Katatonia vs. Thieves
Katatonia, the band named after a lollipop flavor, had some bad luck. Their guitars got stolen.
“Unfortunately the gig reached an all-time low. Two of our guitars got stolen (including the straps and the wireless transmitters), obviously causing performance difficulties, frustration and anger.“
It’s not all bad, though. They had a competition where you could win a guitar and some pickups. Alex has a solution. Enter that competition, win the gear, continue touring.
Dimmu Borgir join Korn on tour
Pretend Black Metal band, Dimmu Borgir, have joined pretend Alternative Metal band, Korn, on their European tour. The tour kicked off yesterday, at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam.
When asked why the hell Dimmu would tour with Korn, the vocalist responded “which better pretend Metal band to tour with, than the kings of fake Metal? Plus the money is good“ – Actually, they didn’t say that at all. They tried to keep their ultra “cool” Black Metal image by claiming they don’t like Korn, but respect them (or some crap).
When Korn were asked to comment, JD responded “we don’t like Dimmu Borgir, but we’re hoping to ask them for some make-up tips”

Let's play pretend
I’m gonna pretend I actually know who Fozzy are, you’re gonna pretend you actually care that they’re going on tour in Australia. This is fun.
James Hetfield is richer than you
Do you want to feel bad about yourself? Well, then watch a video of James Hetfield talking about how much money he has and how he likes flying around in his jet on Blabbermouth.
When asked for comment about Metallica‘s latest crap fest ‘Death Magnetic’, Jaymz replied “Who cares? I’m rich, bitch!”.
Play guitar like Mustaine
If you ever wanted to be like Dave Mustaine, you’re in luck. A guitar tab book transcribing Megadave‘s “Endgame” album is out and you can buy it here.
Of course, learning to play guitar like Dave is not enough, so the book “How to be jealous of Metallica and use their name to promote your own releases” will be out soon, too.
