Blast From The Past: AC/DC – Back in Black (1980)

AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’ has sold about 49 million copies worldwide to date. It’s the second best selling album of all time.

Who hasn’t spoken out about the album yet? Me, so read on after the jump.

Bloody wasps

Some deranged W.A.S.P. fan (oxymoron alert) bit the ear off some poor security guy at a W.A.S.P. C.O.N.C.E.R.T.

“A stage guard had part of his ear bitten off during a concert by US hard-rock legends W.A.S.P. in Örebro, Sweden on Friday after he was attacked by a drunk 40-year-old man.“

I felt horrible reading that. They called that band ‘legends’? My God, that is awful.

Saturday Headlines

Max Cavalera (pictured above)  of Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy and Sepultura (back when they were good) has been interviewed in Australia. Unfortunately, nobody asked him why he keeps a full beard if he can’t grow proper hair on his cheeks. Video after the jump.

Nightwish sounds like that awful Linkin Park / Jay Z album they did, only they took Pavarotti instead of that atrocious rapper. So I’m not excited that they’re recording a new album, and neither should you.

The hired musicians who pretend to be Guns N’ Roses are everything people hated about the original band, with none of their past qualities. Kind of like the opposite of Blade, if you know what I mean. Anyways, they keep coming late at each gig and now they’ll pay a $100,000 fine for playing past the London curfew. Awesome news.

Apparently there was a contest about playing poker with Godsmack. My guess is, the winner would avoid going to a Godsmack concert, the losers had to play poker with them. Video of the poor schmucks who lost, after the jump.

Blitzkritik: Mortiis – Perfectly Defect

Thanks to our wonderful editor Mark, yesterday we got to find out what’s going on with Mortiis.  Not that any of us cared, really. Besides the fact that frontman lost his goblin mask and the record label, it seems they’ve been busy releasing music for free via internet. Also, nowadays they look like they’ve spent an awful lot of time hanging out with Chilean miners.

Anyway, I was bored, it was free, and I decided to listen to it. Read on to find out if my experiment will be worth it, or will it be the musical equivalent of catching crabs.

Ratt drummer interview

I don’t know if you give a ratt’s ass or not but Ratt’s drummer just got interviewed by a guy named Neil “Zloz” Zlozower who sounds like a lawnmower manufacturer.

Video after the jump. We dare you not to punch the monitor during the intro of those two guys trying hard to be funny. $10 says you’ll go German geek all over your computer in the first 5 seconds.
