Soundgarden reunion was a mistake

…says the band right now. Okay, they’re not really saying that, but misleading is my thing (something my math teacher learned the hard way). No, they’re not re-breaking apart, they’re just saying that the entire reunion thing happened as an accident, after Chris Cornell’s tweet was misunderstood.

“The 12 year break is over and school is back in session.”

Apparently, the tweet in question was about their online fan club and website getting a refresh, but people understood it as the band reuniting, and they’ve been so overwhelmed by the reactions they decided to do it fo’ real.

Okay, I’m not buying any of this, but for the naive folks out there, isn’t this just cute? I suggest you also check out this book called Bible, and a website called Facebook, which totally doesn’t sell your private information to spam advertising companies. Dose of Metal, to protect and serve metal.

Weak Recap: We’re amazing

This is our fifth Weak Recap, which means we ran out of writers to interview so I’m back interviewing Guido. God dammit. At least old man river up there approves.

In case you aren’t familiar with this recap thing, it’s a way for us to whore ourselves interview each other by recapping the week’s news. Pretty cool, right? Wrong… It’s lame and self-indulgent but hey, at least it’s original. Most other sites just do basic lists. Blah, we do shit properly, yo.

Make the jump and if you’re truly bored.

Duff isn’t rich

Don’t believe everything you hear. Former Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan isn’t rich.

“Yeah, I’ve been very fortunate. But rich? People make huge assumptions about the guys in GNR. They think I’m fucking rolling in it. But trust me, you don’t have any idea what I make.“

Read full interview here.

I have one question… Who makes these assumptions? I never thought many bassists were ‘rolling in it’ and certainly not Duffy. Not even in the GNR days, let alone now. I do have an idea what he makes:  not much.

Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate his honesty, but it’s like me saying “Yeah, in spite of popular belief, I am not that amazing in bed… Just moderately amazing.”

Young kids and instruments

This 11 year old decided to take a dump on pay tribute to Randy Rhoads’ legacy by covering his famous ‘Crazy Train’ solo. The result? Awful.

Is he doing tapping with his middle finger or is he flipping us off? This is sloppier than a $5 hooker’s blowjob. I’m sorry.

My rating:

This video is 3 years old though. Make the jump to see the same kid performing it again, in 2010.

QOTSA perform on Conan

Queens Of The Stone Age performed on Conan Thursday night… Well, not literally on Conan, just on his show. Wow, look at you horny little fuckers immediately assuming I was talking about sex. Get some help, Jesus… You’re sick.

Anyway, make the jump to see them playing “If Only” on the ridiculously hideous Team Coco player. We need our own damn player up in this biatch.
