing for the site.

So it seems fitting that this weekend I get to interview him and ask him what he thinks on (mostly) his posts from this week.

Actually, we just have an order of interviewing each other for this self-indulgent and shitty awesome Weak Recap thing, and it just so happens that it’s Mark’s turn to be interviewed. Last week he interviewed me.

Make the jump and read the interview with the most amazing DoM writer (after myself and the other guys).

P.S. = That’s not Mark and his girlfriend above. Mark’s girlfriend is much fatter.

The Velvet Metallica

Metallica have revealed a very special, secret, new album has been in the works, which guitarist Kirk Hammett allegedly hinted at a month or two back. If I still followed the band like a teenager follows a pair of breasts, then I may have known that.

So what’s the secret album? A collaboration with Dave Mustaine? A Big Four all stars album? A return to actually releasing decent Metal?

Nope, none of those things. It’s a collaboration album with Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed. Wow, sounds exciting…

The album as of yet does not have a release date. In addition, the majority of the music is apparently sung and written by Lou Reed, so please excuse me whilst I don’t give a rat’s ass. If you’re interested, more information can be found at Blabbermouth and Rolling Stones.

You can watch a video of Metallica performing with Lou Reed above. If it’s an indication of what the album will sound like, I won’t be checking it out.

Metallicanopoly available tomorrow

Personally, I preferred Alex’s title of MonopollicA, but I figured I’d go a different route. Metallica‘s special version of Monopoly will apparently be available to buy from tomorrow.

Will you sue Napster, and make millions (who cares if you lose a few fans along the way right?)? Or will you use the ‘Kill ‘Em All’ hammer and destroy your opponents? Or maybe you’ll pick up first prize in a beauty concert and pick up $100. The possibilities are endless!

Blabbermouth have more news and pictures. I’m just too busy laughing at how ironic this is.

You need more Sabbra Cadabra in your life…

I love this cover, it’s probably my favorite Garage, Inc. song next to Whiskey In The Jar. There’s something about Metallica’s guitar tone playing Sabbath riffs that just does it for me. It’s like Megan Fox licking sour cream off a 20 year old Pamela Anderson. Just a match made in heaven.

Many people might disapprove of the ‘interlude’ of ‘A National Acrobat’ in the mix but I honestly like it, especially as that interlude ends and the main Sabbra riffs kicks in.

This is a great track so it’s exactly what you need this Sunday. Bitches.
