Big Four gig announced
It’s on. The rumors came true, and they start in little ol’ England.
“The Sonisphere Festival rumors have been in high gear and you know how we love our European summer vacations, so we’re here to confirm that we will indeed be at Knebworth House to kick off the weekend on Friday, July 8, 2011!! Hanging with Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer last summer was just too much fun, so here we are doing the Big 4 shenanigans again and this will be the first time that we will all be on the same stage in the U.K.” said a statement on Metallica.com

It’s safe to assume more dates will be announced. It’s also safe to assume that I have a boner. Oh, haha, not from this news… I have two monitors and I’m watching mature porn on the second one.
Oh yeah, tickets will be available here. Need I remind you that we’re giving away two Big Four DVDs in our giveaway? You still have time to enter, fool.
Sepultura won’t reunite with Max
I predicted it and boy, was I right. Before Sepultura took the stage to play ‘Arise’ in its entirety for the first time, they recorded a video for their fans, addressing Max Cavalera, among other things.
“Don’t listen to fucking rumors anymore. We are tired of listening to this fucking bullshit that Max [Cavalera] is saying all over the world, that there’s gonna be a reunion and this and that. We’re here to say there’s no communication, there’s no talks about any type of reunion or any show with the Cavaleras. Igor is doing his job, Max is supposed to do his job, and we are doing our job.
We are Sepultura for 26 years and we celebrating this with a new album, a new deal and a new world tour. And I hope this is the end of fucking rumors and fucking lies, OK?!”
What the video after the jump.
I guess, this puts all rumors to rest. Someone ask Max Cavalera if a reunion is still happening. He seems to know more about the future of Sepultura than Sepultura themselves.
Death Metal time machine
December seems to be the month of death anniversaries. On the 8th, it was the 6th anniversary of Dimebag Darrell’s death and today it’s the 9th anniversary of “Evil” Chuck Schuldiner’s death.
So today German Rock Hard magazine, uploaded a video interview with Death, from 1991, which was originally released on the Rock Guerilla.tv-DVD Vol. 15. You can watch it after the jump.
Disclaimer: Not all Germans look like the interviewer Götz Kühnemund. At least, I don’t.
Dancing With The [middle-aged rock]Stars
Stop the [word]presses! Zakk Wylde is apparently campaigning to get on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ Oh say it isn’t so.
“Black Label Society ear-smasher and all-around badass Zakk Wylde is looking for your support. No, Ozzy Osbourne’s former main man isn’t looking to headline Donington or crash the Big Four tour. Instead, the hirsute hellion is angling to be the latest celebrity to brave the perils of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars program. Yes, according to his MySpace page, Zakk just wants to dance.
Fans are encouraged to visit ABC.com to cast their vote for what would surely be the most entertaining hour of television… ever.“

I hope this is either a hoax or Zakk drank more Johnnie Walked Black Label than usual and tried to be funny.
Mustaine would rather retire than…
It’s that time of the month again, Dave Mustaine has something to say and you just know it’s not going to be something positive. Who did he bitch about this time? Metallica? A fellow Megadeth member? Roadrunner Records? Exactly! Roadrunner.
“We’re getting ready to start the next Megadeth record in January and the funny thing is my manager is telling me now how Roadrunner [which released 2007’s ‘United Abominations’ and 2009’s ‘Endgame’] is going out of their way now to try and give me this new huge deal, and I just don’t want it. I don’t want it. The treatment’s been terrible over the years, and I just don’t want it. I would rather retire than continue to play like that. Either we’re gonna release [future recordings] digitally [on our own] or [see] what happens next. We’ve got this last record [that we owe to] Roadrunner [as part of our current contract]; it’s gonna be a great record ’cause the songs are really, really good. ‘Cause I don’t want my side of the bargain to be tainted — I wanna be a gentleman and be respectful and deliver my side of the deal, whether or not the other party has or not.”
More here.
As you might remember, a while after ‘Endgame’ was released, Mustaine already bitched about Roadrunner not properly promoting the album.
Who’s going to get hit by the Mustaine fist of bitch next?
