“Guitar Hero: Metallica” is every metal heads dream!!!! OMG, the game is amazing!!!

Leave a comment

Today, I just went through all the songs in the “Easy” mode in the “Quickplay” section, and I’m just speechless. This game fuckin’ blows my mind. I think this is indeed the best music video game out there. If you’re a huge fan of heavy metal like myself, you would love this. What I’m most impressed by this game is that Metallica has mostly their songs with Cliff Burton’s bass playing in them. This game has more of Burton’s bass playing than Rob and Jason’s. Which makes it kind of dissapointing that this game doesn’t have Cliff Burton as a character.

This game is a must have for all metal heads. It’s the most fun Guitar Hero game I ever played. Great job James and Lars!

Tonight’s performances for the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” ceremony are being rehearsed right now as you read this, and the surprise, super star jams are already being planned out.

Billboard reports that Flea and Jimmy Page will jam along to “The Train Kept a Rolling” and “Jailhouse Rock” which will close the show for the night. Special guest performers for those songs will be…Wanda Jackson, Ron Wood, Jeff Beck, Bobby Womack, Lil Anthony and the Imperials, and Paul Shaffer (famed keyboardist from the David Letterman show).

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

Leave a comment

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.

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!!!

Leave a comment

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.

Variety Reports:

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…

Leave a comment

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…

Leave a comment

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…

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.
