"Metallica frontman James Hetfield isn't thrilled that Motörhead and their iconic vocalist Lemmy Kilmister haven't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. In a recent episode of The Metallica Report, Hetfield noted his displeasure and questioned the logic of those involved with the hall… as we all do. Like, a lot." Dudes, I totally agree, the Hall freaking sucks, well, check out the vid to see how I really feel about it.

"The history of metal music is riddled with instances where it has been misunderstood and demonized, particularly during its formative years. This often culminated in moral panics and being blamed for violent acts." What's up my dudes, I had a bit of time, so I was able to put my usual style to this one,..with a little help, lol Check it out!

Now in a new interview with Tone-Talk, Slipknot guitarist Jim Root reveals that the band didn't even try out anyone else outside Casagrande. Or as Root puts it, it was clearly a no-brained once Slipknot heard the dude behind a drum kit." Dudes, why would they, check it out!

"Come up with a metal band name now right now. Then, once you landed on one that doesn't suck, go on Metal Archives and see if it's taken. It is, right? Of course it is. Every metal band name is taken. This is the exact problem that Kerry King ran into when trying to name his new solo band." I dunno, Kerry King is alright, as long as the jams are tight, check it out!

"This entry comes from Dimebag Darrell's classic Guitar World column, "Riffer Madness" To me and my band, guitar riffs are what it's all about. We know that every time we jam on a great riff we've got a fighting chance of writing a great song!" Went back in time to get some advice from my favorite guitar player, check it out!

"Black Sabbath sadly ended with only three-fourths of its classic lineup in tact. Vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, and bassist Geezer Butler recorded their final album 13 and embarked on a farewell tour without original drummer Bill Ward, who quit the band in 2012 due to contract disputes. 13 featured Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk, while the final shows featured Osbourne's solo band drummer Tommy Clufetos."

"Arguments over whether or not Pantera is actually Pantera have been raging ever since the band announced their comeback in 2022. Some fans feel that Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown are carrying on the Pantera name, while others are adamantly calling it a tribute band due to the absence of Vinnie Paul and "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott." Dudes I don't know about this one man, It's great that they are jamming, but, I'm not sure about it being Pantera concrete, Let me know what you think dudes.

"Ever wonder what the world would have been like if Metallica dropped thrash metal all together and ushered in a new age of death metal following the passing of bassist Cliff Burton? That’s the answer that Croatian YouTuber Denis Pauna answers with his latest video, where he completely re-records the classic 1988 album as a death metal album." Dooods, you NEED to check this brutal death metal cover of @metallica injustice for all, performed by the awesome @DenisPauna (sorry I know I pronounced your name wrong, my hillbilly/Panamanian accent left me with speech issues lol) Link To Article:https://www.metalsucks.net/2023/11/16...

"It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time on this planet when Slayer had never existed. Perish the thought, I know… but pre-1981, the masses had never heard the hellaciously explosive thrash metal that resulted when you put Tom Araya, Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman, and Dave Lombardo in a room together." Dudes, I'm freaking pumped for this, I try to collect as much awesome stuff as I can so I am definitely going to try and grab this! are you going to swoop one up? Let me know in the comments below!!

"A couple of days ago we reported that Rush bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee said he and Alex Lifeson have warmed up to the idea of playing together again, and they have even jammed together in 2022. But it seems that there's more to it than the sentiment of being able to do it." This is pretty exciting to me, this band has been a huge part of my life , so I'm stoked to talk about it!! Let me know what you think about a potential round of Rush in the comments below!! Link To Article: https://metalinjection.net/news/geddy...

"Hold onto your butts, because that big announcement Pantera was teasing over the weekend didn’t end up being a new album or a lineup change or anything like that. Nope, it was the most banal and obvious choice — more tour dates." I kinda knew this is all it was, but it is still good news if you ask me, @pantera rules!!

"Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein has hinted that Down may release new music in 2024.

"Thrash metal legends Slayer called it quits in 2019, and the world of metal was never the same afterwards. Some whispers of a potential reunion have been circulating among the band's devoted fanbase in the last years, somewhat fueled by guitarist Kerry King saying that he thinks the band retired too soon."
