MetalSucks

Last week Vince and I guested on Noisecreep’s “Creep Show” video podcast. You can watch the episode below.

In addition to the regular “Creep Show” gang – Noisecreep editor Seth Werkheiser, news columnist and writer Chris Harris, and Revolver senior writer and Noisecreep scribe Jon Wiederhorn – we joined call-in guests Brandon Saller and Alex Varwhateverthefuck from Atreyu. Because we were guests in someone else’s house, we decided to be polite and play nice with the Atreyu dudes… so apologies to anyone who was hoping we’d get into it with the metalcore (excuse me… “metallic rock”) band.

We had a lot of fun – in fact this was Vince’s second time on the show – and hope to visit with the Noisecreep family again real soon. Enjoy.

‘Cause the muthafuckin’ man himself, Trevor “Heartburn” Strnad, is going to call in. He’ll be discussing BDM’s excellent new album, Deflorate (in stores now!), taking questions from other callers, and participating in MI’s patented “Death or No Death” game, where you try to guess which death metal band names are real, and which ones are fake. The last time Rob Pasbani and the gang played that game, it was with The Red Chord’s Gunface, and he won. Can one Metal Blade artist who likes to act silly out perform another Metal Blade artist who likes to act silly? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

The show starts at 8 pm EST tonight; you can listen by going here. The Metal Injection Livecast is on Wednesday nights now, not Fridays, so you’re shit out of excuses to miss it!!!

If you missed the Metal Injection Livecast on which I was guest this past Friday night, you can download it here. In addition to discussing some of last week’s most amusing bits of metal news, we were joined in the studio by the not-quite-legendary Thor Shredsteen (not “stein”) and took some phone calls that were, um, entertaining. Check it out.

Planning to spend yet another Friday night home alone before jerking off and crying yourself to sleep? Why not listen to tonight’s Metal Injection Livecast instead, since I’m going to be on it and I have such a mellifluous voice? We’re going to smoke and/or drink and talk about metal, play a game called “Thrash It or Trash It” in which we make fun of give careful consideration to submissions from unsigned bands, and generally make asses out of ourselves. All live on the air!

Plus, you can even call in and ask us questions, tell us why we’re douchebags, whatever you want – just call 646-929-1357 and we’ll, like, talk to you n’ shit. If you kiss my ass a little and tell me how much you love MetalSucks, I might even be nice to you.

The show starts at 10 pm EST. You can listen here. I can’t promise that you will have fun, but I can promise that you can listen to me having fun.

For those of you not in the know, our good friends over at Metal Injection do a video podcast called “The Fix.” The podcast should always be of interest to lovers of all things metal, but this week’s edition is extra-extra special for MetalSucks readers, as MS’ own co-dicktators, Axl Rosenberg and Vince Neilstein, guest host the show. This is your first and possibly last chance to see Axl and Vince as you’ve never seen them before, live and on-camera!!!

This was filmed way back in March, so some of it may be a little dated (e.g., references to IWRESTLEDABEARONCE as an “unsigned band”), but it’s still totally killer, and features videos from such MetalSucks favorites Hate Eternal, Anthrax, Sikth and more. You can check it out below or, better head, head over to iTunes and just subscribe to the damn podcast so you can get your fix every damn week!

We hope you enjoy…

Our boy Rob over at Metal Injection recently conducted an phone interview with the almighty Dethklok for the Metal Injection Brain Damage podcast. Because I helped Rob out with the questions, and because I have no sense of modesty whatsoever, I’ve included the podcast below for your listening pleasure. Topics include Dr. Rockso the Rock N’ Roll Clown, the band’s upcoming tour, and, of course, the band’s adopted son, Fatty Ding Dongs (not to be confused with Eddie Van Halen’s biological son).

Brain Damage: DETHKLOK Interview Special

Thanks to Rob for getting on the phone with these dudes so I don’t have to. I hate talking to people on the phone. Or in person, for that matter.

Speaking of Dethklok, they finally announced their tour dates with …And You Will Kow Us by the Trail of Dead, the non-metal band with the most metal name of any non-metal band, ever (save for the Starland Vocal Band, of course). Right now, the tour seems to exclusively be hitting universities, and is coming nowhere near NYC, thus settling my debate about whether or not I’d actually go see a live flesh n’ blood incarnation of my favorite cartoon band.

Tour dates after the jump.
