Zakk Wylde Unveils Signature…Burger?

Guitarist/singer Zakk Wylde has unveiled a signature hamburger entitled The Berzerker Burger. The hefty meat, cheese, bacon, and more burger features a skull branded into the top bun and it actually looks pretty damn delicious. It also looks like something that would give me a mild heart attack were I to eat a whole one. That being said, I love me a good burger, so the next time I visit Los Angeles, I’m grabbing one.

The Berzerker Burger is available at Grill ‘Em All in Alhambra, CA. Head one below to see a video of the unveiling day. READ MORE

[Review] Adrenaline Mob ‘Omertá’

 [Review] Adrenaline Mob Omertá
Comprised of some of the most talented musicians in the rock/metal scene, Adrenaline Mob has a lot going for it. After all, it’s Mike Portnoy (ex-drummer of Dream Theater), Russell Allen (singer of Symphony X), John Moyer (bassist of Disturbed), and guitarist Mike Orlando. With that kind of line-up, you gotta wonder what the final product is going to sound like. Dream Theater and Symphony X? Hell yeah! It’s gonna be some intense prog metal! But wait, Disturbed? So, it’s gonna have some commercial heavy rock appeal? And Mike Orlando, who played with Zakk Wylde and Bumblefoot, which means we’ll likely hear some shredding. 
Is this the final product? Is this the sound that the band delivers? And, ultimately, is it all worth it? Find out below.

William Shatner Must Be Joking

Okay William Shatner, I gave you the benefit of the doubt with Iron Man, but now watching you do vocals, this has got to be some cosmic joke, right? Not only are you singing out of tune but whoever did your video can’t even spell “album” right? What the hell is an “ablum”? 

Readers, watch the video after the jump for a good laugh.

Who Wants To Hear William Shatner Sing ‘Iron Man’?

William Shatner, to some, is a man who can do no wrong. From Star Trek to Priceline to Airplane II to Twilight Zone, Shatner has become less of an actor and more of a cultural icon. Now, the icon wants to enter the music scene by putting out a 2-disc album called Seeking Major Tom consisting of covers and one original. After the jump, you can hear Captain Kirk do his rendition of Black Sabbath‘s classic track Iron Man, which features Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne) on guitars. Also after the jump is the full track list of Shatner’s Seeking Major Tom.
