Posted by Chris Harris on April 18, 2012 in News, Shamelessness

Or is it? Some dude from Fuse — who claims to have broken the story about the now-pregnant chick who fucked a dude in the bathroom stall at a Motorhead/Megadeth show in Chicago [Edit: I was sent a copy of the ad, and never saw Fuse write a piece — emailed me with a follow-up Read More

That’s right, you spatula king! The groundbreaking thrash band that’ll sell you anything have released their own Sweden-exclusive red wine. Yup — Slayer fucking wine. The name of the wine is “Reign In Blood.” I like my name better. Slayer join an illustrious list of other metal sellouts who’ve put out their own wines. That Read More

They’ll Slap A Slayer Logo On Anything These Days

Posted by Chris Harris on March 15, 2012 in Huh?, News, Shamelessness

Slayer are willing to sell you anything. Don’t be surprised. Dudes gotta retire at some point, and there are probably medical considerations (and bills, probably) to consider (and pay). So far, Slayer have tried to sell us rings and candy and jimmy caps. Now, there’s a Slayer woven tapestry blanket for you suckers to spend Read More

Fred Durst Talks Mad Shit About Forthcoming LP

Posted by Chris Harris on March 7, 2012 in News, Shamelessness

And I quote: Limp Bizkit are working on “the heaviest, most crazy metal record of all time.” Just take that in for a second or two. Let that marinade. “The heaviest, most crazy metal record of all time.” ALL TIME! He’s obviously talking shit here. He can not possibly think this is true, unless his Read More

Boob Tube Alert: Animated Osbournes Coming Soon?

Posted by Chris Harris on March 5, 2012 in Featured, Huh?, News, Shamelessness

That’s the good word, folks. The Osbournes — maybe the most annoying family to come along since the von Trapps — will be getting the claymation treatment. Reports claim Ozzy Osbourne and his family will voice stop-motion animated versions of themselves in a new TV comedy sitcom called “The F’n Osbournes.” Damn, that’s clever. The Read More

Babymetal Remains The Worst Thing To Ever Happen — EVER!

Posted by Chris Harris on March 4, 2012 in News, Poop, Shamelessness

It was back in late October that we first brought you a video from Babymetal, this awful girl group from Japan that my niece would probably love. I previously ranted about why these girls were a sign of the impending Apocalyspe, so no need to rehash that diatribe. Rather, I warn you. Yes, I am Read More

Slayer Now Selling You A Cool Ring

Posted by Chris Harris on February 20, 2012 in News, Shamelessness

What the fuck? Slayer needs to back off a bit on the merchandising. They put out some Valentine’s Day candies last month, and now, they’re trying to sell you a ring. Slayer, are you trying to replace Kiss as the most shameless band in hard rock? That was a rhetorical question. The Great Frog, which Read More

So, Ghoul are gearing up to hit the road this spring with Gwar, Municipal Waste, and Kylesa, but they don’t have sufficient wheels.

Slayer Releases Evil Candy Jar

Posted by Chris Harris on February 11, 2012 in News, Shamelessness

Oh yes they did. What do you get that special Valentine who seemingly has everything? A Gun Shy Assassin tee, of course. But if that special Valentine already has GSA gear, then consider this. The band have released a special Slayer candy jar, complete with special red and black candies.
