Here we are ready to official start summer and Metallica have decided to release the studio version of their single, Lords of Summer (First Pass Version) through iTunes. The announcement was made through the following post on their website:
“Welcome to the official start of summer! Along with the longest day of the year comes the release of “Lords of Summer” on iTunesworldwide. If you joined us for a show or two in South America or on the first leg of the European tour you will recognize it as the “new song” in the set. Our friends over at ESPN heard it and decided they want to kick off their summer by spinning it on and off all day Saturday, so you just might hear it again if you’re a sports fan in the States.
Those of you with astute ears will notice some minor differences from the version we streamed on YouTube and released on LiveMetallica.com… it’s still a work in progress, but we wanted to share it with you as it stands today… it most probably will change again!”
We have all heard the garage demo version but this one has a bit of refining done to it. Here is the garage demo version for you to check out:
So head over to iTunes here and pick up the new single. I will leave you with some photos and videos of the last time we saw them perform which was at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2013.

Well I am home from my trip to the 5th Revolver Golden Gods Awards which took place last week at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles. I hope all of you had a great time watching the Black Carpet and the award show live on XBOX, Facebook or AXS TV. There was so many great stories to share from that night, some we may have to keep quiet; but all in all it was a fantastic show.
Sadly, hours before the Black Carpet, we got word of the passing of the great Jeff Hanneman from Slayer who died at the young age of 49 from liver failure. The night soon became filled with stories about Jeff and tributes to our fallen hero. Many drinks were shared and toasted to the life of Jeff and he will be greatly missed.

Our List could go on and on with the highlights of the night but I thought we would have fun with the above awards.
My last thought for you has to do with respecting each other in the Metal community. David Draiman touched on this during his acceptance speech which he calls for unity amongst us all. I can’t stress that enough. I feel that to boo a band at any time especially when they are accepting an award, is the poorest of taste and disRESPECTFUL. Come on people, we are starting to look like a bunch of 1Direction and Beiber fans who are hating on each other for their musical preferences. I thought we have all grown by now. I lived through the 80’s, 90’s – the Metallica/Megadeth, Stones/Grateful Dead, Van Halen Pre-Hagar/No Hagar, NoDave, With Dave, No Michael,With Michael and it can go on and on.
Seriously, any love for music is a love that has to be respected. I am not on one artist’s side or another, I am just against hate of any type. During the Award show, there was some people sitting next to us who started to cheer for a band, and the person in front of them turned around and started yelling at them, being a complete BULLY! Later the person next to us didn’t cheer at all the rest of the night. Lost their own voice because some intimidated them. It is time to be more open minded and respectful to eachother. We are all in this crazy world together so let’s make the best of it and listen to some music!
It is that time of year again! Spring is in the air and everyone is talking about who is going to win and who will be walking the carpet. No I am not talking about the red carpet and the Oscars! I am all about theRevolver Golden Gods Awardsand this year the 5th Annual award show will be held on May 2nd, 2013 at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles. If you have not bought your tickets, don’t even try… They are sold out! But you can enjoy the experience front and center in your own home, studio, garage, wherever you eat, sleep and breathe real rock and metal music!! For the first time ever this year’s show will air on an exclusive national television broadcast through AXS TV and global broadcast on XBOX Live and Facebook. Mark your calendars for May 2nd.
We have our tickets ready and will be there to cover the show and will have a lot to share with you since this year has a real hard and heavy show planned for us. So far, they have announced the following bands that will be performing at the show:
METALLICA
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH
ANTHRAX
STONE SOUR
HALESTORM
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN

Now that is an awesome show that I can’t wait for.
It is time that we show the world that Hard Rock and Metal is here to stay! We all know what the Grammy’s think of Hard Rock when they didn’t even air Halestorm winning and receiving the award for Hard Rock, Heavy Metal Performance. I have seen Halestorm 6 times and they are incredible live. The Oscars used to be fun to watch but I don’t think I have tuned in for about 10 years now. So raise your fists and horns in the air and let’s show them how an award show is done!
I think it is the perfect time to start planning your Revolver Golden God Awards Viewing Party! Make sure you have XBOX Live or check the listings for the AXS TV so you are ready for the big night. I will be putting together a Revolver Golden God Awards Viewing Party Planner up next week so you can get a head start on this big event. We will have a guideline and checklist for everything you need to have the perfect Revolver Golden Gods Awards party night. We will have menu ideas like Five Finger Vodka Death Punch, Metallica “Black”ened Salmon, Stone Stour Margaritas, Halestorm Love Bites mini Quiches, Anthrax powder cookies, and The Dillinger Sandwich Plan. We have so much planned for you to make your award night a memorable one! Hey it is on a Thursday, and we all know that Thursday is the new Friday.
