Machine Head frontman congratulates Avenged Sevenfold on ‘covers album’

Shots: fired. Legendary Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn came out with a blog posting on his online blog, “The General Journals: Diary Of A Frontman… And Other Ramblings – Life Affirming” in which he totally slams and dunks Avenged Sevenfold. I’m gonna take the liberty of quoting him here: “Congratulations to AVENGED SEVENFOLD on their latest ‘covers album’ coming in at #1. “Who knew that re-recording METALLICA, GUNS N’ ROSES and MEGADETH songs could be

Dave Mustaine went crazy at the concert last night

The story is something like this: Megadeth on stage in Manchester, England, they have some technical problems and get off the stage for 15 minutes or so; after that a crazy fan yells something at them, and Dave hears that and starts saying at the microphone the following words: You look like Eminem, you stupid c**t … Get the f**k out of here, get this guy out of here, you [indecipherable] b***h…Come up here,

Newsted Unveil New Song ‘Heroic Dose’, disclose full track listing

Newsted, the band recently started by former Metallica bassist and general badass Jason Newsted has released a brand new song – ‘Heroic Dose’, which you can stream below. Discussing the album and the new EP, Jason said: “The EP was always intended to be the primer, a sampler of what was to come on the LP,” he said. “It’s all metal all the time. It’s not all fast, but it is all heavy.” Confirmed! The

Dave Mustaine: I got my own tarantula named after me!

I don’t know what’s going on with scientists nowadays, they tend more and more to give name to newest species of animals or plants by well known musicians. Maybe you’ve all already read about the ferns named after Lady Gaga, now the scientist Brent E. Hendrixson discovered a new specie of tarantula in Southwestern New Mexico and Arizona, and thought that he might name it after Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine. And he actually did that according to Mustaine’s

The New Breed of Metal: An Interview with Archea

Just upstate from the birthing grounds of such great thrash pioneers as Slayer and Metallica comes Archea, a rather rambunctious young group with a definite and ferocious sound. Coming straight out of Pleasant Hill, California, (an otherwise quiet town dwindling in the glare of the lights of San Francisco), Archea can only be described as a crazy delicious blend of metals that you won’t want to miss, and that you wouldn’t soon forget. I was

Berkeley Colored Metal: An Interview With Apothesary

Forget the stereotypes, people. Gone are the greasy, stand-offish metal band members, and in their places come the members of Apothesary, a three-piece metal band from the East Bay Area of California (Concord). Right off the bat, the three main members of the band, Jared Eandi, Greg O’Neill, and Clayton Cagle, were very amiable and willing to let me in to their musical world. The three boys and female temporary bassist (Stephanie Shideler) sat down with me

The “Big Four” Tour coming to United States…finally [update: 1/25/11]

The “Big Four” of of the ’80s thrash metal movement – ya know: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax – is finally touring together in America…at some point. This, of course, comes after they toured Europe last year and put out a concert DVD from the Bulgaria show. All we know so far is that it’s happening. Apparently, tour dates are to be announced sometime…later. Anyhow, I bring this up because I have wonder why this

The Grammys: Best Metal Performance

Ah, yes: the reason above all others why I hate the Grammys. The category is nothing above contemptible to metal fans. The set of nominees any given year follows no pattern and it seems that, compared to any other award, the Academy understands what constitutes metal the least. JUDAS PRIEST, “DISSIDENT AGGRESSOR” Lamb of God, “Set to Fail” Megadeth, “Head Crusher” Ministry, “Señor Peligro” Slayer, “Hate Worldwide” Judas Priest haven’t been worthwhile since the Reagan

A word on modern metal (part 1)

I remember the first time that I heard Megadeth’s “Head Crusher” last July. Within the first twenty seconds, I knew two things were true: Dave wrote the song and Andy Sneap mixed it. The former item is rather inconsequential, as I saw on youtube that it was indeed a Megadeth song. (Had it not been labeled, it still woulda been quite obvious…) But the second is not. In this, the beginning of 2010, the work

Baroness: ‘Blue Record’

Album name: Blue Record Artist name: Baroness Genre: Sludge Metal Released: October 13, 2009 Label: Relapse ZME Rating: 9/10 Website: myspace.com/yourbaroness Red and blue are interesting colors. They are two of the three “addictive primary colors,” the third being green. Red, generally signifying anger in modern culture, is assuredly addictive in American society: road rage, “You lie!,” talk radio, you get it. It would make sense, then, that Savannah quartet Baroness would name an album
