September 19, 2012 Rolling Stone, who aren't really known for their stellar coverage of metal in general (IMHO) have released their reader-poll results for best metal albums of all time. Unsurprisingly, it was totally dominated by Metallica's four monster albums, "Master of Puppets", "Ride The Lightning", "...And Justice For All" and "Metallica". Who else made the list?
August 23, 2012 I played the Five Finger Death Punch version of Bad Company earlier and it got me thinking about cover songs.
August 6, 2012 Metallica recently rocked Mexico City and I found a sample for you!
July 31, 2012 A lot of people belittle Metallica nowadays (does that word make me sound old?) since they haven't been as heavy as their first four albums in the last twenty years. That hasn't stopped them from dominating the globe with their massive tour schedules and album releases. If you haven't seen Metallica live, you're missing out. It's a great show, and they really do some of the coolest things with their stages.
July 30, 2012 It was this day in 1991 when the video for "Enter Sandman" came out on MTV. Remember when MTV actually played music videos? It used to stand for MUSIC Television, and not MORON Television. This was well before the age of the reality TV stupidity that's taken over all the "music" television.
Where were you when this video came out?
June 25, 2012 Did you catch the live stream of Metallicas set at the Orion Music And More Festival this weekend??
June 21, 2012 Can't make the Orion Music And More Fetsival this weekend? No Prob!!!!
Germany’s massive Rock am Ring music festival concluded its three-day sonic assault yesterday. The annual festival featured an incredible batch of bands, including Metallica, Marilyn Manson and Linkin Park. In case you weren’t in the Nürburg area during the 2012 edition of the legendary gathering, some seriously awesome pro-shot footage has surfaced online.
May 31, 2012 The internet is a fun thing. It makes everyone browse like men describe women shopping. I call I "Shiny Syndrome", and I know a LOT of people who suffer from it in their normal life. But "Shiny Syndrom" seems to affect everyone once we get on the internet.
After Metallica frontman James Hetfield recently called Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine a ‘big mouth’ for publicly stating that he’d like to form a Metallica / Megadeth supergroup, Mustaine has now apologized to Hetfield, promising that he’ll never speak of the subject again.
Following Metallica’s less-than-popular collaboration with Lou Reed last year, the metal gents are ready to get back into the studio and craft a proper Metallica set. Speaking with Metal Hammer (via Blabbermouth), frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich hinted that the next Metallica album will be another one with producer Rick Rubin in tow.
