IN WHICH DISTURBED AND DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN ADDED YET MORE FUEL TO THE FIRE
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 at 9:47pm by Vince NeilsteinHappy July 4th, everyone. Axl and I are closing down the MetalSucks Mansion a day early to get off of this swampy, hot, over-crowded island…. so this is it for us until next Monday. Enjoy your time-off; for our international readers, well… revel in the fact that you get *way* more days off than we lame Americans do throughout the whole year! Anyway, here’s what happened this week:
- Motley Crue and Shinedown had big sales debuts, while Disturbed and Kid Rock kept it going strong.
- The Human Abstract debuted more killer new music.
- We interviewed the brains behind one of our favorite albums of 2008 so far.
- David Draiman insists on having the last word in the ongoing Disturbed vs. Dillinger Escape Plan drama.
- The new Slipknot masks look kinda like the old Slipknot masks, but we like their new song.
- We asked what you thought of Straight Line Stitch; you answered loud and clear.
Cheers, everyone. Enjoy your time off.

I’ve always known Canada is more progressive than the U.S.
you self loathing piece of shit. just because your life is shit doesnt mean you have to drag down the rest of your fellow countrymen.
Actually it’s Independence Day. 4th of July is a date. Happy independence from your loyal readers’ inane ramblings.
sammy id say that judging by his backhanded slaps towards the US he doesnt know the difference or wishes we were still under the tyranical thumb of the crown. happy birthday USA!!!! and to all its people… you live in the greatest land in the history of human kind. please cherish it!!!
Here’s the thing. I’m not at ALL jingoistic. But, none of the nations who have mandatory 12 weeks off vacation and umpteen paid holidays are economic world powers or have a flag on the moon or end up saving other countries’ asses when they get into a bind. Of course, they also don’t usually invade countries for no good reason, but the former statement still stands.
And I’d bet dollars to shit piles that we have the highest per capita ratio of IMmigrants to EMigrants of any nation. Yeah, we’re FAR from perfect and have a dufus in the White House, but still…if France is invaded, who are they gonna get on the red phone? Canada? Denmark? Doubt it. There is a reason Swedes learn English and not the other way around.
i like the us and all, but norway is where it’s at. oh, and i just saw DEP play. now, i don’t know disturbed, but something tells me that they’ll have a hard time ever topping DEP.
I can find videos of DEP concerts and have people just standing around staring, it depends where you play at.
