Machine Head upset by Limp Bizkit billing

8 July 2009 8:58 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Machine Head have withdrawn from this summer's Sonisphere festival at Knebworth after Limp Bizkit were booked to play above them. The band had initially been hired to play on the Apollo Stage at the festival but have pulled out of the August 2 event. A statement on the band's website read: "In a turn of events that has left us absolutely baffled, the promoter of the UK Sonisphere festival recently placed, unbeknownst to us, Limp Bizkit in our third slot on the festival. "Bizarrely, it was actually expected that we would quietly move down the bill without issue. We will not. We have regrettably been (more)

Mastodon Roll Out Custom Beer, Sneaker Line

6 July 2009 11:11 AM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

Rock memorabilia can be pretty limited: There are T-shirts, hoodies, the odd hat and the occasional piece of underwear. But fantastically intense metal band Mastodon have diversified their band-associated swag portfolio.

First, they’ve developed their own beer. With the help of German brewery Mahr’s Bräu, the band developed a limited-edition lager that was only available to the band and the people surrounding them at Sonisphere, a festival also featuring Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Nine Inch Nails. Only 200 bottles were produced, and there aren’t currently any plans to make any more.

But if you really want to own a unique piece of Mastodon, then you have options, like these sneakers that use album art. The shoes — two pairs of high-tops and two pairs of slides — borrow the art from the group’s 2006 album Blood Mountain and are currently available for pre-order (though they’re supposed to

30 June 2009 3:14 PM, PDT | From QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news

This is the first dvd release post we've done in a while because there's been quite a dry spell over the last month or so. Well not this week! There a few Quiet Earth faves hitting the shops this week so lets go through them.

First up is the short film comp, Tokyo!, (review here) featuring vignettes from Michele Gondry, Bong Joon-ho, and Leos Carax. I've heard mixed things about the film so I'm looking forward to checking it out for myself.

Next up is Fred Durst's The Education of Charlie Banks which comes to us from Anchor Bay. We've been eying this indie throwback for a while now.

Also out this week are three sweet Asian titles, Hideo Nakata's Kaidan , Minoru Kawasaki's Kaiju extravaganza Monster X Strikes Back, and Elliott Hong's 1982 classic They Call me Bruce?.

Five Favorite Films with Fred Durst

29 June 2009 2:33 AM, PDT | From Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news

F. Scott Fitzgerald once said there are no second acts in American lives. Obviously, he never met Fred Durst. Best known as the lead singer for rap/rockers Limp Bizkit, Durst has always had a passion for movies. His debut, The Education of Charlie Banks (out this week on DVD), tells the tale of an uneasy friendship between Charlie (Jesse Eisenberg) and Mick (Jason Ritter), a tough kid from his old neighborhood. When Charlie goes to an elite college, Mick follows him there, and for a while it appears he's smoothed out his rough edges, before old tensions come back to...

Michael Jackson Twitter-Wood Report: Paris Hilton’s Family Photo And Arnold Schwarzenegger

26 June 2009 11:20 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

The memorial tweets continued long after I checked the Twitter-Wood feed last night and posted the flurry of reactions to Michael Jackson’s death that were showing up. Today, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger offered his condolences and Paris Hilton, in addition to a steady stream of thoughts about the King of Pop’s death, posted a recent family photo taken with Jackson.

There will surely be more before today’s regular Twitter-Wood update goes up later today, but in the meantime, here are the day’s most recent Michael Jackson-related tweets from Jon Favreau, Mariel Hemingway, Michael Ian Black, and others.

@Schwarzenegger We lost a great entertainer and a pop icon. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michael Jackson’s family, friends and fans.

25 June 2009 5:10 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

Mere hours after Michael Jackson’s death in Los Angeles, nearly everyone in the Twitter-Wood feed has already logged on to tweet their reactions to the loss of the King of Pop. While details surrounding this evening’s events are still coming to light, I wanted to assemble a special report that demonstrates how big of a role his contributions from “Thriller” to “Captain Eo” have played in the popular culture we all share.

Has the bad economy cramped your vacation plans this summer? Well, today in Twitter-Wood you can feel free to live vicariously through Paris Hilton’s trip to Dubai, Fred Durst’s continuing adventures in Poland, and Diablo Cody’s plans to hit up Dollywood. Did you know that Dollywood was still open? Because I didn’t.

There were plenty of follow-up tweets today, too, picking up where we left off with Tom Felton’s hair-dying for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows” the collective Twitterverse’s reactions to “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Andy Milonakis, meanwhile, get a hat-tip for audio tweet of the day with his personal contribution to the online Perez Hilton/will.i.am conversation.

List This: The Worst Movie Songs of All Time

23 June 2009 3:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Movie music has certainly changed over the years. What was once the domain of an orchestra and studio musicians is long gone, and now the top-40 soundtrack reigns supreme. Sometimes it works, like in the case of Martin Scorsese's use of pop music, and sometimes it really doesn't -- and that's where today's list comes in. Spin has compiled what they say are the worst movie songs of all time, so make sure your earplugs are handy because we're about to look back at the Top 10 Worst Movie Songs, Ever!

So let's get right to the list, shall we? Grabbing the top spot for the worst of all time was P. Diddy and Jimmy Page's Kashmir update for Godzilla, Come With Me. But if you thought that song was bad, wait till you get a load of the other nominees, including Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap, Limp Bizkit

Durst: 'Limp Bizkit were used to torture'

20 June 2009 5:20 PM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Fred Durst has revealed that Limp Bizkit were used by many fans as a way to "torture" other people, it has been reported. The frontman-turned-filmmaker has admitted that a segment of his band's fan base were bullies that were using their music as "fuel" to ridicule others. Durst told Rolling Stone: "For years I looked into the crowd and saw a bunch of bullies and assholes who tortured me and ruined my life. They were using my music as fuel to torture other people, even dressing like me. The music was being misinterpreted and the irony affected me and we stepped away. "I can just hope for the best and (more)

Twitter-Wood: The Chinese President, ‘Gears of War 2′ And A ‘Twilight’ Star’s Parking Ticket

19 June 2009 5:15 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

The Twitter-Wood feed spanned the globe today, with Fred Durst contemplating a unlikely invitation in Croatia, Miley Cyrus discovering a new crush, and Kevin Spacey talking about his next film now that he’s wrapped “Casino Jack.”

It was a good day for some, like Miley and Rainn Wilson, who is suddenly intrigued by “Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus,” and Jeremy Piven, who is on his way to a benefit for his parents’ theater company. Elizabeth Banks and Peter Facinelli, however, weren’t so lucky, as you’ll find out below in the Twitter-Report for June 19, 2009.

Fred Durst Thoughts pt 1: @freddurst Chinese President just arrived at our hotel in Croatia. It is literally a madhouse. I’m going to ring his rm to play xbox 360 & sip cognac.

First Limp Bizkit Reunion Show In U.S. Will Be At Ufc 100

11 June 2009 8:43 AM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

The Limp Bizkit “Unicorns N’ Rainbows” reunion tour has been underway for almost a month, and the band has finally announced the first U.S. stop on the tour. The newly reconstituted band will headline The Beach at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Friday, July 10 as part of the Ufc Fan Expo, leading up to the history Ufc 100 on July 11.

It has been eight years since the original lineup (including just-returned guitarist Wes Borland) has played a show in North America. It’s an appropriate return, as a band who had a huge hit called “Break Stuff” makes perfect sense as the opening act for a mixed martial arts event. If you won’t be in Vegas to watch Brock Lesnar take on Frank Mir and see Thiago “The Pitbull” Alves challenge Geroges “Rush” St-Pierre, the concert will also stream live on Ufc.com.

'90s band reunions: Good idea or bad idea?

10 June 2009 8:43 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

It may be 2009, but this summer touring and release schedule could easily pass for 1997. No Doubt, Blink-182, Sugar Ray, Faith No More, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Third Eye Blind, Jane's Addiction, Alice In Chains, Blur... all of these acts have reconvened in some fashion and are re-enterting the musical landscape like a crush on your conscience. Below, HitFix music correspondents Melinda Newman and Katie Hasty -- who both successfully survived the '90s in their own unique fashion -- debate via instant message the central thread of these reuniting acts: was this a good idea or a bad idea?    ...

Dave Matthews Band’s Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King: Wackiest #1 Album Title Ever?

10 June 2009 1:35 PM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

I know that Dave Matthews Band’s new #1 album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, is a tribute to their late saxophonist LeRoi Moore, so I feel weird making fun of it. I applaud the band’s devotion to the guy, and his death is genuinely tragic. But seriously: Is that title not the biggest “Wtf?” in the history of top-of-the-chart records?

I was curious, so I did a little digging. As it happens, there are a number of other titles that looked a little weird, or were hard to say, or otherwise just seemed ridiculous representing the most-bought album in this country. Before I get to the list, I want to make two points. First of all, it’s really interesting going back in time to look at the chart-topping albums through the years. This is especially true when you get into the ’80s and early ’90s, where single

Twitter-Wood: A ‘Harry Potter’ Star Visits The Louvre and Fred Durst Gushes About ‘Iron Man 2′

9 June 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

Today on Twitter, Jon Favreau and Russell Brand both dropped some notes about films that they’re currently making, while Fred Durst and Larry King mentioned some movies that they’ve been excited about recently.

Durst isn’t the only one excited about “Iron Man 2,” though. Favreau showed he has a sense of humor about the tightened security surrounding his movie’s production and detail leaks with a little re-tweeted — or Rt’ed, to use the Twitter vernacular — picture humor. All that and more today in your Twitter-Wood feed for Tuesday, June 9, 2009.
