A new Kickstarter is asking you to help get a comic book anthology horror series, graphic novel, and, maybe even a TV series (!) featuring Alice Cooper (!), become a reality. UNCLE ALICE PRESENTS comes from the mind of Tom Sheppard(of Annoying Orange which a shamefully love, and Robot Chicken), who also happens to be a huge Alice Cooper fan. Among the writers for the series is Brendon Hay also from Robot Chicken, and The Simpsons.

As you might imagine, donating to Uncle Alice’s Kickstarter campaign has it’s perks. Like getting drawn into one of the issues, rare, Cooper inspired artwork, and the chance to play a round of golf with Alice himself.
Very Metal Friday Night! A new weekly feature on Cherrybombed.com!
I’m starting a new weekly post as of today, which is basically just a post with a bunch of links I think you need to read up on so you can stay on top with what’s really important in this world. Booze, metal, and other random stuff that you’ve come to expect from CB.com. And while I’m at it, I’m looking forward to more good times with the Movies About Girls cast as we will be back in action tomorrow, terrorizing the Skype airwaves with episode #155!
Although we still do the show on Saturday night, we’re just not ready to stream it live yet. But we will be soon so stay tuned! Of course, tomorrow’s show will be as antic packed as always, especially when we all share our cringe worthy feelings about 1964′s, Kitten With a Whip, staring my favorite Flintstone, Ann Margrock, and gentleman lady killer, John Forsythe. Look for it here later this weekend.
In other news, I find amazing how much a young, disturbed Ann Margaret reminds me of the not-so-young-looking-anymore, but just as disturbed, Lindsay Lohan. Cocaine, it’s a hell of a drug…
Black Sabbath’s first show in New Zealand in nearly 40 years sells out in “minutes”.
Former WASP guitarist Chris Holmes isn’t dead! At least I’m pretty sure he’s still alive after watching his latest video “They All Lie and Cheat” (with thanks to Sleazegrinder for the hip).
Welcome to My Nightmare, Ronnie James Dio covering the classic Alice Cooper track.
You can expect to hear a lot of Halloween inspired music on the blog this month. Today’s Daily Earwig is a little know gem of a cover from Ronnie James Dio. Dio recorded the classic Alice Cooper track “Welcome To My Nightmare” for the 1999 Cooper tribute, Humanary Stew: A Tribute To Alice. The track also appears on the equally metal 2010 comp, Heavy Metal Halloween.
Photos of celebrities shot extremely close-up (I give you exhibit YIKES! above of Iggy Pop), have been making the rounds on the Internet. Very metal blog, Dangerous Minds, had the good sense to cull together a series of photos of rock star faces from the the terrifying Tumblr cataloging the too close for comfort photos, Celebrity Close Up.
Steven Tyler.
Tom Waits.
Click here to see other rockers like Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, and Johnny Lydon, like never before.
