STORIES I KNOW I’M SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT

Did you know that we have lives outside of the metal world? It’s true! And sometimes, that life gets distracting. I LOVE writing for MetalSucks more than I love certain members of my mother’s family, but like any job, there are gonna be days when there’s some out-of-office shit going on and it’s really hard to just sit at your desk and concentrate.

Alas, today is one of those days. Thus, I present four stories that you might find of interest, but about which I have little to say. My sincerest apologies.

• Axl Rose is suing his former manager for trying to get him to reunite with the old GN’R, and for calling him by his birth name, “William.” Yeah, that’s reasonable. ‘Cause every time Vince calls me by my given name, I cry and consult with my attorney.
• Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood are gonna star in a horror movie. The film will tell the terrifying tale of an aging rock-star who somehow convinces a young Hollywood starlet to sleep with him and… oh, wait. That’s real life. Nevvvvvvver mind.
• Limp Bizkit have postponed their summer tour. Allegedly it’s because of in-fighting amongst the promoters, and to allow the band to move the shows to bigger venues in more citites, but since one of those excuses has absolutely nothing to do with the other, I think we all really know what happened: Wes Borland got an offer to go teach a guitar clinic in Maldives.
• Whitechapel are streaming a new song. Adjectives describing subjective opinions about the music here. Release date and record label here.

Is it too early to start drinking?
