What I want to know is why it didn’t happen sooner so I wouldn’t have to hear them play back in November? If you recall, right at the end of the Endgame tour, Suicide Silence had their laminats taken away by Dave Mustaine and they didn’t play the last show. Well here is the frontman’s explanation to the question asked by an Affliction interviewer who is also Ozzy’s bass player  (text from Blabbermouth):

“I think the whole situation was funny. It’s basic — [MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine] wanted our laminates back because we were getting people in, we were passing our laminates out. We were getting our friends in because we were only allowed, like, 10 people on the guest list. We were just doing that — getting people in — and he thought it was a risk to his dressing room, which it could have been; some superfan could have gone in there and done god knows what. And the situation went from that to him wanting our laminates back, and it was, like, the last day of tour. And we were just like, ‘You know what? I like this [grabbing his pass]. Sorry.’ And it turned out bad. But fuck it. It was still a fun tour.”

So, he was breaking the rules, hookin’ up his buddies, possibly creating potential problems and he thinks it was funny? Sounds to me like spoiled kids that don’t know how to follow simple rules when you are given the opportunity and privilege to tour with two amazing bands. We all know that Suicide Silence wasn’t chosen for the tour because of their talent. They were chosen because Dave is Business smart and he knows what sells tickets. I don’t think that was very fair to the rest of us, but oh well. You can watch the video of the interview below. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a hectic week and I haven’t had time to do any updates. In case you missed some of the news this week, here is a break down of some of the things that have transpired in the the world of metal this week.

• Evile have announced that they have found a new bass player after the tragic death of Mike Alexander. The new bass player has been announced as Joel Graham. Here is a quote from the band:

He’s an excellent, experienced bass player, and a really nice guy. We’d all appreciate it if you gave him a warm welcome to the band, as this must be a bizarre situation for him to be in also. We’ll be getting some photos taken with him soon so you can see us with Joel, we just wanted to get the news out there that we have a new bassist, and that we thank each and every person for auditioning. Mike would be honoured at the amount of respect and admiration you expressed to us through contacting us.”

• The “Big Four” (Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer) will NOT be touring per se, but will share the stage at Switzerland’s Sonisphere next summer. If you have the means, witness history.
• Diamond Head are releasing an autobiography titled “Am I Evil” and can be purchased for a limited run of 500 at Diamond-head.net.
• Slipknot have filmed a video for the song “Snuff” from their 2008 release All Hope Is Gone. The video is actually a short film directed by Shawn Crahan and can be viewed on Youtube. On a side note, Snuff is one of my favorites off of All Hope Is Gone and I’m still hoping that Corey does a solo album of acoustic stuff in the future.
• Suicide Silence were booted from the Megadeth Endgame tour just two dates short of it’s end. No solid official details yet, but word has it that Dave Mustaine kicked them off and revoked their laminates for an incident that happened earlier in the tour. A statement from Suicide Silence will come later.
• Brain Drill have finished up recording the follow up to 2008′s Apocalyptic Feasting. You can listen to one of the new tracks called “Monumental Failure” on their Myspace.
• Whitechapel have entered the studio and will start recording the follow up to 2008′s This Is Exile. This time around Jason Seucof will be taking the reigns of producer.

In local news, I have had contact with a sponsor and I will be posting a banner pretty soon and introducing some of their products. I’ll have more on that real soon.

As soon as tickets for the North American Endgame tour went on sale I was all over it and bought my ticket. It cost me a little over $40 dollars but I had not been to a Megadeth show in over 12 years.

When we got to the venue there was a long line down the street and I figured it was going to be a long wait because it was listed that doors were opening at 6:45 pm and we got there a little less than an hour before the scheduled opening. Parked the car in a parking deck that said they were closing at 12:30 am and that had me a little worried because I wasn’t sure what time the show was supposed to be over but the attendant told me that it was supposed to be over by 11:30.

This has been out for quite awhile but, since their release of  No Time To Bleed. I do believe this is the worst cover of any song I have ever heard from any band. It’s almost impossible to make out the song. If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s labeled as Them Bones, I wouldn’t know that it was a cover song. I would have just thought it was just another shitty Suicide Silence song.

I was about to shut it down for the night and I found (through other blogs on my RSS) some other new songs streaming online for you guys to check out.

• Obituary is streaming List Of The Dead on their Myspace. List Of The Dead will be on the new album Darkest Day, coming on June 30th.
• Krisiun posted a new, unreleased track Infested Waters on their Myspace.
• Suicide Silence are streaming Wake Up on their Myspace, which will be on their new album No Time To Bleed, coming on June 30th. Obviously they’ve watched Predator one too many times.
• Job For A Cowboy has also posted a new song from their upcoming album, Ruination. Check out Unfurling A Darkened Gospel on Myspace.
• Coalesce are streaming their entire new album on Lambgoat.com, where you can read all the “Van Flip” and “Fagget” comments if you like. Meh, not feeling this one.
• Al Jourgensen’s 13 Planet Records is offering a FREE download of a 6 song sampler at Vampirefreaks.com. The 5 song/2 video sampler includes Ministry, Ascension Of The Watchers, Stayte, False Icons and Revolting Cocks.
