Just got tickets to Metallica at the Times Union Center Nov. 12th!!! WOOT!!!

Just ordered my tickets to Metallica at the Times Union Center for their Nov. 12th show in Albany, so I’m definitely going. I actually found a friend to go with who is also a Metallica fan. Yep, as expected most of the tickets are gone already, the only seats I could find available was the first lower level.

Yep, it’s no surprise to me that this show could be a possible quick sell out as soon as it hit the 10:00 a.m. hour, and it’ll probably sell out in the next few minutes. Glad I got my tickets in time. Awesome. Getting psyched to see Metallica for the first time ever.

Songs I’m expecting the band to play at the Times Union gig…they’ll probably play several songs from their new album, “Death Magnetic” and of course, all their classics to help plug in their Guitar Hero game.

So I’m going to two concerts this year, Metallica at the Times Union and Phish at SPAC, getting psyched for both of them.

In other Metallica news, be sure to catch the band get inducted into the Hall of Fame tonight on Fuse TV. Those who don’t have FUSE TV channel on your cable box, you can watch the Hall of Fame on their website.

I’ll definitely be watching the Hall of Fame online tonight. I’m in a Metallica mood, so I’ll be playing their Guitar Hero game most of the afternoon probably.

Cool Video: Shane McMahon on TMZ…

WWE star and he’s also the company’s businessman behind the scenes of WWE, Shane McMahon gets caught by TMZ while walking the streets of NYC. This is Vince McMahon’s real life biological son.

Shane seems psyched and pumped up for Wrestlemania tomorrow night. Look at him, he definitely looks happy and upbeat, getting ready for Wrestlemania. So you know, Shane’s obviously going to be part of the action during the, “Triple H vs. Randy Orton” championship match.

BREAKING NEWS: FREDDY KRUEGER FOUND FOR “NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST.” REBOOT…WHO IS IT? CHECK HERE TO FIND OUT!!! OH MY!!!

Platinum Dunes and New Line has found their Freddy Krueger for their “Nightmare on Elm St.” reboot…and it is definitely not Billy Bob Thornton. The new Freddy Krueger taking over Robert Englund’s place is an actor named, Jackie Earle Haley.

Jackie Earle Haley starred in the recent, “Watchmen” movie where he played Rorschach, the character that wears the hat, mask and long coat.

Excellent choice! While I didn’t like the “Watchmen” movie, I loved the character that Jackie Earle played in it. The guy’s a great actor and I think he’ll make a great Freddy. Now I’m really looking forward to the “Nightmare” reboot! Bring it on!

Report: Dave Mustaine explains why he turned down the Hall of Fame invitation…

Megadeth’s main man, Dave Mustaine, reveals the real reason why he turned down the Rock Hall of Fame invitation. While the major Megadeth tour is part of the reason why he turned it down, he drops the bombshell that the main reason why he declined ’cause he also wanted to be inducted since he used to be a member of Metallica. I think Dave is making a lot of sense. I agree with him.

I love Metallica and all but the dudes leaving Mustaine out of the induction is pretty lame. He never played on a Metallica record but Dave was one of the first guitarists of the band. That’s a good enough reason that Dave deserves to be inducted with the band too, but I guess that’s what happens when James and Lars’s egos gets in the way.

Report: Run-DMC will NOT perform at Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame Saturday night…why? Read on to find out…

Run-DMC announced they will not perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow night. The reason? One of their members, DJ Jam Master Jay, was murdered in a shooting back in 2002. The other two surviving members, Run Simmons and DMC McDaniels made a vow they will never perform without DJ Jam. They still stick to that rule. However, Run and DMC will both participate in person to be inducted by Eminem.

Rollingstone reports:

That’s kind of too bad they won’t be performing, I was hoping they would but it’s understandable if they don’t want to do it under their friend’s death.

Eminem to perform on stage and cover a Run-DMC song? It’s possible…

Report: Madonna banned from adopting another child from Malawi…

Woah!!!! Madonna finally loses and doesn’t get away with something! Great news! A Malawi court rejected Madonna’s bid to adopt another child from there.

I applaud them! Madonna has taken enough kids from their families, she doesn’t need to do it anymore. She should be banned from adopting kids all over the world. Stupid bitch.

Cool Video: The Resident calls out myspace by showing herself deleting her account on video!!!

I’m sure those who are in youtube all the time, may find this youtuber vlogger, The Resident, familiar to you. She posted this funny video that she calls out myspace by deleting her account on a video. She has other videos bashing myspace.

I agree that myspace sucks so bad. I don’t even look at that site hardily at all that much, I have a personal account, but I barely ever use that as well.

Myspace is full of advertisements, spam, videos, stupid “poker games” and “gangster surveys” in peoples pages that I don’t give a fuck about, too many musicians in a delusional world thinking that myspace will make a name for themselves, myspace is full of delusional people thinking they are an internet celebrity because they are popular there, too many drama queens, I don’t listen to music in myspace much because there are advertisments that pop out of the player which is bullshit, there is just simply too many weird people in that fuckin’ site.

Myspace sucks, facebook sucks, twitter sucks…yes, most all social networking sites suck. The only places on the internet that I’ll be on a regular basis, are public blogs and youtube videos. I love blogs and youtube, I don’t do social networking sites much.

If you obsess with social networking sites too much and you spend too much time in them, then there is something wrong there that you maybe a little anti-social. If you rather waste time making friends with people you don’t even know when there should be better things for you to do, then you definitely have some kind of problems.

Myspace has gotten much worse, I see. It’s just as bad as craigslist.

The only time I look at myspace is to check out to see what a few Capital District musicians are up to and to chat with family members I have in myspace. I only listen to myspace bands only if a famous one I like uploads an entire album before release date.

I don’t know why musicians love that site so much when that site pretty much does nothing to your music. If you’re going to make your world revolve around in myspace, then I think you are in need of help. Social networking sites are a huge waste of time, period.
