Kid Rock ain't no nobody

Kid Rock will be recognized, yo!

Kid Rock will be recognized at the end of the first quarter of Friday’s home opener [Pistons] against Oklahoma City, commemorating his 21 sold-out concerts at the Palace and DTE Energy Music Theatre. The team will unveil his updated arena banner, which has hung from the rafters since January 2009.

The game also will include the debut of a “Born Free” music video integrating Kid’s song with concert clips and Pistons highlights.

To find out what the average attendee of a sold out Kid Rock concert sounds like, read the comments on his blog entry.

Dimebash footage

Dimebash footage surfaced, and it’s pretty awesome, just like myself. Which reminds me, I am insanely handsome.

Anyways, make the jump and witness something almost equally amazing.  A cover of ‘Fucking Hostile’ by Kerry King, Dave Lombardo, Rob Flynn and Mike Inez plus some other performances. Go!

Can you spare $1.5 mil?

If you do, donate exactly $75,000  to Dose of Metal, cause we bust our ass each day to provide you guys with news and lulz as we make no money off of this.

With the remaining $1.425 mil, buy Jimi Hendrix‘s house.

“Janie L. Hendrix has listed for sale a six-bedroom, 5.25-bath home at 15909 48th Ave. S. in Tukwila for $1.425 million. She is the sister of the late guitarist and singer-songwriter Jimi Hendrix, considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music. She also is the chief executive officer and president of Experience Hendrix LLC, and Authentic Hendrix LLC.“

So we don’t know if that’s Jimi‘s actual house or not, just that his stepsista’ is selling it. Well, that’s still something, I guess. You can donate to us first, then worry about whose house this is later.

Jimi Hendrix wasn’t available for comment.

Erna and Stapp make up!

Sully Erna of Godsmack fame got pissed off and called Creed‘s Scott Stapp names. Then he apologized. Now, the victim himself, Mr. Stapp, has nothing but love and respect for the guy. Pheew, I’m glad this publicity stunt fight is over.

“Sully,I have nothing but love, forgiveness & respect for you bro. Keep rocking & I look forward to catching your show in FL w/my son Jagger. Rock on“ said Stapp on Twitter.

Aww, it’s nice to see the kids kissing and making up in time for Halloween. Maybe they can go trick-or-treatin’ together. They could dress up as proper singers!

Iron Maiden is being cryptic

You know what that thing above is? It’s on Iron Maiden‘s official website. OMG!!!! A special announcement to be made this Tuesday. WOWSA!! What could it be, what could it be????

Well, did they really need to make such a big deal out of this since the rumors have been posted quite a while ago? I guess not, but good news for the people living in that area…
