Down-Loaded

Down and Loaded should get on like a house on fire, in fact they could both merge and form a new band called Downloaded. But lame jokes aside, Duff Mckagan’s Loaded recently joined Down on stage on June 14, 2011 at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium to perform the Down song ‘Bury Me In Smoke’.

You can view a video of the performance above.

Video of the Week: Ministry

Does anyone remember the time when the USA had a white (lulwut?), dumb president? Oh, who am I talking about? Come on now, I don’t have to tell you his name, do I?

The dumb guy from Texas was probably the most parodied and ridiculed president the States ever had. Ministry even dedicated an entire album (Houses Of The Molé) to him, including the video above for the song ‘No W.’

So enjoy your Saturday with the song/video above. God bless America.

Friday Top 10: Best Death Metal songs

People always ask me “Hey, you awesome metal journalist you, what are the best songs of <insert genre>,” so I figured I’d write a list about the greatest Death Metal songs of all time.

There are just a couple of rules I’m limiting myself to. #1 Only one song per band, #2 Must be Death Metal; not Melodic Death, Deathgrind or Blackened Death.

Sounds simple? Well, it is, isn’t it? So make the jump now for this week’s Friday Top 10.

Slipknot are going old school

Slipknot are (or were) performing right now, in Sonisphere Greece, for the first time since the tragic passing of bassist Paul Gray. Needless to say this is a big event for Slipknot fans, and from the looks of early photos, it seems like the band aren’t disappointing.

The band have gone back to their roots and are performing in the same attire they wore on their Roadrunner debut, which call me sad, has got me slightly giddy and excited. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

Find more photos on the Sonisphere Facebook page.

Metal Kino: Anakonda Im Netz

In the past couple of years, it became popular to shoot documentaries, as well as biographical feature films (i.e. Walk The Line, Ray etc.), about musicians. And it doesn’t stop with Metal. Documentaries about music genres or specific bands are more popular than ever before, so I thought it would be a good idea to start recommenting metal documentaries that are worth a watch right here at Dose of Metal.

We’re starting the first edition of Metal Kino (Kino is German for cinema, get it?) fittingly with a German band: Who else but Rammstein? The band released a documentary called Anakonda Im Netz (= Anaconda In The Net) with their Live DVD Völkerball in 2006.

I couldn’t find a trailer for the documentary but the video above is also taken from Völkerball, a performance of ‘Reise, Reise,’ which also appears in the documentary.

The thing that impressed me the most about this documentary is that each of the bandmembers, especially the surprisingly soft-spoken Till Lindemann, seem to be extremely laid back, down to earth and just overall very nice. Coupled with their exemplary work ethnic (a typical German stereotype) and interesting stories from the road, this 60-minute film gives a nice view into the world of Rammstein.

A story of fire, fishing and heavy music, you can view Anakonda Im Netz after the jump. The film is in German with English subtitles.
