I am so serious right now. Combine this with the fact that we have the elderly blasting Iron Maiden at people this week, and maybe we should just realize we shouldn't fuck with old people.

Note to self: Never mess with Rebecca McBrain, wife of Iron Maiden drummer Nicco McBrain or I might get stabbed with a lance.

Dragonforce are going to be recording their next record starting in May with good ol' Jens Bogren (who has been behind the board for Opeth, The Devil Townsend Project, Amon Amarth, Katatonia, Soilwork and Symphony X). Killer?

Wow, wow, wow! Iron Maiden sure know how to book a short tour. The band just announced a string of new tour dates for this September and they got quite the opening band, Megadeth.

We got a bunch of great viral videos and some new photo posts including Lars being too cozy with his Metallica bandmates and rock stars without teeth! Here are [...]
