Another Dumb Ass List
of Yahoo recently took the time to put together the 25 Worst Hair Metal bands of all time, for his List Of The Day blog. The great thing about list is the fact that they almost always seem to spark some sort of debate or discussion. This list though, comes across as being written by somebody who doesn’t really know much about the subject and that makes the list come across as stupid.
The biggest problem of the list is putting Poison #1.
That seems to be the safe pick, for everybody. You mean to tell me that Poison were worse than Trixter or Slaughter or Winger? Winger isn’t even on the list, but I’ll get to that later. By putting Poison #1, it proves that he really knows nothing about the type of music. Yet the average music fan listens to this opinion, because he must know what he’s talking about. After all it’s his job to know, right?
The next huge mistake was putting Skid Row #2.
Yes, Sebastian Bach is an arrogant egotistical jack-off, but Skid Row aren’t a hair metal band. I know they get lumped into the category, but they shouldn’t. It’s kind of like in the mid 90’s when every band that came out of Seattle was grunge. Seriously, who in the hell really thought that Candlebox or the Screaming Trees were grunge. So again to say that Skid Row is “hair metal” is wrong and to say that they were worse than Bad English, Bullet Boys or Slaughter is ridiculous.
The other problem I have with the list is the bands that were left off. How does Winger miss making the list.
How about Nelson, Faster Pussycat, or Kix? These bands not only should have made the list, but they should have been way above Poison, Skid Row and Whitesnake. I wish when people make a list they would actually put a little thought into it and not just take the easy route and throw the safe picks at the top.
I’m sure Rob O’Connor is a knowledgeable guy, but this list would suggest otherwise.
Falling Down On Her Face
The new music video and debut single for the song Falling Down by actress Scarlett Johansson has been released.
That’s right she’s now a singer and is releasing an album, Anywhere I lay my head. The video’s stupid, to me it seems as if she’s complaining about being a famous actress. If she doesn’t want to be a big movie star, then stay out of movies.
As far as the song goes, I’m not really getting it. Her voice sounds odd and not in a good way for me. She kind of resembles a week version of Sinead O’Connor. Hearing this, makes me think that like most actresses turned singer, her vocals needed a lot of help. It’s like they thought the best way to help her was by making the music overpower her and and giving her voice an odd sound. This may have worked in the 80’s (remember Martika), but it’s just not very good for this era of music. People are tired of shitty music
I’m not a big fan of Johansson to begin with and find her to be funy looking, so maybe I’m biased. I feel that I gave the song a fair try though and I still think it sucks. This is just another blow to the music industry. There are plenty of good aspiring artists that are never given a break and yet this funny looking Hollywood bitch, gets to put out an album. So now, Scarlett Johansson, Hillary Duff, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Brooke Hogan and countless of other Hollywood “Hotties” have released albums. This is why the people don’t pay for Cd’s anymore.
I just wish at the end of the video Michael Doughlas would have come and beat her with a baseball bat.
Wacko + His Kids = Distraction
Michael Jackson has banned his adopted white kids children from the recording studio while he works on his comeback album. Interestingly enough, the ban is for his kids and never mentions anybody else’s kids. After all, he has to get inspiration somewhere.
Great Live Performance
Last night, the 2008 Grammy Awards were handed out. The awards provided no real surprises, but the show did gives us a couple of great performances.
Monday Night Metal 2-11
This edition of Monday Night Metal features some of my favorite bands from the 90’s. Check out videos from White Zombie, Megadeth and Biohazard.
Spiezio Rocks
St. Louis Cardinals fan favorite and utility player Scott Spiezio is not only a clutch hitter of the bench, but he is also a hard rocker. Do you think he has a career after baseball?
Chris Martin Clocks The Paparazzi
The paparazzi finally messed with the wrong person and they got taken down.

American Idol is back and so are the freaks. It’s only been two episodes and we have already gotten a birdman and stalker to go along with the usual freaks.
80’s Pop With A Metal Twist
Have you ever wondered what some of your favorite 80’s pop songs would sound like if they were metal songs? Well, wonder no more.
Hear ‘N Theremin
Certain sounds remind us of particular movies or time periods. We only need to hear the first explosive blast of horns to recognize the Star Wars fanfare, and the tinny sound of Moog synthesizers whisk us back to the buddy comedies of the mid-eighties.
Few instruments represent their time period better than the theremin, a mystical musical machine that everyone recognizes by sound, but few understand in application.
The Cavalera Conspiracy
Brothers and former members of heavy metal band Sepultura have made amends and are back with a new band.

Celine Dion Is Fucking Crazy
I fucking hate Celine Dion. I think it’s safe to say that I’m not the only one that feels this way. Everything she does pisses me off, and for the life of me I can’t understand why people like her. Can somebody please tell me why she’s so popular?
Are You Sikth Enough?
Have you ever wanted to be a singer? Fuck American Idol, here’s your chance.
Barbie Loves The Ace Of Spades
Are you a fan of Motorhead and the song Ace Of Spaces? I guarantee you have never seen to it performed like this.

Erasure Was Always Weird
The gay British synth-pop group Erasure produced some pretty good dance songs in the 80’s, but their most popular song may be a song from the 1994, Always. The song was a big hit and produced one of the weirdest video of the year. These days the spend their time playing gay and lesbian festivals. Remember this one?
