Metal Injection

While I absolutely loved seeing Metallica perform two nights in a row at Orion a few weeks ago (you can see our video report here), more than one person I know questioned Lars' drumming ability, specifically when it came to the double-bass parts in songs like "One." While Lars is the reason many drummers got into metal [...]

Slayer's Dave Lombardo is out doing a ton of press for his side project Philm, and naturally talk of Slayer and the Big 4 always comes out. Here's a recent question he was asked by Greece's Metal Path:

Yesterday, Metalsucks ran a great article about Metallica that yet again makes me want to throw up. Apparently the most successful metal band can no longer live off of royalties alone anymore. Welcome to the 21st century! I almost feel like starting a slow clap.

Sometimes it really surprises me how fast the metal news cycle works. On Thursday we posted a story about Metallica's James Hetfield being asked about all this talk of a supergroup being formed with him, Lars Ulrich and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson. All the talk stemmed from Mustaine constantly in the media mentioning [...]

We love talking about Dave Mustaine, and his many loony rants, so much so that we now have a whole section on the blog to talk about it. Now that Mustaine has made peace with his former bandmates in Metallica, he's stopped talking shit about them. On the contrary, he keeps talking to the media [...]

So I finally got a chance to listen to Lars Ulrich's full interview on the Howard Stern show last week (bootleg link here) and there were a lot of interesting morsels of information revealed in the interview. Besides calling Hulk Hogan a liar about auditioning for Metallica, Lars revealed that he once had sex with  three [...]

If you're a listener of our weekly Livecast, you know how much of a wrestling fan, neigh, mark that I am. I love reading all about all the behind the scenes happenings in wrestling, and the ultimate shocker in all my years of following it is just how much of a lying selfish prick Hulk [...]

I missed this last week because I was in Austin for SXSW, but my good buddy Axl at MetalSucks has uncovered a trailer for the new HBO Films movie, Hemingway & Gellhorn. We've known for quite a while that Lars was going to be in the movie, but now we can finally see him "act." [...]

Last week, we told you that the side project that Brendan Small has been working on forever, Galaktikon is almost ready to see the light of day. At the time, we only had a Facebook page to report on but today an official press release sheds more details on the album, AND confirms that a [...]

A few days ago, we posted a story with the headline Dave Mustaine has a Santorum fetish, where we quoted the Megadeth frontman saying that he is most certainly voting Republican, and of all the current nominees, he likes the guy who is so anti-gay, that gay rights activists recoined his last name to mean [...]

I guess they're not announcing their 3D movie after all. After all the hype has settled, Metallica will be headlining a two day festival in Atlantic City on June 23 & 24. It's happening at Bader Field. There will be 22 artists in addition to Metallica headlining both nights. Metallica promises to play The Black [...]

Metallica love giving quotes to the press hyping up their upcoming music. Remember when Lars said that Lulu,their collaboration with Lou Reed, would blow …And Justice For All out of the water? Yea, ridiculous. Now, they've gone and put their foots in their mouths again when describing what their next studio album will sound like. [...]

Well, here is the big 11/11/11 announcement, announced at 11:11am pacific time: the original Black Sabbath is back! The band announced (via the above video teaser) that they are recording a new album to be released next year, produced by Rick Rubin (I am not even going to bother listing his credits, you know who [...]

It's been a while since we've heard from former Metallica bassist, Jason Newstead. Really, the guy never has to work another day in his life. I'm sure the royalties from the Black Album are enough to not only allow him to live comfortably, but his children and grandchildren as well. But, the dude is a [...]

I'm pretty excited for this weekend because we are going to get to see Argonauts, the new band with Dave Witte and Dmitiri formerly of Dillinger Escape Plan. It's going to be an awesome time, because we'll all be packed into a venue that fits like 30 people. Anyway, here's what you may have missed [...]
