Wednesday marks the official start of the 2012 NFL season (Giants vs Cowboys, 7:30pm), and we all know that this season will be an interesting one for the New Orleans Saints. In the aftermath of "Bountygate", head coach Sean Payton is suspended for the season, several players and coaches are out for at least a few games - and Linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the entire season.
The show is over. The crowd has gone home. Ever wonder how the stars of the show unwind after the chaos of a traveling festival? Is it all groupies, booze, and decadence?
When you hear a KISS song, you automatically think football, right? Maybe not, but if you're looking for a band to open your football telecasts, I'd take KISS over Faith Hill every time. Unless Faith is in her underwear. Or a wet t-shirt. But, I digress.
If you've ever wanted to be in a music video, this is your lucky day! And you don't have to leave the comfort of home (office, classroom, wherever you happen to be right now). Linkin Park has made it possible for you and your friends to pop up in the video for "Lost in the Echo", their new single from 'Living Things'.
Yes, there really is a 'World Championship' for air guitar. Is it a talent contest? Is it a sport? Does it matter? Over 5,000 people showed up at the city center in Oulu, Finland to watch the 17th Air Guitar World Championship. That's right, it's actually happened SIXTEEN TIMES BEFORE!!! And it's not an Olympic sport yet? WTF?!?!?
Last year, Korn released 'The Path of Totality', a mashup of dubstep and metal that reinvigorated a band entering their 3rd decade together.
In case you missed it, there's a Hurricane in the Gulf. Its name is Issac, and it's headed to New Orleans. With all the media coverage, it's easy to become confused as to what you can expect, and what you need to do to get ready for eventual landfall. I have found that the best thing to do is to break it down into terms even the lowest common denominator can understand.
He's no Man of Steel. He doesn't drive a cool car like Batman. Hell, this guy even makes the Green Lantern look tough. But in Perth, Australia, he's a true hero.
'The Avengers' hits DVD and Blue Ray on September 25th, and with that less than a month away, Marvel has released an alternate opening sequence.
The third and final 2012 date for the mostly-reunited Black Sabbath went down earlier this month at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and video of the entire show has finally popped up online.
Metal fans are rejoicing! Mothers are taking away their teenage daughters video privileges! Puff is pawing himself in delight! The new Steel Panther Concert DVD "The British Invasion" is finished, and is scheduled for release on September 28th in Australia and New Zealand, with a U.S. release date TBA (WTF?!?!?!).
