Since old Metafilter is down, let me introduce you to one of my favourite scandal mongering web sites:
In the 20 Questions section, Metal Sludge asks different metal has-beens to dish dirt on each other. Dee Snider's is quite enjoyable. Here's an example quote:
13. Which do you prefer & why: John Denver or Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa! You know, but uh, I got to tell you boy, that John Denver had a voice like a bell! Like a bell, I tell ya!! He was the Rocky Mountain High! It's so weird, you know, after you come to know people, it's very difficult to not like them anymore. You know, and a case in point for that one would be Fleetwood Mac. I HATED Fleetwood Mac. Hated, hated, hated. And I wound up at this record industry function and I wound up spending a good part of the day with Stevie Nicks and she was really cool. She wasn't an asshole at all. And all of a sudden I'm sitting there going, "you know, that 'Rhiannon,' that's a pretty catchy tune." (Dee laughs). You can't really hate her with quite the same venom when they're actually like not assholes. You know, you want 'em to be assholes.
Or, for those of you've who have always wondered who has the biggus dickus in metal, you can always check out The Long and the Short of It, compiled from groupies everywhere. Not Safe For Work, unless you work for Ron Jeremy.
Go, go, go, touch your inner mullet!

I wonder if he's really so clueless.

Posted by: anathema on January 14, 2003 02:42 PMThe best is when they make fun of someone and that someone can't take the joke, so they make fun of them more.
See Edsel Dope Rewind (a Rewind is when they do it again, so he should have known what was coming).
Ha ha ha, in response to one of his paranoid answers, Metal Sludge wrote this:
SLUDGE SAYS: Didn't you say earlier you were over talking shit about Murderdolls? And can you take credit for more shit? I did this, I did that, I introduced so and so to so and so, I helped this guy, I bought him this, that, patty whack, give the dog a bone. Whatever dude. We're not pissed off if you stay in Dope because we'd have to care about you first to be pissed off. But let's lay it out for you, Dope is the new Slaughter, except Slaughter has sold more records and is better known. On second thought, Dope is more like the new Trixter....no, Trixter had more success than Dope too. Lets see, Dope is like the new Bang Tango. Or Dope Tango, if you will.
I love this kind of stuff.

12. Give us a touring memory about the following cities:
***
Detroit = a sea of Beavis and Buttheads
I read this to mean that the only Detroiters that went to see Nelson were the dorks. In other words, the average Detroiter wouldn't have been caught dead at a Nelson show. We'll take that as a compliment, Matt. (And wouldn't that be "Beavises" or "Beavi"?)

Posted by: quonsar on January 14, 2003 03:10 PMmatt nelson! that's so funny, my friend was in aspen, co this past weekend and matthew nelson was staying at the b&b our friend works at. apparently he was sitting in the lobby playing his guitar with a group of people around him. the staff pretended that they didn't know who he was. "oh, you play guitar?"
Posted by: witchstone on January 14, 2003 03:18 PMheh. It's probably hard to recognize him without the hair extensions.
Posted by: pardon me on January 14, 2003 03:19 PMThanks for sharing the site, Witchstone. Iteresting reading on 20 questions, errr more.

**makes devil horns(correctly this time so don't be a weisenheimer, witchy** They are digging up some ghosts,aren't they ?
plus...the great one himself..
Posted by: jonmc on January 14, 2003 03:38 PMI see they've updated the "Long and Short of It" considerably since I last read it...though I'm not sure I care how the singer from Sum 41 is in bed.
Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 14, 2003 03:46 PMThe Sum 41 singer? That would depend on whether on not he has his teddy and special blanky.
Also, until a few moments ago, I had never heard the term "dirty onion ring." It's just begging to be used on some bars appetizer menu, isn't it?
Posted by: jonmc on January 14, 2003 03:59 PMTMT > I wonder if [Andrew WK is] really so clueless.
He went to my high school. He started the year after I graduated. He may be a space cadet, but to draw a comparison between Detroit-area music titans, I'd rather hear him ramble than hear Eminem bait his arch-nemesis Moby for the fiftieth time -- but I'd rather hear the Dirtbombs than either of them.
Posted by: Britain on January 14, 2003 05:34 PMTonight, I am rediscovering my love of Megadeth. At the moment, Moto Psycho is playing, and I feel like a kid again.
Until I try to get up from this low chair. But that'll be much, much later, and until then we'll just pretend the old knees are still spry.

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
