On Metal Trololo

so i have found another pretty epic video. for those of you who are net surfers and youtube freaks you probably have heard of the Trololo dude. if not, he's basically this dude from like the 70's who sang this really odd song. he recently passed away and this man decided to pay tribute to him in the form of a metal guitar solo. this is probably one of my fave things ive seen someone play with a guitar. below is the original Mr. Trololo and next to that is the metal cover.

On Alice Cooper Covering Lady Gaga

so i was browsing musicfails when i came across this lil video. Alice Cooper Covers "Born this way". well i like Alice and i like positive-gay-rights-pop-songs and i like Lady Gaga so i took a listen. this is pretty....interesting. i dont think i've ever seen this many black clad kids get this happy a pop song thats not from the 80's. as far as covers go, this was pretty good. i liked it all rocked up and better yet Gaga herself was there dressed as a member of Cooper, wailing on a guitar. now of course Alice isn't a girl nor is he a gay. but he is a strange lil man who likes to wear dark make up and chop his own head off. so natural he had to put his own twist on it. "Called my self Alice and surprised my dad. he just didn't understand.i worn my make up, i acted bad,but it was all just part of the plan.to be a freak is not a sin!there's not that we can't do....I'm beautiful in my way,cuz god makes no mistakes,i'm on the right track baby i was born this way!" let me tell you this was a show worth going to. Gaga killed it on guitar out there and Alice did a perfect cover of this song that fit to his crowd and himself as well. i hope to see Gaga playing with more big rock stars like this. also as a side note, she has also done a remix of her song "Love Game" with Marilyn Manson that is also out-of-this-world-freaky-good. i give this a 5 out of 5 and am dying for much more from the Queen Monster.

on Born Villain

i first learned of this video thru twitter and new i had to look more into it. the short film was directed by actor Shia LaBeouf. the video is quoted to be a "trailer" for Marilyn Manson's eighth stuido album. before having seen the video i believed it would be more like any other "behind the scenes" type vidoe.....i was sooo wrong. this is one of those typical artsy films. its like "A Choirs Line" meets "Saw". weird, demented scenes of Manson cutting up people, stiching em back up and strange close ups of unknown scenes. then there are these two minuet clips where Manson says something that should be profound, but when spoken just sounds like the ramblings of a mad man. all in all, this is a very weird (in a bad way)artsy film that boared the living hell out of me. i love you and all Mr. Manson, but that film sucked balls. i give it a 1 out of 5. check out the film at bornvillain.com 

clash! 80's metal vs. 90's metal

alright. here's the first clash. 80's metal vs. 90's metal. now im going to give my ideas on both 80's and 90's metal, then you get to your ideas on them and then ill post the winner.

80's metal-
so here's what needs to be said about the metal coming outta the 80's, it was all chick music. now dont get me wrong here, im a girl and i love motle crue and poison, but can we really call this metal? it was hard and edgy and talked about sex, drugs, and murder. but rock talks bout this kinda stuff too. now was this really metal or just over'll glammed rock? as hot as they were and as loud as they were, i dont really know if we can consiter them metal.

90's metal-
90's. what a great time. Nirvana and non-crazy Britteny Spears. this was the time when Metalica was going strong. thrash metal was taking over; Korn, Metalica, then came grung; Alice in chains, Nirvana. they were loud, crazy, dark, and creepy all things metal is made of. if you wanted something to bang your head to, these were the artist for you. this was only the start of metal becoming harder and louder. before it had been closer to rock, but now it was more mascaline.
