Gallows to play Grey Britain

The Gallows have recently announced a very special show for this December, in which they will be performing their Grey Britain album in its entirety, in Grey Britain. Isn’t that clever? Playing the album that pisses and moans about Great Britain, in Great Britain? Genius!

Of course, the band titled the album Grey Britain. Because Great Britain isn’t great is it? It’s kind of grey. Especially with all that rain and cloud. Aren’t the Gallows clever? Such a thought provoking band. I heard that a small child was seen crying in “some third world country”, not because of their lack of clean water, but because news had travelled to them, that Great Britain isn’t too “great” at the moment.

Beer is Ace

Incase you need proof that beer is awesome (why the hell would you need proof?), Apparently Motorhead frontman and all round legend, Lemmy, has re-recorded the band’s classic “Ace Of Spades” song at half the tempo as a blues number so that it can be used in a beer commercial for Kronenbourg 1664. The new version of the track will air this Sunday in the U.K.

I’d watch it, but I’ll probably be drunk and passed out in a ditch that day. Read more here.

Man hates Breasts

I know right? Madness! Who hates breasts? But it’s true…

According to an article on Blabbermouth, a father of a five-year-old child is fuming after McDonald’s management’s refused to switch television stations when when the uncensored version of Alice Cooper‘s “Poison” video — featuring a woman exposing her breasts — aired at its store in Wodonga, Victoria, Australia.

Despite the fact it probably wasn’t long since the child was sucking on its mummy’s tit, the man was still outraged. If I were him, I’d be greatful they weren’t playing some Lady Gaga or Jay Z crap. Oh and that I was finally able to see some breasts.

The child was asked to comment, but apparently was unavailable after the trauma, stress and confusion of seeing naked breasts had caused them to spontaneously combust. It wasn’t caused by the quality food served at McDonald’s at all.

Anthrax haven't forgotten about S.O.D.

Who remembers the Stormtroopers of Death? S.O.D. were one of the most influential Crossover Thrash bands of the mid-80’s. The band consisted of Scott Ian and Charlie Benante of Anthrax, Dan Lilker of Nuclear Assault and formerly of Anthrax, too and some completely untalented, racist fat guy called Billy Milano.

Recently Ian and Benante proved that they haven’t forgotten about S.O.D. when they performered the band’s classic ‘Milk’ during soundcheck, at their current tour with Slayer and Megadeth, with Megadeth’s Shawn Drover and Anthrax bassist Frankie Bello.
