ATP NY has given me a huge erection!

JESUS LIZARD! MELVINS! DEAD MEADOW!

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH BOYEEEEE!

I went last year. OM was awesome, as were many non-BBB approved bands such as Mercury Rev, Bob Mould, Silver Mt. Zion and Built To Spill.

Flaming Lips as this year's curators is hot, but JESUS FUCKING LIZARD! FUCK! PROFANITY! NASTINESS! YES YES YES YES YES YES!

I am totally stoked I will get some Melvins that weekend (and maybe the chance to paddle boat with Buzz and Dale Crover) but I have seen that band a dozen times. It is not as exciting as THE MOTHER FUCKING JESUS LIZARD HOLY FUCK CRAP YEAH!

If you are a bit too Metal to know the Lizard watch the below video.

Blockbuster from 1991!

Thoughts on King Diamond playable in Guitar Hero

I was already leaning towards a purchase of Guitar Hero: Metallica when I heard that King Diamond would be a playable in game character, with the classic top hat and bone microphone. You know, a lot like that image to the left.













So then I started thinking about who else would be awesome obscure playable characters in future Guitar Hero games. (For the record I prefer Rock Band but they don't do this stupid guest star shit)

David Yow! Wouldn't that be a fun motion capture session? David Yow with those MoCap ping pong balls on his penis. Besides Guitar Hero needs some Duane Denison riffs. Personally I would want to play Boilermaker or Wheelchair Epidemic.


Joey Demaio! Aren't all of the backing musicians in this game just modeled after him anyway? I would also like to see if loincloths and codpieces are tame enough to allow Guitar Hero to keep its T for Teen rating. Also, I think Joey can really use the money right now. And to add to that Guitar Hero wish list, let me play Hail and Kill or Brothers of Metal!








Gaahl! Not only would the Gorgoroth singer be a delightfully creepy addition to the game, there is a great business opportunity for Activision here. Let people buy the dresses that he and his twink boyfriend have designed. Also a great boss battle can be Gorgoroth vs Gorgoroth.



Who else would you put into a future Guitar Hero game?
