Megadeth Continues to Squeeze Blood From a Stone
LOS ANGELES—Looking to break Kiss' record for repeatedly
re-packaging virtually the same greatest hits album, Megadeth mainman Dave
Mustaine has announced 'Anthology', a double-album of all the same songs on all
their other greatest hits albums. 'Anthology' will include a demo version of
'High Speed Dirt', which is totally worth the $19.98.
"I gotta admit, I
thought there was no way in hell people would buy 'Warchest,'" said Mustaine.
"But I really underestimated the insanity of some of my fans, like this one dude
that has a Heavy Metal Comedy website. I could take a dump on a CD and he'd
buy it. Hell, he bought 'Risk.'"
Mustaine is unsure if he will tour to
promote the album but
if
he does, fans can expect to
hear the same 16 songs Mustaine has been playing for 12 years, plus two
deep cuts that will justify the $40 ticket.
'Total Coincidence' that The 11th Hour Shares Name with Kick-Ass Lamb of God Song
NETHERLANDS--Danish doom metalers The 11th Hour claim to
be the 'wretched spawn of 2 kindred spirits' love for good old fashioned doom
metal'. But behind all the doom and gloom and the MySpace page is actually two
teenagers that discovered Lamb of God via Guitar Hero.
A late night 'Laid to
Rest' jam session on Playstation 2 between Ed Warby and Rogga Johansson
led the pair to the interweb where they found Lamb of God and thought they were
the first to discover the Richmond metal titans. Two Lowenbraus and a YouTube
marathon later, The 11th Hour was born.
The pair is already
putting together a couple of side bands
called 'Omerta' and 'Now You've Got
Something to Die For.'
New Slipknot Sounds Like That Shitty Radio Rock Band Stone Sour
DES MOINES--'All Hope is Gone', the new Slipknot disc,
hits the shelves in late August, where it will be ignored by millions as they
download it for free from their favorite BitTorrent site, but the lead single
'Psychosocial' is already polluting the airwaves with its sucky, yet
disgustingly catchy, self.
"I can't believe I like that song. It's one
step up from 'Through Glass' and that song blew," said this one dude that
does not want anyone to know he is 32 years old and is inside a Hot
Topic.
"I blame Sirius Sattelite Radio. They would trick you by playing
'All Hope is Gone' and then 'Psychosocial.' You're all hyped up by
the first song, that you forget how bad the second song is. It's kinda like watching
'Grindhouse.'"
