Very Metal Friday Night Update: Iggy Pop’s “Indie Label Problems”, Ozzy Falls Off The Wagon, And Alice In Chains Get “Stoned”

Posted on April 19, 2013 by DJC| Leave a comment


Iggy Pop hates on his indie record label. Bikini’s and hilarity ensues.

Yesterday, when The Onion so eloquently said, “Jesus, this week“, everybody nodded in agreement. So very quickly, I want to let you all know that as of this writing, Movies About Girls episode #165 will happen this weekend. As you know, MAG’s studio is located in Boston, our fearless King and his Queen are holding court, and are thankfully safe.

Fan fód my Beantown friends. I love you all, and that dirty old town.

The Dropkick Murphys‘ raised $100,000 for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. To make a donation to help the victims of the tragedy in Boston, click here.

Record Store Day is TOMORROW! Check out my list of recommended must-haves for RCD 2013, and my very metal RCD 2013 list over at Purple Dog Records.

Here’s the official music video for the new Alice in Chains track, “Stone”.

Listen to the excellent new track from Michael Monroe, “Ballad of the Lower East Side“.

RIP, Storm Throgerson.

Vince Neil says “It’s time” for Motley Crüe to say goodbye. “WE KNOW” said everybody.

David Lee Roth says he never married his male chef in a civil ceremony a decade ago. Thanks, Buzz Feed, I never heard that one before either.

Trying to talk to Johnny Marr about shoes.

Nico McBrain’s wife is McBatshit crazy. Naturally, she is a resident of the most twisted state in the union, otherwise known as Florida.

Speaking of bats, Ozzy said he was back on the sauce & drugs while recording the new Black Sabbath record. Which can only mean one thing; the new Black Sabbath album will be fucking awesome!

Anxious and depressed (isn’t everyone after this last week!)? Blame heavy metal.

Speaking of being anxious and depressed, ever wanted to see Axl Rose in 3D? Yeah, (remember, it’s NOT 1987) me either.

Very Friday Night Update: Sub Pop’s Silver Jubilee, If Lemmy’s Mole Could Talk, And Axl Rose Still Has “It”?

Posted on April 12, 2013 by DJC| 2 Comments

Just a quick programming note to say the blog will be taking some time off so Cherrybomb can feel better. Until she returns, keep being metal, and visit our other equally metal friends at Movies About Girls, Dangerous Minds, Perisarc, Paracinema, and all of our other “clickworthy” Internet pals.

See you soon…

Sub Pop’s Silver Jubilee is going to be stellar. And it’s FREE.

I have never personally wondered what Lemmy’s moles would say if they could talk, but maybe you have.

The new Ghost is streaming.

Listen to the new Queens of the Stone Age track, My God is the Sun.

Satan releases first single in 25 years. And you don’t have to go to hell to listen to it.

In their new video for the track “Bald Bull”, Boston metal band Gozu proves that milk does not in fact, do a body good.

Speaking of Boston, I got pretty homesick watching this mini-documentary about the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. 14 years and counting, this years festival features Anthrax, DRI, Sick of it All, as well as every NE metal band worth their devil horns.

“A Year and A Day“. An animated tribute to MCA.

Axl Rose still has it?

Here’s a picture of Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop from the soon-to-be-released CBGB’s mess of a movie.

Speaking of messes, Marilyn Manson has officially given up.

Ever wanted to see Nicholas Cage headbanging, dressed like a priest for 1:32? Yeah, me neither.

Don’t miss this one Seattle headbangers, Norwegian metal band, Kverlatak is coming to El Corozon!

The always subtle Reggie Watts explains how to tell if you’re fucking someone.

Very Metal Friday Night Update: Black Sabbath, Ghostface Killah, And People, Hell, And Angels

Posted on March 15, 2013 by DJC| Leave a comment

immortal

So, if you’re a metalhead living in or around Toronto, you are currently consumed, still trying to wrap your mind around how the fuck you are going to score tickets for Black Sabbath’s first North American in Toronto August 14th. Opinions aside, there is no doubt that every date on this tour is going to sell out. So like you Toronto, I’m sitting in that same viking boat, rocking back and forth. Trying to come to terms with the fact that my Sabbath ticket, if I’m lucky engough to get one, will likely be the most expensive concert ticket I’ve ever purchased for a show, in my life. Second only to my recent acquisition of a Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ticket. So you do the math. It’s not pretty. But it’s rock and roll. And I love it.

So many metal things happened this week. Read on for all the deets…

RIP Clive Burr.

Sabbath’s ’13′ gets a June 11th release date. In this video of Rick Rubin lounging around while recording Sabbath, you get to hear some sound bites from the new record. In other very metal news, Sabbath’s world tour begins next month in New Zealand, then hits Australia and Japan from late July through September. The only North American date so far is in Canada, on August 14 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Tickets for the Toronto concert go on sale on April 13th.

People, Hell, and Angels.

Soundgarden will release vinyl demos from “King Animal” on Record Store Day this year.

Metal Church is recording a new album.

Not wanting to be out-metaled by Metal Church, Judas Priest is also back in the studio.

Axl Rose’s microphone broke a fans teef. Now he’s getting sued. Not the microphone, Axl Rose.

The Mars Volta might have lied when they said they were never, ever getting back together.

Fuck yes! New Clutch.

Speaking of fuck yes, Thurston Moore’s band, Chelsea Light Moving, might have made one of my favorite records of 2013.

Speaking of Thurston Moore, here’s a photo of Thurston Moore smiling, and Nick Cave not looking morose while record shopping at Waterloo Records this week at SXSW in Austin.

Jack White is the Record Store Day 2013 ambassador.

Here’s another new Ghostface Killah track. And it’s fucking Delphonically awesome.

Download this sweet Boston metal comp from Born of Fire records NOW!

Speaking of Boston, RIP to a loved music/culture mag from my youth, the Boston Phoenix. The same so-long goes out to 30 year Boston radio station alterna-vet, WFNX.

Very Metal Insights: Fizzy Lipton On The New Gozu Record “The Fury Of A Patient Man”

Posted on January 2, 2013 by DJC| Leave a comment

Gozu
Boston’s own, Gozu. The bands latest record, The Fury Of A Patient Man is due out via Small Stone in April of 2013.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Cherrybombed.com’s primal mover of Fuzz, Fizzy Lipton. So, when I got the chance to preview the upcoming April, 2013 release, “The Fury of a Patient Man” by long-running Boston band Gozu, I knew I had the perfect assignment for my dear, sludge loving friend. Fizzy’s mission? It was pretty simple. Listen to the record, and report back his very metal findings to yours truly.

So without further adieu, here’s Fizzy!

Gozu: The Fury Of A Patient Man
Label: Small Stone
Release Date: April, 2013.

First, I’d like to thank Cherrybomb for asking me to write this review right in the middle of invoice-filling-out-season. Deep breath… *sigh*. Oh Cherry, Oh Cherry O baby, how can I say no to those beautiful blue eyes and that “endearing” Boston accent? You know I can’t!

So okay, lets give this record a spin and see what’s up with Gozu’s forthcoming effort, (the bands second full length), “The Fury Of A Patient Man”. So first off, “Irish Dart Fight” catches my attention. HA HA! That’s Boston! And man, vocalist Marc Gaffney’s voice is really impressive. Personally I’m more of a Chris Cornell type singer, very forced (though I always stayed within my range) – but his guy is more of a natural. I’m always jealous of dudes like that.

Next up is the track “Salty Thumb”. Now this is the shit I love! Metal steeped in blues based rock. This song smokes, smolders, burns…very TASTY! Definitely my favorite so far. It’s cool how these guys delve into a few different directions but still have a cohesive overall sound. Another thing I’m digging is Gozu’s use of two guitars (Gaffney and guitarist Doug Sherman, respectfully) pretty well.

Moving on. “Traci Lords” is an epic track packed with sweet drum sounds that don’t get lost in the mix. It’s METAL – and that’s what it’s SUPPOSED to be. “Ghost Wipe” keeps the rock coming with some hard sound on those floor toms! BOOM! These guys really know how to arrange a song. Great backup vocals, dreamy guitar work. I do wish the bass had little more definition in the mix; it kind of takes a backseat to everything else. Of course it’s hard not to dig on the track names alone on Fury. Take “Snake Plissken” for example. Plissken has a kinda punky, sweet catchy chorus. I can just tell I’d have a good time hanging out with these guys.

Damn Cherry, I LIKE THIS BAND! Although there seems to be no formula to these songs, each one takes you on it’s own little trip. And while there is a lot of repetition on Fury, given the many micro-journeys that the rest of the album delivers, the epic closer 23 minute closer, “The Ceaseless Thunder of Surf”, is a bit of a letdown. Despite the fact that the fat bass tone I was missing, finally made it to my ears. That said, The Fury Of A Patient Man is a superb album by some very talented guys with great chops – killer vocals, tasty riffs and enough low-end whomp to rattle the windows on your Maverick. There’s not really any new ground here, but there doesn’t need to be. It’s got a little something for everyone who digs good, solid metal. So yeah, I DIG that. Now, to those invoices…

Very Metal Legöhead And Prögramming Note

Posted on July 22, 2012 by DJC| 1 Comment


Ace of Spades album cover made from Legö blocks by Lorenz.

This very metal Legö recreation of Mötorhead’s classic 1980 record, Ace of Spades, is new to me. To see more rock and roll inspired Legos, check out the gallery that design blog Speckboy posted a few years back. Maybe you missed a few like yours truly.

In other CB.com news, I’ll be headed back to Seattle in a couple of days so again, posts will mostly be on a break. I have to give huge thanks to my fellow teenage losers at Movies About Girls, my dear friends, the King of Podcasting and MAG’s creator and host, Ken, and his Queen Stacey, for having me live in the fabulous Atomic Grape Studio in Cambridge, MA. 1/2 of the most metal band in Boston, my good pals Mike Demonik and Johnny Machine of The Humaniods also dropped in, and a night full of antics ensued! If you missed last nights epic  episode of MAG,  #146, it is now available to stream on Loudcaster.

Posts should be back to normal sometime next week. Be sure to check out all my Clickworthy friends to the right while things are quiet here for a few days, and remember the “Cherrybombed.com Flashback” post is still running so refresh the page and flashback!

Very Metal Monday: “xxx All Ages xxx – The Boston Hardcore Film” To Make World Premiere In Boston

Posted on March 26, 2012 by DJC| Leave a comment


“xxx All Ages xxx – The Boston Hardcore Film”. The film will make it’s world premiere at The Boston Independent Film Festival on April 27th.

As a native of Boston, growing up in the midst of what was arguably one of the greatest music scenes in the country during the 70′s and the 80′s, was pretty special. A film about the Boston‘s sorta mysterious hardcore scene, “xxx All Ages xxx – The Boston Hardcore Film“, finally shines a light on the hardcore happenings in clubs around Boston (Cambridge, MA represent!).

Unless you were there, it’s really hard to explain how vital and vibrant the Boston hardcore scene was. The music and the scene just spoke to us in a way that metal or rock didn’t. Despite spending a lot of time being terrified that I was going to get sucked into a mosh pit of death, I went to the shows just because I could, often not knowing much about the bands that were playing. Then suddenly, Gang Green became my new favorite band, and I ran out to Newbury Comics to get a Gang Green patch for my already overburdened jacket. I always got my feet unstuck (and never got too close to the toilet) at The Rat (RIP), and let’s face it, the crowd moshing was almost as entertaining as the bands themselves.

Even though I was always more of a metalhead, I felt more at home at hardcore shows in Boston. Everyone was welcome at those shows. And, as the title of the flick implies, most of these shows were “all ages”, which helped open the world of hardcore to so many young eyes and ears, including my own. Shows at The Channel that started at 4:00 p.m. that a 13 year old Cherrybomb could sneak off to attend without telling the folks? Sign me up. People swinging from the plumbing in the ceiling, and moshing before Anthrax wrote a song about getting caught up in one? I feel lucky to have been there.
