Les Clayphreak
Les Claypool auditioned for Metallica in ’86, but didn’t get the gig (obviously). In an interview on “Behind The Music,” James Hetfield said the reason was that Les was too good and had to ‘do his own thing.’
But now, the mystery nobody gave a crap about has been solved in a recent interview. The real reason was… THEY THOUGHT HE WAS TEH FREAK!111
“I mean James said on VH1 Behind the Music that I was just too good, but ah, he and I were hanging out quite a bit during that time when they did the VH1 interview. And I said, ‘What the hell are you guys talking about, you didn’t want me, you thought I was a freak!’ And he just laughed.“ said Les while crying…
I mean, for fuck’s sake… Les Claypool? A freak? Nooooo way… No freaking way… Why would you say that? I mean, look at the photo above, does that look like a freak to you? Come on!!! No… Just, no… Bullshit James, bullshit.
When asked what his reaction was back in ’86, Les answered “I know you are but what am I?”
Seth Putnam looks good naked
In case any of you have no idea, Seth Putnam is an artist that has come up with some of the best song titles/lyrics of all time. He is best known as the singer of grindcore band A.C. A.C is not the actual name, it’s just we at doseofmetal absolutely refuse to use the “C” word.
Seth Putnam is back in the news, yet again. To be fair, nothing Seth Putnam does anymore should be considered shocking.

Robert Plant interviewed
Robert Plant was recently interviewed by “Legends of Classic Rock”. I’m pretty sure that’s a radio station, but to be honest, I don’t really care. I’m not a middle-aged man going through the male menopause, with a sudden interest in old washed-up has-beens.
In defence of Plant though, at least he’s doing what he wants to do, instead of selling himself out for a Led Zeppelin reunion. It’s just a shame the only thing people are interested in, with regards to his music, is a Zeppelin reunion. Apart from me, because I don’t care for that either. Don’t get me wrong, the guys are legends and I love their music, but watching the band perform with zimmer frames, and tuned down by nearly an octave because Robert Plant can’t reach the high notes anymore, is hardly Rock and Roll.
Interview here.
Review: Rolo Tomassi – Cosmology
For fans of: The Dillinger Escape Plan / Mogwai / HORSE the Band / Iwrestledabearonce
Rolo Tomassi are a genuine forward thinking, euphoric and ambitious band always pushing the very boundaries of the Metal and Hardcore genres. Unlike a certain Nu-Metal band that like to produce synth pop albums and then call it “experimental” (I’ve heard it’s all the rage now), Rolo know how to create a true work of art. After witnessing an absolutely phenomenal set from this noisecore crew at this year’s Download festival, and loving their first album Hysterics, I was compelled to check out their latest offering, Cosmology.
Diplo produced Cosmology is the band’s second album, released in May this year after suffering delays. The wait was worth it though, and with Cosmology, Rolo Tomassi present a much greater and more rounded proposition than their debut. If you thought Hysterics was good, you are going to love this.
Without further ado, I present to you my review of Rolo Tomassi’s latest offering.
