Carmine Appice and Nikki Sixx Aren’t Friends Anymore, Jason Newsted is “Proud” of Metallica, and More Top Stories of the Week

A lot of shit went down this past week and we’re here to get you up to speed with some of the more pressing pieces of news, insightful reviews, and all sorts of other shit we had on the ol’ MetalSucks the last few days.

This past Thursday was 4/20, so naturally we had some stoner content to help our faded brothers and sisters not only find the best modern stoner metal tunes to listen to, but also to find the best movie to watch. Those articles alone are worth your attention, even if you don’t partake of the devil’s lettuce.

So check out the top stories below and then click around on the site to see the other stories that didn’t make the list. We put a lot of work into that other shit too, ya know.
