YAY! A much needed update!

I was again, searching through the interwebz, and stumbled upon this video. Unfortunately, there was no way to embed the video or to put it onto YouTube, so I have the link to it instead HERE

Joe actually talks quite a bit in the video, which is always nice to see too. ^_^

(P.S: I had to put the website through Babel Fish because it was originally in German.)

What do you get when you take half of Fall Out Boy, add the guitar players of Anthrax, and top it off with Every Time I Die singer Keith Buckley? You get the Damned Things, who started off June by playing their first-ever show to an enthusiastic crowd at Brooklyn, N.Y. venue The Knitting Factory. The six-piece band (which also includes ETID’s Josh Newton as touring bassist) blazed through a nine-song set sounding like a well-oiled hybrid of their full-time bands. In addition to getting their first show jitters out of the way, they also got to road-test material for their debut album, coming out on the Island label later this year.

The genesis of the Damned Things began several years ago when Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman met Anthrax axeman and frequent VH1 spokesperson Scott Ian. After writing together, they each brought another band member in (Fall Out Boy drummer Andy Hurley and Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano, respectively). Buckley was the last member to join.

While a supergroup consisting of those three bands sounds odd on paper, Trohman and Hurley were in metal and hardcore bands before Fall Out Boy blew up, and the common ground they have was evident while watching them play live for the first time. There were similarities to all three of their members’ original bands, but the Damned Things had a sound of their own. Buckley’s voice and range are immediately recognizable to any fan of Every Time I Die, but he sings more than in his main band. And the uptempo songs were definitely more rooted in straight up rock than punk or hardcore. And while choruses like the one on ‘We’ve Got a Situation Here’ could fit in on an a Fall Out Boy album. With their three guitar attack, the band sometimes sounded more like Kiss or Thin Lizzy, with dual guitar harmonies rounded out by Ian’s solid rhythmic riffing. (Read More Here!)

Ever wonder how band’s seem to come fully formed, right out of the rock and roll womb (if you will), already looking cooler than you’ve ever looked on the coolest day of your life? In this Buzzworthy Exclusive video, we learn how sausage is made. And by “sausage,” I mean The Ready Set’s image.

In this comedy sketch, which features Pete Wentz, head of Decaydance Records (home of The Ready Set), channeling Jeremy Piven from “Entourage” and Marlon Brando in “The Godfather,” sits down Jordan Witzigreuter and drops some “Bieber-isms” on him.

Wentz wants to dress Witzigreuter up, make him startime-ready. What follows is an 80′s-movie-style montage of Witzigreuter trying on all manner of contempo-rocker-casual clothes. The vid ends with Wentz’s words to live by: “Money, power, skinny jeans…the world is at your feet.” Real talk.

Check out the video below.
