Tuesday Trivia: The most fucked up

I’m taking over. For this week only, I’m taking over Simo’s Tuesday Trivia to cover the most fucked up man in the history of Rock, GG Allin. Varg Vikernes, Niklas Kvarforth and Marilyn Manson (ha!) have nothing on this guy.

I need to inform you first that some of the content after the jump is not safe for work so do yourself a favor and read this when you’re at home, preferably when children aren’t around.

Cannibal Corpse DVD previews

Even though the image above suggests otherwise, George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher does have a face. It would be pretty awesome if Cannibal Corpse were so brutal that they melted their vocalists face though.

Cannibal Corpse are going to release a new DVD on March 15 and to get their fans hot for the release, uploaded four video previews. Watch three of the four previews after the jump, as the 3rd one isn’t available at the moment.

Tom Araya health update

Sandra Araya, Tom Araya’s wife, has issued an update on Tom’s health issues that led to a hospitalization and a cancelation of a concert in Sydney, Australia. We originally reported about it yesterday.

On Facebook, Mrs. Slayer posted the following update:

“TOM’S HEALTH… He was suffering from VERTIGO due to EXTREME DEHYDRATION – AND LACK OF REST!  Our Doctor is in the process of getting the results on the test that were ran (major time zone difference and being the weekend has held up those results) Hopefully there will be nothing more to add after the results are returned.”

So, it doesn’t sound that bad. Someone needs to drink a beer more often!

Spotlight: Cause For Revelation, Falling Anvils, Ratzinger

Spotlight on, we’re covering artists who turned to us via our ‘Your Band’ form. If you’re in a band and want us to cover you for a review or an interview, go here. These following bands have contacted us for reviews of their latest works. Let’s get right into it after the jump.

Rob Arnold joins Six Feet Under

We speculated, we reported rumors and now it’s official: Rob Arnold of Chimaira joins Six Feet Under as rhythm guitarist.

Six Feet Under vocalist Chris Barnes commented on this addition as follows:

“I couldn’t be happier about the new songs and line up! Rob and myself have been collaborating on new songs along with the bands new drummer, Kevin Talley for the past few months. We are all feeling really excited about the bands future, and the raw intensity of the songs that we have created together so far. THIS IS THE HEAVIEST MOST EXCITING MATERIAL THAT IVE WORKED ON SINCE THE BLEEDING, AND IM STOKED THAT ROB WILL BE HELPING OUT CREATING THIS CD WITH US! we’ve all known each other for a while and we’re really looking forward to continue writing the new cd and future tours. We are committed to taking Six Feet Under to the next level of brutality!!!”

And Arnold himself said the following:

“Its been an amazing honor and opportunity to have been called upon by one of my biggest idols, Chris Barnes!! Six Feet Under and the Barnes era Cannibal stuff had enormous effects on me as a young musician, and still do to this day. In 1996, I was a kid in the front row screaming my head off to Lycanthropy and Torn to the Bone… And now here I am, being asked to play the songs on stage with the band! Dreams do come true!!! And the stuff we’ve been writing absolutely RIPS! Watch out!!”

I got to admit, I’m pretty excited about this and I can’t wait to hear the final product. Plus, finally someone who seems to love ‘Lycanthropy’ (off Six Feet Under’s debut album ‘Haunted’) as much as I do. Watch live footage of said song with SFU’s original line-up, featuring former Obituary guitarist Allen West, after the jump.
