All Satriani wants is some pen pals

Satriani may look mean on stage with his shiny bald head and his 70s cop shows type sunglasses. But inside, he’s just a big softie, and all he wants is to e-befriend you. Awww.

You can download his new single, “Light Years Away,” just for Tweeting or posting on Facebook.

So have a heart, help him social network his way into more friends.

Whitesnake biography

If you’re like me, there’s nothing you want more than to read 240 pages about how a bunch of guys looking like girls made a career out of screaming high notes.

So you’ll be dying to know this amazing and insightful book, called “Whitesnake: The Definitive Biography,” will hit stores in the spring of 2011, for only $272.  Of course, if you think that’s a bargain and would like to pay more, a more expensive edition with a flight case will be available.

So what are you waiting for? GO.

When asked how they manage to look like that in 2010 and not get beaten up on the street, the members of Whitesnake had no comment.

I know what you're thinking…

I know what you’re thinking right now… My life is complete, I have everything I want, except for a 3′ x 5′ Down flag!

Well, you’re in luck. Cause guess what, for a $45 pre-order on Down‘s upcoming CD/DVD release, you can get one. And they’ll also throw in a shirt, cause it’s not like they’re greedy or anything.

What’s their new release, you ask?

“Diary Of A Mad Band features a two-CD full concert recorded in London. The 130-minute DVD features footage documenting the 2006 return of Down from the practice room through the band’s first European tour, and a bonus behind-the-scenes featurette entitled Tyrades and Shananigans” — Release date: 5th of October, 2010

Slash loves Slash's singer

You wouldn’t think it, but Slash loves his solo project, called Slash. He thinks Slash’s singer, Myles Kennedy, is “amazing.”

Nothing beats a bit of self-promotion.

By the way guys, the guy who writes on Dose Of Metal is fucking amazing! Check him out, yo.

When asked why he looks like a children’s character, Slash said “Oompa loompa doompadee doo”

Phil Anselmo: Make love, not war

Philip Anselmo of Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Arson Anthem, Christ Inversion, Southern Isolation and Viking Crown (just to name a few) recently sat down for an interview.

It got all emotional and borderline homoerotic when he was asked about his relationship to the estranged Pantera bandmate, Vinnie.

“I think about Vinnie Paul every day.”

I smell a new Superjoint Ritual song out of this:

“The fans must rise, salute the queer
Another dreary, people fearing
Dick the Vinnie, screw the city
Forget you were, forget you were“

When asked if he’s a chubby chaser, Phil said “Respect, WALK”
