RiB’S METAL MENORAH: NIGHT 4

Shalom metaloids! Tis the season and since between the two of us we have 1.5 Jews we decided to put together a little something for (C)Hanukkah. This is Reign in Blonde’s Metal Menorah, and every night we’re lighting a candle in honor of someone who deserves some recognition. So grab your lighters Jews and Gent(ile)s, it’s Metal Menorah time! Tonight’s Honoree…

EVERYONE WHO HAS GIVEN RiB A PUSH

Julia and I didn’t quite know what we were doing when we started this whole mess.  It’s actually a lot harder to gain readership that most people seem to think.  Somehow, we were fortunate enough to get some notice from some better-known personalities in this big, scary world of metal media, and we feel forever indebted to them for helping us out.

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to especially thank the following people:

• All those hotties over at MetalSucks (particularly Axl and Vince), for stealinglinking our posts every so often.  You made our hits go through the roof, and it’s an honor to be mentioned on a site I’ve been reading for so long.  Thanks for being such br00tal budz.

• The Metal Injection team, for allowing us fulfill the acting roles we were born to play.  You guys are a hoot.  We’ll ho’ it up for you anytime.

• Carlos Ramirez, for our interview he did with us for Noisecreep (as well as the interview he did with us!).  We’ve never even met the guy, and we think the world of him.

• Everyone who wrote a little diddy for our Hottest Chick in Metal Bracket.  You’re all funny as fuck.  We were glad to have you on board.

• Everyone who’s let us interview them for our BR00TAL TR00TH series.  We appreciate you answering all of dumb questions.  We’re excited to do more of these in the coming year.

• And any mention or Twitter love we’ve received from some of our other favorite sites: Metal Insider, Brooklyn Vegan, SMNnews, Noisecreep, About.com, SkullsNBones, Adrenaline PR, Rocket Queen, Metalcakes and more.

Hopefully I didn’t forget anyone, but you’re all amazing.  If any of you are reading this….major E-hugz to you all.  Or real ones, whenever we see some of you next.  Thank you for everything.
