Gossip #116

Chad “Horseface” Kroeger from Nickelback is being sued for assaulting a heckler outside a bar in Vancouver, BC. (http://www.chartattack.com/news/69225/chad-kroeger-sued-for-assaulting-heckler) Personally, I don’t see how telling Chad Kroeger that Nickelback sucks could be considered heckling any more than telling Clint Eastwood he was in Dirty Harry or telling shit it stinks. It’s just stating a commonly known fact. But I guess Chad didn’t want to respect the dude’s First Amendment rights (or whatever their weird Canadian version is called), so he pulled a Scott Stapp and punched the observant furniture salesman right in the face. The ass-kickee, Noah Christian Morse, is claiming he suffered “suffered a concussion or brain injury involving a loss of consciousness, dental injuries and discolouration, permanent scars to his face, headaches, sleeplessness, anxiety, moodiness and loss of concentration.” Yeah, I’d be pretty fucking moody too if I got owned by the lead singer of Nickelback in front of my friends. It’s not all bad news for Chad, though. Looks like he’ll finally be back on the open road again after getting sidelined by a DUI last year. You know, because what the world really needs right now is another dork in a mullet cruising around in a tacky-ass Lamborghini.

Did you ever ask yourself what would have happened if whoever dropped the mutagen in the sewer and created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles missed the turtles and hit a group of turds that were floating around instead? Well, it DID happen and the freakish results of that accident started this band. They’re called Hollywood Undead and, needless to say, when we saw this video our jaws dropped right through the floor and are tunneling their way towards China as we speak. We would have just embedded the video except Hollywood Undead apparently asked for the embed links to be removed from youtube. Slick move pussies, I guess even you realized how bad everyone with computer access was gonna go to town on you when you put this shit out. How could this happen? Did the dudes from Brokencyde get impregnated by Slipknot, Junior-style and squeeze out these abominations, masks already on? Pretty positive Randy Rhodes has been doing helicopters in his grave ever since this public service announcement for why abortions should remain legal used his signature guitar riff in that beat. Things are getting worse all the time, kids. If you guys need us, we’ll be on top of the Hollywood sign with sniper rifles.

So Travis Barker almost died in a plane crash earlier this year. Since the crash all three members of Blink 182 have grown closer and have really come to realize that if one of them dies in a freak plane accident, that there’s no way All Tomorrow’s Parties is gonna ask them to reform and play “Dude Ranch” in it’s entirety! The blow the art community would suffer from the lose of just one member of Blink 182 would huge! So with that in his mind, Guitarist/douchebag Tom DeLonge had this to say about the new Blink 182 song (they’re making a new song, by the way):

“It’s got a little bit of (Pink) Floyd, a little bit of Rush, a little bit of Blink in there. It’s crazy, but it somehow sounds exactly like where we left off (in 2005). It’s an amazing song.”

Yeah, it’s funny you mention Pink Floyd, Tom, because I was just listening to “Dark Side Of The Moon” last night and couldn’t help but notice all the striking similarities it had to “Take Off Your Pants And Jacket” (though the Blink record syncs up a lot better to “Two Girls One Cup” than The Wizard of Oz). I even had to stop and make sure I put the right CD in. Yeah, we still have cds. Seriously though, there’s not a drug that powerful in the world that could make Blink 182 even vaguely resemble Pink Floyd. Trust us, we’ve tried em. Syd Barrett would be spinning in his grave right now if he weren’t still tripping his face off. Roger’s still alive though, and I’m pretty sure he could beat the shit out of you even though he’s probably in his 80s by now. As for the Rush comparison, well, we already know you sing like a six year old girl, so no surprise there. To be fair, though, I have been taking your words out of context. You know, the context of your head being stuffed all the way up your own colon, as you clearly demonstrate in this video:

So Courtney Love is “getting Hole back together”. Cept she’s the only original member. Yeah, that’s right, no Eric Erlandson. Some poser named Micko Larkin is playing guitar. Yeah, you got it… basically Courtney Love took ANOTHER idea from Bill Corgan and pulled a Smashing Pumpkin. You sly fox you Courtney. First you get the guy to have sex with you (somehow), then your husband blows his brains out cuz he finds out you’re fucking a weird bald dude, then you get Billy to write your songs for you and now yer cherry pickin’ his “reform the band people liked from the 90s even though the other members fuckin’ hate me” idea. Everyone’s totally gonna fall for that one! Yeah, so now Courtney’s new record “Nobody’s Daughter” is gonna be the fourth Hole LP. Eric, let’s grab some beers dude.. call us. For the record, as much as I don’t wanna admit that Courtney Love news amuses me, whenever she opens her mouth I can’t help but perk up my ears and wait for the explosion! Yeah, I know it’s bad. She’s a really bad person that killed Kurt Cobain one way or another. Her diarrhetic borderline retarded self indulgent rants makes my skin crawl. But as much as I don’t want to admit it, when it comes down to it Courtney is just that car wreck on the side of the 101 to me. No matter what you’re gonna rubberneck the tangled mess of metal and glass. Check out what diarrhea of the mouth sounds like here:

Remaining on the subject of ladies: ever noticed that when a group of girls pick up instruments and play anything besides pop or some Lilith Faire shit the indie rock press starts furiously jerking off and awarding gold medals like it was the Special Olympics? Well, one band that needs to start thinking of a thank you speech for receiving this musical affirmative action is the consortium of bleeders known as The Vivian Girls. What a treat that band is! Boring songwriting, terrible instrument performances, calculated “lo-fi” recording, shitty vocals hidden under a pile of reverb AND duds that look like hand-me-downs from “Ugly Betty”? Hot Dog! If it looks like shit and sounds like shit it must be good, right? Oh, and it’s all girls? Well, then it must be genius! Actually, we bet if you added a penis or two into the equation, the P-dork rating of this band wouldn’t stay up at 9.015437791AB- or whatever it is now. If we’re gonna keep having to hear about these chicks, can we at least request that the drummer starts hitting the drums a little harder than the Haagen Daaz? Don’t get us wrong, Buddyhead loves the ladies, we just don’t give passes to shitty bands no matter what’s lurking in their jeans.

Paige Hamilton wants to show you how to tune it to Drop D and play a whole song with your index finger. You heard that right, get out Dad’s Discover Card http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=122177

Someone…ANYONE in the vicinity of Tom Morello, please do the following: 1) slap him really hard across the face, repeatedly – don’t be afraid to work in that back hand either; 2) tie him down to a chair and make him listen to his last 3 musical projects on repeat for a week; and, assuming he even survives #2, 3) make him go house to house throughout the country and apologize for the last decade or so of his life. Yeah, Tommy we saw you on the NINJA Tour with that Chimney Sweeper’s Gentlemen’s Club rap metal band, and by our count, that’s 3 strikes. Actually, let’s be honest, you were tagged out the SECOND that very first Audioslave song leaked out of the Port-a-Potty, so I guess now we’re trying to find out just how many more nails you can possibly put in your coffin? Seriously dude, we needed ANOTHER rap metal band from you about as much as we need someone to invent barbed wired condoms. By the by, where did you find that backing band? Was Avril Lanvinge having a back-up musician sale? Look, we’ll give you this: in 1991 you were in a mostly minority band, playing rap and metal together when the PMRC had a Fatwa out against both genres (and before they became the lamest musical combo ever), with a singer shouting at the LAPD “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” in Rodney King-era Los Angeles. Rage rebelled in a time and place where it was actually dangerous to do so. 20 years later you’re just a rich dude beating a series of dead horses. Retire. 10 years ago.

  • holy shit courtney love is like half starving half fat. its pretty fucking scary. anyways, good gossip travis.

  • I couldn’t stomach more than fifteen seconds of Courtney. Someone bribe her dealer into giving her a bad dose already.

  • Well the Hole record will be lame. It might have been cool as a “Courtney Love” record. M.Auf.D should stay away and do another solo record.

    I saw SSSC live and they killed it, we will have to agree to disagree. But. . .Audioslave was slap worthy, IMO.

    As always, funny stuff.

  • What the fuck is a sonic shape?

  • Agreed on the SSSC love.

    I live in a certain North Eastern, Bon Jovi birthing state that will choose to remain nameless. Pretty much, this is where good music often goes to die, and because of this I’ve known about Hollywood Undead since they first shat themselves onto the internet like 5 years ago. The fact that they didn’t accidentally listen to their own music and kill themselves them is insane to me, let alone the fact that people are eating it up then. Metalcore became the new Nu-Metal in 2006 officially I think, so Hollywood Undead is now the new Insane Clown Posse.

    P.S. Thanks for taking it easy on Corgan this week.

  • Amen on the Vivian Girls. ‘Bout the only good thing they ever did was wait around long enough for people to forget about the Aislers Set so they could half-assedly rip them off for the Pitchfork crowd. You ain’t sliding that turd past this grunge baby, sisters.

  • Really funny stuff.

    What the fuck is Courtney thinking??? Hole again, really? Think we suffered enough back in the 90’s to go back there again.

    SSSC is cool though. I like them but yeah, Audioslave was something to forget (mainly) for mental health porpusses.

  • Disagree on the SSSC love… They were ok when I saw them because the set was short and the guys have a good energy, but there’s no way you can say it’s a good band! Morello is still capitalizing on RATM, it sounds exactly the same, except that it’s bad…

  • SSSC isnt all that bad, at least they have a little credibility with the whole rap rock thing ’cause the singer is actually a black guy.

  • rofl edwin.

  • Another legendary edition of gossip@!

  • The Haagen Daaz line had me laughing out loud…

    One word comes to mind when hearing about Courtney Love “rebirthing” Hole, and that word is “afterbirth.”

  • I would really recommend everyone to take a few seconds and read some of the comments on the youtube video for Hollywood Undead. Classic.

  • I know. These idiots think this “Undead” song is cool because it’s on the new UFC game. That’s like liking the corn on a piece of shit. Personall I like the Hollywood Undead song that goes ” Nobody undastandz da PAYYYN I feel inzide when muthafuckin Taco Bell don’t get my chalupaz right”

  • for another good laugh just read these poopdicks wikipedia page it says these goons spent 3 years making that album plus they were signed to myspace but left ’cause the label wanted to censor the record

  • I wrote one comment on the damn video and already have 40 messages of hate mail telling me to “sux dixs fag”. I’m not sure what that means, but it sounds bad.

  • This one is too good not to share! In response to me saying Rap-metal is dead, this is what I got from @morenodeftones:

    Genres dont dead stupid! If u think so maybe opera is dead too cause there so long time without a great artist?? still thinking dude.
    P.D:I saw LB last sunday in austria and was awesome

  • Ronnibily, you can say say anything to a Hollywood Undead fan. They won’t be able to hurt you, they’ll just trip over their own JNCOs if they attempt to give chase. That response at the deftones site is a perfect example of what a steady diet of Mountain Dew, Taco Bell food, and dirt weed does to the human brain.

  • @Travis and everyone who wants to have a laugh, check this out. I saw the Hollywood Undead a few weeks ago on tv and hardly got paralysed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcxIYH5U0W0 really waited for the bang to happen, it didnt. LA PRIDE.?. But hey, here in Europe we like that kind of shit. Check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhC0cKqHFOs . Maybe someone can explain why that angry midget reminds me on Cartman? And check out the drum-computer. Hugs and fluffy kisses from the other side of the world, Yv

  • If I had the choice of listening to Hollywood Undead or the sound of a car engine on a 48 hour drive over Europe I would choose the car engine. It has more brains and balls than that shitty assed band!

    Oh yeah. Surforia. Your afterbirth comment is fucking legendary! I am that weirdo on the bus that just starts laughing. This week I will be laughing when I remember that comment! Thanks!

  • I love it

  • Yeah…Zack de la Rocha pretty much made RATM. I liked their production on their last two records, and I think Tom Morello had some funky riffs. I guess the guitar solos were cool for a while. But you know how it goes…there’s only so many variations of Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean.” Actually check out “The Wanton Song” if you want to hear the song Rage basically formed a career out of. Why am I philosophizing about RATM. I think ‘I’ need to retire….

  • I do too.

  • The comments on youtube for hollywood undead are classic, along with the comparisons to Eminem and saying that this is the “best band in history”. I wrote only one comment of dislike which has already been responded to numerous times saying i suck, the music i like sucks, and i should die. Nice. I’m sad who the producer is for the band tho, as I do like him, but its not his fault and he does a good job with production.

  • Jesus, I understand it’s mandatory to be thin in order to wear a two piece to the beach, but come on now. Courtney may ‘appear’ to be thin but obviously she packed on a pound or two or three….whatever and completely forgot to hit the gym to tone up on the excess skin she’s shown off here.. WTF!!! Courtney you look like a fuckin’ shar-pei in this pic. I don’t know whether to ask you for an autograph if I saw you on the street or to pet you. By the way, I am looking forward to the next ‘Hole’ album bout as much as I am looking forward to my next installment of menstrual cramps!!! As for the SSSC debut, I have listened to this from first track to last and on the scale and on the scale of 1 to Shit Bizkit (10) I give them a 6. There a few tracks that I am not to fond of and some that I find myself crankin’ it on my speakers when the song hits my ipod.

  • the gossip rules so hard

  • “barbed wire condoms” = + 10

  • Hollywood Undead was one of the FIRST fuckers to ask for an add to my fake MySpace band’s page. Then they kept trying to post anonuncements for their shit in the comments section. It’s fun to delete it whenever they send it. I just checked my mail and 10 new add requests from up and coming attention whores were waiting, including a new band calling themselves “Hollywood Swank”. Those guys actually sounded at least like they were fuckin’ trying. Travis, you should bring those guys in from Toronto and book ‘em some shows just to confuse people.

  • the vivian girls sound a lot like tiger trap singing out of HOLY GRAIL pedals. henry darger is totally doing ‘copters by now…

  • i couldnt agree more with the street sweeper stuff, a pile of stale “ooooh lets make some money” bullshit
