David Ellefson talks about his basses

It’s so good to see David back in Megadeth, and fortunately for me, I got a chance to tell this to him directly when I kicked ass in an interview with him (which kicked ass).

Anyway, in the video above, David is talking a bit about his Jackson bass guitars and you should take a look, because it’s Megadeth, and it rules, so you better recognize.

P.S. = Writing this news made me want to listen to some Megadeth, so expect a recommendation soon… I always share my weekend metal routines.

Down will kick your ass soon

Kirk Windstein has an epic beard and is in three epic bands. One of those epic bands is Down, and apparently they’ll release four EPs of six songs each. Cool, huh?

Watch the interview above and get your face rocked. (that’s what she said)

P.S. = Am I crazy, or does the intro to the video sound like Linkin Park? Isn’t it sad that a) an interview with Kirk Windstein starts off with a Linkin Parkish sound and b) I know enough Linkin Park songs to make that connection?

Future rockstar!

Remember my ‘Young kids and instrument’ bits where I raised my self-esteem by making fun of kids who played instruments badly even though I couldn’t play them at all when I was their age? No? Well maybe this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this will refresh your memory.

You might ask why I stopped doing it though. Well, I frankly got bored of searching for children videos on YouTube, plus it made me feel like a creep…

But the video above is of a kid I personally think is going places… Now, the music industry is kind of like a lottery, if by playing the lottery you needed to know someone in the business and maybe suck a dick or two… So I can’t guarantee that this kid will make it big anytime soon, nor can I gauge his writing talent. But he’s a performer. Watch him nail that RATM song. The solo is sloppy but hey, I’ll let it slide this time.

He’s so good people actually think the video is fake. There’s another video of him playing Crazy Train and unlike this kid, he actually doesn’t butcher it completely. Watch it after the jump.

You need more Sabbra Cadabra in your life…

I love this cover, it’s probably my favorite Garage, Inc. song next to Whiskey In The Jar. There’s something about Metallica’s guitar tone playing Sabbath riffs that just does it for me. It’s like Megan Fox licking sour cream off a 20 year old Pamela Anderson. Just a match made in heaven.

Many people might disapprove of the ‘interlude’ of ‘A National Acrobat’ in the mix but I honestly like it, especially as that interlude ends and the main Sabbra riffs kicks in.

This is a great track so it’s exactly what you need this Sunday. Bitches.

Slash won the Beastly Ball (what?)

The title is misleading, I know, but it’s just too good of a story to not go crazy with the title. Kidding, the story stinks, I don’t even know why I’m posting it, but it’s Saturday, news is slow, half the crew is missing and I’m lonely in my cold apartment *sniff*

Rock icon Slash is set to receive a leadership award from the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Assn. at its 41st Annual Beastly Ball this June, the group said Wednesday.

The Guns N’ Roses guitarist will be given the inaugural Tom F. Mankiewicz Leadership Award, which recognizes his longtime contributions to establishing environmental welfare programs. He’s also a trustee on GLAZA’s board and has supported the L.A. Zoo and zoos around the world.

‘The biggest compliment for me is that it’s Tom’s award,’ Slash said. ‘I really adored that man. I miss him very much, and that aspect is very special and resonates deeply. Additionally, I profoundly appreciate the implications of the award itself. It’s a fantastic honor.’

Read full article here.

I don’t know what’s funnier… That they said ‘Guns N’ Roses guitarist’ like he’s still in the band or that they referred to him as a ‘rock icon.’ Either way, I’m actually a big animal lover in spite of my hypocritical meat eating so kudos to Slash for this.
