DEMI LOVATO LOVES METAL

Friday, July 24th, 2009 at 2:13pm by Axl Rosenberg

A friend sent us the below clip of Demi Lovato talking about her appreciation of Job for a Cowboy, Abigail Williams and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster (go to 3:16 in the clip). Of course, I had to use Wikipedia to figure out who the fuck Demi Lovato is, and turns out she has exactly the kind of career you’d expect her to based on her appearance. Still, I guess if she can get some twelve year old girls into JFAC, it’s all good… right?

In other news, good to see that Jimmy Fallon is still a massive tool.

    Oh my god that’s awesome.

  2. metalvinny says:

    I’d make her breakfast!

  3. metalguy says:

    sounds beleivable when she says it unlike when hannah clamed to love maiden. she looks sooo much hotter without bangs(little sister watches ger thats how i know)

  4. seveword says:

    She’s not legal for you, but she’s legal for me! Yaaaay!

  5. Permafrost says:

    You know… I had this on last night and was tuning it out until my wife told me what she’d said. My wife has heard me playing Abigail Williams, so she knew what Demi was talking about.

    I say that’s pretty cool, considering she could’ve mentioned bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Attack Attack, or even Korn, and refered to those groups as “heavy”. Good on her for having some taste.

  6. mankvill says:

    I’m not surprised 12 year old girls are into JFAC, seeing as that’s pertty much who they cater to.

  7. jason says:

    good for her for not listening to pop, but those bands still blow.

  8. Tom says:

    “In other news, good to see that Jimmy Fallon is still a massive tool.”

    …so true, so true

  9. Mynamesucks says:

    That pretty amazing considering the fact that she works for Disney.

    • fernando says:

      atreyu also works for disney, when they played in mexico people trow them coins while there were playing and comes from a country were the minimum wage its 4 bucks a day

  10. Jesse Menard says:

    I put it in her. Especially now.

  11. My nine year old idolizes Lavato, its nice to see that Demi might help shape our future with Metal.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

      If this twit helps shape your musical future in any way, I would be very afraid if I were you.

  12. Oriana Smith says:

    I’m a girl and I listened to Cannibal Corpse when I was 11.

    • Jamie says:

      good for you…would you like a cookie?

    • Natalie says:

      i’m a girl that likes metal, and i work with Lamb of God all day. i listened to Britney Spears and NSYNC when i was 11. see Miss Oriana, you don’t need to be KVLT when you’re 11 in order to be cool. i’m way cooler and i ate spoonfed pop like it was my job.

      ps – i’d fuck Demi. the end.

  13. bearbomb says:

    This is scripted. Everyone knows girls like this don’t exist.

  14. Mark Gavin says:

    She has a pop album out and was on Disney’s “Camp Rock”, Just sayin’.

  15. lol says:

    I fail to see how giving props to a bunch of deathcore/metalcore bands means that you love metal. Nor do I see how this is “positive” for metal.

    Oh and Volbeat > Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

  16. Piero says:

    Doug from Weeds on the left ?

  17. \m/Eluveitie\m/ says:

    She listens to Dr. Acula too
    ’nuff said

  18. MoonSnake says:

    funny how she’s kinda embarrassed at first. probably because she realizes that professing her love for a band called Maylene and the Sons of DIsaster could have some repercussions back at Disney

  19. Adam says:

    Wow. The MS Haterade mafia is all over this one. Jesus guys. Think of it like this:

    Demi gets some young girls into JFAC. From there they may get into something better, and so on… Before you know it, we might actually have some decent new metal bands with female singers in them in a few years. And they might say “Demi Lovato got me into metal”. Yes I know it’s not necessarily the MOST likely to happen, but it’s better then Demi saying “tee hee, I love Britney Spears, she’s my idol” or something.

    Oh, and this article is pretty amusing:
    http://music.spreadit.org/demi-lovato-secretly-want-a-metal-band-album/

    • lol says:

      That would be pretty fucking horrible if trendy 12 year old girls get into shitty deathcore bands and make it so that even more legitimate bands like Atheist and Cynic tour with scene bands like The Faceless and Psyopus.

      • ^^^^Douchbag^^^^^ says:

        lol must be the biggest KVLT TR00 M3t4l/ most pathetic human being on the planet. Good for you, I didn’t think I could ever find you.

      • Natalie says:

        HAHA did you say The Faceless and Psyopus are scene?? DID YOU SAY PSYOPUS IS SCENE?? my god go get fucking hit by a truck you idiot. that’s like saying Nachtmystium is crunkened deathcore.

        and 12 year old girls ARE into deathcore. you haven’t the slightest idea about booking bands. HA this is too funny i have to go find a tissue so i can wipe my tears of laughter.

        • cosk says:

          @ lol — Psyopus is most definately not “scene”. Here is the pulse of popular culture. Here you are 20 fucking miles away from that pulse with absolutely no idea what your talking about. The faceless could go either way though…

          • Natalie says:

            The Faceless’ most recent record was leeeeaning towards techish… i like their sound. the record before that was leeeeaning towards not being very good… but it was still okay.

            but yes. Psyopus = not scene. check your shit @lol before you start posting on a metal board.

      • Richard says:

        Are you fucking kidding me? Why is it that so many people hate bands like the faceless just because they got popular through “the scene”? Their stuff is much more technically demanding than a lot of the bands praised on this forum. Don’t just write them off for playing a breakdown every now and then. I agree that Cynic is a more talented band, but the Faceless deserve some serious respect as well.

        • Masonic Wehrmacht says:

          I had the misfortune of seeing The Faceless play live. So many nuts were in their mouths.

    • jason says:

      Or even better… it could lead to having more hot, young chicks at metal shows. Doesn’t seem so bad if you ask me.

    • Jamie says:

      there are no, and never will be any, good metal bands with female singers. well, there are two. but Light This City broke up. so that leaves it to Landmine Marathon.

      demi lovato is only capable of starting bands like In This Moment, which let’s face it, the world is better without.

    • Jizzmaster3000 says:

      Only twats use the term “Haterade”. So guess what that makes you?

    • lol says:

      Yeah, I forgot that scene kids absolutely hate incessant soulless noodlely bullshit and breakdowns. You all should get AIDS for supporting shitty bands.

      • Hatemeallyouwant says:

        @ lol = I couldn’t agree with you more. Not all deathcore bands are shitty, there are decent deathcore bands out there, but most deathcore bands are, sadly, shitty. and PsyOpus is no exception. Their new album seems like a joke to me.

  20. niggaplease says:

    A teenager likes shitty metal and hardcore. What a surprise.

  21. Anthony says:

    I sent news about this months ago (December 08, actually), and now it gets posted because someone else sent it.

    Does MS hate me?

  22. Anthony says:

    She’s also a fan of Lamb of God and DImmu Borgir. She even saw Dimmu in concert

    http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1593780/20080828/lovato__demi.jhtml

    That’s the link I sent. Fuck you guys.

  23. Jay Are says:

    They give anyone a show these days.

  24. David W says:

    This is a quote from her wikipedia page

    However, she stated in a recent interview that she no longer listens to metal music, as she is in a happier place now, and listens to mellow music that inspires her writing.”

  25. John says:

    So she likes metal, cool. I wish she liked good metal. Because JFAC and Abigail WIlliams are not that.

    • dot says:

      give her a break for listening to bands some of you don’t like.

      granted, if this isn’t just a phase for her (although i think she did say she USED to listen to metal), she’s probably gonna have better taste in a couple of years, provided she doesn’t implode first.

      and yeah, i’d tap that.

  26. Agmkreptile says:

    Am I the only one who is a HUGE demi lovato fan and a metalhead?

  27. seasick says:

    i would fuck her

  28. Adam says:

    wow. I don’t usually read a majority of the comments on these news posts… Vince and Axl are right… the haterade mafia is no exaggeration. Some of you sound like nothing will ever please you.

    But I tell you, I would certainly like to hear someone like Joanna Pacitti say she was into metal. Cause she could totally be the next Cristina Scabbia.

    I was a little disappointed to find out Lovato is Christian (which is probably why she wants to guest on an Underoath album), but fuck it, so long as she doesn’t start a preaching band, whatever.

  29. dick johnson says:

    12 year disney kids getting into death metal and shaping the market, much like how scene kids are with black metal, especially when that movie about varg comes out. awesome

  30. Tommy Lindbergsen says:

    Wow, all the bands she namedropped totally suck.
    Another prime example that females have no clue about metal what so ever.

  31. Natalie says:

    i’m sure she wouldn’t like to hear you say that.

  32. Colin says:

    ‘Hot, talentless tween likes gay-ass emo metal…’

    Stop the fucking presses!

  33. AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes says:

    Why is Disney into ugly girls?
    And how can she not be ashamed of her musical career when she listens to anything remotely metal?

  34. dot says:

    give her a break for listening to bands some of you don’t like.

    granted, if this isn’t just a phase for her (although i think she did say she USED to listen to metal), she’s probably gonna have better taste in a couple of years, provided she doesn’t implode first.

    and yeah, i’d tap that.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

      Actually her taste in bands is on par with her age group since only children like the bands she mentioned.
      Anyone who has been into metal longer than a couple of months like this twit knows that Job for a Cowboy and Abigail Williams are unlistenable.

      • SolaceInNothing says:

        I have been listeing to metal for years and I love Job for a cowboy.

        I guess your wrong.

        • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

          Just because you have been listening to metal for “years” doesn’t mean you know what you are talking about.
          Most life long metalheads find JFAC and AW to be shit.

          • Natalie says:

            I actually agree with Tommy on this one.

          • SolaceInNothing says:

            Actually TOMMY is absollutely right. However I never professed to know anything. I simply stated in rebuttle of your post that I have been listening to metal for years and I like JFAC. That simple.

            I am not pretentious enough to care if I am considered a metalhead in the eyes of anyone or not. I just listen to music that I like. It is only purely coincdence that 95% of it falls into the unbrelic genre called metal.

          • Richard says:

            I agree with you Solace. I hated JFAC when I first heard of them but then finally gave them a chance on their latest album. I think its really damn good. Can someone give me any legitimate reason why they are a bad band aside from “most lifelong metalheads find JFAC to be shit”?

  35. S.I. says:

    That’s nice. Even though I don’t really like any of the bands she mentioned, I do respect her more than if she said that she listens to all that Jonas Brothers/pop crap.

  36. 20 eyes says:

    the band didnt play metal… that was punk…

  37. tc7005 says:

    So where’s the Camp Metal movie? anyways, I think it’s awesome that she’s into metal. Rock on, babe!

  38. Slayerific says:

    Until she does something with metal, I could care less if she had a collection of thrash vinyls from the 80s. And she’s definitely in the position to make an album- and if she really was metal she’d tell Disney to fuck off and make an album.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

      She’s too young to do anything against what the cyborg continuum at Disney tells her to do.
      She doesn’t know the first thing about metal, it is more likely that she has some guy friends that listen to the bands she mentioned and is trying to fit in with the scene.
      I love how Fallon was like ” oh I need to book some metal bands on my show let me write this down.”
      He needs to be castrated and thrown out on his ass.

  39. dick? says:

    i’m pretty sure you’re all misisng something here…
    the roots are pretty good at impromptu metal…
    put a bunch of jazz/hip-hop musicians together and it’s bound to be a heavy ass success…

    • Masonic Wehrmacht says:

      The Roots is a hip hop band that is really good. Everyone who hates hip hop should give them a chance. They belong in the 1.3% of hip hop with talent.

  40. dick? says:

    and she’s definitely got to get herself into a an actual “metal” act.
    i use “metal” because it could be hard rock, that she calls metal and we’d all listen because everybody over 18 on this site would still try to hit that because she’s hot.

    deal with it.

  41. thebenthic says:

    i understand that the whole point of metalsucks is to talk shit, but its getting old. while job and abigail both have routes in deathcore can you seriously say that they are just generic deathcore bands? ruination was a legit deathmetal album, while i didnt particularily love abigails new cd, it was still way better than the legend ep. and as for maylene, can anyone really say that theyre not the best at what they do? im absolutely positive that someone will reply to this with a “your not metal or kill yourself” or “your not metal” or some ridiculous bullshit but honestly if this disney girl can reach out to young girls and turn them on to metal by some means, that thats legit. dont care what anyone says.

    • Natalie says:

      I will not respond with “you’re not metal”. and i will agree that Ruination is a far cry from JFAC’s last…. horrible release. but Abigail Williams is not deathcore (but they still suck a huge one), and Maylene’s new album was not good… i turned it off halfway through.

      so no, they aren’t generic deathcore bands (with the exclusion of JFAC’s last album… that was as generic deathcore as it gets). but, they still aren’t good.

  42. Mike says:

    Holy fuck, I’m older than her by a month, and I’m 17 :O.

  43. Chris Berseth says:

    I’m more metal than all of you combined.
    Ridiculous. Like it really matters in the grand scheme of things.

  44. CYN1C says:

    It’s cool how she went for the death growls and stupid Jimmy was just screaming.

  45. TMR says:

    I feel sexy!

  46. john phenomenon says:

    god damn you are all a bunch of fucking haters. i bet you ugly bastards are just butt hurt your fat turd ass can’t get a decent looking or smelling vagina to come within 5 feet of you!

    who gives 2 tumbling fucks what music a girl listens to? if she has a hot body and wants to let me sex her up i see no problems.

  47. xXxDarkfoxXx says:

    So is Miley Cyrus: http://www.revolvermag.com/node/2919 .

    • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

      You namedrop Miley Cyrus and then you throw up a link to Revolver.
      That qualifies as a double dose of fail.

  48. Kev says:

    Well that comment board was a load of mis-aimed hate and sexism. I mean really guys, you may not like these bands, but its not like Deicide and Bloodbath are common amongst the younger crowd, per say, so this is at least a step in the right direction. And if any of you tr00 kvlt purists actually listened to JFAC I’m sure you wouldn’t be spewing half as much shit. They’re pretty fucking decent for a modern band. And for the fuck who said something about emo metal, I’m pretty sure that died when Bullet For My Valentine and Atreyu both became un cool again. Fucking purist retards. Step out of your bubbles and take a look around, your shit isnt the best, ass fucks.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

      Just about every band you mentioned has ripped off a true metal band is way, shape of form.
      The reason you think they are good, like most of the people who listen to this crap, is because you have never listened to any of the bands who did it first.
      You think it’s being close minded and being trapped inside of a bubble, but really it’s the disgusting way these so called modern bands blatantly rip off true metal acts that did it better fifteen years ago.
      You are wrong, my shit IS the best.

      • Kev says:

        Don’t play the rip off card, no ones original. No matter who you are, what music you play or how old you are, someone slightly older and “truer” is saying you ripped off someone else.
        I get that rehashes suck, it actually bugs me to. I listen to old shit. I like old shit. I hear the rip offs. I don’t care. A good riff is a good riff, and a good song is a good song. You gotta just realize that after so many years originality is rare, if not completely instinct. Being a good musician and a good artist means you write music that is true to yourself, and its one in a million that its something mind blowingly new and innovative.
        What is true? Those from my generation (25 and under) are gonna say bands from 2019 are ripping off the bands they listened to growing up. The older say that those bands ripped off the ones from their generation, so on so forth. Some dude 10-15 years older than you probably says something along the same longs (assuming your not like 40 or something, in which case, why do you care?)
        Thats great. I like my shit.

  49. West Virginia says:

    Well hope to at least see some metal bands get a gig on that show.

    And Fallon sucks, i doubt hell be there for long.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen says:

      The problem with booking gigs on a show of that nature is that it will most likely be bands that suck, it’s not like you’re ever going to see Insomnium or Agalloch on late night shows.
      If anything you’ll see more mainstream acts like Avenged Sevenfold or whatever else the kids listen to these days.

  50. greg says:

    she listens to shit. JFAC is overrated old shit. Jimmy Fallon is a babbling idiot and probably still listens to the fucking Spin Doctors

  51. Hatemeallyouwant says:

    She can work for Disney and still be a metalhead. There’s nothing wrong with that. And fellow metalheads, I don’t see how her love for metal has anything to do with her hotness or her incapability to front a metal band. Sexist much?

    Glad that she’s a metalhead. Still, I question her taste in metal. It’s true that she has the right to listen to whatever she wants. I personally don’t find JFAC and AW to be all that amazing, I’m sure there are people who would agree with me. But … that’s just me.

  52. Brendan Seigel says:

    Here’s the way I look at it… If you are a musician who plays pop music but likes metal, good for you. BUT, if you are a DISNEY musician that likes metal, you are basically stabbing your own musical taste in the back by supporting and WORKING FOR the bastards that shove Jonas Brothers down the throat of today’s youth.

  53. insidethenine says:

    the next thing you know shel say she plays gears of war and lovesvto shoot guns
