Tom Sanford, the New York-based artist behind the controversial 2005 painting "The Assassination of Dimebag Darrell", has posted a lengthy update on his official web site addressing the criticism of his work by metal fans who found the painting to be in poor taste. His message is re-published below in its entirety. "It seems that my 2005 painting 'The Assassination of Dimebag Darrell' is going back to auction and this has re-ignited the ire of Dimebag's fans. In fact I learned of the auction through a surge in the regular trickle of hate mail/criticism that this piece engenders. Roadrunner Records' blog, called Blabbermouth, posted a short (and I thought remarkably fair) article about my painting and the upcoming Phillips de Purdy auction. This post was picked up by various other metal blogs and was heavily commented on by their readers. The post linked to my website, and lead to an onslaught of email to me. Most of the email amounted cursing me out while accusing me of crimes ranging from poor taste to exploiting the death of Dimebag. I guess that I am guilty of both. "Back in early 2005, when I made the painting, the reaction of Dimebag's fans was actually not on my mind. I was interested in this tragedy as a historical event that occurred in our media saturated world, but was without a defining image of the event. Normally the pervasive 24-hour news and infotainment industry is able to define newsworthy events with an image or video. In this case the event was only captured in the accounts of witnesses who saw the horrific event live at the Alrosa Villa. This afforded me an opportunity to make a painting that might be the only visual depiction of the tragedy, and yes, I exploited this opportunity. "In my defense, I thought it to be an extremely significant event, and one that needed to be remembered. I thought my painting might help remember the tragedy. The painting is certainly in poor taste, but I think that when one is describing a mass murder, etiquette is really not an issue. "Poor taste is pretty much the baseline criteria for my work, so fundamental to my project that I really do not consider it when I make a painting. I have no interest in being in good taste. My work is always subjective, inaccurate and incorrect, and I stand behind this position. I am, however, surprised that metal fans would be so sensitive to taste, as it seems that there genre of music operates in a context without taste. For fuck's sake, Dimebag played a guitar with a rebel flag painted on it! For any non-Americans who might read this, the rebel flag is a symbol of the civil war-era American south. While it is not solely a symbol of a pro-slavery political position, it cannot be divorced from this meaning, much like the swastika is forever linked to the holocaust. While I would not pretend to know Dimebag's views on anything, and certainly not race, I do think this guitar shows he was not concerned with issues of etiquette or sensitivity to people's feelings. I would hope I would be allowed a similar social leeway as a fellow artist. Neither paintings nor flags kill people — crazy fucks like Nathan Gale do. "More generally, I certainly respect anyone's right to get their panties in bunch about something they find offensive. But I can't help but be amused by the irony of this particular situation. The iconography of metal heavily features imagery of violence. The culture police police are constantly complaining about its offensive and obscene song lyrics. Many, many metal albums depict images of war, rape, murder etc etc. And when the PMRC (et al.) complain, I would be the first to tell them to shove it up their ass. "I didn't mean this painting to be offensive, but I am not in the least bit sorry if it is. That is not to say that I don't empathize with the family and friends of Dimebag and all the victims, their loss must have been horrible beyond anything I can comprehend. But art's job is not to be polite. "I guess this little dust-up between me and a few vocal metal fans gets at larger issues in my work and I am glad to get the chance to address them. For the most part, I am of the opinion that most contemporary painting has little relevance in our larger culture, except for that some paintings can be extremely valuable luxury goods. But since I really love making paintings, and it's all I've ever been much good at or interested in, I try to think of ways to make paintings that are relevant memes in our current context. I admit that I fail at this often, however all of the hubbub around this painting confirms it as a success in terms of my criteria (despite its extremely low monetary value judging by auction estimates!) I honestly didn't make this painting with the intention of being transgressive (and I have made things with that goal in mind and would gladly admit it). That being said, the fact that this painting is so extremely controversial in some circles is a testament to the power of a painting can have and i guess this is extremely empowering for artists." "The Assassination of Dimebag Darrell" will be auctioned via Phillips de Pury & Company's music-theme sale on November 21, 2009 at the company's London, England headquarters. The piece is expected to fetch between £500 (approximately $834) and £700 (approximately $1,168). "Assassination" is one of several paintings Sanford has created depicting violence in the lives of musicians; other subjects have included the infamous 2004 Vibe Awards stabbing incident and a knife altercation involving 50 Cent while at the studio. Sanford's paintings, which range from historical works depicting celebrity assassinations to portraits of gangsta rappers and teen pop tarts to elaborate cosmologies weaved together from Hollywood movies, reflect a deep ambivalence about the American cultural condition.

Everybody's looking at me, feeling paranoid inside When I step outside I feel free, think I'll find a place to hide Tell me people, am I going insane? Tell me people, am I going insane? Every day I sit and wonder how my life it used to be Now I feel like going under, now my life is hard to see So tell me people, am I going insane? Tell me people, am I going insane? So I'm telling all you people, listen while I sing again If I don't sound very cheerful, I think that I'm a schizo brain So tell me people, am I going insane? Tell me people, am I going insane?

the videos are here www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=129475NIRVANA's legendary August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the U.K.'s Reading festival will make its official debut on CD and DVD on November 3, followed by a vinyl edition on November 17. Titled "Nirvana Live At Reading", the set will come as both a separate CD and DVD, as well as a deluxe CD/DVD package. The show has been circulated on bootlegs for years, but the DVD will feature a pristine copy of the original film, while the audio portion will be taken from the original recordings. NIRVANA's Reading show featured early performances of several songs that would not make their recorded debut until 1993's "In Utero" album: "All Apologies", "Dumb" and "Tourette's". The show also included rare cover tunes and obscure songs from the band's pre-"Nevermind" days, as well as nearly every song from that 1991 breakthrough release. Drummer Dave Grohl recalled the show as one of the biggest highlights of the band's initial success. "It was a huge show, and we were headlining, and we hadn't practiced for about three months, and we just stepped onstage and we expected it to suck really bad, and it turned out to be totally amazing," he said. The Reading gig was ranked No. 1 in Kerrang! magazine's "100 Gigs That Shook The World" and was voted as "NIRVANA's Number One Greatest Moment" by fans in a poll sponsored by British music outlet NME. Only two of the set's 25 songs have been officially released until now. The set list for "Nirvana Live At Reading" is: 01. Breed 02. Drain You 03. Aneurysm 04. School 05. Sliver 06. In Bloom 07. Come as You Are 08. Lithium 09. About a Girl 10. Tourette's 11. Polly 12. Lounge Act 13. Smells Like Teen Spirit 14. On a Plain 15. Negative Creep 16. Been a Son 17. All Apologies 18. Blew 19. Dumb 20. Stay Away 21. Spank Thru 22. Love Buzz * 23. The Money Will Roll Right In (FANG cover) 24. D-7 (WIPERS cover) 25. Territorial Pissings

band in a bubble, thats going to be m0ng0's reality television show....find a kick ass band, give them a monthly allowance, let them live like dogs for 10 years travelling in shitty busses, living off the shitty catering of the clubs they play and just let them be normal guys....protect them from the media and all the outside bullshit that ruins bands......just let them play shows and make albums and give them a life just good enough to keep it all going and keep them hungry, then after 10 years split up all the money
