Some facts for Sunday

Sit down, it’s time for Sunday school. I know what you’re thinking, you’re tired, hungover, dreading the thought of work tomorrow, and what you really want, is to be bombarded with bullshit facts from your favorite Metal site. Well consider it your lucky day then.

Fact #1 – 666 isn’t the number of the beast, 616 is. Wikipedia doesn’t lie kids. So next time you’re singing along to The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, make sure you alter the lyrics accordingly. Same applies to Slipknot‘s Heretic Anthem.

Fact #2 – Korn can change their sound as much as they like, they’re still going to suck.

Fact #3 –Duff Mckagan isn’t rolling in cash.

Fact #4 – I’m awesome.

Fact #5 – Dose of Metal is perhaps the greatest independent Metal site on the whole of the internet. *

That’s it for today, stay tuned to Dose of Metal for more amazing posts like this, and much more.

* N.B. Some of these facts may not be facts in the conventional sense, they are more like lies. Factual lies.

Hanson like Slipknot

Hanson, the most hated band in 1997, released a video of themselves having some fun, jamming to ‘Wait and Bleed‘ from Slipknot.

Not really sure why I’m posting this.  I mean, clearly neither band are metal.  Both make poppy music.  Both have fruity lead singers.  And most importantly, both suck.  So, why am I posting this?  Your guess is good as mine.

Video after the jump…

Trapped under mosh

The band I’ll be talking about in this post is called Trapped Under Ice, hence the witty title. I think I’m a good candidate for the next metal’s biggest joke awards. The bad thing, I just heard Corey Taylor is most likely going to win that one.

Awful puns aside, what is going on in the clip above? I honestly had no idea when I watched it, but I read the text which explains it. The only reason I’m posting this is because I found the singer’s mid air girl power kick at the beginning of the video funny.

And speaking of Corey Taylor, make the jump to see an exclusive preview of his next project.

All aboard the Corey train

What did I tell you? Well, I told you a lot of things, but what did I tell you about Corey Taylor? Okay, a lot of bad things. Hint hint, read my last Top 10.

Anywho, Corey Taylor is starting his routine, pumping up the upcoming summer Slipknot shows. In a recent interview with somebody, he said he is “scared to death.” Of what exactly? Did he officially lose his balls and can’t sing Slipknot songs anymore? Is he scared he’s alienating his teeny pop audience by wearing a mask and hiding his pretty face? Nope. He’s scared to play with them because of the “emotion.”

“I’m scared to death. I’m nowhere near prepared for the emotion that’s going to happen. That first show is really going to be the test. That tour for the most part is going to be a test. It’s very hard, man… It’s still reverberating through my life… We’re coming up to the year anniversary of his death, and I still can’t [expletive] handle it.”

Oh [expletive] [expletive] Corey [expletive] [expletive] rubbing [expletive] monkey balls [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] in his face. We all know the emotion is going to be “Holy shit look at this money” and the test is going to be “Can I stand these guys enough to make another album with them?” and the answer will be “Yes.” You decide if it’s a good thing or not.

Friday Top 10: Heavy metal soap operas, part 2

What, you thought last Friday’s Top 10 was the only one? Ha, you wish! Just like a proper soap, we’re popping out endless sequels. Well, maybe not endless, because I plan to wrap it up with this one, but who knows when this topic will come back from the dead.

Make the jump and read ten more never-ending and/or soapy and/or embarrassing stories from the world of metal.
