Damned cables

It’s Christmas Eve, why are you reading this and not out getting drunk instead? Then again, a better question might be why am I writing this when I could be out getting drunk? What can I say, I’m dedicated to my work (*cough* I have no friends).

So on to the news. Joe Trohman of The Damned Things recently talked to DiMarzio, Inc. — the company that manufactures magnetic pickups for electric guitars — about the making of the debut The Damned Things album, Ironiclast, and his DiMarzio pickups and cables. Watch the video after the jump.

Exciting stuff? Nah not really. On second thoughts you would be better off just getting drunk instead.

Some headlines, yo

Whitesnake (pictured above) have a new album in the works. It’s called “Forevermore” and David Coverdale had this to say about the title: “Don’t forget, ’tis ONE word.” It’s pretty hard not to forget that, David, as I don’t really care and neither does most of the world.

Joey Jordison is on the cover of Rhythm Magazine and you can get it here.  I know what you’re asking yourself: Should I get it? Well, aside from an in-depth look at his gear, Joey also talks about his many projects. In other words, no, no you shouldn’t.

The Damned Things‘ debut album sold 6,200 copies in the United States in the first week of release. It’s apparently #1 on the Top New Artist Albums chart which means out of all of the noobs, they’re the best selling. Not bad for a band with members of Fall Out Boy in it.

Pantera and Damageplan roadie John Graham tells his story working with Dime in both of his bands, as well as being a roommate with Vinnie and other stuff. Read interview here.

The Damned Streams

The Damned Things is an interesting band. It has members of Anthrax and Fall Out Boy in it. Listening to one of those bands will make you cool. Listening to the other one will get you beaten up in school. So it’s safe to say that streaming these guys’ debut album will get the bullies to beat you up then take you out for a beer. Or the other way around.

Needless to say, you can stream their album here. I personally didn’t give it a listen, I hate listening to albums without the actual CD being out. Granted, I never buy music, but still it’s nice to know the CD is out before illegally downloading it.

Watch their music video after the jump, too, if you want.

Jagermeister do music

You know, when I first heard that Jagermeister would be doing a US tour, I booked my ticket to the States straight away. And then I heard that this isn’t a ’round the US trip, involving drinking lots of Jagermeister and generally doing what I do best; getting incredibly drunk. No, this is actually a Metal tour. So I can hear you crying out now “what’s wrong with that Mark?” I mean you’d think that’s even better wouldn’t you? Well, Hellyeah are playing… Need I say anymore? So of course, I cancelled all my plans and just went to the pub instead.

Also on the bill are Buckcherry, All That Remains and The Damned Things. Dates after the jump.

New music videos by Motorhead, Bring Me The Horizon, Crematory

Today is a good day if you’re bored and want to watch some music videos — “Anthem” by Bring Me The Horizon, “Get Back In Line” by  Motörhead and “Infinity” by Crematory have all been posted online. You can watch them after you make the jump, and in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days (or under few feet of snow if you’re from UK), you can watch The Damned Things‘ video for “We’ve Got a Situation Here” and Corey Taylor‘s  X-M@$ as well.
