2009 Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest Rumors And Gigantour Facts?

Scott — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 21:00:09 +0000

If these rumors of the bands tapped for the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest prove true, it should be a good show ti hit up this year. Unfortunately it has been confirmed that Dave Mustaine is losing his mind and Gigantour will never be the same. Metalunderground.com “Confirms” two Gigantour 2009 bands.

It’s rumored that a few bands on the 2009 Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest roster may be Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Trivium and Behemoth. Not to bad to start with if these rumors are true. We’ll have to wait and see.

The scrap metal report this morning said that Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine might be on 2009’s Gigantour. Metal Underground “Confirmed” that the rumors are true and those are only two bands to be on that tour. I really don;t know what Dave Mustaine is trying to prove with those bands on tour. Maybe he’s trying to attract a different crowd to Megadeth or maybe he’s trying to boost ticket sales. I’ll keep you updated on this because I’d like to hear Dave’s reasoning behind this.. Who’s next, Fall Out Boy?

Avenged Sevenfold Cancels Remaining U.S. Tour Dates. God Does Exist!

Scott — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:47:10 +0000

And on the 1,321,684,943,251,684 day God decided that the ‘States heard enough Avenged Sevenfold for the year.

Avenged Sevenfold has canceled their remaining U.S. tour, citing problems with M. Shadows vocals. Fortunately for him and not us, they say they can continue the tour, starting in Japan in October. Shadows stated:

“I feel as if I’m letting so many people down, especially the fans we were supposed to see this month, but after a little rest it’ll be back to the usual craziness everyone expects of A7X. All of us are so excited about going out with BUCKCHERRY in November; our fans will love them as well as SHINEDOWN and SAVING ABEL.”

on another note for the fans of A7X, they recently released their live DVD Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough, filmed back on April 7th in Long Beach California during the Taste Of Chaos tour.

This Is An Atrocity! Avenged Sevenfold Cover Pantera’s Walk

Scott — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:18:08 +0000

Avenged Sevenfold doing a “Cover” of Pantera’s Walk with some fan that got on stage. Pretty ballsy for someone to get onstage but this song has been covered by more bands that are unworthy in the past and this just adds to that growing list.

On an episode of Talking Metal on Fuse, the Talking Metal guys along with members of In This Moment did a cover of I’m Broken, another great Pantera tune. I don’t know the singers name, nor do I care because I can’t stand her voice, but everything sounded great…except HER!. The back up singer did a better job singing it than her. Anyway, below is A7X doing the cover of Walk. Makes me want to gag. Enjoy?

If You’re Going To Wacken Open Air…

Scott — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:25:08 +0000

It looks as if the great people at this year’s Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany have thought things through and they don’t want anyone to miss out on all the really good bands due to Bathroom and concession visits. They have added Avenged Sevenfold to the line up so you have some time to go empty your bowels and bladders and get refills of your favorite German beers while you attend.

Metal Resolutions | Don’t Hold Your Breath!

Scott — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 05:00:11 +0000

Once again it’s theme day at the b5 Media channel and todays theme is Resolutions made by Bands/Stars that will probably be broken. I contacted a publicist for each of the following Bands and/or Stars and asked them if their clients had made any new years resolutions. Here is was they told me!

Zakk Wylde
Resolves to start taking a shower at least once a week, and once a month when touring.

Sebastian Bach
resolved to stop trying to sell us a shitty record and pry his lips off of Axl’s ass.

(~~Secret Lovers, that’s what we are~~)

Axl Rose
resolves to stop talking about Chinese Democracy and just release the damn thing so we can all be disappointed already!

Metallica
resolves to record a good album…maybe they’ll actually keep good with this one?

Kerry King
resolves to start attending church.

Avenged Sevenfold
resolve to stop calling themselves metal and stop wearing so much eye liner. Punk sucks and glam’s not coming back so make up your mind and STFU!

Brett Michaels
resolves to stop dated skeavy whores on national television in hopes of finding a “Good Woman”.

Dez Fafara
Resolves to stop making himself look stupid by trying to sound even remotely intelligent.

Tommy Lee
resolves to stop making a mockery of himself and the band that he built a legacy on.

Gene Simmons
resolves to stop plastering his painted face all over everything from tube socks to tampons and selling them for outrageous prices!

And lastly, Dave Mustaine
resolves to stop spelling “cool” as “kewl”.

(Note: If you really believe that I contacted any of the aboves publicists…please take a moment to beat yourself about the head and neck until consciousness subsides.)
