Last week, a bunch of self-satisfied millionaires released an album called Dead Magnets or something, and in all the name-calling and fan-rage that ensued, I became so emotionally shattered after being called a "talentless hack" who should "go play Guitar Hero" that I was forced to delay a review for a release that was actually [...]
President-elect Barack Obama (FUCK YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!) has some tough challenges ahead of him, not the least of which being our deeply troubled economy. Today I learned of yet another victim of these hard times: Lars Ulrich. Yes, this economic crisis adversely affects even millionaires with platinum-selling new albums, a fact made painfully clear with the [...]

--- - "I don't know about all of you, but Metallica has been and will always be my favorite band in the whole world. I put down the trumpet and picked up the guitar for one reason: Metallica. When I used to draw comic books for 8 hours a day I never did it better while I [...]"- Metallica
I was definitely intrigued and a little trepidatious to read from our recently-posted interview Troy from Mastodon's explanation that their "new material is going to be more under the rock category", but when he mentioned Yes, King Crimson, and Zappa as examples, I realized that he means progressive rock more than hard rock. That was [...]~~
Vince Neilstein checking in to the MetalSucks Mansion here at 1:10pm Eastern Standard Time. Why so late, you ask? No, Axl and I didn't go on an all-night coke binge (though we did get hella high and listen to the new Slayer song last night), but I'm just getting in because I went to vote [...]
(Rolling Stone ballot filled out by James Hetfield of Metallica.) I just finished reading the latest issue of Rolling Stone (#1066/11.27.08) which has a cover story entitled "The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time." Not surprisingly, the metal contingent representation is dismal. Oh sure, they tapped several genre luminaries to place their votes including Ian Astbury, [...]
"That Was Just Your Life" is probably still my favorite track off of Death Magnetic, so I was excited to watch this footage of the band playing it live that was posted on Blabbermouth this morning. Unfortunately, not only is the footage shot incredibly poorly (nice vantage point from the 8 trillionth row right as the [...]

It was a mostly Metallica week here at the MS Mansion, but it turns out that some other stuff happened too. In summary: We re-christened the site MetallicaSucks.net for a day — all of our writers each reviewed Death Magnetic to varying praise (or lack thereof). God Forbid debuted a new song. We likee. You likee. Lars Ulrich [...]
Mixwit Is Dead People should start betting on the over/under for how long a mixtape website will last before getting pinched by the RIAA. If they do - they might already - always take the under. Radley and Mike of Mixwit sent out an email detailing their decision. Here's an exerpt: We regret to announce that Mixwit will [...]

In many ways, 2008 will be seen as The Year of the Old Fart. Of course, the big names that will be propped up by those who are blissfully unaware will be the longtime standard-bearers who shook off the dirt from their nearly submerged coffins: Metallica, AC/DC, and Guns 'N Roses. A closer look, however, [...]
