So I was walking down the hall at work today, hitting up the vending machine for a mid-afternoon shot of caffeine. This part of the floor is fairly remote as the business offices nearby are empty for whatever reason. A young girl (mid-20′s – that’s young to me) was on the cellphone, having one of [...]

Posted by RevMortis on December 14th, 2008
Blabbermouth.net -Very lengthy post copied on Blabbermouth, originally posted on MyGNRForum.com, where Mr. Rose himself responds to several fan questions – most specifically centering around his continued use of the G N’ R name while being the only remaining original member. Not gonna cut/paste it here, you really should check out the whole thing at [...]

Posted by RevMortis on December 11th, 2008
Blabbermouth.net – Swedish Black Metal act Nifleheim have created quite a stir with an interview published in Sweden Rock magazine recently. Specifically the uproar is over insensitive comments made by bassist Tyrant when reminded that the day before the interview had marked the 22nd anniversary of Cliff Burton’s (Metallica) death. The translated quote goes like [...]

Posted by RevMortis on December 9th, 2008
Blabbermouth.net – Death & Litigation week continues here at the Rim of Hell with an examination of the Joe Satriani vs. Coldplay infringement lawsuit. Yeah, I know – pretty unlikely pair of musical acts to be involved in a legal dispute. What’s next – The Sex Pistols suing Fiona Apple? GWAR suing Neil Diamond?? Guns [...]
Four Years Later – R.I.P. Dimedag
Posted by RevMortis on December 8th, 2008
I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since that awful night at the Alrosa Villa. Seems like an eternity ago. . . and yet just last week. Not gonna get all sentimental here, just wanted to acknowledge the loss four years ago of one of the greatest guitarists ever – ‘Dimebag’ Darrell Abbott, as well [...]
Forry Ackerman Dead at 92; Betty Page Hospitalized
Posted by RevMortis on December 7th, 2008
In the words of the Beatles – “I read the news today – oh boy!”. Oh boy is right as I was hit with a double whammy of horrible updates. First off, Forry Ackerman, long time editor of ‘Famous Monsters of Filmland’ magazine and originator of the term ‘sci-fi’ died of heart failure at 92 [...]
Satan is Their Spokesperson
Posted by RevMortis on December 4th, 2008
Ad Age – The Unholy Fiend (actually actor Jimmy Briscoe) has been enlisted as spokesperson in NYC for the newly renamed Prayer Channel – now called NET (New Evangelization Television). Is it just me or was the OLD name catchier? Eh, who cares – I don’t live there. Anyhow, the spots are somewhat humorous, although [...]
Happy Birthday, Ozzy!
Posted by RevMortis on December 3rd, 2008
Fark.com – Yep, the Prince of Darkness turns 60 today! Honestly, I thought he was older. . . must be thinking of his liver. Or maybe just mine. Interestingly, he shares his birthday with Daryl Hannah (48), Brendan Frasier (40) & Andy Williams (81). Time for a duet with Mr. Williams, I think. Andy would [...]

Dr. Pepper & Axl Rose – Part 2: Now It Gets Ugly
Posted by RevMortis on December 1st, 2008
I wrote a nifty little post a while back, discussing that Dr. Pepper had issued a statement saying they would in fact honor the offer to give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” was released in 2008. Of course, it was and they did. . . sorta. To [...]
