In theory, I should hate a band that has adopted the gimmick of being completely Star Wars-themed, but I’m a Star Wars dork and have enjoyed Buckethead’s renditions of John Williams’ awesome score many times in the past. So I’m gonna give a free pass to the UK’s Anchorhead, who not only do metal versions of Wiliams’ music, but apparently play dressed as various Star Wars characters. Seriously. Take a look:
I can’t believe that there’s going to be a new Hellyeah album. I honestly thought we’d be rid of this insipid band after one phoned-in cash-in. I guess I don’t have any real reason to be too upset though, as not only will I never ever never listen to this record, but I honestly don’t know anyone else who ever will either.
In any case, here are some things I’d rather hear than new “music” from Hellyeah:
It wasn’t that long ago that we interviewed The Red Chord bassist Greg Weeks via e-mail, but since a) that interview turned out to be one of the best we’ve ever done and b) we love The Red Chord, we just couldn’t resist the chance to sit down with vocalist Guy Kozowyk at the Long Island stop of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. Guy was happy, or at least very good at pretending to be happy, to talk to us about the tour, playing in front of such huge crowds, and the already legendary Ladder Up an Ass project, but, like his bandmate, he was also cool enough to humor Axl Rosenberg when he asked a stupid question on behalf of his girlfriend. Check out the full transcript of our chat after the jump.
