Like many of you, what keeps me up at night are thoughts like \u201cWhat happened in the metal world on the first week of December in 2002?\u201d Sleep easy friends, because I gathered the best of the best.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

True \u2018murican Billy Milano (S.O.D<\/strong>) slammed Serj Tankian<\/strong> and Tom Morello<\/strong> for being anti-American pieces of shit for criticizing President Bush. He used the whole \u201cyou became successful because of America, so you\u2019re not allowed to criticize it\u201d defense.\u00a0He also included this gem of a comment<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Everyone has the right to an opinion in these matters \u2014 it’s what makes our country so great. But formulate your opinions without being a hypocrite about it. Christopher Reeve (Superman) only cared about stem cell research after his injury. Again \u2014 how convenient! Does anyone see a trend?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Motorhead<\/strong> drummer Mikkey Dee<\/strong> had some crude remarks<\/a> for Hammerfall<\/strong>, calling them Helloween<\/strong>, Iron Maiden<\/strong>, and King Diamond<\/strong> ripoffs. But he\u2019s also friends with some of them. So he\u2019s happy they are successful, but not sure how they got there? I\u2019m not sure where he was going with his argument.<\/p>\n

So I’m glad for Magnus, and I’m glad for Anders. And Stefan [Elmgren] is a good guy, the bald guitar player, he’s good, but [Hammerfall vocalist] Joacim [Cans] and [guitarist] Oscar [Dronjak], they can suck my cock. Because they really think they’re god’s gift to the planet…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong> concert turned into a riot<\/a> when the venue announced that they would not perform due to \u201cillness\u201d. The worst part is that the crowd was just standing there for two hours after the second supporting act finished. At least they got to see CKY<\/strong>. I found this picture of the trashed arena:<\/p>\n

\"guns-n-roses\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Holy shit. Now this is a good find<\/a>. I\u2019m just going to post the full quoted text and let you admire it:<\/p>\n

“The great thing about Slipknot<\/strong> is it is one of those bands that if it hangs out too long, it will not be cool at all,” Taylor said. “So we do what we do with Slipknot. I think Slipknot has one more album in it, and then we’ll call it a day. ‘Cause if we overstay our welcome, people are going to start to turn on it. Stone Sour<\/strong>, on the other hand, I think, has 10 or 15 years in it, just for the fact that we can do anything. The bad thing about Slipknot is we kind of painted ourselves into a corner, with Stone Sour all bets are off.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
