Reign in Blonde [noun; plural] - Two tall, blonde chicks who bring the metal. We're not know-it-alls, and we don't 'report' unbiasedly. This is our blog where we simply discuss what's on our brutal minds. Bon Appetit.
Some moron apparently told Jasmin St. Claire that she was famous enough to write (note: I’m using the work “write” loosely here, who knows if she can ever read) a memoir of her life. For what it’s worth, at least it’s appropriately titled:
What the Hell Was I Thinking?!! Confessions Of The World’s Most Controversial Sex Symbol
That’s a great question indeed Jasmin, er Rhea or whatever the hell your name is. First of all there are far better examples of controversial sex symbols than you (does Marilyn Monroe ring a bell?). Second, just stick with the porn and wrestling. It’s pretty out of character for me to outright slam someone on the site, I try my best to be open and accepting of all sorts of people and things (after all, I’ve never met a completely normal metalhead) but I just think she’s a disgrace to the community and a poor representation of what metal stands for; especially women. Ladies, I don’t know about you but I don’t want some porn star known for her gang bang scenes acting like she knows more about metal than Lemmy himself.
Normally I do not approve of silly things like air guitar competitions, but my own alma mater has been on a roll with breaking world records over the past couple years. In 2008, the Rutgers University World Record organization broke the record for largest gathering of people dressed as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and in 2009 it was the record for largest gathering of people dressed as Where’s Waldo. And this year….
Rutgers University (in New Brunswick) will attempt to break the record for largest air guitar ensemble this Friday @ 8 pm at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. Admission is $5, and some air guitar champions will be in attendance….if that means anything to anyone. Details can be found over the the World Record website.
If you’re anywhere near NJ, be sure to get on out and support the cause. I won’t be there, however. I got my fill of air guitar of Major League Dreidel.
All in good fun, but go pick up real guitar, kids.
Coming right off the heels of Elise’s post about Metallica on Ice, here comes another shining example of why the world of figure skating should just lay off the rock music and stick to Bjork and Shania Twain.
This is so ridiculous that it’s gone past comical and settles on just plain dumb. Now, if he were to use the blade of the skate to line up some coke and get ripped during the routine, THAT would be an accurate tribute to Nirvana. JUST BECAUSE YOU PUT ON A FLANNEL SHIRT IT DOESN’T IMMEDIATELY TRANSLATE TO BEING KURT COBAIN. Jesus. And anyway, he looks more like Billy Ray Cyrus than anything. Am I wrong?
The track listing for the newest installment of the Punk Goes series was recently released. This time they’re goin’ classic rock. (Oh jeez.) Here are the songs that will be featured:
1. Hit The Lights “More Than A Feeling” (originally recorded by Boston) 2. VersaEmerge “Paint It Black” (originally recorded by The Rolling Stones) 3. The Almost “Free Fallin’” (originally recorded by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) 4. Mayday Parade “We Are The Champions” (originally recorded by Queen) 5. The Summer Set “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite” (originally recorded by KISS) 6. We The Kings “Caught Up In You” (originally recorded by .38 Special) 7. A Skylit Drive “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” (originally recorded by Journey) 8. I See Stars “Your Love” (originally recorded by The Outfield) 9. Pierce The Veil “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” (originally recorded by Blue Oyster Cult) 10. Forever The Sickest Kids “Crazy Train” (originally recorded by Ozzy Osbourne) 11. The Maine “Pour Some Sugar On Me” (originally recorded by Def Leppard) 12. Envy On The Coast “All Along The Watchtower” (originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix) 13. Every Avenue “Take Me Home Tonight” (originally recorded by Eddie Money) 14. Never Shout Never “Bohemian Rhapsody” (originally recorded by Queen) 15. blessthefall “Dream On” (originally recorded by Aerosmith)
I’m not sure if many of y’all out there know these bands, but I know a good chunk of them…and MAN will this be interesting. Both Hit the Lights’ “More Than a Feeling” and FTSK’s “Crazy Train” are bound to sound a bit whiney. But maybe it’ll be kinda cool to hear “Paint it Black” and “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite” sang by chicks…? Uhhh…we’ll see. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this “Bohemian Rhapsody” one, though. Incase you’ve never heard of Never Shout Never, here they are:
Yet another reality celebutard flashing the horns like a moron. It’s bad enough that Snooki is from where Elise and I call home. Now this?
Although… I can’t say it wouldn’t be entertaining to see one or more of the Jersey Shore folk try to embark on a music career. How long will THAT take to happen?

No offense, West Coast, but this place kinda puts the Grill ‘Em All Truck to shame.
I’m going to Chicago this weekend; I’ve never been to Ill-Annoys before so I’m pretty excited. Out of curiosity I did a google search on anything metal that may have come out of the Land of Lincoln, and JACKPOT! While typing the phrase “heavy metal chicago”, Google wanted me to add “burger” to the end and boy I’m glad I did.
A thought occurred to me yesterday (Believe it or not, that happens from time to time): Is moshing still cool? We all know people still do it, but sometimes I find myself looking down on those people slamming themselves into strangers for the “thrill” of possibly hurting themselves. I’ve been on both sides of the scenario, but I haven’t been in a pit myself since a GWAR show in October of 08. Seriously, what is the deal with moshing RIGHT NOW?
Previous to our fix, the general consensus was that our site looked fine everywhere but here in the US. Post-fix, we have learned just the opposite. Though we hear some people in America still can’t view the site either. We are continuing to work on the problem, because we love our overseas readers and want to have them along for the ride.
But it is likely over the course of the next week or so that we will be undergoing some major changes. If we can’t quite fix the problem, we may either have to rebuild the site from scratch, or possibly even switch servers. We hope that you all will keep tabs on everything that’s going on and stick with us. We’ve had a great time running this site and would like to keep things going. This problem was completely unexpected and unfortunate, but I suppose shit happens. We’re going to work around this somehow. We’ve had some cool stuff we were preparing for the coming months and we’re not going to let this little hiccup get in the way.
In the meantime, we will continue to update as usual, at least for our American peepz. If you’re a foreign reader that follows us through RSS, I will set it so the the posts are not shortened in your feed, and you can at least read what we’ve written through that. And yes, please feel free to send any advice you can give to reigninblonde@gmail.com. We are not computer nerds, so any help is appreciated.
Thank you all for your support. Please stay tuned for updates.
