Fired Anthrax singer fires back

Old Anthrax singer, Dan Nelson, has slammed the band for their performance of “new” song, Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t, with new old Anthrax singer, Joey Belladonna. Confused? Yeah we all are when it comes to this band and their singers.

The original version of the song was written and recorded last year, with Dan Nelson on vocals. After he left, or quit, or was fired, the band still used the song, performing it for the “first” time (with Joey) last night (click)

Writing via his Twitter profile guitarist Scott Ian stated about the Uniondale concert, “NY show didn’t disappoint. Craziest pit of the tour! We played new one ‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ for the first time in the States.”

A short time later, Nelson took to his own Twitter profile to correct Ian, writing:

“‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ for the first time in the States, eh?? Wouldn’t that be at the Double Door in Chicago when we played the song WE ALL wrote together?? I guess Chicago is no longer in the States??”

Review: Bring Me The Horizon – There is a Hell…

There is a Hell, believe me I’ve seen it, and it’s called Bring Me The Horizon. But, believe me that’s where the jokes end. Fashioncore, you know the score right? Well, maybe not. People expect me to poke fun at Bring Me The Horizon, maybe make a few “I didn’t know this band consists of women” jokes, and generally rip the piss out of them. Prepare to be disappointed though, because a bad album, TIAHBMISITIAHLKIAS (wow, abbreviating the stupidly long title, makes it look even more stupid) is not.

I’m always objective. Let’s get one thing straight, I don’t hate bands, I hate shit music. There is a difference. I saw Bring Me The Horizon live about 4 or 5 years ago, and they were shit. Their music was shit. Therefore, I mocked them. The band, however, have undoubtedly grown since then.

So without further ado, I present my review of Bring Me The Horizon’s latest offering, There is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There is a Heaven, Let’s Keep it a Secret.

Guns N' Roses to play Israel

No, not the guys above. The guys that look and sound completely different, but seem to share the same name. I would post a picture of them, but they have like 25 recurring members, and fuck knows who any of them are.

Guns N’ Roses haven’t performed in Israel in 17 years. Although Israel won’t be seeing the band again any time soon, they will soon be “fortunate” enough to witness the shambolic performance of Axl Rose‘s band, that by coincidence happens to share the same name. Hey, they may not have Slash, but they do have like 3 guitarists taking over his role.

According to Ynetnews, Guns N’ Roses will perform two shows in Israel at the end of the year, on December 18 and 19 at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv.

XYZ to film an "80's" live DVD

If you’re anything like me, you’ve never heard of the “3-D” band XYZ. And if you’re anything like me, you’re not much of a fan of the 80’s (the aesthetics, to be clear… just look at that photo). So, if you shared my opinion both times, you might as well not read the rest of these news.

’80s rockers XYZ return to Denver after a 17-year absence to play the legendary club Bangles on Friday, October 22. In what promises to be an amazing night, the band has decided to document the evening.

“We will shoot a live DVD and record a live CD that night. XYZ live in Denver. So it’s simple. In order to be ‘in’ that night, you will have to dress up totally ’80’s. It should be a lot of fun. Girls, mini-skirts and white pumps. Guys, well, I don’t know… Hide your beer guts, ha ha”.

Ha ha indeed. Anyway, if they don’t use this unique opportunity of bringing back the 80’s and film the show in 3D, they’ve failed their generation. And this one. More info here.

New Anthrax song

Anthrax, the band who never really knows who their vocalist is, performed a new song live, apparently with Joey Belladonna.

The song is called “Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t,” but don’t be fooled by the Lil’ Waynesque title, it’s still Anthrax… I think…Anyway, the song has been played live before, but not with Joey. I already have a headache trying to figure this out, so do you see what I mean?
