TWISTED AND WEIRD ALL THE WAY! This A7X video is so great (and disturbing) that it's the 'must watch' for today!! The guys teamed up with the #robotchicken crew for their new single "Mattel" And there is no way in hell that Barbie is getting approved!

After releasing a series of video skits being acted out with Mattel toys, ('Barbie', 'Masters Of The Universe' and more) Avenged Sevenfold have dropped their official "Mattel" music video. 

The Barbie Dreamhouse turns into the Barbie Nightmarehouse! The Barbie-Doll-Demented video features lots of doll nudity, drug use and fiery explosions. Avenged Sevenfold would have it no other way! Also, A7X frontman M. Shadows imagine himself as a doll, singing, "My vinyl skin provides protection/It holds in place my plastic bones" and "I've smelled the plastic daisies/And it seems we've found ourselves in hell."  

Avenged dropped their current studio album, "Life Is But A Dream…" back in June. They are on their headlining tour with Falling In Reverse and Kim Dracula, with appearances at Louisville, KY – Louder Than Life 9/23 and Sacramento, CA – Aftershock 10/5 

Close your eyes kids. Adults, watch the "Mattel" video here! BURN IT ALL DOWN!

Ozzy Osbourne has to undergo another surgery for the neck and spinal issues since his ATV accident in 2003 and his fall at home in 2019.

In the first episode of The Osbournes podcast, The Prince Of Darkness revealed, "I'm going for an epidural soon because what's happening, what they've discovered is the neck has been fixed, below the neck there's two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there's nothing left of 'em."

Ozzy and Sharon were optimistic it would help. Ozzy explained why he walks they way he does, with his head forward all the time. "In my back, the two discs, and the muscles on my shoulders have separated from my skeleton, and that's why I lean forward as it's like gravity is bringing my head forward."
