The Big 4 Tour?


Lots and lots of rumors are floating around about a possible Big 4 world tour. When referring to the Big 4 we mean the four biggest Thrash bands in the land. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. This would be a dream come true for every heavy metal fan out there, but I just don’t think it can happen.

Obviously there are logistics and schedules that would make it difficult, but the main reason I don’t think it can happen is the fact that they all hate each other. I mean hate! The history amongst these bands and the fact that they have competed for the same fan base has torn any possible relationships to shreds.

I’m not going to get into the story of Dave Mustaine and Metallica because that’s been done to death, but when your band leaves you on the side of the road and tells you the rides over… your going to be bitter. Some believe Mustaine formed Megadeth, just to get back at Metallica. I’m one of those believers.

Another issue is the mouth on Kerry King. The guitarist of Slayer is forever ripping on everyone specially Dave Mustaine. Other then performing Kerry’s favorite past time is talking crap about Mustaine and when he’s not doing that he’s calling Metallica a bunch of sell outs. The only way this tour could happen is if they segregate Kerry from the rest of the world. Megadeth and Slayer have been on tour together this year, but never actually spoke the entire time. It must have worked because they are taking the tour out to Australia and then back to Canada. Maybe that’s how you do it, they do their sets and go to the bus.

Now I haven’t mentioned Anthrax because they pretty much get along with everyone and have toured with the three other bands on several occasions, but Kerry did not want them to feel left out so he did an interview that stated Anthrax on the tour might not be a good idea because they are dwindled and non-effective now. That got Scott Ian in an uproar and he started posting footage of Anthrax with John Bush on Twitter and sending them to Kerry to show how Anthrax still has it and King doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

We still haven’t covered who would open and close the shows. I think its pretty obvious in my opinion. Opening spot would go to Anthrax as they have had several shifts and Bush isn’t officially back with the band. Slayer can go next to ramp up the crowd a little bit and then Megadeth just for the symbolic gesture of having Metallica come out after Mustaine’s set. As much as people go off about Metallica they are the most successful Metal band in history and should be the closers of the show. But egos don’t think that clearly.

This tour just isn’t going to happen. Way to many variables and I do hope I’m wrong because it would be amazing. What a treat to see all four of them together. As you read through this I’m sure you all agree that maybe it could happen if we just got rid of Kerry King…

Bringing on Lamb of God




Hi all! Haven’t been in blog world in a bit, took a break for a vacay. Thought I’d get back in to it and learn more about Lamb of God, as this is one group in the family of metal that I don’t know a lot about. My genre doesn’t include a lot of death, melodic death, metal core, groove, black metal but I’m open to listening and learning and I’m not going to “Fake it” to try to impress anyone and I’m not going to be narrow minded and not give it a shot. So here it goes…

I found their name popping up more and more over the past few months and then I was impressed when I found out they were going to be in our province along with Gwar, which meant I was actually going to get to see them live…cuz I just have to see Gwar *L* I think this concert is going to hurt my ears and head b/c “Job for a Cowboy” is also a band playing and if you remember reading a past blog about Death Metal, we saw All That Remains. I liked the music but the actual singing part was a nice break from the growling for my head…plus the acoustics were kinda sucky at the venue so that might have done it too. So my interest began when I kept hearing their name and then found out they were coming. This should be quite the show just before Halloween with all the death (metal) in the air and blood and body parts thrown from stage. I will need a bag to protect my camera b/c we’re there as media. Can’t wait!! Eeeeee!

You came here to read about what I had to say about Lamb of God so I’d better get my ass in to it. These guys started off in 1990 with the band name “Burn the Priest” however, after a short time they changed it to Lamb of God…that name doesn’t sound so hateful now, does it? They were actually banned in some places b/c their name was thought to be ‘evil’ and mean evil. Nah, really? So there boys and girls, remember when choosing a band name, make sure you’re not going to scare venue owners so they don’t add you to their concerts and events listings. These guys met in college (See! Pays to go to college! You can end up doing some really kewl things that have nothing to do with what you’re studying and it will totally piss your parents off after they’ve spent all that money to send you there). Mark Morton, drummer, actually left the band and went back to college tho to get his masters degree…way to go Mark! ^5 He came back to kick ass tho and to complete the band once again. Currently there’s 5 of them - Chris Adler-drums, Randy Blythe-vocals, Mark Morton-lead guitar, Willie Adler-rhythm guitar, John Campbell-bass. Going through different phases and sounds, they have had a sound of hardcore punk, thrash metal, and they even possess sludge metal influences and now are labelled as metal core and groove metal.

They were happy with their record label in the states but ended up looking to find another so that they can distribute outside of the US. They signed with Roadrunner, who incidentally owns Blabbermouth…what a great way to get your name out there! Blabbermouth is the CNN of the metal world. They released a new record Feb 09 (Wrath).

Lamb of God has toured with the big boys such as Metallica, Mastodon and Children of Bodom. You can consider Lamb of God one of the big boys and opening for a band that has been out of the scene for some time (Limp Biscuit), to open up for them, that would be a fucking slap in the face after all they’ve done and been the headlining acts at concerts. I can totally agree with Willie when he got upset about that conflict.

I’ve selected “Laid to Rest” as my vid to share. I like this one the best out of the ones I viewed and listened to. And I could actually make out what he was singing, it was awesome. Loved the sound.

And if you see me with ear plugs at the concert in Oct, its not b/c I don’t like the music! Its b/c I want to enjoy it! : )

Interview with Oderus of GWAR

After dialling a 1500 digit telephone number 12 times with much anticipation the following conversation took place:

WLM: Oderus, did we get a hold of you?

Oderus: Yeh, I’m here, I’m so fuckin here. Where are you? I demand to know! Where are you?

WLM: We are outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Oderus: Ah Canadians, fine young Canadian meat.

WLM: It’s a little more desolate then Antarctica, but a nice place. You’re coming to visit us on October 29th in Halifax at the Cunard Centre with Lamb of God and Job for a Cowboy.

Oderus: Yes, but Antarctica isn’t desolate at all, we’ve turned it into quite a lively place. It was very desolate before we got here, but we have livened up the place.

WLM: So were actually speaking to you from the GWAR fortress?

Oderus: Yeh, I’m at home right now, taking a little break. Apparently in the United States today they are having a holiday where I am getting ready to go visit them because today is Labour Day. A lot of people are in it and it means a lot of babies will be born. And everyone knows how much I like to fuck children. So I’m going to go visit the Labour Day and find a woman or women, plural you know.

Your language is very weird; it actually hurts my mouth to talk it. It hurts the inside of my mouth to say human words. For some reason I write my songs in human, I don’t know why I do that. Its almost like were a band from Germany that writes everything in English. It happens all the time, why are they doing that. Like if a band is from Norway, but they keeps writing in fuckin English, I mean why? Do they want to be a hit? Don’t they know that Norway bands will never appeal to American rock and roll listeners unless its in English. I guess that’s why they do it.

WLM: Does that mean your not going to be singing in Canadian when you come up here?

Oderus: No, no, I will be but I’m just saying I’ve always wanted to make a record in my native tongue.

WLM: I thought they already didn’t accept you in Scumdogia?

Oderus: Yeh, I mean my language is appalling and my English is rudimentary at best. Of course rudimentary for Oderus is much better then most humans could manage. Oh wait… how delightful, its raining blood.

WLM: Again? Its been a bad year for that.

Oderus: I’m so happy what a beautiful day. I just came out to check the entrails I draped over the balcony last night as I was fashioning some weaponry. Actually I’m working on a new sculpture I might not have ready for this tour, because on the next album, not this one but the next one I will be stepping up and playing an instrument. I will play the “fag pipes,” also known as the “skin flute,” also known as the “disgusting scrotum,” that I will squeeze and suck and horrible noises will come out of, it will be lovely and it will be most rejoicing. Oww, burned on my crack pipe.

WLM: Will this tour be starting in San Francisco?

Oderus: Yeh I mean sure, everything happens in San Francisco. Oh gees, Christ I really have to stop smoking so much crack in the morning. I should just eat it.

WLM: So October 29th you’re coming up here to Halifax, NS to play…

Oderus: To the Canadian wastelands to share blood with the royal GWAR freaks of Canada. Time and time again Canadians show they can hold their own with anyone as far as drinking, doing drugs, having sex, and practising crashing large machines into buildings. They can do all these things and more while shooting guns drunk.

Then we will all go to the GWAR show, which is really the highlight of the year for you people. I know a lot of people like Halloween, but GWAR is a lot more fun then Halloween. I mean Halloween is like getting ready for GWAR, but a lot of people out there think the GWAR show is the thing they look most forward to and they should because it’s the most spectacular show in existence. People out there still haven’t realized we exist, I feel so sorry for them.

WLM: Were very concerned about the tour because there is a rumour floating around that you are the new lead singer of Velvet Revolver.

Oderus: Oh, I would never work with those wankers. I don’t care how much they pay me. Its horrible, its vile, I mean whatever happened to junky boy?

WLM: I think he’s doing something with a crack pipe right now.

Oderus: What was up with him and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Why did they do that video, it was so fucking stupid.

WLM: I don’t know but I heard there was a skin flute involved.

Oderus: Aren’t people sick of these people, why don’t people just demand that every entertainer be as good as GWAR or at least try to be as good as us. I can’t believe you actually anoint these people to celebrity status. It’s a cesspool of human need.

I mean Octomom; on my planet we would find a good use for the octomom.

WLM: Well she is good food, she produces.

Oderus: Yeh, but we would fuck her a lot first. I would love to get my hands on the Octomom but the thing about GWAR is you tend to see us coming. So she has her fetuses actually lift her up in the air and run away together.

WLM: I think I’ve seen that on TLC. Speaking of vile scum we had a question that came into us from the website.

People wanted to know if GWAR took over the world and elected Kerry King the supreme ruler, what would earth be like?

Oderus: Oh well if Kerry King ruled the earth all you would hear is his guitar solo. It would just be constantly be… (Oderus breaks into guitar sounds), it would be endless, none stop 24 hours a day. If Kerry King ruled the world you would only be able to eat at TGI Fridays. No really its true, Kerry King when he goes to Europe he will not eat at any of the local restaurants, he has to eat at TGI Fridays.

WLM: I think that would hurt the Slayer rep in the long run don’t you?

Oderus: Well I mean I bashed Kerry a bunch, but he hasn’t risen to the bait. I keep trying to get a bunch of free press out of him with his reaction, but I’m going to give up. In fact I salute Kerry at this point for ignoring me and I give him all the respect and love in the world. Slayer is probably the greatest metal band ever. I’m not going to diss him anymore.

He’s been very wise because the only reason I belittle my peers is so they will react angrily and I will get free publicity. It didn’t work this time so I salute him for that.

WLM: Well 25 years ago they thawed you out in Antarctica and you made a record that was amazing. You have changed your musical styles over the years, but now 25 years later you have come back with Lust in Space. Us humans put it at number 96 on our stupid top 200 list. What do you think of that?

Oderus: Yeh well don’t worry it has plummeted off already. It was on for a week and is in there somewhere. I don’t understand all these numbers, but what I do care about is it’s getting an excellent reaction.

Usually when people review GWAR records it goes about half and half. Half think it’s awesome, the other half think it’s just OK. This time around everyone is really beating the GWAR drum and I think that has to do with our magnificent two yearlong 25th anniversary celebration. A lot of people are reassessing their relationship with GWAR. They say Gwar came to town, yeh they fucked my girlfriends face and it fuckin ripped off so they stuck their dick in the hole. Yeh she died, but yeh they’re like thinking about that and jacking off. Then their like what it’s the 25th anniversary? Holy shit it was five years ago that Oderus fucked off my girlfriends face. They say fuck it I’ll give it another try.

There is literally 25 years of people like that all coming to the same conclusion at the same time. Lets get down with GWAR and party like rock stars because this is the 25th year of history of the most mind boggling, staggering event in human history. The rebirth of GWAR.

WLM: Along those lines we do have a couple of questions. We know in NC they took your cuddlefish a few years back. Heavy Metal Momma wants to know how long it takes to grow one of those back?

Oderus: Oh pretty quick, about a week or so. If you pour wart remover into the hole it fucking grows back faster, I don’t know why that is, but it does. The problem is you never know quite what is going to happen when it grows back. You know if your lucky it will be a penis and it will work and be even bigger then the old one. If your not lucky you might grow a leg out of that hole and that would be bad. Then you would have to cut if off and keep cutting it off until a penis finally grew back. That has happened before. It’s happened many different times, arms and legs have been ripped out of their sockets and grew back as carrots. It doesn’t make any sense. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to mutilate and dissect, draw and quarter my own body just so I could have a three-foot long penis.

WLM: Well I think I have one of the son of a bitches (cuddlefish) growing under my bed, what’s the best way to deal with that?

Oderus: Well you let it grow, do whatever it wants. There is no way to deal with it; you just do what it says.

WLM: But it wants to do some pretty nasty things.

Oderus: Well then you better do it. Its better to do it then have it against you. Well no matter how degrading or vile you have to make the choice for yourself. Would I rather die or would I rather suck this penis. Some humans would rather die.

Think about it, it’s not really a pleasant thing to do. It’s not enough to just suck the dick then spit in your hand. You have to swallow it all and were talking several gallons. Clotted thick, stingy, penile vomit.

WLM: I heard rumours it leaves an awful stain in the carpet to?

Oderus: Oh well you wouldn’t have a carpet; it would eat through the floor. It’s a great way to melt a house, I’ll tell you that. It works like acid, but its way, way worse, plus it comes out of a penis.

WLM: We also wanted to know for our own sake, what percentage do you let survive at the concert?

Oderus: Well I hear of these people that have been to GWAR 38 times and I guess were slipping because I know people go there and use the blood of their dead friends to trick GWAR into thinking their dead and it does work because lets face it were really high. You know that cheating, it really is. When people come and see GWAR I expect them to die and the more the better. We try to facilitate you; maybe I have to install whirling saw blades at the front of the stage so when people come in they will just be slashed. As the show goes on more people will be pushed forward into the blades. That might work.

WLM: Doesn’t that fuck with the LAMB OF GOD who because there won’t be many people left when they come on stage.

Oderus: That is a problem and we had to talk to Lamb of God about that. So we said hey Lamb of God what are we going to do about half the audience being dead, but apparently their not worried about it because they are just going to leave the doors open and people will keep fighting their way in. Kind of like a death camp school of rock concerts. Its kind of like the victims of the holocaust going into the gas chamber except we don’t strip them and cut of their hair and pull the fillings out of their teeth before they go in, we do that after. Everyone that dies in the pit is ground up into GWAR dog food, which we actually eat ourselves. It’s like dog food but we eat it. Weird! We even take the fillings for god sake and we take the hair and sell it to U-boat cruises to stuff the pillowcases with. True story!

Anyway so they’re not worried about it. Lamb of God are old friends of ours and they are all strung out on crack. We were doing discussions, negotiations with Lamb of God to make sure we got to do our full show and that crap and as we were getting into discussions I was hitting the crack pipe and Danny from Lamb of God was like, “Do you think I can hit that?” I like hell yeh, so we were all on the pipe together. It’s all cool.

WLM: Our plan at the concert is we are going to try and make friends with you. What do you look for in comrades?

Oderus: Oh, high tolerance to drugs and alcohol. I have to see how fucked up you can get and stay alive. That’s a good way to find people to hang out with because if they don’t meet up with those criteria they die. I look for someone good in battle, big and strong. Supernatural powers of some sort, flying, things like that. I don’t really hang out with humans too much. Scum dog brothers always.

I like entertainers though I have to admit. I always feel a little bit enamoured with the whole showbiz scene. Ever since I met Englebert Humperdink. It’s been an uphill battle, and then downhill, then sideways, then back on a plateau type of battle. This battle has been to get Oderus and GWAR their won TV quiz show and were getting closer everyday and I have no doubt that in the next 3 or 400 years we will accomplish that.

WLM: Well speaking of celebrities we have heard that you snuck into Sebastian Bach, Def Leopard, and Bon Jovi’s house stealing their soul and forcing them to go to Country music.

Oderus: No they did that on their own. I decided to let them do it on their own and they went to country music. They felt they came to a point in their career where they exhausted every option and they decided to go country. I fully recognize I might have to travel down this road myself when I have absolutely whored myself out in every other possible manner. Oderus will go country. That might be the greatest thing I ever did.

WLM: Can you stop yourself from eating the horse?

Oderus: Yeh, but I won’t be able to stop myself from fucking it.

WLM: Back to the GWAR fortress, is it true the fortress is powered with the heating and cooling of Santa Clauses blood?

Oderus: No, I leave Santa alone. I don’t want to hurt Santa. I actually like Santa he’s kind of cool. He’s old, he’s fat, and he’s got elves. I don’t know where they get this cheesy elf stuff, elves are perverts. Santa Claus is obviously a pedophile and Mrs. Claus is totally into bondage. I love to visit them and hang out with them. I’ll tell you who I don’t like is that fuckin Tooth Fairy. I do not like her; we can do better then that.

WLM: So when your out on the road what do you do for fun? Other then eat babies and fuck all the women.

Oderus: Well that’s a big part of the day right there so you’ve kind of answered the question for me. We do rock the house, that’s the other thing we do. Then if there’s enough time for drinking and playing golf, snowboarding, shuffle boarding, bocce ball, macramé, basket weaving, ceramics, aqua class, yoga, tai chi, martial arts, skate boarding, trivia, jenga, you know that’s pretty much it.

WLM: One more for you here Oderus. Obviously Alice Cooper has stolen “School’s Out” from you, but what did he think of your version?

Oderus: He loved it and he interviewed us a couple of weeks ago and there is talk of GWAR and Alice Cooper doing some shows together in 2010. He is a long time admirer of GWAR and Oderus a big fan of his. He is one of those few humans that I like to give some respect to. He has been watching out career quite closely all these years and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him… we were very close to getting him in the video. It was close but he couldn’t do it. He is an amazing golfer; he is a scratch golfer shooting par or better, that’s amazing, a very hard fucking thing to do. I would not be surprised to see some sort of collaboration with him at some point or even a tour or just a show. It would be amazing.

WLM: Oderus We Love Metal Dot Com would like to thank you so much for doing this and we will see you on October 29th at the Cunard Centre in Halifax.

Oderus: That sounds like a lot of fun, it’s going to be an amazing event. I’m telling all you fuckers it’s the best show of the year. You have three of the biggest bands in metal. You have the granddaddy and the eternal masters of the sickest show ever with GWAR on their 25th anniversary. Job for a Cowboy is an amazing up and coming band that getting bigger everyday. Lamb of God is just crushing everywhere they go. This is going to be an amazing night for metal and the whole tour is a great thing and it marks the beginning of this two-year celebration of all things GWAR. Get out there and show your love for metal, buy our new fucking album Lust in Space because I love the support.

This interview was made possible by Sonic Entertainment Group based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and Sarah Lutz of Metal Blades Records Canada. We thank them both very much. Its not everyday you get to talk to a superstar from another planet. Buy the record and see the show. Both are amazing!

Pay to Stand

If you told me I had to come to work today and stand for 10 or 12 hours straight I will tell you to piss off. Not only that, but then you charge me anywhere from $50 to $100 to do it, plus if I get hungry I have to walk half a mile and pay $6.00 for a sausage. Sounds like what would happen if Kerry King took over the world to me: when in fact I did just that three times this summer. WILLINGLY!!

Heavy Metal Bloggers have to do one major thing to learn their trade, go to concerts. Well in this genre most of the concerts turn out being festivals with general admission. Even with media accreditation you end up standing most of the time waiting for your turn to get in and get your pics. So why do we do it?

If we wouldn’t do it everyday for pay, why is it when someone with great music gets on stage your willing to do it and pay them? I thought I had an answer, but I really don’t. Its fun to a certain extent, but we were seated at Disturbed and I had just as much fun as I did getting elbowed in the face at AC/DC. Country festivals allow you to bring chairs, jazz festivals have seating, pop concerts have little kids you could stand on, but Heavy Metal is an all out war at the front of the stage. You can sit down, but your going to lose you spot and get trampled.

Now that I talk it out I may have just answered my own question. It becomes a competition. A competition to see your musical hero on stage as close as possible so you can brag to your friends. People tell me all the time how jealous they are of the pics we get and the experiences we have by the stage, I must admit it feels good when people say that, but is that all there is to it?

I look back to the days of Micheal Jackson and the women screaming and crying and just trying to get close to him. (little did they know at 17 they were already to old and female), you don’t see that at a Heavy Metal Concert. The thought of some girl crying over Job for a Cowboy is funny, but unrealistic.

I guess that brings up the final question that I will leave with you. Does each group of fans from each different genre “pay to stand” for different reasons or is there on common reason I’m missing?

Matt Sorum: Drum Whore

As many of you have seen on Heavy Metal news sites Mikkey Dee of Motorhead is going on vacation. Well being in a Malaysian Jungle with cameras following your every move waiting for you to cry “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” is vacation compared to touring with Lemmy. Anyway Motorhead is going on tour without Mikkey Dee so they called up the original Drum Whore: Matt Sorum.

Matt is known for his time in The Cult and that little band with Duff and Slash called Velvet Revolver. There is another band he was in as well, but the name escapes me, it had the words guns roses in it I think.

Sorum is extremely talented and well known in this industry and should be respected, but this Heavy Metal Blogger can’t help but feel everything Matt touches becomes dirty. It’s like your wife going away for the weekend and you inviting the local prostitute over to cook your meals. It might not be technically wrong, but ethically it’s just dirty.

But really that’s not my call as Lemmy is Lemmy and will make up his own mind when it comes to everything Motorhead. Matt will likely bring in some more mainstream fans if its advertised that he is on the skins. Lemmy better be careful though, Scott Weiland always claimed that Matt was taking over the vocals at some VR shows. It would be funny to see Matt singing Orgasmatron, but it would be funnier seeing Lemmy whipping his ass out back.

Maybe I just don’t like Sorum and don’t want him to taint the legend that is Lemmy. Or maybe Matt Sorum is really a whore. He is one of the founders of Camp Freddy, which is a whore band, with musicians cycling in and out all the time. A great concept and perfect for the drumming streetwalker Sorum. Actually that’s the only band he formed and didn’t sub into a fulltime gig.

I certainly would go to the concert and enjoy it, but I must say I would need a shower after to wash off the Sorum.

Machine Head Live

Machine Head will be going on tour in Jan 2010! In Europe! Supporting acts will be Hatebreed, Bleeding Through and All Shall Perish. This is bound to be another amazing tour for the band.

“The Black Procession Tour” which it is called will be covering the main European countries. The band will also be mixing things up a bit from what I have read, like the set list and arrangement of songs. So if you’re a “Machine Head” fan this will be awesome to hear and see. It will be interesting to see what songs the boys can dig up to play.

The European dates are posted on their website machinehead1 check it out under “tours.” So lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that everything goes as planned for these Heavy Metal Machine Heads!!

Martell's Rantings and Bitching

Just a list of some things I’ve been thinking about or bitching about. Lets rock it:

- Why is Bon Jovi and Poison subbing in Bass Players? I didn’t even know that they had bass players.

- I think I’ve had enough outdoor concerts to last a lifetime. If one more stinky smelly dude that knows nothing about music slams into me I’m going to snap. Don’t worry I say this every year.

- I’m actually border line excited to be media at the GWAR/Lamb of God concert, but as Heavy Metal Momma said, “What do we protect the camera with from the blood.”

- Rumor had it Heaven & Hell were breaking up! Why would they do that, they finally got to tour without Ozzy or Bill Ward. Things are good now.

- Speaking of Ozzy, he had a nine year old play on stage with him at Blizzcon. Ozzy is dead to me now.

- Was Dragon Force famous before Guitar Hero? I think I just answered my own question.

- How in the hell am I going to get Morgan to a Metallica concert when they’re in the area. Might have to pull a Mr. T and knock her out before the show.

- Does Kip Winger realize how terrible the name Kip is?

- Garage Days was just awful, I mean awful.

- 3 Inches of Blood is coming to Halifax. That would be great if I had a sweet clue what was in their catalogue. Since my brain is obviously full with shit I can’t take the time to look it up either.
