You're just buying the bullshit that the labels are selling. Are you insinuating that Slayer couldnt play the bills with their music? Cause that's an ignorant argument to make. Dave Grohl just sells what the mainstream labels tell him to, by "shouting out" to Slayer he's pulling a wider audience "the metalheads" to look at his music and buy albums. What am I doing to promote metal? A he'll of a lot more than paying a record company to release more god-awful shut music. I support real metal, and the smaller labels that don't have corporate backing. I’m the ignorant one? You’re just buying the bullshit that the labels are selling.

Don't open your mouth about something you know nothing about. If you've seen any interview with him, you'd know that metal (yes, including Slayer) is his music of choice, and he grew up on it just like the rest of us. Yeah, 90% of Foo Fighters songs are kinda "wimpy", but it pays the bills for him. He never said the Foo's music was comparable to Slayer, that's not the point. BTW, he's done a lot of side projects that were pretty damn heavy, just because he loves it. Also, it allows him a platform to tell people that metal kicks ass, just like he did on the Grammys. What are you doing to promote metal? Except tear down people that actually play musical instruments. Why not use some of that hate for the real enemy....rap and hip hop "artists" that have absolutely no business being labeled as musicians. Are you really that f’ing ignorant?

You kind of sound ignorant. Shia did an amazing job on it. I'm also sure the single is going to be out sooner than May because Manson starts touring this month and has said the single will be "shoved up your ass very soon". The album is what you probably heard was coming out in May. Umm, have you not seen Born Villain? You kind of sound ignorant. Shia did an amazing job on it.

Now we get 2 helpings of ozzy instead of variety. And can someone tell me what the hell sharon and his kids have to do with music? I buy XM because of the music. Now it is an ozzy promotion channel. That is what free radio is for. Agreed – boneyard was great. Now we get 2 helpings of ozzy instead of variety. And can someone tell me what the hell sharon and his kids have to do with music?

The 30 sec. clips of Ozzy, even Sharon, don't bother me that much but they have brought in these stupid comedy and roast shows, with some idiot (maybe Ozzy himself) giggling in the background, it is so completely stupid and annoying. I just bought Sirius/XM for a year recently, specifically for Boneyard. Now I wish I hadn't. It's so bad, I hate it! And Eddie!!! I don't know anyone else who can put on a show with more informative and interesting facts, guests, and conversations than Eddie. If I have listen to Winger or Poison on Hair Nation while waiting for the Trunk show, I think I'll blow my brains out. PLEASE, somebody do something! Let's get back to what matters. And Ozzy too, stick to making awesome music, leave the rest alone. You don't have to have more than Gene Simmons to be who you are! I can’t stand it.

I listen to The Boneyard all day and I always find myself tuning out when Eddie Trunk opens his mouth during his 'show'. If I wanted to hear Eddie run his mouth about his personal life and how he's best buds with everyone in the metal industry I'd fucking ask him. Kudos to Ozzy and Sharron for taking over The Boneyard, changing the programming and getting rid of that tool. I now have no need to tune out! I agree with Gus completely.
