Lady Gaga to replace Freddie Mercury?
According to Blabbermouth, pop sensation Lady Gaga may be Queen’s new frontman. Yes, she has a penis.
“Brian May is open to having Lady Gaga front the band. May revealed to London’s Daily Express, ‘We talk about going out on the road all the time but there’s a bit of a singer problem to put it mildly. We get a lot of offers to work with other people. I worked with Lady Gaga and she’s very creative and is someone we’ve talked about singing, fronting the band with. She’s not just a singer, she writes her own material.'”

Lemme guess, she’ll sit behind the piano with a dress made out of Cheetos or something, and she’ll sing “Is this the real life, is is is this the the the real real real real real life?”, and everyone will go “wow, what a genius!”, and I will die a little inside.
Fuck this.
Might as well get Lil’ Wayne if you want an auto-tuned hack to take a dump on Mercury’s legacy.
Radio, what’s new? Happy birthday Freddie Mercury!
As part of a very exclusive deal Dose of Metal is having with Google Inc. we will occasionally feature Google Doodles when they’re rock related, just to bring them more hits, and in return Google’s CEO cleans our shoes. If you haven’t seen it already, head over to google.whatever see it above, it’s pretty cool.
On a serious note, let’s get to the real point of this article — today would be late Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday, so speaking in the name of the whole Dose of Metal crew, we wish he was still around so we could make fun of him congratulate him.
In case you think Queen shouldn’t be mentioned on a metal site, well… you shouldn’t be listening to anything with guitars in it. In the end, make the jump to see the legendary Live Aid performance of their hit Radio Ga Ga, and get reminded of how rock and roll lost 50% of its charisma with Freddie’s passing alone.
Weak Recap: Hello, we’re metal!
We’re one of the last of a dying breed. We’re the Albert Einstein of brutality, the William Shakespear of violence, the Arnold Schwarzenegger of funny, the Michael Jackson of metal. All these comparisons are way off though… because we’re better than those guys and we’re certainly better than anyone else out there, including you!
We’re so good, we’re interviewing each other. Who needs interviews with musicians, who have been interviewed already thousands of times? No one!
So, you want to know what happened this past week in metal? Make the jump, we’ll teach you a lesson.
Tuesday Trivia: What’s in a name
Some people say names aren’t really important – well, they probably don’t share a name with a future Sony gadget (like me) and have normal names. But what if you’re in a metal nu metal rock euro dance band and you’re called Chester Bennington. It doesn’t sound tough now, does it?
Make the jump to read a few stories regarding the issue of having a name (not) fitting to the genre you’ve found yourself in.
Bang your head, Scotty
William Shatner is not only known for his role of Captain Kirk’s mask in the Halloween movie franchise. He’s pretty much not known at all, because Star Trek got a reboot and our target audience grew up listening to Linkin Park and watching Friends, the greatest sci-fi TV show of all times. Seriously, a guy like Ross would never bang Rachel in real life.
I kid (about William Shatner). He’s a cool dude, and he just got cooler in our little black book. Why? Well, he’s making a new album (and yes, he makes albums), one themed around heavy metal and space (just like Fear Factory, they make heavy metal and take a lot of space), and it’s announced members of Black Label Society, Queen and Deep Purple are involved. He will also receive an Honorary Headbanger award at the Revolver Golden Gods award. What a guy.
