Gutterdämmerung is the “Loudest Silent Movie on Earth”

JonathanBarkan — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:31:01 +0000

Well, this looks like it’s utterly badass!

Metal and film are colliding in a very new and exciting way with Bjorn Tagamose’s Gutterdämmergun, a “mostly silent” film that features some of the biggest names in rock and metal history, such as Iggy Pop (who looks freakin’ sweet as a demon-esque creature), Henry Rollins, Slash, and more!

“Much in the tradition of classic movies of 1920’s Hollywood, the film is mostly silent but instead of a lone piano a live rock band express the emotions and action whilst special effects from the film explode to life all around the audience.”

The synopsis reads:

The forthcoming loud and dark fairytale Gutterdämmerung is a new rock ‘n’ roll / film / gig concept from the mind of Belgian-Swedish visual artist Bjorn Tagemose. Gutterdämmerung is part rock show part immersive cinema experience featuring some of the biggest rock names on the planet

Gutterdämmerung stars Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, Eagles Of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes, Motörhead’s Lemmy, Tom Araya, Mark Lanegan, Volbeat, Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme, Justice, Nina Hagen and Slash.

Currently, the only show scheduled is on November 12th at the London O2 Arena. Tickets can be purchased here.

For all you metalheads who have been desperately wanting some new reading material while you do your holy business on your porcelain throne, authors Howie Abrams and Sacha Jenkins may very well have provided you with your next big thing: The Merciless Book Of Metal Lists!

There will also be lists from Metal Blade CEO Brian Slagel, Eddie Trunk, Monte Conner, and many more.

Foo Fighters Annouce First Run US Tour Dates

JonathanBarkan — Wed, 18 May 2011 07:48:12 +0000

Alright, I’m gonna put it out there: I love Foo Fighters. Do they have the best music out there? No way. Are they the most musically talented group of individuals on the planet? No way in hell. But you know what? They obviously know how to have fun. Just look at the video below for White Limo. They got Lemmy from Motorhead to drive them around while they scream and vomit everywhere. That automatically gets a thumbs up from me.

Anyways, now that you’ve watched and appreciated that video (you better have…), get ready to check out Foo Fighters as they tour the US this fall! The first run dates have been announced and you can check them out after the jump!

Ozzy Osbourne Releasing Reissues Of Blizzard Of Ozz & Diary Of A Madman

JonathanBarkan — Tue, 10 May 2011 09:33:15 +0000

Say whatever you will about Ozzy Osbourne, but the man is the Prince of Darkness and he has been a part of creating some of the greatest metal the world has ever heard. Sure, at this point in his career, he’s doing Best Buy ads with Justin Bieber, but think of his glory days, such as when Diary of a Madman or Blizzard of Ozz came out. Well, you can relive those days on May 31st in much better audio quality! Both of those albums are going to be reissued with special editions made available. You can even order a super special edition, which comes with a full size replica of Ozzy’s cross here. While you wait, you can check out a really cool trailer after the jump, which features statements from Lemmy (Motorhead), Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society), and more.

Foo Fighters Release Video For Rope

JonathanBarkan — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 10:31:54 +0000

Foo Fighters are coming back strong on April 12th with a new record entitled Wasting Light. Below you can check out the second video from the album for the song Rope. Personally, I think it’s a fun song, but the video, which was directed by Dave Grohl, isn’t nearly as awesome as the White Limo video with Lemmy.

Motörhead’s Lemmy Drives Foo Fighters Around In ‘White Limo’

JonathanBarkan — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 02:08:04 +0000

The Foo Fighters are releasing a new album this April and have released their first single, ‘White Limo’, in anticipation. The video is filmed to look like it was done in the late 80’s/early 90’s and features the band being driven around by Motörhead’s Lemmy in, yup, you guessed it, a white limo. It’s worth checking out for how ridiculous the band gets, especially Dave Grohl.
