Bigger the cushion, sweeter the pushin'

Who says fat girls get no love? A new all-star compilation is in the works to glorify all those classic rock tunes about buxom beauties. “Whole Lotta of Love: An All Star Salute to Fat Chicks” will be some of the best known metalers getting together to cover the best known tunes about our favorite plus sized hotties. Some of the tunes to be covered will be “Fat Bottom Girl” by Queen, AC/DC's “Whole Lotta Rosie,” Poison's “Unskinny Bob,” and even “Bit Bottom” by Spinal Tap. LA Guns' Phil Lewis, who is intimate with the project, said “There is much to be said for those exquisite women who are built for comfort, rather than speed … Let's hear it for the plush princesses who are confident in their curves! You truly do make my rockin' world go 'round.” Lewis joins musicians from all across the metal spectrum; from Ratt, to TNT, to Cinderella, Jackyl and even Twisted Sister, just to name a few. This must-have album is due out August 31st, from Split Screen Entertainment. Get more details and hear some samples at the project's MySpace Page because fatties need love too!

Clash of the Titans, take two

It's the Big Four, minus one. Leg two of the “American Carnage” tour will feature Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth, but not Metallica. The tour kicks off in September and will hit up 20 dates. The closest the tour resembling the “Clash of the Titans” tour will come to central Illinois is Fr. Wayne, Indiana on October 14th. Megadeth will once again be playing their entire album “Rust in Peace” from beginning to end. Slayer has their album “Seasons of the Abyss” lined up and ready to perform. Anthrax is hooking back up with singer Joey Belladonna, who is credited with leading the band during their hayday. There will be a pre-orders for the tour on three band's websites. This seems to be a sign that the Big Four may not be touring the states as had been hoped by fans across the country.
