    Also, the non-Metallica songs look pretty nifty:

    Alice in Chains: No Excuses"

    Bob Seger: "Turn the Page (live)"

    Corrosion of Conformity: "Albatross"

    Diamond Head: "Am I Evil?"

    Foo Fighters: "Stacked Actors"

    Judas Priest: "Hell Bent for Leather"

    KYUSS: "Demon Cleaner"

    Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Tuesday's Goneâ€

    Machine Head: "Beautiful Mourning"

    Mastodon: "Blood and Thunder"

    Mercyful Fate: "Evil"

    Michael Schenker Group: "Armed and Ready"

    Motörhead: "Ace of Spades"

    Queen: "Stone Cold Crazy"

    SAMHAIN: "Mother of Mercy"

    SLAYER: "War Ensemble"

    Social Distortion: "Mommy's Little Monster (live)"

    SUICIDAL TENDENCIES: "War Inside My Head"

    System of a Down: "Toxicity"

    The Sword: "Black River"

    Thin Lizzy: "The Boys Are Back in Town"

    Now, what if Phish were to put out a Guitar Hero package that includes a dinky keyboard to play along with Page? Sounds cheesy? Not heady enough? I think it'd be a hoot! Besides album cuts, they could include choice live versions, (ie, Great Went's Bathtub), rock out at special venues (Nectar's, Amy's Farm, MSG, Alpine).

  2. if you like Kings of Leon, and had the opportunity to see the Killers (being not too familiar with them), would it be in your musical interest to attend? Do they put on good live shows?

    I'm not familiar with any group and someone in Europe is asking my opinion but before I give a biased one, I'd like to hear the other side of the coin...

  3. Ticketmaster lawsuit off limits for B.C. residents

    With no anti-scalping laws, B.C. can't follow $500-million Ontario class action suit

    By Amy O'Brian, Vancouver Sun

    February 10, 2009

    Angry ticket buyers in British Columbia will not be able to join a $500-million class action lawsuit against Ticketmaster, which has been reselling tickets at marked-up rates under the name TicketsNow.

    The lawsuit was filed Monday in Ontario and is based on that province's anti-scalping legislation, which says it is illegal to sell tickets for more than face value.

    But because B.C. has no similar legislation, people in this province have little recourse.

    "I sympathize entirely," said Luciana Brasil, a Vancouver-based lawyer at Branch MacMaster, which often partners with Windsor-based firm, Sutts, Strosberg LLP. The two firms filed the suit.

    "We're bringing the lawsuit based on very specific anti-scalping legislation, which exists in Ontario. We're probably also going to expand to Alberta and Manitoba, where they have the same type of legislation, but unfortunately in B.C. there is no law that prohibits scalping."

    The lawsuit was filed in Toronto on behalf of Toronto resident Henryk Krajewski, who his lawyers say paid more than $500 for two tickets to see the Smashing Pumpkins after he tried to buy them for their $130 face value on Ticketmaster's main website. After being denied the tickets on Ticketmaster, he was redirected to TicketsNow, which resells tickets at marked-up prices, but is owned by Ticketmaster.

    The lawsuit takes issue not only with Ticketmaster reselling its tickets at higher rates on TicketsNow, but also challenges the corporation on its practice of charging "convenience fees" on tickets.

    "The law [in Ontario] says you cannot sell tickets for a price that exceeds the price at which the ticket was first issued," said Brasil.

    "And in our view, because you have to pay those fees and charges to get the ticket, in reality, you're paying more for the ticket than the face value."

    Valerie MacLean, executive director of the B.C. Crime Prevention Association, says scalping in this province puts the consumer at risk.

    "It's a consumer protection issue. The tickets people purchase [from scalpers] may not be valid," she said.

    "Why isn't scalping illegal in B.C.?"

    A representative for B.C. Solicitor-General John van Dongen said Monday that the ministry is researching the issue of anti-scalping legislation.

    Public outrage over Ticketmaster's practices is not new in Vancouver. The Vancouver Sun was flooded with complaints last September when tickets to the AC/DC concert at GM Place sold out in four minutes. And as fast as the $99 tickets disappeared from Ticketmaster's main site, they reappeared on TicketsNow for prices in the $500 range. A few days later, tickets were going for as much as $1,318 each.

    Brasil suggests people angered by Ticketmaster's practices lobby their provincial politicians.

    "I think people would be really upset with their politicians if it comes to a situation where a person who lives in Ontario is protected

    . . . and then British Columbians still have to pay more," she said.

    "I'd be surprised if people wouldn't be very upset about that and lobby vigorously."

  4. The documentary just came out this week. Check it out Ollie.

    I rented that last night! I'm in awe at the amount of raw footage and the number of bands it explores. FORBIDDEN! KREATOR! and props for the chapter honoring Suicidal Tendencies!!

    The live footage from the DRI+Anthrax+Possessed gig with 5 simultaneous separate circle pits looked absolutely insane!

  5. They mention how at the Clash of the Titans tour (Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax) Death Angel had to cancel as an opener so Alice in Chains got the spot.

    Interesting; I actually attended Clash of the Titans at the CNE and if I recall correctly, Alice in Chains got boo'd consistently. Perhaps at the time they were gaining some MTV ground in the US, but in Canada, their opening set fell on deaf ignorant ears.

  6. I've listened to a few tracks, and, despite James' voice has gone dunzo, there's some serious shredding going on (particularly The Judas Kiss, and the instrumental Suicide and Redemption).

    Check out the video for The Day That Never Comes. "Lame" has a new meaning!
