Duff's Peter Steele/ Halloween Honoring/ Celebration 2010

This Sunday marked my first time not going to Chiller in ages. In fact, I cannot remember the last I did not go there. For those of you readers and friends, who were there, I would love to hear how it was. I hope you guys who went there had a great time.

Anyways, I went to THE greatest bar on God's green Earth on Halloween night: Duff's Brooklyn!!!! I had decided to spend my Halloween there, and when I heard that they were doing something special to honor Peter Steele, the late lead signer of the legendary goth metal band Type O Negative, I had to go there. He passed away earlier this year.

Anyways, I first needed a costume and after much consideration I came up with: Zombie Guido!! He once known as the G-Man, and he was quite the ladies man. But, one night a certain cast member of the Jersey Shore wanted some, "Smoosh, smoosh", but our hero (who can do so much better) refused and got his throat slit. But, he rose from the grave in search of GTL (gym, tan, and laundry) and human flesh! Yeah, in other words I had way to much spare time to come up with this! :P

Anyways, as I got there, at first I thought I was the only person who had a costume, but soon others joined in/ appeared. Bar tender Laurie Ann, aka LA, grew an eight pack (better than a six pack!) for the event. There were lots of cool costumes, but I have to say that my fav was this dude who came in as Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley! That's just so fucking cool, man!

As is always the case with Duffs I ran into people I already knew and made new friends.

This being a night for Peter Steele, their were some noteworthy people there, too. His sister was there as was former porn star, ex-ECW star Jasmine St. Claire.

Now, this was not the big tribute to Steele; they originally mentioned it to be. They ain't ready for that yet, but they played his music most of the night, and we, his fans, remembered his greatness. I had been a fan since I was a teen and read about them in metal mags. When, I saw the cover to Bloody Kisses I had to get. It remains one of my fav albums. I had the pleasure ot meet him at the old Duff's some years back, and he was a funny, nice guy. As I said before, it was so sad when he passed away. I think my friend said ii beat when I saw her in Vegas in July, and she called them life changing music. Amen, sister, amen.

Anyways, I had a great time, and I hope you had a great Halloween, too. Remember it only comes once a year (though for some of us it's Halloween year round, but you get the idea), so hope you fuckin' enjoy it, the right way! And, if you wanna see more pics, go to my facebook. I got lots, there.

New Metal Wallpaper

Some posts ago, I showed you guys my wallpaper based on my fav/ most played albums that I got off of an app on Last.FM, but now I found an even better app there.

I downloaded it, and it made this wallpaper, based on what I have listened to in the last three months:

The really cool thing is that you can use it to keep making different wallpapers for you. For example, it made this one today for me:

My only complaint is that when it can't get an album cover image it gives you white empty spaces, which is sort of lame. But, regardless, I totally recommend you download it! I think the quality of the wallpaper image is excellent, and it looks really cool! Get it here: http://build.last.fm/item/37

My Most Played Bands

So, last month I showed you guys a wallpaper made by an application on LastFM, this time I have a column banner generated by another LastFM application that shows my most played bands, in descending order, up and until, today. Just thought I would share it with you guys.

If you have a LastFM account you can find out what they are for you, by going here: http://bandlogos.descentrecords.com/

Music Mix: Cover Up

Time for a new mix kiddies! This time around, my mix is all cover songs. Most of them are of metal bands covering other metal bands, but a couple of them are of metal bands taking on more pop oriented music. In parenthesis, after each song title, you will find the name of the original band that played that song, in case you wanna know who it was, or you wanna look for the original (which you really should do). I tried to pick some cover songs you might have not have not heard, but I think all the songs are fucking awesome takes on them and kick ass. Anyways, you can download the mix from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/154795549/43818394/Cover_Up.html

And, for the horndogs, or the simply curious, amongst you, the girl on the cover is the lovely Christian Serratos, who stars in the Twilight movies. The pic is from a PETA ad, that she recently did. Clearly PETA kicks ass! The Twilight films, on the other hand, are pretty fucking annoying...

Music Mix: By the Power of Ballad 2

Last year, I made my first mix for CD Mom. It was a ballad mix, and it became my favorite out of all of the ones that I did since then. I said I would do a sequel a year later and, well, here it is. As with the last one, not all are hair bands. I threw in some goth, thrash, and other forms of hard rock/ metal bands. One is even an acoustic version of a classic Iron Maiden song (Wasted Years) by hard rockers Damone.

Music Mix: By the Power of Ballad

Sorry, it took so long but here is the link to my first mix. It's all metal power ballads. And, they are not all hair bands. In fact, you will find thrash, metalcore, and goth metal bands, among, the typical power ballad guys. Hope you guys enjoy it.
