Podcast Payment Mix-Ups Leads to Financial Issues
for Warbringer Guitarist
LOS ANGELES--Adam Carroll is the now-former guitarist
of Los Angeles thrashers Warbringer. Adam Carolla is a
popular radio talk show host with a very profitable
podcast. The similar names has indirectly led to
Carroll's financial issues and subsequent departure
from the band.
For the last two years, ITunes has mistakenly given
Carroll a cut of Carolla's podcast payout, an error
that was recently discovered by Carrolla's
accountants. Now Carroll, who has become dependent on
the royalty checks, must pay back tens of thousands of
dollars to the former 'Man Show' co-host.
An upcoming tour with Iced Earth was not going to
cover Carroll's expenses so he was forced to leave the
band for a more financially profitable endeavor. A
plot line straight out of a 'Seinfeld' episode,
Carroll is reportedly going to work as Carrolla's
butler to help work off some of his debt.
Primal Fear and Disturbed Do Not Have the Same Lead
Singer
CHICAGO--White singer with a shaved head, flavor
saver and a penchant for wearing vests. Sound unique?
Attendees of the 2011 Mayhem Festival thought the band
with that dude ruined an otherwise nice afternoon.
Unfortunately for German power metallers Primal Fear
they have been receiving some hateful emails because
lead singer Ralf Scheepers looks like Disturbed
frontman David Draiman.
According to a spokesperson for the band, several
Blabbermouth readers saw a recent post about the band
and upon viewing the accompanying picture assumed it
was Primal Fear that mailed it in at the 2011 Mayhem
Festival and bombarded the band's webmaster with
hateful emails. Some of the more creative missives
called the band Primal Shit, Primal Queer, and
Suckfest.
Draiman could not be reached for comment as he was
reportedly out shopping for labret rings.
Shit Band Booked to Give Download Festival Attendees
Time for a Shit Break
ENGLAND--The final night of the 2012 Download
Festival is shaping up as one of the great hard rock
lineups of recent memory featuring Devildriver, Kyuss,
Black Label Society, Lamb of God, Megadeth,
Soundgarden, and headliners Black Sabbath. Upon first
inspection Brett Jackson did not know when he would
have time to drop a deuce if the mood were to strike
him to do such a thing. Enter Five Finger Death Punch.
"I never thought I would be so glad to hear to those
four awful words," said Jackson. "Dont get me wrong,
those four words are fine on their own, but if you
string them together in that order it is a
shit-bortion."
Kyuss drew the short straw as they are tasked with
following the band known for 'sodomizing every memory
of enjoying the song 'Bad Company'' and re-awakening
the crowd.
