Who could it be now?

Shame-free recently interviewed one of the bands below that can currently be seen on Projekt Revolution. Who do YOU think it is? If you already know, then you can't play.





In case you missed it.

Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance did an interview with Rolling Stone a few weeks ago. I think Gerard is aware of this, but they will always be associated with the "look" of this picture.

Here it be:

What’s the most rock-star thing you’ve ever done?

That’s really hard to come up with. I haven’t done anything rock star. I walked into a club in Canada with sunglasses on. I thought it would be cool. It was a total dick move.

What was your favorite album at age fourteen?

Live After Death by Iron Maiden. Easily. I listened to that thing for five years straight. That’s one of the things that really made me want to be a live performer.

How do you like to spend downtime on tour?

I write my comic book, which is amazingly fun. And I want to do serious paintings of Joan of Arc and squids. Joan of Arc is my favorite historical-legendary-whatever figure. Number one, it’s a boyish, waifish girl in a suit of armor on a white horse, and that’s badass. I’ve always been attracted to that character because it was somebody who was willing to die for what they believed in, and they were probably fucking crazy and like, touched by the hand of God, and I believe in that shit. I totally believe in that stuff. I believe that it can happen to anybody. Like when we started this band, there was a brief amount of time where it felt like you drank gasoline and shit glass, and you were always covered in your own sweat, somebody else’s spit or blood or something. And I felt that, you know what I mean? I would make crazy speeches that made no sense onstage. I would talk about purifying flames being shot out of our cabinets at max volume to destroy evil and shit like that. I was, you know, touched in the head. And really, when you get touched in the head like that, I think your job at that point for the rest of your career is to remember what it was like to be touched in the head, and kind of keep that going. ‘Cause that can’t last forever, you’ll be dead, I think. Like Joan of Arc. So, yeah, I love Joan of Arc. And squids. Honestly, the shapes, the disgustingness of them, the suckers, the fact that they’re in the ocean. I’m a huge Hellboy fan so I draw lots of squids.
Who’s the coolest famous person you’ve ever met?Johnny Marr. It was in Norway at a festival. He was amazing. He came up to get something signed for his daughter, and I basically nerded out on him. We talked a lot about Portland, OR, because he’s living there and I’m thinking of living there.

Name three records on your current playlist.

1) LostAlone, Say No to the World. They’re a really young, three-piece band from Nottingham. It’s a perfect record. There aren’t a lot of those. It’s a rock band but it’s really new-sounding. It’s fresh. It makes me feel angsty again and I haven’t heard anything that makes me feel that way in a long time.
2) David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. I listen to that all the time, but lately I’ve been listening to it front to back. It’s my desert-island album.
3) Mew, Frengers. It’s the album before the new one, and it’s great. They’re one of my favorite new bands ever.

When do you think you’ll know it’s time to retire?

When inside it doesn’t feel special anymore. Or if I can’t keep a personal sense of ownership anymore. If we can’t keep a sense it’s ours anymore, we’ll walk away.

I don't condone Ted's behavior but who would have ever thought a state like South Dakota would have had a problem with it? Aren't they a bunch of gun nuts over there? If you're from SD and you're reading this page, we mean everyone except for you...

Shame on whoever bought this shit. How dare Fergie get 3 #1's off that album. Hell, off any album for that matter.

We know Courtney - you're amazing. You warn everyone of everything. Such a do-gooder that Courtney Love is.

As the Dandy Warhols might say: "I never thought you'd be in recovery because rehab is so passe." Speaking of, that video rules - watch it here.

Yeah, because it's f*cking hilarious. Forget Flava Flav, Bret Michaels has the lock-down on skanks.

I love Rob Zombie. Why? Because he's so damn intelligent. No, seriously.

"I'll violate you in the most sensual way."

HIM will be guesting on Bruce Dickinson's show September 21st. Click the link to find out show details.

Link

and here is some new footage from HIM's set at PR in Michigan:





Nine Inch Nails vs Smashing Pumpkins vs Sluts

Trent Reznor has taken issue with what he's sees as a corporate approach to the new Smashing Pumpkins.

"I was never a big SMASHING PUMPKINS fan back when they were the PUMPKINS, not to shit on Billy or anything but I don't hear anything that would make me want to care. I think trying to resurrect the name SMASHING PUMPKINS... it's all a bit corporate for me."

Nine Inch Nails was supposed to perform right before the Pumpkins at the Reading Festival mentioned below but when he found out who was on the lineup he opted out.

"I heard the lineup for another day and that sounded a lot better than the lineup on the day we are playing, so I doubt you will see me on the side of the stage for FALL OUT BOY!"

I've said it before and I'll say it again - he looks more and more like he could be my dad everytime I see him. Maybe when I said that I meant sugardaddy. I don't remember.
Speaking of Billy Corgan he apprently called American girls "sluts" while performing at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival this weekend. After seeing a half dressed girl come up on the jumbotron or whatever the hell that call those things he said, "There's something about a girl who's willing to take her top off so quickly. American girls are sluts too. See — isn't it great to be alternative — you can say all those things."

Firstly, he called British girls sluts too - or whatever nationality that girl with no clothes on was. Secondly, what the f*ck is he talking about? What does that even mean, the "isn't it great to be alternative" stuff? It doesn't even make any sense. He's been hanging out with Courtney Love too much.

Link it like you mean it

Avenged re-set release date of new album for two weeks later on October 30th.

Link

Misfits to tour with Glen Danzig partially involved.

Link

The only thing funnier than what she wrote about Patrick Stump is the fact that all the fangirls who commented on it proved her point.

Link

Panic! talk to RockSound about their new album.

Link

Easy cowboy, we don't need to know all that. Find out what Bret is packing. Yeah, I said packing.

Link

The Cure have cancelled their North American tour.

How do you stop Amy Winehouse from buying crack? Ask her father-in-law and he'll say to stop buying her albums. Amy's father, the one who "thinks she's fine" disagrees. No duh.

Why you think you here? I got no idea.

I really like Amy Winehouse. She's so damn talented and she's wasting it on blow. Some of you might not know she has a song from her first album called "F- Me Pumps". In the video she's healthy, and at least looks sober (who knows right?) Anyway, we here at Shame-free wish her a quick recovery. In the mean time - this video for the song from her first album "Frank", rules.



"You can't sit down right, cause your jeans are too tight and you're lucky it's ladies night. With your big empty purse, every week it gets worse. At least your breasts cost more than hers."

Pure genius

If it exists, it's on the internet

I'm going to start a new section because I seriously find some random shit on the internet. Here's a cute picture of Ville with Placebo lead singer Brian Molko.

Someone who posted as 'anonymous' says this isn't real. Totally Awesome Tracey thinks it's "Zoltan" former HIM keyboarist. Does anyone know for sure? I'll need some proof because I still think it looks like Brian Molko.

Alice Cooper models Varvados

Those of you who know me well know that I know a thing or ten about designer clothes. John Varvados, men's fashion designer (and creator of amazing fragrances) is featuring Alice Cooper for his new collection.Check out some other celebs (including Jack White) wearing John Varvados. It will load to the correct page.

Live footage for the masses

More footage from Avenged in Singapore. The sound quality sucks but it's a solid performance.

Link

I'm really trying to get into this album guys. I like the first single but I just don't get the direction they're going in. I know everything won't sound like GLS666 or RR, but seriously, I'm digging deep to like this "Bleed Well" song. I own every HIM album, all the HIM shit, blah, blah, blah, but if this album produces 5 great songs and 5 unlistenable ones like Dark Light did I'm going to be sorely disappointed.



Some Alice in Chains live performances - they're killer.

No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite syn greater than...

Avenged Sevenfold.

I know some of you folks out there don't like them. I won't lie, I think the political chitter chatter is obnoxious and they're pretty high on the sarcastic scale in the All Excess video - but who am I to judge, really? I'm quite the asshole myself. So call me a hypocrite - I love them and I don't care who knows it. ;)

New press pictures, new clip video and most importantly - a new song.
It's delicious.

Watch the video below to hear the new song or it's also posted at their MySpace.

So...I guess Gerard really isn't engaged anymore and if he is, he won't be for long. SCANDAL!!!! hahaha

Wow - who knew people could be so petty?

Whether temporarily or permanently the fact that Van Halen have erased or did erase Michael Anthony from their album covers listed on their site to replace him with Wolfgang, Eddie's son is quite possibly the most juvenile thing I have ever heard.

Got the itch to start some sh*t

I've heard so much about Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson I could puke. I'm worn out with the two of them. Do you think they coordinated the hats? If they did, they shouldn't have.


They were apparently embarrassed to have their picture taken with a KY intimacy kit. Yeah, I'm embarrassed just hearing about it, thanks. Ew.

A few days later I read she was jealous of other girls and acting all high-school and shit when people wanted a picture with him. What's with the facial expressions?


Then I see some silliness with Pete's modeling pics - here. Really? A model?

Finally, Vanity Fair has succumb to the silliness of the tabloids by putting Pete along with other, hmm...morally questionable characters in an article about boys who date starlets.
From left to right that would be Kevin Federline, Pete Wentz, Steve Aoki, Benji Madden, Cisco Adler and Joel Madden. God, they're all so amazing, especially that Kevin with the wife beater and shaved head - he looks like an extra from American History X.

As a side note (and one more pot to stir) I was recently stalking Jonny Radtke of Kill Hannah's MySpace profile and was lead to his girlfriend/wife. She's pretty, she's a model and she's also been hanging out with Cisco Adler (pictured above and also below). Why the F*CK is she hanging out with Cisco Adler? In case you're unfamiliar with him - get very familiar with him here <----fair warning: NSFW and really gross.

Hanging out with the likes of someone who is best know for that picture I told you was gross can't possibly lead to anything good.

A7X new song, "Almost Easy" live & new Fightstar

I like the song until it gets to the chorus - it's probably the sound quality. However, I know some you ladies will be disappointed but I do believe Syn has cut his hair again. Meow. ;)


I think Fightstar is a really underrated band. They're not revolutionary or particularly technically talented but they're good at what they're doing - much better than most other bands in this category - maybe the same could be said for me and this page, hahaha. Check out their new video, "We Apologize for Nothing."

She's crunk as a skunk

Finally, Amy Winehouse has been put on extended rest after suffering from exhaustion, and by exhaustion they mean a 2 year hangover. I keed, I keed, I jok-a wit you. Ok, not really, the chicks a drunk but I love her ass.

Somebody give her a cheeseburger - stat. ---->

She is also scheduled to appear in an episode of the Simpsons. Maybe she'll be Barney's girlfriend and they could change the lyrics to the Plow King song to add in screwed up relationships, and cancelling shows - I think they covered the booze part pretty well.

"When the snow starts a-fallin'
There's a man you should be callin'
That's KL5-4796,Let it ring!
Mr. Plow is a loser,
And I think he is a boozer,
So you better make that call to the Plow King!"

You don't want no drama, drama.

Courtney Love and Lily Allen have kissed and made up after someone apparently broke into Lily's MySpace and left this in a blog:

according to Yahoo, "I am not bfs (best friends) w/ (with) C (Courtney) Love, one night with her made me realise why Kurt (Cobain) killed himself."

I won't play detective here, but I know for a fact Lily has an incorrect habit of putting spaces after all of her commas and clearly whoever wrote this did not. - NEXT!

Courtney responded with a message on her own MySpace blog that Yahoo was kind enough to decipher - the original was completely illegible.

"I wouldn't pick on me if I was Miss Lily, as it wouldn't take TOO much to swat, but we've known each other far too long, like each other far too much and if she was gonna say something nasty she has the acerbic wit and intelligence to say something cutting, that would actually really hurt, not some cliched hoary old chestnut some obsessed blogger would say.

Oh girls - I'm glad we could all be friends.



Lordi's frontman is being attacked by Oderus of Gwar and not by the giant be-toothed vagina that usually attacks people at their shows. After finding out Lordi had cancelled their appearance at "Rue Morgue Horror Con" Oderus stated, "I am very saddened that this Finnish fuck lacks the balls to show up and meet the true master of this Earth, ME! I was planning on giving him his head back!"

Part of me wants to think he's kidding - most of me thinks he's not.
