Tuesday Trivia: Metal trivia board game
This week for Tuesday Trivia I have a short, meta and pretty kickass "Did you know?" for you guys (and that one girl from Thailand).
Make the jump!
Tuesday Trivia: The funniest (and/or worst) metal band name
Originally, the plan for this Tuesday Trivia was to write something that would tie in with Guido's awesome death metal week project. Unfortunately, I had the idea of looking up funny death metal bands (yeah, they exist), which led to funny death metal band names, which further led me to look for just generally idiotic metal band names.
You can probably figure out what this is building up to: grind.
If there ever was a genre that really pushed the boundaries on all things gross, it was grindcore/death grind/gore grind/whatever grind. I'm fairly certain around 100% of them are, you know, actually kidding, which makes it kind of okay, I guess... Either way, make the jump.
Tuesday Trivia: The one Kiss product we won’t make fun of
We've written extensively about Kiss products, from kaskets to kondoms. We obviously also made plenty of fun regarding them. I mean, the only reason I'm posting the trailer for their movie "Kiss Meets The Phantom of the Park" above is so you can laugh even if you find my humor weak and this article lame. Plus some of you might find that corn-fest new, so I'm doing a double job, really.
After you've done laughing, get ready to take a look at one thing that bears the Kiss name that I could actually check out that might not be complete shit (hence the trivia). Read on to find out what it is.
Tuesday Trivia: The most metal sport
Tuesday Trivia took an unexpected break the past two weeks, so we're back with vengeance. Going where no metalhead has ever gone before -- outside of our basements and doing sports.
What is the most metal sport out there?. Make the jump and prepare to have your mind blown.
Tuesday Trivia: Metal connection #3 – Christopher Lee
They say you learn something new every day, which is completely true. Now, take a word of advice from me, it's not always a good thing. I learned something today, and I had to watch a Rhapsody video because of it. *queue symphonic power metal joke*
Having said that, I leave it up to you to make the decision, if you want to take the risk, make the jump and deal with the consequences.
Tuesday Trivia: Tom Morello’s sexy secret
I just stumbled on this article which details Tom Morello's early days in Los Angeles, where he moved after graduating from Harvard. The funny part? After the jump!
Tuesday Trivia: Metal connection #2 – Will Smith
Now this is a story
All about how Tuesday Trivia
Got twisted upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how Dose of Metal started covering
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Yeah, my rap skillz are off the fucking hook... We are covering Will Smith for this week's Tuesday Trivia, though. Fo' real-real.
Tuesday Trivia: Metal connection #1 – Nicolas Cage
There's something pretty weird about Nicolas Cage. His movies are either pretty good, or pretty shit. Or Ghost Rider, which is a category of its own.
What the hell does any of that have to do with metal, you might ask? Well, as part of a short series of trivia articles I'm thinking of starting, I'll be going places outside of metal to look for metal. Make the jump now, because it's Tuesday Trivia time, bitch.
Tuesday Trivia: Scene sandwich
Oh, the things I do for this website. Remember a few months back when I got some help from a friend and did an article on djent? Well, that was actually kinda fun, because I got to 'know' Animals As Leaders better and I truly think they're an awesome band.
What is definitely not that much of fun is doing this one today. Taking into account that djent is popular in the scene masses, I took another typical scene genre, did a quick Google search and hoped it would yield results, and holy shit, here's another Tuesday Trivia covering things that will most likely annoy you. But someone's gotta do it.
Tuesday Trivia: Anarchy in the UK (and guns in the US of A)
Here at Dose of Metal we are not only musical. We are also socially aware. That's why we're devoting this week's Tuesday Trivia to the recent UK rioting.
It's a horrible thing that's happening there right now. The youth of the country is facing so many problems, it was evident at one point riots would errupt.
Here's a breakdown of the reasons for the recent protests:
- Some people apparently couldn't install 50+ Mb internet in their suburban London districts. Shameful.
- Playstation Network was down for over a month. The rage built up, in the meantime kids started live action streetfighting.
- Local scene shop ran out of hairdryers. All the scene kids shaved their heads in protest and turned skinhead over night.
- New Limp Bizkit album made a divide between the metal and rap crews. Shootouts were inevitable.
- People started getting aggravated due to long queues for iPad 2 and white iPhone 4.
In case you didn't figure it out, I'm being fucking sarcastic. This is the most shameful shit Britain's seen in ages, downright looting, and it's hurting legitimacy of, you know, real protests in the real world, with real problems.
What does this have to do with metal? Well, you know the drill. Jumpdafuckup.
Tuesday Trivia: Metal games
Hey, what's your favorite metal game? Mine include:
- moshing with metal attachements on my boots
- throwing a glass beer bottle at a concert behind me and seeing how many people bleed
- kicking a wigger
I'm kidding of course. Except maybe for the last one. The games we'll be covering today have nothing to do with concerts. In fact, they're my favorite games -- the ones that don't make you leave the house. Make the jump and get familiar with some of the heavy metal video games.
Tuesday Trivia: Of parodies and weed
Wazzup...
There is something about parodies that doesn't always sit right with me. But that's probably because I grew up watching things like Scary Movie (which was even tolerable) inspire a generation of idiotic excuses for 70 minutes of "entertainment." Since everything I ever wrote on this website is a weak rehash of someone else's jokes, I'll just tell you to check out Maddox's amazing video on the subject, so we can turn to the more important things. Things like metal.
Tuesday Trivia: 44 Minutes
You guys remember our Tuesday Trivia, right? Well, it was Simo's creation, and he took a leave of absence from the interwebs, so we decided not to do it weekly anymore. Can't step on other people's toes, you know?
But from time to time, we will write one, and it's that time again. So brace yo'selves, bitches, Alex is gonna learn you something today.
Today's TT focuses on Megadeth's song '44 Minutes.' You know it, you like it, but do you know what it's about?
The name itself is from a movie, a movie which documents one of the most intense shootouts L.A.P.D. has ever seen. A shootout that lasted 44 minutes and ended with both robbers dead. But what do the lyrics mean, what happened in the real shootout and how good is the actual movie? Make the jump to find out.
Tuesday Trivia: Smelling Fear in the Teen Factory
Now, if the headline above isn't just the greatest headline of all time, then I might just have to lay off the weed. And, depends on if you're stoned yourself or not, you might have already figured out what, or rather whom, this article is about. But, just in case, I'll break it down for you.
'Smells Like Teen Spirit' + Fear Factory + weed = Smelling Fear in the Teen Factory
Worked for me.
But anyhow, now you know whom this article is about. Are you wondering just what the two (the Nirvana song and Fear Factory) have to do with each other? Well, make the jump to find out.
Tuesday Trivia: The longest Metal songs ever
So it's that time again, it's the weekly feature, Tuesday Trivia, which, erm, we haven't actually done in a couple of weeks now. Apologies about that, but we are all regular guys, with day jobs, and we've all been super busy recently (did I just say super busy? Ugh never mind). But what do you care? I know, I need to stop babbling.
So what's this week's Tuesday Trivia on? Well, Metal as a general rule, is an ambitious genre and bands are always trying to out do eachother. Metal also doesn't confine itself to "rules" and if they want to write a song that's longer than the average length (which is 3:30 for those interested), then they'll damn well do it. So, with that in mind, this week's Trivia is about the longest Metal tracks.
Make the jump for the longest article ever (just kidding, it's not that long).
