Kanye West Spotted Wearing Testament Shirt And Skolnick's Answer

This Has Become A Thing Now

It has become a thing now that pop stars and celebrities wear metal bands shirt in public appearances .Justin Bieber , The Kardashians Rihanna and many other have wore Iron Maiden,Slayer and Metallica . The reaction of the metal world is simple . Just don't do it you pissing us of . Wearing a shirt of a band you don't know makes you look stupid and everyone knows you do it just to provoke .In the world of the metalhead a band's is more than a shirt you need guts to be able to walk with one but I don't have to explain this because every time this happens the bands them self take action and usually roast everyone who does this . This time it happened to be Kanye West wearing a Testamen shirt with Alex Skolnick's offering one of the most hysterical responses ever. Once Alex saw this incident he shares some hilarious thoughts on Facebook.

"Oh no he didn’t! Wait, yes he did…Goodness gracious. This whole decrepit clan must have picked up a pile of old concert t-shirts (the same pile Kourtney K’s Slayer shirt came from) which have somehow become a “thing” in trendy fashion (who’d have thought?!!). Inconceivable that any of these pop culture vultures know who the heck any of the bands are. My guess is he thinks it’s a religious group (not the 1st time that’s happened) That is, if he thinks at all, which lately, seems unlikely. And I thought this time period couldn’t get any weirder…"

He also posted on Instagram!

Had a bizarre dream: Prince & Bowie died, Cubs won World Series, Trump won US Election, Brad & Angie split up & Kanye wore a Testament shirt. Must have been a nightmare 😉. Alright..see my FB post for my full commentary (not enough space here).... I like hip-hop generally and while not a Kanye West fan, I recognize that Kanye is respected by some folks in the music industry whom I respect. Normally I'd be flattered and appreciative from 1 artist 2 another (those who follow me outside Testament know I'm very open musically & work with artists of many genres). If Kanye genuinely knows and likes Testament - and isn't just wearing our shirt as part of this current bizarre fad among trendy fashionistas and Hollywood types to wear old metal concert Ts - then that's great, more power to him and respect. However, I truly doubt that's the case (and would love to be proven wrong). It's not the music/artist part of the equation I have a problem with - it is the Reality TV, publicity junkie part. Kanye may consider himself an artist, which I can accept (although an artist on the level of those he compares himself to? Pablo Picasso? Sorry, not feeling it). Artistry aside, the Kardashian clan (of which he's a part of by marriage) are not doing art - it is the lowest form of cheap entertainment, turning people into brainless nincompoops and slowly destroying the country, a place that's descended to the point of the majority now embracing anti-intellectualism, denying facts, disbelieving science, believing fake news, avoiding rationality, shunning critical thinking and no longer recognizing the difference between reality and reality TV (case in point: electing a Reality TV star as President, someone Kanye is now cozying up to). I find these offenses so unforgivable that I cannot find enjoyment in a major celebrity and artist I'd otherwise respect (musically, at least) wearing our shirt, much as I'd like to. So my initial response, while admittedly less eloquent, it is still an honest reflection of the moment.

Mastodon Album Update

Time Is A Very Big Theme

It seems like we have an album update on the new Mastodon Album . The band's drummer gave us some informations on Rolling Stone about upcoming work and the collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien.
He said :

"Time is a very big theme of the album. How much time do we have left? What are we doing with our time?"

"I get a little movie going in my head about a situation and I start writing about that. I try really hard to make it personal and relatable and not too esoteric. It's embarrassing to write lyrics. I'm a drummer, and I sing a little bit. Together we tackle these things and we figure it out - how to be this vocally driven band that has three people singing that don't want to sing."

"At the end of the story, the person simultaneously dies and is saved. It's about going through cancer, going through chemotherapy and all the things associated with that. I didn't want to be literal about it. But it's all in there. You can read between the lines."

"We always resort to the heavy, heavy, but I'd like to try to be adult and be able to go out there," he said. "When you play acoustically, you're pretty much naked. Do you really want everyone to see that? Maybe we're ready to be naked."

Metallica's James Hetfield Favorite Song From New Album

Hetfield Explains

James Hetfield was recently interviewed by Deezer (Video Down Below) about the new album and the new songs . They ask him about the all lot of questions and one of them was "Whats your favorite track of the new album?" He replied  :

 "It's really difficult because I love them all and they're still fresh for me. When I think, 'That's my favorite,' it's, 'Oh, now the video has actually made this my favorite!'

"I'm blessed that I like them all, but I think 'Dream No More' is one of my favorites - just heavy! And scary. 'The Thing That Should Not Be' you know, that department."

During the rest of the chat, Het explained just how important it is for the boys to keep creating new material, saying:

"To make new music is very important for us. It's easy to go and just play the songs that people enjoy or become a nostalgia act, but for us, we're artists and that would be a major part of us dying."

James was asked a lot of cool questions that you see in this interview :
