Metal Shavings 8/29
August 29, 2007 by Scott
Welcome to the last Metal Shavings for August. It’s been a busy and hectic month for me and I hope everyone had a great summer as we start to roll out the fall welcome mat. Lets get to the news:
Glenn Danzig will be heading out to do some U.S. shows this fall and has just wrapped up production on the debut recording of Misfits Guitarist Doyle’s band Gorgeous Frankenstein. Not sure what to make of these guys yet. Glenn does not have any planes of rejoining his former misfits counterparts and has just recently released The Lost Tracks Of Danzig.
Nikki Sixx is getting way more media than he deserves.
Ozzfest has received so much bad media this year and not just because it was free. From deaths, to underage drinking to officers getting hurt. I don’t know what to make of it or why this year its getting so much bad media. Not only does it make the concert look bad but also the Heavy Metal scene.
Dino Cazares new band Divine Heresy released its debut album Bleed The Fifth this week. I’m eager to hear it. If anyone has hear or bought this record let us know what you think!
Highschool Tributes will release a Metallica tribute. I’m not up on my knowledge of this Project but as far as I can tell its a collaboration of Canadian high school kids doing tribute tunes. They have already done two kiss tributes and will be releasing the Metallica Tribute “Teach ‘Em All” in April ‘08.
Speaking of Metallica, Blabbermouth has posted these video and new from Metallica at this location.
Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan…oh wait…I almost forgot this blog was for Metal Bands, not whiny jerk-offs like this guy!
Prong will be releasing their first studio album in 4 years on October 2, 2007 entitled “Power Of The Damager“. Better be good cause the title kinda corny!
The Hellacopters began mixing their new album and then realized how stupid their name was.
Classic Slayer Videos are now available for download here http://www.metalkult.com/
Well that’s all I got for today. Just a few days left in the month and I may take it easy this weekend and go against my better judgment and put my liver through an extensive challenge. CRANK IT UP FU**ERS!
I love reading your Metal Shavings! Some of the comments are just so hilariously true. Like the Smashing Pumpkins and The Helicopters. I mean..even though it’s a few months old at this point, they’re all still fun to read.
