Metal Roundup
First and foremost, Heavy Metal in Baghdad is now out on DVD. If you missed it in the theaters, do yourself a favor and grab one. It’s one of the most honest portraits of a band we’ve ever seen, and a glimpse into what life continues to be like for the millions of Iraqi refugees around the world. It looks as if energy drinks are sponsoring all the big metal tours this summer. Read the last paragraph: we’re not the types to say I told you so, but this trend is about to get large. The long-awaited silver screen adaptation of Neil Strauss’ 2001 Motley Crue biography, Dirt, is on hold. Yes, again (bonus: Want to see something funny? If you’ve never seen comedian Eugene Mirman’s Motley Crue video, click here). Lastly, if you’re sleuthy enough on the internet, you can probably fish out some tracks from the new Guns’N’Roses album. Maybe Dr Pepper is going to have to pony up after all.
