Meeeeoooow

See the beauty above? That’s Samantha Slopes and she has filed a police report claiming Slash‘s wife, Perla Hudson, kicked her in the stomach. Apparently cause she was talking to Slash.

Before I go any further, check out more photos of Samantha here. Not safe for work, stomach or erections by the way.

Now… I wasn’t there so I don’t know what to believe. But Samantha looks like a gal who could take care of herself. I wouldn’t have the balls to kick her in the stomach, that’s for sure. Would she really just cry after a kick and end it there? Doubtful. Besides, what was Perla worried about? Unless Slash had a huge bag of flour on him, she had no reason to be jealous.

TMZ has a video of Perla denying the claims, by the way…

Surf’s up, bra!

Nothing says metal like surfing on a blue surfboard. Luckily, neither Kirk nor Metallica are metal so I guess it’s okay. See? He didn’t even do the devil horns properly.

Anyway, you might think Kirk is home practicing guitar with a metronome, but you’d think wrong. He’s in Hawaii surfing. Well, why wouldn’t he? Next time he has problems keeping up with James on stage, he can just add a ton of wah to hide it… Oh wait.

But yeah, if you fancy seeing more photos of Kirk surfing, check out more photos here.

Aerosmith go up 250%

The Hollywood Reporter has reported that, since Steven Tyler sold out for the millionth time became a judge on American Idol, Aerosmith‘s album sales have gone up by 250 percent.

Wow, that must mean Aerosmith have sold 250 albums. Congrats guys.

I’m wondering now if perhaps all the Metal artists in need of sales boosts should make TV appearances too.  Imagine Glenn Benton on Songs of Praise, Robb Flynn on Glee, or Seth Putnam on The Hills. Wouldn’t that be like totally awesome?

Kreator and DEF-CON-ONE added to Bloodstock ’11

Dose of Metal informed you that DEF-CON-ONE (featuring Antton of Venom fame) would be ones to watch out for in 2011, and we were right (when aren’t we?). And if you don’t know who DEF-CON-ONE are yet (where have you been?) then check out our interview with them here.

The UK’s biggest pure Metal fest, Bloodstock, has announced they have added more bands to their bill for 2011. Kreator will be making their only UK appearance there, and DEF-CON-ONE, Wolf, 1349, Nemhain and Survivors Zero will all be making an appearance.

Brian Johnson wants to drive

I am usually against senior citizens driving around, especially in powerful cars, but Brian Johnson is an exception because he’s in AC/DC. I truly believe being in that band should grant you permission to do anything and everything. Yes, even murder… Anyways:

“AC/DC front man Brian Johnson could be banging doorhandles with V8 Supercar stars Craig Lowndes and James Courtney later this year. The 63-year-old rocker and lead singer of one of the world’s biggest rock band is understood to be in discussions with V8 Supercars heavyweights about a possible one-off drive that would see him line up on the grid of Australia’s largest motor racing series.“

$10 says everyone picking up this news story will make a pun involving “Highway to Hell.” Check out the title of the original story: “AC/DC singer wants highway to V8 heaven.”

O RLY? Highway to V8 heaven? Oh, I know, because the song is called… I get it, I get it… Smart, right? And funny too… Kill me now.
