Woods of Ypres frontman David Gold has uploaded three more songs from "Woods IV: The Green Album" onto YouTube! Luckily for us, these are all songs we haven't heard before! First is "Suicide Cargoload (Drag That Weight)", which is very heavy, bordering on death metal through much of it! There's also "And I Am Pining (For You)", which is pure doom metal, and very catchy! The final song uploaded is "You Are Here With Me (In This Sequence Of Dreams)", which features a special guest, Ottawa classical guitarist Musk Ox! David describes the song as a "metal lullaby", and that's accurate! These, plus the four songs he uploaded over the last few days, are all available to check out on David's YouTube channel! And if you count "Track 17" from Stereo Soul Studios' website, half the album's been leaked!Great stuff so far, but I'll hold my full criticism until early December, when I properly review "The Green Album"! I'll show you guys one of the songs on here, so check out "And I Am Pining (For You)"!
Next up, more Kiss stuff! It just keeps coming back, doesn't it? First, if you were on SooToday on Wednesday, you probably noticed an article about local businessman Ted Brooks, who managed to buy 72 (Count em, 72) Kiss tickets for the December 15th show! How, you ask? Well, he owns Easy Express, who have a luxury suite at The Essar Center. Suite owners get dibs on 16 tickets if they want them. Adding to that, presales through the Kiss Army fanclub had a glitch that allowed people to buy tickets past the set limit of 4 until sold out by refreshing the page constantly. Brooks joined the Kiss Army and did just that, then picked up 8 more through Eventful's pre-sale for Kiss demanders. I expect people would complain that some businessman messed with the system to steal tickets from real Kiss fans, but he was not the only one who discovered this glitch, and he actually resold all of his tickets at the original sale price. I just hope the people who bought them from Ted Brooks aren't all just fellow businessmen who aren't really fans of Kiss.
The same article points out that through a search of online ticket sites finds that at least 8 ticket sites are selling tickets for the Sault Ste. Marie Kiss show, with no listed tickets going for cheaper than $156 (which is $56.50 higher than they SHOULD cost.) Before you go insane, a crosscheck of the sites found that there's only 172 unique tickets available, so maybe it wasn't as big of a deal as people made it sound? Also, SooToday has ran two polls in the last week gauging public opinion on the ticket sales for the Kiss show. In the first poll from Monday, 53.63% of people say the Kiss ticket sales were "totally unfair", while yesterday's poll found that 66.58% of people's opinions haven't changed about Kiss because of this issue. I agree that more tickets should have been released to the arena, but that's not my call, that's Kiss' and AEG Live's. At least most people don't hate Kiss over it!Finally, Elaine Della-Mattia from The Sault Star ran an article on Wednesday about the debate over whether councillors should give their reserved Kiss tickets back for public sale, as per the request of Mayor Rowswell, and buy their own. Councillors are split on the issue, though 7 councillors (Susan Myers obviously being one) aren't even planning on going. Most are likely giving theirs back, though at least two councillors are going to used the reserved tickets anyway. Read the full article at this location! What say you guys?
And lastly for today, time to quash a rumour. According to former Algoma Conservative MP candidate Ron Swain, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was going to (get this) attend the Halloween community event in Bruce Mines tonight that will be featuring local metal guitarist Tym Morrison as one of the performers! The news release from Swain said that Harper and his guests would dress as their political opponents. Now this looked kinda fake as it was, but Harper's deputy press secretary has shot down this report (article here), saying that it's 100% not true. The prime minister will actually be carving pumpkins tonight at his home. Well, it's too bad it's not real, cause it'd be awesome to know that Tym Morrison played live for the prime minister, but it seemed fake to me from the start!That's all for now, I don't know if I'll have too much in terms of updates for later today or tomorrow, but I will definitely be back Sunday night! In the meantime, please attend some of the concerts this weekend! Lots of great bands playing in Sault Ontario and Sault Michigan, I wanna hear that there's huge crowds at all of them! I wish I could go, so rock out for me! Get full details on this weekend's metal concerts on the post below! Thanks everyone, I'll be back soon!
