David Ellefson (MEGADETH) conducted an interview with legendary rocker Alice Cooper backstage at the fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods awards on May 2 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, California. You can now watch the chat below.

In what is obviously a “dream” pairing, or some might say a “nightmare,” Cooper and Marilyn Manson will be teaming up for the “Masters Of Madness” tour June 1 through June 28. Following recent pairings of Alice with Rob Zombie and then Rob Zombie with Manson, this combination of Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson has been long-awaited by fans of both artists.

Alice Cooper is a true rock icon, having pioneered the use of theatrics and shocking images onstage in concerts from the earliest days of the original band of the same name. Since going solo, he has continued to produce elaborate stage shows providing fans with both shock and rock of the highest caliber. Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2011, Alice has toured and recorded continuously, with his most recent album being “Welcome 2 My Nightmare” through UMe. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original ground breaking, multi-platinum “Welcome To My Nightmare” album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.

Currently, Alice‘s touring band features the three-guitar attack of Orianthi, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, backed by bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel.

PHILIP ANSELMO: Remembers SLAYER’s JEFF HANNEMAN In New Video Interview

Philip Anselmo (DOWN, PANTERA) spoke to Metal Injection on the “black carpet” at the fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods awards on May 2 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, California. You can now watch the chat below.

Anselmo, who was up for “Best Vocalist” at this year’s Revolver Golden Gods awards, will release his career-first solo album, “Walk Through Exits Only”, on July 16 via his own Housecore Records (MRI/Megaforce). “Walk Through Exits Only” will be available digitally, on CD and on vinyl.

Produced by Anselmo and Michael Thompson, and recorded over the past couple of years at Philip‘s New Orleans studio, Nodferatu’s Lair, with his band THE ILLEGALS — guitarist Marzi Montazeri (ex-SUPERJOINT RITUAL) and drummer José Manuel Gonzales (WARBEAST) — “Walk Through Exits Only” is abrasive, aggressive, anthemic and 100% Anselmo. The album’s eight songs are as unstrained as it gets, from “Battalion Of Zero” to “Usurper’s Bastard Rant”, to the album’s title track that goes against the grain and right through the exits. Brash, brutal guitars cut through punishing percussion as Anselmo screams with uncompromising ferocity and uncontainable fire.

“It wasn’t about doing a paint-by-numbers thrash or heavy metal record,” Anselmo explained about the project. “It’s an angry album that only I could do. I don’t see anybody else out there screaming about the same shit I’m screaming about. On this album, there isn’t any wordplay, there isn’t any hidden message, it’s all right there in front of you.”

Anselmo and THE ILLEGALS will support the new album with a major North American tour planned for this summer.

ROB ZOMBIE/ex-MARILYN MANSON guitar virtuoso John 5 was named “Best Guitarist” at the fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods award show presented by Epiphone this past Thursday (May 2) at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, California.

John 5 is one of the most sought-after players and composers of the last decade. His ability to play many styles to perfection on multiple-stringed instruments, from guitar to banjo, has led him to being one of the newest trailblazers in the music industry. He has won the hearts of thousands, and even the legendary Les Paul gave John 5 the ultimate compliment by saying, “Not many people impress me, but tonight you did.”

“I’m so honored that I got the best guitarist award for the fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods awards,” states John 5. “It really does mean the world to me and thank you to all the fans that have voted.”

Best known for his early stint with MARILYN MANSON and mostly his current home of the last nine years with ROB ZOMBIE, John 5 has written with an eclectic group of artists — a list that includes MEAT LOAF, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, David Lee Roth and Rob Halford — and recently penned the first U.K. single, with Kevin Savigar, from Rod Stewart‘s new album, “Time”. Speaking about the collaboration, John 5 said: “Rod is a tremendous artist to work with and it’s an absolute honor to co-write this song with him. I hope everyone enjoys it.”

SLAYER’s KERRY KING Leads ‘Moment Of Noise’ In Honor Of JEFF HANNEMAN (Video)

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King led the crowd in a “moment of noise” followed by a toast in honor of the band’s late axeman Jeff Hanneman at the Revolver Golden Gods on Thursday night (May 2) in Los Angeles. Video footage of King‘s tribute can be seen below.

Hanneman died at about 11 a.m. yesterday (Thursday, May 2) near his Southern California home. He was 49. Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure.

Hanneman had been on hiatus from SLAYER since early 2011, when he contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating disease that doctors believed might have been caused by a spider bite. Hanneman almost lost his arm, and was briefly placed in a medically induced coma. After a series of skin grafts, he had been working on his physical rehabilitation. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry.

In a March 1, 2013 interview with MetalObsession.net‘s Nick Tevelis, King stated about Jeff Hanneman‘s health status: “I don’t have an update. I haven’t seen Jeff in forever. He’s always been a recluse, and he’s even been more of a recluse since he’s not going on tour with us. But our manager talks to him from time to time and sees him in L.A. just randomly. But I’m far from L.A., so I’m not in that loop. But I guess he’s just getting better. It’s just one of those things where he can do anything in life. He could be hanging here having a good time with us. He can probably play ‘South Of Heaven’, but he’s not gonna be playing ‘Jihad’, you know what I mean?! So it’s just a muscle memory kind of thing, I guess, at this point.”

Asked whether Jeff had been involved in the songwriting process for the new SLAYER album, Kerry said: “It’s just all my stuff for now. But I did that just in case, ’cause I don’t know what Jeff‘s intentions are. So I wanted to have SLAYER covered in case he doesn’t come to the party. If he comes to the party, then we’ve got tons of songs.”

Regarding whether contingencies had been made in case Jeff doesn’t make it back to SLAYER in the near future, Kerry said: “I think Gary [Holt, EXODUS guitarist who has been filling in for Jeff for the past couple of years] is in for the long haul. I haven’t really discussed it with him. But he keeps his schedule free when he knows we’re on tour. And I’m pretty sure, if Jeff all of a sudden came back in June, we would probably pay Gary for freeing up his time. I don’t wanna treat somebody that’s bailed us out for two years badly. But if Gary played with us forever? I’m OK with that. But if Jeff got better and said, ‘Hey, man, I’m ready to play,’ and he came to rehearsal and showed us he was good enough, that’s his show.”

The fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods award show presented by Epiphone has gotten even bigger with the announcement of a special performance by DANZIG, including a special MISFITS set with Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, along with appearances by some of the biggest names in hard rock and heavy metal. Taking place Thursday, May 2 at Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles, the sold-out event will be broadcast live on national television for the first time through AXS TV and broadcast in the United States and key international markets through Xbox LIVE and Revolver‘s Facebook page. In addition, May 2 will be declared Golden Gods Day in the City of Los Angeles, with Councilwoman Jan Perry opening the show with an official proclamation.

Danzig will take the stage at this year’s show with fellow MISFITS legend Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein for a very special live MISFITS set. The highly anticipated performance joins previously announced live sets by METALLICA, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, ANTHRAX, STONE SOUR, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and HALESTORM. As always, the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods award show will feature one-of-a-kind surprise collaborations that honor the past, present and future of heavy music.

FOZZY frontman and WWE pro-wrestling legend Chris Jericho will reprise his role as host for the fourth consecutive year. Returning as well is the Black Carpet pre-show special, which will be hosted by iconic heavy-metal frontman Sebastian Bach and SiriusXM‘s Jose Mangin. The special will air on AXS TV, Xbox LIVE and Revolver‘s Facebook page. The Xbox LIVE broadcast will unite viewers around the world with the hash tag #XboxGoldenGods. Tweets with this hash tag will run across the bottom of Xbox LIVE members’ screens throughout the Black Carpet and the awards show. The Xbox LIVE broadcast will also integrate unique second screen experiences on smartphones and tablets through the free Xbox SmartGlass app.

Fans everywhere were given the opportunity to vote to help decide who will take home the awards for Best Guitarist, Best Drummer, Best Vocalist, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Live Band, Best New Talent, Most Metal Athlete, Comeback Of The Year, Paul Gray Best Bassist and Most Dedicated Fans. Voting ended on April 15 with over 3.25 million fans weighing in, and the results will be unveiled live during the show.

This year’s Golden God Award, which is given to one special honoree a year who embodies the spirit of hard rock and metal, will go to Rob Zombie. Performers and hard-rock icons METALLICA will receive the Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Riff Lord Award , given each year to a legendary guitarist in the field of hard rock and heavy metal, will go to none other than BLACK SABBATH axeman Tony Iommi.

Also, the first-ever Revolver Road To The Golden Gods Tour, featuring STONE SOUR, IN THIS MOMENT and HELL OR HIGHWATER, is crossing the country right now. The multi-city national tour kicked off in March and will conclude at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods awards show.
