Depending on who you believe, Axl Rose has been directly or indirectly responsible for four riots during the course of his career, and two of them were in Canada – one in Montreal and one in Vancouver.
So the news that Rose may announce Canadian tour dates (or at least a date) this Monday is somewhat unsettling.
Is this website real? If so, it rules. If not, it still rules.
Join the fight. Even if you’re not a mother.

We’ve worked pretty hard to achieve our title of the “Most Negative Site in Metal.” And we’re proud of that title. We’ve earned it, damn it.
So we’re jealous that those fuckers at The Deciblog, and not us, thought of this brilliant idea:
THE DECIBLOG SCREAMO COVER ELIMINATION BRACKET.
Luckily, they invited us to participate.
Here’s the description of how it’s gonna work:
Last week was a ginormous week for new metal releases, and with new ones from Killswitch and Suicide Silence this week promises to be the same. Topping last week’s crop was Dream Theater’s Black Clouds & Silver Linings which debuted at #6 on the Soundscan Charts. Wait a minute… Dream Theater debuted at #6?? Holy fuckity-fuck. Darkest Hour, The Mars Volta, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster and Goatwhore also had strong debuts. Click through for chart positions and sales numbers.
When will this horrible, horrible, horrible trend die out? Certainly not any time before June 16th, when Brokencyde’s new album, the appropriately titled I’m Not A Fan… But The Kids Like It comes out. Tours like this one are criss-crossing the country, Revolver is shilling for Hollywood Undead, and there’s a new crunk-core band popping up on the radio seemingly every week. Times are grim, my friends.
Here’s Brokencyde’s new video for “Booty Call.” Watch, fear for the well-being of our nation’s children, then hit up @brokencyde on Twitter and tell them how much they blow.

The May issue of Revolver has an article on Hollywood Undead and “the screamo-crunk explosion,” and while I’m aware that there are people I completely respect who love this shit, this particular sub-genre pretty much makes me want the ending of Dr. Strangelove to come true.
The article included some bands we’ve already declared our hatred for here at MS – the aforementioned Hollywood Undead, Brokencyde, and I Set My Friends on Fire – but also has the unfortunate distinction of having introduced me to Breathe Carolina and 3OH!3.
Honestly, I can’t see how these bands are considered metal, or even hard rock. But, then, I can’t see how they would be considered anything other than “awful.”
Breathe Carolina, “Diamonds”
