Who likes live videos?

Everyone should like live videos right? I know it’s bit like comparing porn to real sex, or watching sports to playing sports (actually that last analogy doesn’t work at all), but you can’t always make it to your favorite gigs or festivals, can you?

So luckily, fans of bands like Opeth, Mastodon, Kreator, Amorphis, and many more, can check their live performances at today’s Graspop Metal Meeting festival in Belgium today over at Skynet.be.

The schedule is as follows:

Amorphis 14:00 – 14:45
Kreator 14:50 – 15:40
Moonsorrow 15:45 – 16:30
Mastodon 16:35 – 17:35
Legion of the Damned 17:40 – 18:30
Avenged Sevenfold 18:35 – 19:35
Opeth 19:40 – 20:40
Rob Zombie 20:45 – 22:00
Cavalera Conspiracy 22:05 – 23:05

¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?

Rob Zombie‘s Muppet character bassist, Piggy D, is the victim of a victimless crime. His mask got stolen in Spain, hence the Spanish title. Ole.

Piggy, in true ‘rockstar’ fashion, got some very warm thoughts towards the thief:

“Dear prick who stole my skull mask from the stage in Spain, [I] hope [you] get the black plague, and all your teeth fall out of your head. GFYS.“

Read full article here.

Two things. One: Isn’t GFY enough? Yourself is a single word, why would he need the S? Two: If you do find the mask, make sure you contact him here.

Also, if you’re wondering what the title means, it’s “Where are the thieves?” or something. It’s the title of a Shakira album, not that I’d know anything about that. I swear to God I’m a metalhead. You don’t believe me? Fuck you, I don’t have anything to prove to you…

Metal Hammer’s Golden God results

The UK’s Metal Hammer hosted their very “special” awards ceremony, The Golden Gods, last night. We at Dose of Metal at times have considered hosting our own awards ceremony, but ultimately we’re just not self-indulgent or pretentious enough to attempt such a feat. Actually, it’s just we’re too lazy, poor and not big enough to pull it off. Instead though, we can just look at other award ceremonies, and criticize them, which is exactly what I’m going to be doing.

Winners include Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rob Zombie and many more. Find the complete results, plus my own little thoughts and criticism below.

* Best New Band – The Damned Things —- Meh, debut was catchy, but overall fairly mediocre.
* Metal As F*ck – Nergal (Behemoth) —- No argument here.
* Best Underground – Primordial —- Also no arguments here.
* Dimebag Darrell Shredder(s) – Gus G. (FIREWIND, OZZY OSBOURNE) —- Yeah, Gus is pretty awesome.
* Breakthrough Artist – Sabaton —- Who??
* Best UK Band – Iron Maiden —- Of course. Question though, do Iron Maiden win every year? 😛
* Best Live Band – Skindred —- Skindred? Fuck off.
* Inspiration Award – Twister Sister —- Twisted Sister? No thanks
* Best International Band – Avenged Sevenfold —- Fuck off.
* Best Album – “Absolute Dissent” by Killing Joke —- Haven’t heard it yet, so unsure on this one, but I bet there’s better.
* Event of the Year – “The Big 4” coming together for first time ever in the U.K. —- Yeah, as a UK citizen, this is awesome.
* Riff Lord(s) – Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein (DOWN) — Down are great, but there’s a lot of riff lords I guess.
* Spirit of Hammer – Diamond Head — Yeah, I guess I’m cool with this.
* Icons – Judas Priest —- Undeniably deserving of the title.
* Golden God – Rob Zombie —- Rob Zombie sucks.

Rob Zombie voodoo doll

Rob Zombie must know me all too well, because for just $30, I can finally get a Rob Zombie voodoo doll. So can you.

You know what I’m gonna do with mine? Stick a pin through its urethra and make it stop making bad movies. Hope you use yours wisely, too.

Hey girls, Piggy D. has something for you

Usually I’d insert a joke about something in his pants, but this time, it’s literally about his pants.

Rob Zombie bassist Matt Montgomery (a.k.a. Piggy D.) is selling his one-of-a-kind, hand-detailed pants worn on stage during the Ozzy Osbourne/Rob Zombie tour in 2007/2008 via eBay. The auction ends January 27. The base garment is a pair of black stretch jeans, in a women’s size 3. A very slim fit, but this is one of the few pieces of stage clothes left over that are still wearable. They were hand-sewn and studded by Piggy himself. This is an extremely rare piece that can be signed and personalized at the winner’s request.

So if you have a thing for a pair of jeans fit for women some guy used to sweat in for an hour and a half, go to eBay now, and make the jump to check them out:
