The comedian and co-star of The Sarah Silverman Program will release a new stand up album titled Fart and Wiener Jokes on April 27 via Relapse Records. The follow [...]

The most pressing concerns with Slayer’s tour shuffling should obviously be with Tom Araya’s health and fans left in limbo while the Megadeth/Testament tour works out scheduling, but it also creates significant doubt for those who thought a North American “Big Four” of Thrash tour was not only possible in 2010, but imminent. With the [...]

While there’s been a ton of talk about the “Big Four” tour (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax), none of the bands have directly addressed it… until now. Metallica made a post about on their site today suggesting that their Sonisphere appearance in Europe this summer is the start of something more. You’ve been posting and chatting about [...]

There’s been a rumor floating around the interwebs the past few months about a “Big Four” tour featuring Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. It turns out they were half right – Slayer and Megadeth will be joined by Testament for the American Carnage tour, kicking off January 18 in Chicago. It’ll be the first time [...]

We don’t watch the allegedly funny hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. Call us comedy elitists, but we’re more Curb Your Enthusiasm/Office/30 Rock/It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia kind of guys.

Until now, we’d heard more about the endless legal battles over the game than the game itself, but the just-released track listing just gave it even more metal cred. Sure, we know that Jack Black, Lemmy, Ozzy, Rob Halford and more lent their voices [...]

It’s been one hell of a summer for band feuds, and between Fear Factory, Anthrax/Dan Nelson and Ozzy/Zakk, you can imagine my exhaustion. I’m just too worn out from all this to process some press-driven drama about Scott Ian spreading rumors to Dave Mustaine about Lars Ulrich possibly nearly being kicked out of Metallica over [...]

Scott Ian is sticking to his story and insists that Anthrax vocalist Dan Nelson was not fired, but quit the band after informing Anthrax that he was seriously ill. While the Fear Factory drama has remained fairly entertaining, I’m already tired of this Anthrax story. Here’s the exerpt from Ian’s exclusive interview with Metal Hammer: We [...]

Yesterday’s story of the departure of Anthrax Vocalist Dan Nelson following a battle with a mystery “serious illness” was both sensible and/or shady, depending on how you look at it. Something was just off about the whole thing, and now it’s just plain bizarre. Nelson has released a statement denying any illness, claiming On the [...]
