"Cannibal Corpse" interview - Headbanging, bats, and beer-spilling with George "Corpsegrinder"

George and I at the Rockstar Mayhem Fest 2009 San Antonio show

Well I thought San Bernadino was bad enough for deadly sun exposure, but the place had NOTHING on texas! i attended two shows there with the rad Regina Perez and Melissa Andra. There were many, many adventures to be had which will all be revealed each delicious detail at a time for your viewing pleasure. But first off I was fortunate enough to score this guerilla interview with George Fisher, lead singer of Cannibal Corpse and all round brutal/awesome guy.
He talks tour, new album, bats and headbanging with me.

And don't you worry next time I'm going to make sure we're as far away from the damn loud Metal Mulisha bus as possible! (haha love you metal mulisha, really!)

Check it out!



Filmed by Regina Perez

More videos, interviews, photos and everything in between coming soon - Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid, Metal Mulisha and me ;)

Plus one photo for good measure because I think Regina and I look damn hot in that late afternoon San Antonio sun haha.

Did you go to Rockstar Mayhem Fest 2009?

Myself and Regina snapped by mike D at the San Antonio show, TX for Rockstar

Because I sure did, about 5 times over, and had the adventure of my life. I'm trying to pick a favourite but they were all so fucking awesome, I mean Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, marilyn Manson, the Black Dahlia Murder, Job for A Cowboy, All that Remains, Killswitch Engage, and so much more, how could you not?

I took a lot of photos and met a lot of interesting people out there on the road, as well as scoring interviews with some of the biggest bands in metal today, Cannibal Corpse, God Forbid, The black Dahlia Murder, but what I want to hear is your stories and what I want to see is your photos. So leave me a comment with your pics and stories about the rockstar Mayhem Fest 2009. What were your favourite bands? Who did you meet? How drunk did you get? How far did you have to travel? How goddamn hot was it??



My Cannibal Corpse interview up later tonight, so check back soon!

Rockstar Mayhem Fest Adventure Special Part 1: San BURNadino

The beginning of our Rockstar Mayhem fest 2009 adventures took place in sweltering San Bernadino on July 12 with it being a reported 110 degrees, and that's before even stepping into the pit! Sunburn abounded but this did not discourage the teeming black-clad masses from coming to enjoy a day of complete and utter metal fucking mayhem.

The line-up included:

Marilyn Manson
Slayer
Killswitch Engage
BFMV

The Black Dahlia Murder
Cannibal Corpse
Behemoth
Job For A Cowboy
Whitechapel
All that Remains
God Forbid
Trivium

Highlight # 1:

The Slayer Pit

The Slayer moshpit was insane! As darkness was just beginning to fall and Slayer stepped out onto the stage under a haze of crimson-devil lights and smoke, out of nowhere the entire crowd, no make that the entire stadium at Glen Helen Pavillion, surged forward, running, jumping over each other, fighting for access to the pit. Which was in many cases...DENIED!! haha

Entry to the pit was granted only to those with pit tickets, if you had no yellow "pit" wristband, then it was no pit for you baby (Luckily we did not have this problem). This left many disgruntled, amped up, ready for a fight in the pit, fans "homeless" and watching from behind pit lines, watching enviously the brutalizing going on in the pit to the sweet, soothing sounds of the almighty SLAYER.

Dino Cazares (Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, Asesino etc)and wife jennifer snapped by Regina Perez during Dino's signing.

Maniaco was there, and we just had to pose with him. It was something that had to be done!



We ran into Meegs. And of course more posing ensued.



More sweet guerrilla journalism, updates, photos and mayhem adventures coming soon

"Jekyl" - The Irish Iron Maiden

Jekyl (myspace.com/jekylonline) are five lads from Ireland who fuse influences from their homeland with a dose of rock n roll and an 80's metal vibe reminiscent of Iron Maiden, complete with soaring vocals, and slick guitar solos.

Sound like something you'd want to subject yourself to? Well lucky for us here in LA, Jekyl are freshly relocated here, and tearing up a storm ith their shows all over Cali (more details on their myspace!) This band is fun to watch, recently they played mainstage at the Flashrock.com "Flashrock of July" show, hosted by myself, the lovely Brittanica, TFG and Tony Rockhorror.

Videos from this show will be up soon but for now, here's Jekyl, other bands, hosts, and myself piled up on stage to pose



Even more recently, my partner in crime Regina Perez, (you can see her guest-hosting on the metal scene tv show) and I also ran into some of the lads from Jekyl in VIP at the San Berdadino Rockstar Mayhem fest.



More on mayhem fest to come in my multiple part mayhem fest special!
