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.
More info here. Poster after the jump.
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.
Lars Ulrich is responsible for half of Apple's sales
Lars Ulrich is a lot of things. Drummer. Art lover. Well okay, that’s all I can think of for now. Still, apparently he’s also a businessman. He’s helped sell half of Apple‘s products. You know that little indie firm, Apple, right? It was unknown until Lars came in and helped it get off its feet.
“I’m the computer whore. Seriously. I am the reason Steve Jobs has sold half the devices that he has. Trust me.“ said Lars while polishing a statue of himself.
Watch interview after the jump.
Oh, don’t worry Lars, trust you we do. I’ve never even heard of Apple or this Stevie Jobe guy or whatever, so I do believe you. Don’t be modest now, we’re sure you’ve helped sell ALL the products, not just half.
James says Metallica shows are family-friendly now
James Hetfield has recently spoken on downplaying cuss words like cock, shit, fuck, asshole, Dave Mustaine and others during Metallica‘s live shows, and making them a Disney-like experience for the entire family. Why? Because now his kids follow him on tour. Hmm, that’s great James and all, but what about all the other kids (you know, the ones in the crowd) that have been listening to you saying that all this time? I suspect your answer would be “So what?,” but you can’t really say that anymore now, can you?
When asked what he thinks about children’s safety at Metallica concerts, Kirk Hammett just kicked a ball.
