The Music As A Weapon 5 Tour hit the brand new Bridgestone Arena in Nashville TN and Lou was there with the bands, eating barbecue and getting stoopid at the music row bars. Mike & Dan of Disturbed, Munky from KoЯn, Morgan of Sevendust (who broke the news to LB about his upcoming KoЯn fill ins) and Maria & Chris of In This Moment were all interviewed about the tour, upcoming plans and more. As he’s been trying to do more of recently, Brutus was in the photo pit for part of the night with stage shots elsewhere here on the site.

XMAS EVE SLIPKNOT MADNESS

In honor of Slipknot regrouping for live shows next Summer, Lou Brutus dipped into his private collection of rock goodies for some holiday treats.

One lucky fan of Lou’s Facebook page and another who follows him on Twitter found themselves with a rare Slipknot CD single that has been autographed by all nine band members!

“I miss Paul, I’m glad the guys are getting together to play and I’ve got a treasure trove of Slipknot stuff that I knew the other maggots wouldn’t mind sharing in,” said Brutus. “It just seemed like a good thing for the holidays.”

Amber Ray Pedersen of Iowa and Ken Wasson of Wisconsin scored the discs. More goodies are on the way including items from Stone Sour and Avenged Sevenfold. To win you must be a fan of Lou’s Facebook page here and/or follow Lou here on Twitter. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Good Luck!

BRUTUS BIRTHDAY BASH 2010

The hardDrive Live Tour 2010 wrapped up in Orlando, Florida at the House Of Blues and Lou was there with the bands celebrating it as the Brutus Birthday Bash. Frank of Anew Revolution was celebrating his birthday too as were the United States Marine Corps so many were the libations poured for the Marines in the crowd. It was a perfect close to the tour so many thanks to Sevendust, 10 Years, Anew Revolution, Since October and Aranda for making it all happen.

Brutus got shots in the photo pit of each of the bands that night. You can find in the Music section of the Rogues Gallery here on the site.

Brutus recently returned to his home spewing grounds on the Jersey Shore to host the hardDrive Live Tour 2010 at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. An insane kind of madness took over the crowd for Anew Revolution, Since October, 10 Years and headliners Sevendust. Many were the dazed faces when the lights came up and the sweat dripped down. However, the night was not at an end. Lou led a cadre of contest winners up to a decadently appointed suite in the hotel for a private performance from Since October. After that it was back down to the casino bar where winners, band members and Brutus drank until dawn. The party ended when Lou was escorted out by security after leading a flock of seagulls off the boardwalk and into the casino with a bag of french fries. Then everybody (except Lou) got laid. It was that kinda night.

Lou snapped a ton of pictures on and off stage. Some of them are posted here on the site. A handful were taken as evidence by the New Jersey State Police.
