So, I Guess No “Big Four” Tour?

Posted by Chris Harris on July 15, 2010 in News, Shamelessness, Tour Dates

Metallica are done. For the time being. According to Blabbermouth, Metallica claims the show they’d recently added to their South Pacific fall tour — a gig booked for Christchurch, New Zealand, on September 22 — is the band’s last live set in support of 2008’s Death Magnetic. Well, that dashes those “Big Four” tour hopes, Read More

Winds of Plague Blowing Down Wind

Posted by Chris Harris on July 14, 2010 in Chicks, New Records, News, Pervoscope, Shamelessness

Out where I grew up, people name their homes. Its weird. But people do it. On one block (and this is no bullshit…its out in Montauk, New York), there was this house that some pretentious person named “Passing Winds.” I may be remembering it wrong, but it was either that or (someone correct me if Read More

Dir En Grey Map Out North American Tour

Posted by Chris Harris on July 14, 2010 in Chicks, News, Shamelessness, Tour Dates

Back in January, I flew over to Japan to cover a Dir En Grey show for Noisedweeb, and it was probably one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. I spent most of my time with Full Metal Jackie and interviewed the band…footage of which, I am told, is on their new live DVD, Read More

Antagonist Release “Sasha Grey”

Posted by Chris Harris on July 14, 2010 in Chicks, New Records, News, Pervoscope, Shamelessness

I am a fan of Sasha Grey. The chick knows how to take it like a true champ. She’s done everything and anything you can think of on film, and, much to my chagrin, has decided to try and do a Traci Lords and make the move to more mainstream film work. And she’s succeeding, Read More

Puddle of Mudd: The Gun Shy Interview

Posted by Chris Harris on July 14, 2010 in Gun Shy Interview, Shamelessness

I’d be lying to you if I said I liked Puddle of Mudd and I don’t lie. So I’ll just tell you that the band has a tour launching this Friday (July 16) in Jacksonville, Fla. The band are part of the lineup for the first-ever Carnival of Madness Tour, with 10 Years, Shinedown, Chevelle, Read More

Bret Not Engaged; Women By The Thousands Relieved

Posted by Chris Harris on July 14, 2010 in Corrections, Huh?, News, Sarcasm, Shamelessness

I had a feeling that Star Magazine exclusive about Poison frontman Bret Michaels popping the question to longtime cum receptacle Kristi Lynn Gibson was bullshit. I happen to know how things work over there…hence my speculation at the report yesterday, which I first read about on Blabbermouth. Today, PopEater brings us a report that calls Read More

Steven Tyler’s Daughter Picks A Winner

Posted by Chris Harris on July 13, 2010 in Chicks, Huh?, Pervoscope, Shamelessness

For a good year there, it seemed Aerosmith was done for. Steve Tyler fell off stage during a show, and shattered his entire skeleton, I think. And then, Steven was talking about branching out and focusing on “brand Tyler” and the rest of Aerosmith was all like, “Go ahead and do your own thing, dicklips. Read More

Stone Sour: Just A Cooler Version of Nickelback

Posted by Chris Harris on July 13, 2010 in New Records, News, Shamelessness

Which is not saying much. Am I right or am I right? I listen to Stone Sour tunes and I can’t help but think that, if not for the presence of Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor’s voice, I’d assume they were Nickelback demos. I mean, Stone Sour is rock for the fuck of it, and I Read More

Dude Sues Rush For Canceling Gig

Posted by Chris Harris on July 10, 2010 in Huh?, News, Shamelessness

OK, now I’m not the world’s biggest Rush fan, so let me put it terms I can relate to, and perhaps even you might have better luck relating to. Then maybe we’ll see where this dude’s coming from. So let’s say I paid round trip airfare to go to Chicago to see Faith No More Read More

LeBron James Moving To The Land of Death Metal

Posted by Chris Harris on July 9, 2010 in Huh?, News, Shamelessness

I knew LeBron wasn’t coming to New York or New Jersey. I figured dude would stay in Cleveland (which shows you how much I know about basketball), but, ultimately, he chose to sign with the Miami Heat. He made the announcement from a school in Connecticut last night during what was perhaps the longest press Read More
