Bruce Dickinson Says Iron Maiden Better Than Metallica

Posted by Chris Harris on June 6, 2011 in Huh?, News

And I happen to agree with him. I mean, it kind of goes without saying, no? Iron Maiden have been around longer, and are known to a larger population. They’ve never changed their styles to win fans, only made minor adjustments commiserate with age. But Bruce Dickinson says it better than I do. He discusses Read More

Sepultura Covering Ministry, The Prodigy

Posted by Chris Harris on March 1, 2011 in News, Sarcasm

I’ve often lost sleep at night thinking to myself that The Prodigy’s “Firestarter” could’ve been much, much better…only, it was missing that certain something. Perhaps it needed a metal edge?

Zakk Wylde Still Threatening To Break Legs

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

Last week, I spoke with Zakk Wylde during a conference call in which he said he’d break someone’s legs if it took four days in the studio to get a guitar tone, so I asked him: Have you ever actually broken someone’s leg, Zakk? I got him to admit that he has not — not Read More
