Revolver Golden God Awards 2012

So, since I live on the east coast and the 2012 Revolver Magazine Golden God Awards were happening in LA, I stayed up just to watch it live thanks to Xbox. I didn't really care to hear who won the award for what, but I was more interested in the performances that were going to happen that night. I thought it was rather disappointing.

The first band up last night that I was able to catch was Trivium and I was disappointed because I missed Sixx AM. I don't have to say much about the band because I do not enjoy them or most of the artists on Roadrunner Records. They played their new single In Waves and I didn't realize they were playing a second song so I couldn't tell you what that song was called. It all sounded the same to me. I know that special on stage appearances occur all the time on this award show, so I was waiting to find out who they would bring out and it ended up being Rob Flynn from Machine Head and Corey Taylor of Slipknot. This was the only song I enjoyed because Matt Heafy was not singing and they did a cover of Metallica's Creeping Death.

The next performance that I had mixed emotions about was the Black Veil Brides performance and I say that because I am either hit or miss with their music. The part that shocked me was all the times the singer would look to the crowd and tell them, "I know you fucking hate me." I was a little baffled by it and I wanted to know more and I could see from the comments left on the Revolver page all the hate that was being directed towards them. Then, Andy the singer from BVB, went on to rant about how people refer to them as Emo faggots, etc. But I have to give him credit because he looked at the crowd and the camera and said that he didn't perform for the people that hate BVB, but for the fans of the band that showed up to watch. I'm not a big fan of the band but that has to do with the music and not the image of the band (even know they ripped off the Crue's Shout At The Devil outfits). One of the bands performances featured 80's icon Dee Snider of Twisted Sister as they covered I Wanna Rock and it was a decent performance.

The next performance belonged to a band that I wish would just die off and that is Evanescence. I have never been a big fan of the theirs and I felt they were really out of place on the bill. Will Hunt is an amazing drummer, but that doesn't keep me interested in wanting to watch.

Than, it was time to get heavy duty with some real bands and Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators were up and they absolutely rocked the house. The first song out of the gate was Nothing To Say (the version on Slash's first disc has M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold singing it). After that was done, the band performed the Myles track from the first solo disc, Back To Cali and the new track You're A Lie followed right afterwards. Their surprise guest was the legend Alice Cooper as they covered Alice's classic tune, School's Out.

The band that closed out the night was the legend Marilyn Manson and the crowd was pumped up to see him as I was as well. One of the highlights of the night was seeing one of the West Memphis Three come out to show his gratitude for all of the metal fans support. It was awesome to see Damien Echols introduce Marilyn Manson last night. Marilyn started with the Dope Show and it looked as like no was coming out to do it until the very sexy Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless (Manson's current Tour mates) came out to finish the song and get a little sexual with Marilyn. Right after that was done, they performed the brand new single, but the best part of the night came right after as the legend Johnny Depp came out and played guitar for Sweet Dreams and  The Beautiful People. Manson definitely stole the show with that special guest and I can not wait to see him on April 27 in Providence, RI.

Overall, it was a decent night, but I feel Revolver needs to find a brand new host for the show because Chris Jericho just isn't cutting it for me.

Vulgar Display Of Power 20 Years Later

On February 25, 2012, Pantera's second album Vulgar Display Of Power turned 20 years old. It was one of the most influential metal albums to come out of the 90's and is an album that is still revered in the Metal community. In my opinion, if your not a Pantera fan and you were looking for an album to get familiar with, this would most definitely be the one. The album was a definite game changer for me and it gave me a whole new perspective on the world of Metal.

The album features Iconic songs such as Walk, A New Level, This Love, Mouth For War, Fucking Hostile, and so many more great tracks. This to me was always one of the albums that you could listen to from beginning to end and you would never get tired of it.

On May 15, 2012, Rhino Entertainment will be releasing a 20th anniversary edition of the album with some goodies. The first disc will be the original album remastered with a special track that Vinny Paul found that was left over from the recording sessions called Piss. The second disc will be a live DVD that features Pantera performing most of the tracks from the album live with classic hits from their debut album. I am definitely excited for this release and I just wanted to say that the album will always be an iconic album no matter how many years pass. Besides when you see the album cover, you are in total disbelief that some guy would be that stupid to be punched in the face 50 times before they got the right shot. Well, I am happy someone stepped up the plate because it's a badass album cover.

Tattoo By Van Halen

So, I checked out the brand new song from 3/4 the original members of Van Halen on youtube called Tattoo. I'm not so sure what I'm supposed to think after listening to that track and I have mixed emotions about it. I will say that I thought the video was a little cheesy and it was sort of a flashback to bad 80's videos. The song makes me wonder what the rest of the album will sound like when it comes out. 

It's almost been thirty years since the band had recorded a full album with Diamond David Lee Roth (the last being 1984) at the helm handling vocal duties. Obviously, the band has put away their egos in order to make Van Halen fans dreams come true. The lyrics to me are a little cheesy and the song feels to forced. It's almost like their trying to go back in time to record what they think may have come out after 1984. I will say this that the song is no And The Cradle Will Rock, Unchained, Jump, or even Panama. They are obviously trying to go after the recent craze of tattoos becoming the norm and I think they should quit while their ahead. But, I'm a loyal David Lee Roth fan and I am willing to dismiss this song in order to hear the full length album when it comes out in February.

Tony Iommi Diagnosed With Lymphoma

Do not put your reading glasses on or do not adjust your computer screen because it's true. Metal's Godfather and living legend Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath has been diagnosed with Lymphoma which according to MetalInjection.net is cancer of the Immune system. Here is the official statement from the Black Sabbath camp:

"With the news that Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages if lymphoma, his bandmates would like everyone to send positive vibes to the guitarist at this time. Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan--the "IRON MAN" of Rock & Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery." 

I know that cancer is a serious deal because of the fact that we lost Ronnie James Dio due to cancer, but I know in my heart that Tony Iommi will fight through this and he will back to finish what he and the newly reunited Sabbath have set out to do. So, my thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes are with Tony Iommi at this time. 

Tribute To Dio On It's Way

That is right my friends and fellow metalheads out there, a tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio is in the works according to his wife and widow, Wendy Dio. The reports so far is that Dave Grohl, Lemmy of Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Rob Halford, Sebastian Bach, Ian Gilligan, and Glen Hughes have signed on so far to do the tribute. The reports so far is that Dave Grohl will be covering the Black Sabbath with Dio Classic, Mob Rules and Rob Halford will be covering the Rainbow classic, Long Live Rock And Roll. They are still trying to figure out who will be covering what on this tribute record and I imagine that more artists will sign on to do the record.

I hope Sebastian Bach will cover something like The Last In Line or one of my favorite Dio solo songs, Sacred Children. I think I can see Lemmy covering something off the new Elves alum that just recently came out and I can also see him covering something off of the Heaven And Hell record from Black Sabbath.  Stay tuned for more information to hopefully come soon.
