The Rim Of Hell

Several articles on Blabbermouth.net have caught my attention, and I’m noticing a theme here – all centered around the vocalists of bands. Troublemakers that they are.
First up, Slash is releasing a different single from his new self-titled album, opting to go with Wolfmother’s Andrew Stockdale singing “By The Sword” over Ozzy singing a little [...]

KNAC.com – An enterprising fan has started a group on Facebook to get Iron Maiden selected to open (or close) the 2012 Olympic games hosted in Maiden’s hometown of London, England.
Since the Rim of Hell staff are all huge Maiden fans, we couldn’t help but pass this along to the masses. What? You’d [...]

CNN – If you follow the link, you can read CNN’s article about wacky inventor Doug Hines, who has recently unveiled his new creation Roxxxy – the “world’s most sophisticated talking sex robot”. And for a mere $7,000, she can be yours.

Blabbermouth.net – One of my all time favorite bands is touring again, but not to Ohio.   I can catch them in Detroit if I wished, but then y’know how those of us in Columbus feel about Michigan destinations.  Pass.

That’s how this evening started for me, kiddies. Because over at the link, I see that roughly 3 hours ago KNAC announced that the Big 4 are scheduled to perform together. . . on the same [...]

Seriously, it wasn’t Christmas was it? Perusing the news over at http://www.blabbermouth.net and I’m beginning to wonder, what with all the news item “gifts” that occurred over the past four days. . .

Yngwie Malmsteen has released a clip where he covers Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” on his Myspace page. Tim “Ripper” Owens is [...]

www.amplichoir.com – It’s an interesting experiment in the potential & unified use of a massive audience such as the internet. But for right now, it’s also a clear example of “not everybody can sing”. Or maybe “ok, it’s kinda cool but what good is it. . really?”. You decide, follow the link.

Mediapost – From the “This Should End Well” category comes an article about a new contest being sponsored by the MGM Grand (y’know, in Vegas?) where users are invited to Tweet their sins via Twitter.  Each day for the duration of the campaign, the hotel will choose one random winner to receive a free [...]

LA Times – Follow the link for a great article on the imminent demise of Geocities & the little group dedicated to archiving as much of it as they can. Interesting read.
