Words: Ryan Cooper
By now, you’ve picked up your Kerristmas double issue, and read all the delights it has to offer – including our now-annual Celebs Review The Singles feature – right? If you somehow haven’t – and we frankly have no clue why or how – then let this whet your appetite.
Fresh off WWE NXT’s first-ever UK tour, here’s NXT superstar Baron Corbin giving us his take on some of the singles reviewed in the mag by Boy George, Limmy, Richard Blackwood and Chris Jericho.
You may recognise Baron as the guy who Corey Taylor gave a slap to on the Aftershock tour (but if you have no clue what we’re talking about, check out the video, and then keep scrolling to find out more…
Fall Out Boy, Irresistible
“It’s a great song. These guys have been doing their thing for close to 15 years and have always stayed true to their sound and who they are. Irresistible is a good time, like everything else they do.”
Iron Maiden, Speed Of Light
“This song has amazing vocals by Bruce Dickinson. He is true classic metal and the guitar riffs are killer as always. I have always wondered what it would have been like to be on Flight 666!”
Bring Me The Horizon, Happy Song
“Happy Song is something I can blast in the car or in the gym. It really gets you going, and makes you want to break something and set it on fire. All with a smile on your face! This band are one of my favourites to see live. I look forward to everything they do.”
BABYMETAL, Gimme Chocolate!!
“Gimme Chocolate!! is fast-paced and in-your-face. These three teenage girls would have no problem kicking you in the face, and you would probably thank them for it!”
Bell Witch, Suffocation: II – Somniloquy (The Distance Of Forever)
“Suffocation is a 23-minute ride – it’s dark and dirty and gets you lost in it. It has ups and downs that put you in a trance. It’s one hell of a good ride!”
Motörhead, Victory Or Die
“Motörhead is meant to be played as loud as possible, and Victory Or Die is no different. It’s supposed to crack your walls and shake buildings. ‘You have to go victory or die’, and they have been for 40 years.”
