WAMI Awards

Last night I got to present the best Metal band award at the WAMIs. Beyond Fate took home the award. Congratulations to Beyond Fate. They were super excited about winning. After they won, they all called family and friends to share their excitement. It was really cool to watch it go down. Look for them to guest on the Local Edge soon.

As for the event itself, it was totally top notch. I got to hang out with Koz and Johnny from Profane. Thanks for the drink Koz! We talked about days gone by. Some of those memories go way back, before there even was a Razor 94.7. I'm talking about Megahertz. Those of you who were there know what I'm talking about. I got to meet Lucas Cates. I told him about how my son loves Packer Rock Anthem. He seemed cool and he talked about the new material they are working on. I also got to reconnect with Greg Waters. It's been too many years since we've crossed paths, so it was cool to catch up with him as well. It was a great night and I hope that I am part of some of their future events.

cd of the day--Bloodhound Gang--Dingleberry Haze This was the ep that got the ball going for the gang. Crazy lyrics, but total fun

Piss

I finally got the new/old Pantera track this morning. I can see why it did not make it onto a Vulgar Display of Power. It isn't totally focused enough. Parts of it they lifted and put onto songs on Far Beyond Driven (Use my Third Arm). It is still a killer song. It takes me back to the days when there was no others that came close to what Pantera was. It is angry, tough, and in your face metal. Dime played like no one else. Pantera was a juggernaut and is truly missed. Download Piss or wait for the 20th anniversary edition of A Vulgar Display and remember how great Pantera was.

Too much metal?

I'm not sure if there is such a thing, but I might be getting to that point. My inbox is overflowing!!! I have new tracks from Hellyeah, Shadows Fall, and Prong, not to mention full lengths from Municipal Waste, Dirge Within, Ministry, Napalm Death, Job for a Cowboy, Overkill, and Exumer. Plus, tomorrow we should get the long awaited Pantera song. It's name is "Piss". I think that says it all. It was recorded during the Vulgar Display of Power album. It is supposedly the last unreleased Pantera studio track. Check out the artwork in classic urine color!!

It's been twenty years already since Vulgar came out!

For all of the best in true metal, listen to Over the Edge, Saturday nights from 9-11.

Over the Edge--we rule the pit!

cd pick of the day--My Ruin--A Southern Revelation. This came out late last year as a free download. Tairrie B doesn't sound as angry as she used to be, but she still screams her lungs out when she needs to. They cover Van Halen's Mean Street as the last track. Get yours at myruin.net
