Dave Grohl has got some of the coolest friends in the world. How do I know? Because they're all in his new documentary. Down below is the trailer for a doc called Sound City which was directed by the Foo Fighters frontman and focuses on Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, CA. The studio was shut down in 2011 but not before some of the biggest names in rock recorded some legendary albums including Nirvana's Nevermind . Grohl said of the studio, "That place was like a church. [...]

It's occasionally hard to tell whether we should cheer superstar wrestler Hulk Hogan as an unhinged eccentric or jeer him as a sideways freak who paws his own daughter on TV when not sweatily humping other half-nude guys on TV. Okay, shit, it's not that tough to call actually - especially when the Hulkster pops [...]

Metallica Beyond Magnetic Vertigo Records 30 January 2012 by Tom Doyle If we follow the chronology of that famous T-shirt , we appear to currently be in the "death" phase of Metallica's career. I recently took to these very pages to explain why Lulu was not the worst album of 2011 but [...]

Oh, Lars Ulrich, when will you ever learn? Metallica's drummer has a special talent for saying things that a) make no sense and b) will almost certainly piss off fans, if not the moment he says them, than sometime in the future, when they turn out to be not at all true. His latest verbal [...]

We know what you're thinking. It's songthing like "Wait, didn't you already do a Season's Bleedings for Malefice yesterday ? You're not about to tell us that you forgot to combine the two sets of answers into a single blog post, and now you're giving Tom Hynes one all to himself? You are? Oh." Right? Well, it's Christmas. Cut us some slack! -- What is your favourite Christmas song? Easily 'Fairytale of New York' by The Pogues. It's one of [...]

Hate is a train That thunders aimless through my head And hate is the fame Chained to the wheel until I'm dead And with these words, so begins "Hate Train," a previously unreleased song from the Death Magnetic sessions that the band performed last night as part of their four-night thirtieth anniversary celebration at the Fillmore [...]

Thanks to HunterMC for the LULZy pic. Three years ago we celebrated acknowledged the release of Metallica's Death Magnetic by re-christening MetalSucks as "MetallicaSucks" for the day, and asking the entire MS staff (and some our guest bloggers) to review the album. We did not wanna do that for Lulu, the new collaboration between Metallica [...]

When Some Kind of Monster came out, Jason Newsted suddenly surpassed Dave Mustaine to become #2 on the list of Most Popular Former Members of Metallica*, mostly because he made some pretty funny comments about how the whole Phil Towle/group therapy thing was bullshit - comments which, at the screening I attended, were met with [...]

Is Lulu just the world's greatest troll? Even if it wasn't, if I were a member of Loutallica, I'd probably start telling people that it is. It would really be the only logical explanation for anyone thinking that crap was listenable. And the below video suggests that at least one member of Metallica really might [...]

Lou Reed & Metallica aka Loutallica Lulu Vertigo Records 31 October 2011 by Hugh Platt The opening moments of Lulu certainly took me by surprise. Beginning with a surprisingly grandiose build-up, it's not long before the wild guitar work of the album opener, 'Hit The Lights', heralds the arrival of a group of musicians clearly headed for big things. Following [...]

Lars Ulrich has a history of saying really dumb shit to promote his latest really dumb endeavor, but his most recent brain fart may actually be his stinkiest one yet. See, back in 2003, before there even was a MetalSucks (unless you believe the kid I met at New York Comic Con this weekend who [...]

I don't know why anyone would trust anything Metallica has to say these days. Every time they have a new album coming out, they start smack their last album, which is doubly offensive. "St. Anger is gonna blow Load out of the water!" "Okay we know St. Anger sucked, but seriously, Death Magnetic is gonna be amazing!!!" All they're really doing is just continuously spitting [...]

We know Lars Ulrich is a troll in the vertical sense of the word, but also in the figurative U MAD?? sense too? In a recent circlejerk interview in RollingStone, all the players in this Lulu trainwreck were interviewed and Lars gave a choice quote to the magazine: On the phone, a few days after Lulu is ...

Loutallica, left to right: Rob Trujillo, Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lou Reed I said I was over it with this Metallicrap when we first heard a thirty second sample of "The View," the first single off their upcoming collaboration with Lou Reed, Lulu; I'm still over with it this Metallicrap. I have finally [...]

Wow. We've heard 30-second and 90-second snippets already, but now an entire song from the Lou Reed / Metallica collaboration (aka Loutallica) has made its way online. And...well....it's something all right. Sometimes you just have to stop dancing about architecture and let the music do the talking. Or, in the case of Loutallica, let Lou [...]

• Lou Reed & Metallica - The View

via WWTDD So much of this week ended up being devoted to the Big Four that I honestly don't wanna think about any of those bands again for at least the remainder of the year. So to wrap this shit up, here's everything Big Four-related we did this week: We live snarked the Big Four [...]

Late last night after getting back from the Big 4 show at Yankee Stadium, I just had to lookup the interview Lars Ulrich did with Howard Stern the day before. Howard Stern is to talk radio what Jimi Hendrix is to guitar. The man has turned the interview into an art form. The way he ...

I was just talking with a friend earlier this week about how much I miss Howard Stern. See, I used to walk up to his voice each and every morning while we were living together before he left me for that bitch Beth Ostrosky before he made the move to satellite radio, which, to this [...]

To help promote their upcoming tour, on October 11 Judas Priest will release The Chosen Few, their umpteenth career retrospective, and one which does not feature any new material. The Chosen Few does have a hook, though - I mean, beyond the fact that the band members appear on the cover only as silhouettes, I [...]
