Gary Moore’s last hours

It’s an unfair life for people who appreciate guitar playing. Dimebag dead. Gary Moore dead. Brad Delson alive.

But whilst I did steal a joke from Chris Rock, I can’t joke about this any further. I loved Gary Moore‘s playing and “Still Got The Blues” is one of my favorite guitar performances ever. I’m glad I got to see him live last summer and I hope his music will live on to be heard by others.

I’m posting an article about QOTSA after this so I’ll have a lot of ginger jokes to make up for this serious post.

R.I.P. Gary Moore.

Video of the Week: Amon Amarth

Hooray, I got another category to torture you people with my favorite shit! Just like my other collumn, Weekly Dose of Metal, Video of the Week is a collumn to show you stuff you might not know about just yet. Instead of just posting songs, this one concentrates on music videos though. It will not only feature music videos but also live videos, which are videos with music, too, so they’re music videos to me!

As you can see, I chose a rather well known band for my first post though. There’s a simple reason for that: Amon Amarth own and ‘Guardians of Asgaard’ is not only one of my favorite songs off ‘Twilight of the Thunder God,’ but also has a metal-as-fuck video for it. The song and video features Lars Göran Petrov, frontman of Entombed.

Dose of Love

So tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and you know what that means? That’s right, it’s the day I get to watch porn all by myself, all day. Wait… I do that every day.

So ok, Valentine’s day kind of sucks. If you’re single, you get it completely rubbed in your face all day long. If you’re in a relationship, you’re expected to actually pull of some fantastic shit to impress your partner, when actually, you’d rather be down the pub getting drunk with your mates. And then there’s the problems of when you’re in a relationship, but you’re not quite at that stage yet where you know what you to do for Valentine’s day. Do you just do nothing? Send a card? All go all out?

Fuck off, who cares? All I know if I love listening to some fantastic Metal music, regardless of what day it is. So let’s have some slightly Valentine’s day inspired Metal doses today. Don’t worry, you’re not going to get any Linkin Park crap here, I’m still going to be offering some real Metal, it’s just Metal songs about love.

Find out what I mean after the jump. You know you need your Metal dosage.

10 Metal genres in 3 minutes

Ever wondered what 10 sub-genres of Metal would sound like if they were all crammed together in just one, 3 minute original Metal track? No me neither, but the results are pretty damn nice if you ask me. It’s like having midget, mature,  teen, asian, soft hardcore pr0n all combined into one film. One word… Epic.

Well ok, I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s still a fairly interesting piece of music. The track is an original composition and combines everything from Thrash to Death, to Metalcore to Black Metal. And thankfully, the creator was nice enough to omit Nu-Metal.  The intro reminds me of Skid Row‘s Youth Gone Wild, but don’t worry, it improves after that.

1,000th post!

We would like to inform you guys that this is our 1,000th post. What? That little? Well, we’re kinda lazy, plus we started this site 5 months ago so yeah, it’s not a bad number. What are you, my mother? Stop judging me.

Thanks to everyone who reads our site and fuck everyone who doesn’t.

Have a nice weekend, fuckers.
