Nothing screams fragile ego and entitlement than seeing a performer call out an audience member for being on their cell texting, etc. Maybe it’s important or maybe the show just sucks to them 🤷♂️ The ticket was paid for and technically they owe nothing more.

Murderdolls Celebrate 20th Anniversary of the Re-release of
Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls
Announce Special Live Event for Announcement
Event Moved to Bigger Venue Due to Demand!
What if Russ Meyer and Jason Voorhees formed a band… you’d get the Murderdolls. The Murderdolls burst onto the hard rock music scene in August 2002. The band invaded the music world at a time when the scene was flooded with Nu Metal and was aching for something a little different. The Murderdolls stood out with their tongue in cheek lyrics that ranged from necrophilia to crossdressing and music that was a cross between the hard rock of Motley Crue and Alice Cooper with the punk attitude of the Misfits and New York Dolls. The result was polarizing musically, lyrically and visually.
August 20th marked the 20th anniversary of the release of the band’s first album, “Beyond The Valley of the Murderdolls”. To celebrate this milestone, members Acey Slade and Eric Griffin will be staging a special event in conjunction with the Silver Scream Con on Sunday, August 28th. Due to overwhelming demand the Murderdolls signing originally scheduled to take place at Blackcraft Cult store in Salem, MA on August 28th, has been moved to the Silver Scream convention at the Hilton Double Tree North Shore in Danvers MA. In addition to a larger location, times are now extended to 12 noon-5pm, with the live stream taking place from 3-5pm EST.
Silver Scream Con
Doubletree Boston North Shore
Danvers, MA – 50 Ferncroft Road, 01923
SilverScreamCon.com
The event will be live streamed on several platforms including:
YouTube
TikTok
Instagram
Acey and Eric will also be doing a meet-n-greet after the announcement for those in attendance at Silver Scream Con.
Acey Slade tells us,
“Celebrating the anniversary of Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls with Eric is magical. It only makes sense that we kick off this celebration in one of the most magical cities in the world, Salem, MA. We can’t wait to hang out with all our ghoul scout friends and fiends on our Instagram and YouTube pages and let you know what we have been up to after all this time. See ya soon and stay ghoul!”
Eric continues:
“Join Acey Slade and I in Witch City, USA as we crank back the clock 20 years and celebrate the anniversary of ‘Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls” with our friends at Silver Scream Con. We’ll be streaming live on Sunday August 28th. Kick off the spooky season early this year with Murderdolls.”
The Murderdolls did a number of major tours in support of Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls. By the summer of 2003, the tenacity of the band was paying off. Tours with Iron Maiden, Papa Roach and the Foo Fighters around the world and a top 40 UK single with ‘White Wedding’ made the band fan favorite in Metal Hammer Magazine (Best Over All Band, Best New Band, Best Album Sleeve, Metal Edge Magazine (Best New Band), Kerrang (#1 Best Album) and Rock Sound.
The band went on hiatus so that guitarist Joey Jordison could focus on his other band Slipknot and aside from the 2010 album Women and Children Last, the band has been in a purgatory of obscurity and urban legend.
On May 9th, 2018, Drummer Ben ‘The Ghoul’ Graves passed away from cancer and there was a Murderdolls reunion for one show in LA on August 16, 2018. Talks of a 20th Anniversary celebration began in the spring of 2021 and the groundwork was being laid when Guitarist Joey Jordison, who had been suffering from transverse Myelitis, passed away on July 26th, 2021.
While the band is currently inactive, The Murderdolls legacy deserves an official venue.
This website and all socials are waving the flag for all of the Murderdolls alumni and their growing legion of fans affectionally known as The Ghoulscouts. Anchoring that flag are surviving members Acey Slade along with Eric Griffin.
In conjunction with this anniversary, the band are also unveiling their new website located at MurderdollsOfficial.com
Watch for more exciting announcements from The Murderdolls in conjunction with this special anniversary.

See you at Knotfest, Brazil, Chile & Colombia!

Jay Weinberg:
Discovering how to paint with oils gave me a completely new window into self-expression. It became my meditative balance to an often-hyper-stimulating outside world.

I started creating A Hollow Realm eight years ago, and I’m very excited to finally share it.
Join us for the opening exhibition on July 7th in Los Angeles, where I’ll be displaying this entire body of work for the first time. Come say hello. MORE DETAILS

Slipknot: “The Chapeltown Rag”
New Single Out Tomorrow
Performed LIVE at KNOTFEST LA
Heavy culture’s time-tested trailblazers detail the intersection of serial killers, social media, and self-discovery on a new track that begins their next era of domination.
Every night on the Knotfest Roadshow tour that has been crossing the US this fall, Corey asks the audience if they’ve seen Slipknot before. On some nights there is a muted response – there are lots of new maggots out there. They don’t know where to look, like deer caught in headlights. Corey can see it all over their faces – ‘sensory overload,’ as he describes it. For other fans, the shows are a return to some kind of normality. Accordingly, Slipknot are treating the concerts as a celebration. It feels like the beginning again.
For over twenty years, Slipknot were the only people they knew who really cared about masks. Times change. Slipknot respects other people’s choices. But when it comes to themselves, they hold each other to a gold standard: they pour out everything onstage each night. –READ MORE
On Saturday night, the crowd turned on Machine Gun Kelly while he was performing at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Kentucky. Fan-filmed video of the onslaught can be viewed below.
More than likely the crowd booed Kelly due to his recent beef w/ Slipknot or maybe he just sucked…..or both.
Corey Taylor: I don’t like people airing private shit like a child. So this is all I’ll say: I didn’t do the track because I don’t like when people try to ‘write’ for me. I said NO to THEM. So without further ado…. #receipts
This is all I’m going to say about it.

Sad to hear the passing of Joey Jordison. His drumming in @slipknot inspired me as a teenager, as it did to many other drummers my age. I’d spend a lot of time jamming that first album in the school music room. RIP.

RIP JOEY JORDISON: It's no secret that Slipknot is my fave band on the planet. While this is a tragic day, I will always keep the happier ones in my heart.

When Joey got up onstage to collect his Golden God Award five years ago, you could see what his music and his fans meant to him.
