For some wierd reason I’ve been writing a lot about SlipKnot lately.It started out in a “not-so-good” way because I assmued SlipKnot were still heavily relying upon their “1997 image” which we grew out of when we were all 13 or 14.But with the release of “All hope is Gone” SlipKnot showed us that they [...]

OK,I know I haven’t been writing for the past four days.Been too busy with a band interview,preparations for an acoustic performance and my own lazy self!Whtaever.The good news is I am back.
Nothing feels better than seeing a lot of Motorhead in the news,when you haven’t been aware of what’s being happening lately in our better,louder,”fuck-you-if-you-are-not-part-of-it” [...]

Morotorhead’s new album Motorizer will be realsed late August/Early September folks.There’s nothing much to say about this than go all “Wow,Woohoo” but when its Mortorhead-it always wins a mention hear at Metal Cracker. The official track listing for the album is as follows.
01. (Teach You How To) Sing The Blues

Before anything-this man is a genius so let’s keep the discussion at a diplomatic and intelligent level. No fucking “pretty blonde boy” bullshit comments about this man please!
Ok-here goes-According to….um….BLABBERMOUTH-UK’s Zero Tolerance magazine featured an interview with Alexi Laiho from “EAT-A-COCK-IF-YOU-DON’T-KNOW-THE-BAND” in its March/April 2008 issue.Here’s a quick excerpt-
“First, we’ve been doing this shit since we were [...]

 
SlipKnot are in the process of delivering some major ass this time around.This is probably the sixth or seventh time I am writing about them here.There are breaking forward a lot from that “Side-Project” element that’s been haunting their music lately.Another single-”Psychosocial” (yes,I know it doesn’t sound very SlipKnotty compared to titles like “I am hated”) is [...]

In an earlier post I said that I was loving what I heard in the new SlipKnot single “All Hope is Gone”-got a few comments from two dudes who seemed to be in their early teens and touching weird places on their bodies-looking at Fred Durst’s pictures.They had also completely lost what I said but Hornet [...]

 
Ok ok ok!Forget St.Anger,forget Napster,forget their late “online missions” and SlipKnotty mystery images-this band did superb things and no matter what pompous shit you talk about-this band did more than your

shitty,unsigned,“underground” band and you know you looked upto these guys at some point in your pathetic lives and nodded your head!
Metallica celebrate their 25th anniversary [...]

Yeah there are signs of another Metal book already.This is becoming so very “Spinal tap!”,seriously!But what makes it ”Spinal Tap” actually is the fact that according to the author Timo Tolkki-former guitarist and vocalist of Stratovarius-the book “will include….the public stage pissing of Jens Johansson, stabbing and more. All backed by evidence, of course. I believe [...]
