Oh the stories I have heard….
Bald
Britney Spears shaved her head – Great stuff. I love it. I would love to see her tattoo her face too. That would be incredible. She could join Tyler Fyre and the freak show. Congrats to Mr. Fyre – he just got married.
We just bought a house. Can you believe it? I have lived in city apartments for the last 15 years and now I am moving into a sweet ass house located 16 miles from Times Square.
Free Willy is dead.
Free the West Memphis Three. One of these guys could have been you or me. Get educated to what happen.
That 1st issue of the Dark Tower comic knocked my socks off. There has never been a fictional character I relate to more then Roland. King will be at Comic-Con… I hope to see him there. The Dark Tower saga has many strange coincidences with my “real” life… it is bizzare and somewhat scary. The 7 books really messed with my mind. I read them over a 18 year – 1988 to 2006… AND Now it is back in comic form.
Did you see that new laser comb? It helps you grow hair!!!!!???!!! I have lost a little up front but not too bad yet. If it gets worse, I will not be using the laser comb.
Audioslave is dead. I saw them live back 3 or 4 year ago and they were really good… although I must say I never loved any of their albums. I didn’t dislike them either. Chris has one of the greatest voices of our time. One of the greatest albums ever made is BadMotorFinger – Soundgarden.
It sucks that AC/DC are not on iTunes.
Monday’s Talking Metal episode will feature 2 great bands – In This Moment and Wolf.
Channel 24 on Sirius is now 90’s Grunge and Alt. Rock. Most of you peeps know me as a metal-head… and it is true that metal is my love and my roots… bloody roots, but I must admit, being in my 20’s in the 1990s was awesome. Great times and some of the best music ever made. Really. Yeah, I do dig Pavement and Dinsour Jr.
A toast to you… Barcardi Rum and diet coke.
Buy my band’s CD – Please!!!!! Ronin is on CD Baby HERE
I am currently reading a great book called “Sound Of The Beast – Heavy Metal” by Ian Christi – good stuff.
We know some of the links on Talkingmetal.com are not working and we are working on the problem. Thanks!
I love that song, “Bald” by the Darkness – put that on your iPod for sure.
Free MP3s by Wolf
I had a tough week. Life has its ups and downs. Sometimes “the downs” make you realize what is really important in life.
We had to cancel the Talking Metal Live show last Tuesday due to a personal emergency. I plan to air more of the Bumblefoot interview on the next live show. We recorded some extra stuff that hasn’t been heard yet with he and his wife when we hung out with them a few weeks ago. To clarify, Bumblefoot did use my Les Paul in his final recording session for the next Guns N Roses album. The sessions took place last month here in New York City. All his gear was out in California and he specifically needed a Les Paul for the album. I think we will post a picture from the session soon on Talking Metal.
I have been loading my iPod all day. I have so many CDs it is ridiculous. I am trying to be selective with what I put on it but its tough. Sometimes quantity is better then quality.
I am excited to check out the next Van Halen tour. Should be fun. Too bad about Michael Anthony.
There is a great metal band called Wolf that you have got to hear – download free cuts by them HERE.
