Joey Jordison's entry in "Encyclopaedia Metallica"

The diminutive* Slipknot drummer stood in for Lars Ulrich at 2004's Download Festival when Ulrich was mysteriously taken ill on a flight from Europe. He has since blamed the incident on a panic attack, although far more colourful insinuations filled the pages of the music press and the Internet in the wake of the incident. With Ulrich in the hospital, Metallica were forced to hunt around for a replacement at short notice, with Jordison offering to fill the vacant drum stool. In the end he played on the bulk of the band's set, with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo performing on two tracks and Lars' drum roadie, Fleming Larson, on 'Fade To Black'.

Kenoh demands the Vice President position, as well as the belt.

Kenoh has demanded that when he defeats Naomichi Marufuji for the GHC National, Marufuji hand over not only the belt, but also his position as Vice President.
Naturally, Marufuji wants compensation should this happen, and has said that in return, Kenoh gives him 'The Kenoh Channel', which he will rename, 'The Marufuji Channel'.

"We have a bunch of weird ways of writing in Slipknot..."

"We have a bunch of weird ways of writing in Slipknot. Like, Jim [Root, guitarist] and I wrote “Sulfur” in his kitchen, [laughs] I took my V-Drums over there, and we wrote that whole song"

"I never played a bass before in my life."

"I was down in a music store, and uh, met our original singer for Slipknot, um, down there. They were talking about needing...he was talking about needing a bass player for a band, and I never played bass in my life, but I was like 'I don't know anybody, so fuck it, I can play a bass. I'm like here, right?. Yeah, I know how to play'. I never even touched a fuckin' bass...yeah, I never played a bass before in my life." (Paul Gray)

This years new U2: Muse

Belfast Telegraph
Friday 29th December 2006

Muse did pretty well in 2006. Their album Black Holes and Revelations went to number one in Britain and across Europe.
They also cracked the American top 10 and saw their tours get bigger and bigger and sell out in supersonic speeds. But that is nothing compared to the 2007 we anticipate. Muse announced recently they would be the first band (finally) to play the new Wembley. The show, for June 16, sold out in an hour. They then announced a second date which has also sold out. Expect headlining slots at Oxegen, T In The Park and one other major festival to follow.
Bombastic, outlandish and bold space-rock has never had such incredibly wide appeal. And this really is just the start. America will fall before too much longer.
