That would be my understanding. I mean, they did win the Grammy.

The Grammy has nothing... NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! to do with TEH ROCKING.

Slayer have never won one.

More to the point, Slayer have never felt the need to kill everyone involved and PLUNDER one.

Slayer are a bunch of effete mummy's boys who are NOT TEH KINGZ OV RURK.

That title belongs to noble Australian vikings Wolfmother...

VIKINGS?

Do you see any plaited beards on Wolfmother?

Do you see any guitars in the shape of medieval weaponry?

Dost thou bear witness to any furred swaddling boots?

Or hear them blowing horns made of walrus tusk?

The answer to all these questions is NAY!

Thus I say: These are not VIKINGS!

THESE ARE SQUIRRELS!

I suspect Pepsi Max was taking the piss.

Although...

Do you see any guitars in the shape of medieval weaponry?

Do ANY bands have these? I mean, like, crazy for-real bands of the Manowar / Bal-Sagoth variety?

Would be good to see.

BEWARE THE HAMMER OF THOR (especially when he takes a solo on it)!

Apart from KISS...

Andof course it's only a mic stand, but...

I have two words for Wolfmother, and they are "second album".

They're so horrendously overplayed here - and the egos the boys have developed in such short order are pretty disproportionate to their actual, yanno, abilities.

Slayer did win a Grammy this year.

Category 18

Best Metal Performance
(For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances, with vocals. Singles or Tracks only.)

Eyes Of The Insane
Slayer
Track from: Christ Illusion
[American]

Wolfmother are still really, really bad though.

Rothkoid> The second album bane stimulates no fear in Wolfmother!!!

They will simply rerelease the first one.

And no one will care.

For at least another 6 months.

On the other hand, if it stops people listening to Eskimo Joe, I'm all for it.

PLEASE say that hasn't hit the UK yet? US, they're signed to Rykodisc. Forewarned is forearmed.

Oh yeah, Wolfmother all over here. Seem to have been taken in by NME "types".

The Return Of Rothkoid

13:45 / 30.04.07

Nonono. I know Wolfmother are over there... I'm hoping Eskimo Joe haven't made it yet...

ZF!

20:21 / 30.04.07

Hmm, that Eskimo Joe is quite vile too!

No it hasn't hit.

Hoping it never does.

Pepsi Max

23:16 / 30.04.07

Rothkoid> But the Eskies (as we all call them in my hair salon) are so American is their whining, angsty gee-tar rawk.

Hmmm, plastic, trying hard to be cool, full of piss, "eskie' isn't so inappropriate after all...

I know, Pepsi: that's why I'm afear'd. I'm sure they'll fucking take over if they somehow get out. Black Fingernails, Red Wine is just horrid. They used to be a regular indie band before their management decided to turn them into Emo Joe...

I unwittingly tore them a new arsehole at a pizza place in Lorne just before Falls Fest last year. They were, er, in the next booth. Ahem. Good job, though - the plastic-mac covered version of U2's New Year's Day they did the next day was one of the most woeful fucking things I have ever been witness to.

Back to topic at hand, Wolfmother have apparently said that they want to record their next album in a solar-powered recording studio. At least, when they were mining Earth Hour for publicity they did.

Pepsi Max

13:15 / 01.05.07

Surely they could power their studio from the static charge created by their singer's hair? Combined with their fondness for artifical fibre the electrical field must be IMMENSE.

If you had actually torn Eskimo Joe a new hole LITERALLY I would have to bow down & worship you. On the other hand, that might give them an other orifice to emit sound from...

I think that singer's the sole reason there's no mobile coverage in Lorne when Falls is on. I honestly do.
