Rob Scallon and a horse Source Rob Scallon is just an ordinary guy that plays the guitar really great and makes youTube videos, who decided to cover Slayer songs with unusual instruments. Last week the artist posted a video of him covering Slayer’s War Ensemble with an ukulele. This time he went even further covering Slayer’s well known Raining Blood using a banjo. gotta give the people what they want, and apparently that’s metal covers on…
fWhat happened to Dave Lombardo kind of sucks – being kicked out of the band you helped create and made famous is never fun; who am I kidding – it sucks! But it’s good that Dave is keeping his head high and working on new music… with Disney. Yesterday, he tweeted this: I’ve been working on the music to a cartoon pilot for Disney and never thought It could be this much fun….Stay Tooned!!! —…
Well I know most of you could not possibly care less about this, but I’m a long standing Man United fan, so I’ll beg your forgiveness on this one. Back when defender Gary Neville was the big gun there, rock was all that was played in the locker room. But following his retirement and the infusion of new players, rap and R&B took over – mostly supported by Patrice Evra. Thankfully though, goalkeeper David De…
A while ago, I was telling you about how Slayer decided to kick out drummer and founding member Dave Lombardo. It’s still not clear if the move is permanent or just for the Australian tour, but man, seeing this kind of drama in a band like Slayer is just not cool. Following this rather blurry event, Slayer frontman Tom Araya took some time to talk about the “drummer situation”. However, he did not address Lombardo’s…
Aww man, it always saddens me to see drama in iconic bands like Slayer. The band has marked my teenage years, and seeing them live is just about as awesome as a concert can get. A founding member of Slayer, drummer Dave Lombardo, has been removed from the band’s Australian tour over a contract dispute. Lombardo put quite a length post on his Facebook, explaining (from his point of view) the conditions that led to…
Apothesary in the middle of their set at 924 Gilman.
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…
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…
The Clash of the Titans 1991 tour was one of the most epic and spectacular series of metal gigs to ever have graced the planet, basically making various venues in the US and Europe the very center of the scene for a day. Now, Megadeth and Slayer are set to embark on a tour of almost equal proportions in 2010, called the American Carnage Tour. They even brought on Testament as openers to re-create the…
I’ve been a really huge fan of Pinback, ever since their early days, when they weren’t big or anything. Time has passed and they’ve steadily grown in popularity and beards, but luckily Pinback is not one of those bands that sells out or turn overly commercial, their still playing their thing after almost 10 years now. “From Nothing To Nowhere” is their first video of their upcoming forth album Autumn Of The Seraphs, due 9/11;…
