Looks like Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden is more useful in rescuing his fellow countrymen than the Canadian government is proving to be. The Maiden singer, a licensed commercial pilot(who knew?) evacuated some fellot British citizens from Cyprus due to the fighting in the region. "He was only too keen to get involved and help," said a friend of Dickinson's. "He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about what is going on." Good on him. At least this doesn't reek of a publicity stunt like some of the Hurricane Katrina celebs piling into the American Deep South last year. [buzzgrinder]
The mightly Stretch Arm Strong's video for 'Faces'(from last year's Free At Last) is up on their website. This whole album is awesome.
A noted buddy of mine has said the album sucks, but I love Helmet nonetheless, am very stoked to see them on Warped next month, and think that all y'all should check out their new songs over here! Yeah!!
Listen up, Myspace kids: Fall Out Boy, though bassist/spokesman Pete Wentz has stressed that they're pushing for it, will not have a new album out by the end of 2006. I can hear the soft weeping already.
Whoa, hold everything: MxPx, following the success of last year's Panic!, have posted a clip of a new song over here called 'The Setting Sun'. Excellent.
It was a few months ago, but Dillinger Escape Plan frontman Greg Puciato has never been one to mince words, and it's no less funny now. Observe - his commentary on Avenged Sevenfold: "Horrible. Absolutely horrible. I saw them the other day on TV, with their aviators and their $200 jeans made to look beat up and old, and then I heard their music, and I'm like 'How do kids like this stuff? This stuff is absolutely horrible.' I hate how they pretend to try and be like some throwback band to the hair metal of the '80s or something like that. It feels like a persona to me, something that is far from genuine. It's an image. They opened for us on the Take Action! Tour, and they were drinking our drinks and eating food from our table. I mean, none of us really drink, but venues or promoters or something will give us alcohol. None of us really touched it, but then like these kids come in and start drinking our stuff, and that's just disrespectful."
Nice.
