Dee Snider says Broadway is challenging

In fact, he says that his recent gig on Broadway (which we’ve previously covered) is the most challenging thing he’s ever done. We find that hard to believe, because his other gig (in Twisted Sister) looks like it takes a few hours of preparation and ten pounds of make up. Check out the interview after the jump.

P.S. I wonder if Dee‘s Halloween costume was his “no make-up” persona. And I wonder which one scared people more…

Sully Erna isn't a Kid Rock but an American Idol fan

To get you started; Kid Rock isn’t an American Idol fan, Steven Tyler isn’t a Kid Rock fan and Godsmack’s Sully Erna isn’t a Kid Rock fan but an American Idol fan.

What is this, Battle of the has-beens? If it is, I don’t think Erna qualifies for it because to become a has-been you have to have had a career of some sort. Bummer.

Anyhow, in response to Kid Rock’s comments, Erna said the following;

“Kid Rock needs to shut up. That’s not true. This is gonna be great for TV, man. It’s supposedly the right thing to do to is to rag on a show like that ’cause it’s so popular, and everybody that has a problem most of the time, they have a problem with something that’s really popular — it’s the envy/jealousy thing; I don’t know what it is. I’m not saying that’s what it is with Kid Rock, because I get along with him fine. But I have to disagree. I think it’s brilliant that Steven Tyler is gonna be one of the judges; I think it’s gonna be so good.”

And when asked what he thought about Tyler’s decision to be part of American Idol, he said:

“I think it’s brilliant. Beyond good. I think he’s gonna be the male Paula Abdul, ’cause he’s a little bit dingy, you know what I mean?! He’s probably all pilled up, and he’s gonna be funny. I mean, he’s witty, he’s really witty.”

Most interesting story of 2010… not. I wonder what Kid Rock has to say about it. Really, I do… not.

Paul Di'Anno is awesome

If you’re only going to read one book this year, I highly suggest it be “The Beast” from Paul Di’Anno.

I’ve only read bits and pieces thus far and so far worth the read.  Violent drunk stories… guns… cocaine… ridiculous amount of groupie sex… rim jobs… being an asshole to everyone… locked inside a U.S prison and so much more.  He does everything that a true rock and roll singer is suppose to do.

Click this link if you want to purchase the book.  It’s a perfect Christmas gift for a loved one.

Morgan Rose still kicking it

Back in the late 1990s, Morgan Rose was one of the most popular drummers in the Nu Metal genre.   Besides being all over the drum magazines and marrying the chick from Coal Chamber, Sevendust actually did pretty decent with sales for their first couple albums.

Anyway, Morgan Rose recently did an interview with Away Team.  He talks about everything, including drumming with Motley Crue and being excited having Clint Lowery back in the band.

The end of all weeks to come

So, first week of November and we’ve been busier than Corey Taylor in a Victoria’s Secret shop.

What have we done? Well, I don’t know… We just interviewed Peavy of Rage.
And we’ve mini-reviewed the Big Four DVD.
We also made a Top 10 of the most pretentious videos.
We introduced you to Mordax.
We told you about Metallica’s private corporate gig.
We made fun of Head’s head injury.
And we scared the living shit out of you by showing Corey’s drag costume.

What will we do next week? We’ll simply just be even more amazing than usual (yes, it’s possible).
