Have you noticed all our March Is Metal posts? What’s March Is Metal, Precious? It’s only this awesome event celebrating all things metal over at Amazon, where tons of hard rock and heavy metal music is on sale. Now, I don’t know about you, but I do not want this March Is Metal madness to end, but alas, all good things must come to an end. With today being the final day in March, I started to panic thinking about all these good metal deals on albums from bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, and more going away, therefore here’s my final March Is Metal post: 20 MP3 Albums For Under $7 Each

And for those about to rock, we salute you.

Today, December 24, 2011, Lemmy Kilmister turns 66!

The true king of rock n roll and bass-playing hellraiser needs little introduction. Motorhead‘s frontman, who it has been scientifically proven* is made up of 49% motherfucker and 51% son of a bitch, has been making records for over 45 years. This year, his band released the superb The World Is Yours and toured to support it. There’s little sign that the British music legend is going to slow down.

Early this year, we brought you details on the Motörhead wine and wine glasses.

Well now there’s Motörhead Vödka!

You may not recognise the name, but I guarantee that you have seen (or own) his work. For over 30 years, Steve ‘Krusher’ Joule has designed album covers for the likes of Hawkwind (Live “˜79), Ozzy Osbourne (Diary Of A Madman, Bark At The Moon), Black Sabbath (Born Again), and more.

For 10 years he was the art director for Kerrang! Magazine that Metallica’s Lars Ulrich once called “the most important magazine for us.”

I called up the “van Gogh of metal” for an extensive chat about his work, comics, and his dear friend, guitar hero Würzel. He’s funny, he’s sweary, and he tells it like it is.

Geeks of Doom: First of all, do I call you “˜Krusher’ or Steve?

Steve “˜Krusher’ Joule: Most people call me Krusher.

Geeks of Doom: Where did that come from?

Steve “˜Krusher’ Joule: It was when I was working on Kerrang [magazine]. I just wanted a nickname for a week and thought it would be clever to have Krusher spelled K-E-R-R – as in Kerrang – and U-S-H-E-R. Somebody changed it at the printers to Krusher thinking it was a spelling error…and it just stuck! [laughs]

Geeks of Doom: You’re most well known, to me at least, for designing Ozzy Osbourne album covers particularly Diary Of A Madman and Bark At The Moon. How did that come about?
