"Last night at The Metal Mayhem Festival, having a great time with awesome friends backstage. Out of no where comes a beer and fist straight to my face (so horrifying and painful). That somebody... (Tommy Vext). He has my husband by the hair (it all was so sudden) next thing you know the Live Nation guards pushed us all over, stopping everything and it took several guards to take Tommy down. They took him down and he hit his head on the ground cutting his head open, and even then he was still pulling my husband's hair and not letting go. I was struggling to get out of this mess of people. I don't really realize what's going on!

Seriously, that's what she said. Miley Cyrus wants to make a toned-down, slightly more wholesome version of Sex And The City for children. This is deeply upsetting news indeed - we already had an idea for a show called The Miley Cyrus Over The Sweater Action And Nothing More Until I'm Married Because I Love God Hour, and Miley Cyrus goes and steals it, the 15-year-old bitch.

"How bad" was written at a time when we were playing the crap out of the Sunset Strip back home in LA. We all had regular jobs but for one month we did something ridiculous like 20 shows all over on any day of the week just to plaster our name out there and show people we were willing to work. We played early, we played late at the best clubs and the shadiest clubs. We would see these bands that just expected everything to be handed to them because they bought a spot at the Viper Room on a Friday but they weren't willing to do work to make it happen. We have always believed that you make your own road and those that are the most hungry and willing to sacrifice for it will always end up on top.
