Some headlines, yo

Whitesnake (pictured above) have a new album in the works. It’s called “Forevermore” and David Coverdale had this to say about the title: “Don’t forget, ’tis ONE word.” It’s pretty hard not to forget that, David, as I don’t really care and neither does most of the world.

Joey Jordison is on the cover of Rhythm Magazine and you can get it here.  I know what you’re asking yourself: Should I get it? Well, aside from an in-depth look at his gear, Joey also talks about his many projects. In other words, no, no you shouldn’t.

The Damned Things‘ debut album sold 6,200 copies in the United States in the first week of release. It’s apparently #1 on the Top New Artist Albums chart which means out of all of the noobs, they’re the best selling. Not bad for a band with members of Fall Out Boy in it.

Pantera and Damageplan roadie John Graham tells his story working with Dime in both of his bands, as well as being a roommate with Vinnie and other stuff. Read interview here.

Krokus do charity

If there’s one thing I admire about artists, who make good money from their art, it’s when they spend said money on a good cause. There are more than enough people in this world less fortunate than me, and there are certainly a lot of people less fortunate than artists who make their money by doing something as banal as playing songs.

Swiss Hard Rock legends Krokus decided to support Switzerland’s charity event ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’ (eng. ‘Every Rappen counts,’ Rappen being the Swiss equivalent of a Cent).

Make the jump and read what Chris Von Rohr, Krokus bassist, had to say about this.

A*** C*** – F*****’ A details emerge

Had problems figuring out what the post title is about? Now you feel the same way that anyone who has ever tried to decipher an Anal Cunt song felt.

But, the really bad news is that the band have a new album called Fuckin’ A coming in January. Aren’t you just counting days for it to happen? Make the jump to see the tracklist and the album cover.

Motorhead guitarist is pissed

No, I don’t mean he’s drunk (although he probably is too), but Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell is incredibly pissed off. Why? Well it turns out that dear old Phil barely makes an appearance in Lemmy‘s film, entitled Lemmy. Now, if I had actually watched the film, I would know that, but what do you know? Seems I actually have some taste.

Bless poor Phil, he must have forgotten to check the name of the film… Find the full story here.
