Flavour of the Week: Chevelle

I’ve been chewing on an idea to add a regular band / artist feature to the blog. Now, if you have been following this blog from the start, you may remember the 4 piece feature I did on Slipknot in January / February of this year. The idea is to condense that into a shorter, more pertinent post, featuring an artist of my choosing. This will be my first such post, and I will call it... “Flavour of the Week”

I must disclose in advance that I only recently discovered Chevelle. I knew one or two of their singles, but for some reason, never had the time or inclination to thoroughly get to know them. This was a mistake, because since having listened to their repertoire, they are now placed firmly amongst my own personal Top 5 favourites.

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio

In the spirit of keeping Legends alive... Pay some respect to the man credited as 'inventing' the Devil-Horns sign and most definitely the Patriarch of Heavy Metal!!! 

Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010)

Thought I'd share a joke, courtesy of The Monger:

1945, Adolf Hilter died and went to Hell. Satan asked: "Why are you in Hell?" He replied, "I am responsible for the massacre of millions"

Satan said: "Well done, sit to the right of my throne." 

1953, Joseph Stalin died and went to Hell. Satan asked: "Why are you in Hell?" He replied "I killed millions to stay in power" Satan said "Good, sit to my left" 

2010, Ronnie James Dio died and went to Hell, Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" Dio replied, "Bitch, get the fuck off my throne!"

Thanks Monger...

Good Old Ozzy...

Ozzy Osbourne is still up to his antics again... It's been 6 years since the final episode of his hit TV show The Osbourne's aired on MTV, and with 2 albums on the shelves since, it seems Ozzy is truly The Prince of Darkness and will never leave this earth...

 

Now believe it or not, the geriatric rocker has penned a self-help book. Here is part of the description from the publishers: "In 'Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy', Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, 'Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy' will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more."




Seems beloved wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne is keeping Ozzy quite busy.

Trust me, I'm Dr. Ozzy: Advice from Rock's Ultimate Survivor will be available on October 11, 2011, shortly before Ozzy's 63rd birthday
