Lars Ulrich expressed his love for U2, that he is a huge fan of Bono and the guys. He told a UK newspaper that his dream is for Metallica to share a same bill with U2.

As a huge fan of both of these bands, I’d pay to see that.
Maybe Metallica and U2 sharing the stage will actually happen when U2 releases their new album in 2009.
Keep your fingers crossed for this one!

Ted Nugent is not the only famous person that gave Sarah Palin the thumbs up. Sylvester Stallone likes her as well. Stallone is a McCain supporter as Sly already endorsed McCain once a long time ago.
This isn’t why I’m a McCain/Palin supporter because Sly is, I just know that McCain/Palin are the right people to run our country.

Metallica will be on the cover of the next Rollingstone and Guitar World magazine with interviews in both magazines. Metallica is taking over the music industry again as I already started seeing the band on the cover on almost every music magazine when you walk into a bookstore.
A lot of people would think James Hetfield formed Metallica and he is the main leader of the band, but the truth is, Metallica is actually Lars’s band. Lars was the one that recruited James and Dave Mustaine ’cause he wanted to form a band, and Lars was the one who came up with the band name, Metallica. He had the band name already in him long before Lars formed Metallica. Metallica is very much Lars creation, James is just a songwriter and singer of the band.
Metallica is back, and metal is back as well. Stay metal. Metallica will not be the only band to take over the music industry, keep in mind that Ac/Dc, Aerosmith, U2, and maybe Guns N’ Roses will all be coming out with new albums, so rock is finally making a comeback. YES!! Kill pop and country music!

The horror movie industry seems to run out of ideas of original work. I’m sick of the horror film remakes. When will we ever get something original?

For you musicians out there like myself, Guitar World revealed the gear that Metallica currently uses for their live shows and I’m sure they use this stuff in studio for “Death Magnetic” as well.
Think Kirk Hammett likes to use all this high tech and really pricey gear? Well, looking at Hammett’s setup, it looks to me it’s pretty simple and basic. He has said in interviews many times, he likes to use simple gear settings and he also said he doesn’t use many effects. And looking at this, it’s the truth, it looks as though, Hammett doesn’t use too many pedals. He said he always used the Ibanez Tubescreamer all the time, it is his favorite pedal, I believe.
Hetfield uses all kinds of effects which is understandable since he is a rhythym player.

I picked up “Death Magnetic” today and I’m probably gonna be listening to it quite a lot.

Dave Grohl has announced to BBC Radio that he and the Foo Fighters will soon take a long break and hiatus from the music business.
Dave explains that after doing the amazing and tight Wembley Stadium show which he calls the best damn show in the band’s career (I agree), he says the band played for everybody in that show and that’s when he realized it’s time to hang it up for a while.
The Foo Fighters had quite a busy and tough career, indeed. Their last three albums, “One By One”, “In Your Honor” (which is a two disc CD set), and “Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace” their newest release were all released in a very quick period of time.
The Foo Fighters are an incredible band, they are one of my favorites in today’s industry and I feel that their break is well deserved and needed.

Thanks for the great music, Foos. The boys will be back with more great stuff in the future!

So Lindsay Lohan endorses Barack Obama in her myspace page and says she’ll help Obama campaign, but what does she get in return? The Obama camp shoots her right down and says they don’t want to work with a negative person. John McCain steps right in and says Obama shouldn’t turn her down like that. McCain calls Obama out for turning her down when Obama supports unrepentant terrorists and convicted felons.
More on it here:

Once again, McCain is the right here. If you don’t know who Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko are, google ’em up. Those guys are worse than Lindsay Lohan and both of them worked for Obama.
Obama continues to be a douchebag while McCain continues to be a realist. A good one that is.

There may be a lot of celebrities trashing Sarah Palin these days, but there is one celebrity that likes her and supports the Alaska governor, that is the iconic rocker Ted Nugent. The Nuge expressed his support for the vice president hopeful by making her the first on the list to get his new book titled “Ted, White, and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto”.
Blabbermouth reports:

Ted Nugent has always been my favorite guitarist and he writes badass songs as well.
Good to see the Nuge on the Palin/McCain side.

Nicole Kidman is confirmed to star in and produce an action adventure archeological film titled “The Eigth Wonder”. It’s about an archeological discovery that sets off in a globe-spanning race. Look like the film is aiming to be similar to the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider movies.
Reuters reports:

Sounds like another stinker and a bomber coming for Nicole. Come on Nicole, start choosing some better roles!!!!!! I’m not even interested in seeing “Australia” either.
