Before the phrase “metal comedian” actually meant anything, Brian Posehn was one. Signing to Relapse instead of a traditional comedy label, doing routines on how yelling “Slayer” during anything makes it metal, and speaking from the perspective of the 40-something, pot-smoking semi-dorky metalhead that he is, he’s gained a large metal following.

As you probably know by now, Anthrax were forced to perform this past weekend without guitarist Scott Ian and drummer Charlie Benante. While Ian has since returned to the stage, Gene Hoglan is still filling in on drums while Benante is with his terminally ill mother. And now it turns out that bassist Frank Bello […]
