This time of year there is never a surplus of time for anyone. Besides the snail speed flow of report worthy metal news this week, time just hasn’t been on my side. To keep things short, here are some significant things that went on the Metal since Friday.

Machine Head’s Phil Demmel collapsed on stage again on Friday. This is the third time it’s happened and the second time it’s happened this year. Machine head has canceled the last tow shows on this leg of their tour and will be heading back top the states. Phil suffers from a rare …read more

It took a long time to get through, but I finally finished the new Lamb Of God Walk With Me in Hell DVD. If you liked the Killadelphia DVD then you will love Walk With Me In Hell. With a little less drama than Killadelphia, mainly because I think times have changed a bit. Either that or they just didn’t show as much because they just didn’t want all that on video this time. Oh well. I can always do without too much drama.
WWMIH shows an enormous amount of concert footage from arena headlining tour, Unholy Alliance tour, Ozfest …read more

Children of Bodom have become a new favorite of mine in the past few months from the first C.O.B. cd I bought, Hatecrew Deathroll. Since then I have bought every studio release and have seen how this band has evolved and love it. I never thought keyboards could sound so cool in a metal band until I started listening the Children Of Bodom. Anyway, below is one of three video interviews from Headbangers blog. To watch the other two click on the link at the bottom.

Headbangers Blog Children Of Bodom Interview

Children Of Bodom’s Upcoming release April 15th on Spinefarm Records has already gone gold and that’s just in pre-orders.  The Single “Blooddrunk” was a huge hit on the Finnish charts and I think it’s quite obvious that metal is more popular on a mainstream level in the Nordik countries.
You can still get your preorder Blooddrunk here. Which is kind of stupid because the presale says they ship on the 30th?

In the latest issue Of Revolver Magazine it had a pretty cool interview with some members of the Gigantour ‘08 crew. One thing they touched on was hecklers at the concerts. As we all know when you get a bunch of different bands onstage in one show you always have disrespectful concert goers heckling the bands they don’t like. The bands on this years Gigantour roster are Megadeth, Children Of Bodom, In Flames, High On Fire and Job For A Cowboy. The band members in the interview are Dave Mustaine, Alexi Laiho, Matt Pike, and Jonny Davy. Here are …read more

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Reflect on 2007:
“As we near the end of 2007 and my lovely Droogs Down Under celebrate 2008 already, we back here at the Mustaine House are reflecting on the last year. They are all laughing and joking and I have snuck off to make the last post of this year.
“Where do I start? With the excitement of the new record or the disappointment of the empty promises and failure to deliver at so many turns? The electricity of being on tour with young hot new bands and the atmosphere of things to come, or the drone of …read more

As the title says, Dave has posted an update on the Megadeth.com forums. Here is part of the interview, Click the link to read the full post.
“Droogies!
This is the last weekend I will be at my home until Thanksgiving. It was two Thanksgivings ago that my life felt upside down from the separation, and celebrating Thanksgiving alone in a hotel. Needless to say, I wanted to take the time today to put up all the ghosts and goblins around our house with the kids, because I am going to miss out on Halloween with them and All Saints Day, too. …read more

Dave Mustaine has issued this Gigantour update at the Gigantour.com website:
“Today is Monday and there is one week left before we leave for Alaska. We will come home after that for 16 days and then it is off to the Pac Rim, and eventually to Australia, to start this awesome line-up of Gigantour 2007 in Australia, better known as G.2007.OZ!

I have a busy weekend with my daughters 1st birthday so I’m going to try to squeeze in some news and not much more.
Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) has announced that they have been working on the line-up for Gigantour and are about halfway done.
A lot of crazy shit has been happening at and around Ozzfest this year, a few deaths at, leaving and going to Ozzfest, But the latest
