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.

Sully Erna isn't a Kid Rock but an American Idol fan

To get you started; Kid Rock isn’t an American Idol fan, Steven Tyler isn’t a Kid Rock fan and Godsmack’s Sully Erna isn’t a Kid Rock fan but an American Idol fan.

What is this, Battle of the has-beens? If it is, I don’t think Erna qualifies for it because to become a has-been you have to have had a career of some sort. Bummer.

Anyhow, in response to Kid Rock’s comments, Erna said the following;

“Kid Rock needs to shut up. That’s not true. This is gonna be great for TV, man. It’s supposedly the right thing to do to is to rag on a show like that ’cause it’s so popular, and everybody that has a problem most of the time, they have a problem with something that’s really popular — it’s the envy/jealousy thing; I don’t know what it is. I’m not saying that’s what it is with Kid Rock, because I get along with him fine. But I have to disagree. I think it’s brilliant that Steven Tyler is gonna be one of the judges; I think it’s gonna be so good.”

And when asked what he thought about Tyler’s decision to be part of American Idol, he said:

“I think it’s brilliant. Beyond good. I think he’s gonna be the male Paula Abdul, ’cause he’s a little bit dingy, you know what I mean?! He’s probably all pilled up, and he’s gonna be funny. I mean, he’s witty, he’s really witty.”

Most interesting story of 2010… not. I wonder what Kid Rock has to say about it. Really, I do… not.

Steven Tyler isn't a Kid Rock fan

A couple of days ago Kid Rock called Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler out for his decision to be part of American Idol. Now, at a press conference Tyler said the following, after being asked what he thought of Rock’s comments;

“He’s just jealous, he’s just jealous. And he’s working his new record, so God bless him.”

Video after the jump.

Interesting, eh? What’s more interesting to me is that Tyler, in the above picture, looks like the result of someone crossing an ape and a leather couch.

Perry loves Tyler

There has been quite the publicity stunt a lot of drama in the press about Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, their fights, the disbandment, the whole shebang. But now Joe Parry has grown up and recently told an interviewer that he wishes Steven the best of luck. Awww *cue ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ chorus*

“Steven wants to spend time in L.A. and do this,” Perry says of ‘Idol.’ “He’s always talked about doing stuff like that and I think he wants to try his hand at that. Let him go at it. That’s an interesting endeavor. I hope he’s really happy doing it.“

About time they grew up. But don’t be surprised if in the next interview the sparks fly again.

Kid Rock isn't an American Idol fan

Redneck rocker Kid Rock recently trashed Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler for his decision to be part of American Idol’s new season. Rock said the following in an interview with The Pulse of Radio:

“I think it’s the stupidest thing he’s ever done in his life. He’s a sacred American institution of rock ‘n’ roll, and he just threw it all out the window. Just stomped on it and set it on fire.”

Rock added, “I think whoever’s advising him, we should bring back the guillotine, or whatever they call that thing. And if it was himself, he needs some serious counseling. I love him to death, but I gotta speak the truth.”

I’d agree with him if I gave just the tiniest bit of a crap about American Idol, Steven Tyler, Aerosmith or Kid Rock himself but I just don’t.
