Dear Hollywood, Stop It!

It is pretty apparent that Hollywood has been running good ideas for years. Stop remaking movies!

Remaking cheesy movies would only show how clueless Hollywood is.

It’s an Overkill, but we are still wanting more.

The show might have been dubbed as The Big 4, but there jam should have been called The Big 5. At Yankees Stadium in Bronx, members of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and Exodus performed “Overkill”, a Motorhead’s classic. Yes, Exodus member Gary Holt who is filling in for Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman was on stage jamming with the other 4 bands. At the end of the song, Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benante took turns on the drums. Note to Lars Ulrich, now that’s the proper way to play drum.

  • James Hetfield
  • Kirk Hammett
  • Rob Trujillo
  • Lars Ulrich
  • Kerry King
  • Dave Lombardo
  • Gary Holt
  • David Ellefson
  • Chris Broderick
  • Shawn Drover
  • Joey Belladona
  • Scott Ian
  • Rob Caggiano
  • Frank Bello
  • Charlie Benante

Not sure If I saw Dave Mustaine, Tom Araya or Jeff Hanneman.

p.s. I see my friend Willie Gee on stage again with The Big Four.

Thor, Anthrax and Dream Theater.

It is September 13th, 2011 and it’s time to spend some hard earned cash on entertainments.

As I have mentioned it before, I was planning to get new records from Anthrax and Dream Theater today. As I walked in the store I found out that Thor is also released today. There goes $50 out of my pocket.

I have yet to open any of the packages, so I won’t be doing any reviews. Then again I won’t be doing any reviews after I actually listens and watch them because I’m way too lazy.

Anthrax – Worship Music

  • New album with Joey Belladona who was out of Anthrax after Persistence of Time.
  • Anthrax played a show at Best Buy Theater in New York under the Moniker Satan’s Lounge Band on Monday September 12th, 2011.
  • Anthrax along with Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica will play The Big 4 show at Yankee’s Stadium on Wednesday September 14th, 2011 at 4:00 PM.

Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn of Events

  • A Dramatic Turn of Events is the first Dream Theater record without founding member Mike Portnoy.
  • It is also the first with new drummer Mike Mangini.
  • Three editions are available:

Thor

  • Thor is played by Chris Hemsworth, who also played George Kirk in 2010’s Star Trek.
  • There’s Natalie Portman in it.
  • I have not watched the movie yet, not even in the theater.
  • Three editions of the movie are sold in most stores.

Metallica performed at Dreamforce convention.

This is where Tech news intersects with Music News. Metallica performed at Dreamforce convention in Moscone Center, San Francisco on August 31st, 2011. Metallica was giving away tickets in the hundreds through the Met Club.

Set list can be found at Blabbermouth.net.

In somewhat related “news”, Leo Laporte attempted to sing “Battery” and “Enter Sandman” on TWiT 316.

p.s. What if Dreamforce ’12 would feature Dragonforce? Make it the D-force conference!
