1. Megadeth -- Dave Mustaine
   In 2005, Megadeth was the headbanging, headlining act of Dave Mustaine's GIGANTOUR, a tour founded on the principles of "fan-friendly" pricing and accessibility to the music. Mustaine's vision for GIGANTOUR was to "put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment." 2005's inaugural GIGANTOUR did just that and was an immense success. Arsenal of Megadeth contains previously unreleased concert footage from the tour, including a live performance of Megadeth's metal anthem, "Peace Sells."
2. Godsmack -- Bands
   Godsmack is a hard rock / alternative metal band from Boston, Massachusetts, USA formed in 1996. They are often categorized by critics as a nu metal band, but most fans insist otherwise; their music contains very few of the essential nu metal elements.
3. Mastodon -- Blood Mountain
   After playing Ozzfest last year, Mastodon started working on songs for Blood Mountain. They wrote tirelessly for five and a half weeks, about two weeks longer than they had to write Leviathan. The extra time gave them the luxury to demo the songs before they recorded them - something they'd never had the chance to do - as well as experiment with different techniques that give the songs extra flavor and texture. "Circle Cysquatch" features a harrowing vocoder voiceover, "Bladecatcher" includes squelching vocals that sound like an angry R2D2 and "Crystal Skull" opens with tinny tribal clatter before thundering into the opening riff.
4. Pantera -- Bands
   Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, that formed in 1981. Influenced by classic thrash metal acts such as Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, Pantera was a key formulator of the groove metal (post-thrash) subgenre of heavy metal music. It would not be until nine years after forming that Pantera saw its first bit of commercial success in its major label debut, Cowboys from Hell. From there, Pantera became one of the most celebrated heavy metal bands of the 199...Read More >
5. Balrog -- Balrogs
   Because a Balrog was no real webs, "webs" in the preceding passage refers to the webs of shadow and does so in a natural way. However, the preceding argument has not advanced the case that Balrogs have no wings, and neither has it hindered it. The reasoning is circular at this point. You choose to read the passages as literal because you have already assumed that Balrogs have wings, or you choose to read them as figurative because you have assumed they do not. The correct stance, at this point, is to say there is a case for both sides.
6. Slayer -- Bands
   Grammy Award winning thrash band Slayer is on the road for one of the most anticipatedtours of the summer, which ... featuring Marilyn Manson. Slayer burst onto the music scene in 1981 and has been garnering music fans across the world with their speed demon metal guitar riffs for over twenty years.
7. Kid Rock -- Rocker Kid Rock
   Pamela Anderson is over the moon that Kid Rock has proposed to her, according to her publicist. Pam, 34, is set to tie the knot for the second time with 31-year-old Rock, real name Bob Ritchie, after he proposed on Thursday night outdoors in the Las Vegas desert. Publicist Marleah Leslie confirms that Rock gave Pammy a ring although no date has been set, adding, "She's elated." The couple began dating in April 2001 when they met backstage at VH1's diva salute to Aretha Franklin at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. It will be the second marriage for the pneumatic blonde, who is locked in a nasty child custody battle over sons Brandon and Dylan with rocker Tommy Lee. Rock has a young son whom he raises with the help of his sister in northern Michigan, but he's never been married.
8. Ozzy Osbourne -- Black Sabbath
   Ozzy Osbourne was the lead singer of heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath. The band formed in 1968 and included guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. They cranked up the volume, capitalized on a wild 'black magic' image and recorded now-classic albums of heavy rock, including Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1971) and Master of Reality (1971). Ozzy left the band in 1979 and the fans followed him. Not only did he have hit records, he was a magnet for controversy: in 1982 his guitarist, Randy Rhoades, was killed when the plane he was riding in buzzed the tour bus and crashed; he once bit the head off a bat while on stage, giving himself a rabies scare; he bit the head off a dove in the offices of record executives he felt were ignoring him; he was sued over his song "Suicide Solution" by the parents of a teenage fan who had killed himself (the case was dismissed); and he was arrested in 1982 for urinating on a historical "shrine" -- The Alamo. Along the way he toured and released successful albums such as Blizzard of Ozz (1980), Bark at the Moon (1983), Ultimate Sin (1986) and Ozzmosis (1995).
