Duff's named one of the top 10 Jukeboxes in New York City

From Gothamist.com:

"DUFF’S: It’s no surprise that New York’s ultimate metal bar is also home to one of the best hard-rocking jukes as well. Headbang your way through selections from Metallica, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Coheed and Cambria, Manowar, Dismemberment and more. Sure, the place looks like a heavy metal word cloud come to life, but one thing that’s not scary about Duff’s is the friendly server and relaxed crowd. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a spin on the bar’s “Wheel of Misfortune,” where you could “win” free jukebox plays, drinks, 15 minutes in a gimp cage or a “Coney Island whitefish” shot (google it, if you dare)."

Thursday February 6th is our 6th annual BLOOD DRIVE with The New York Blood Center at the bar

Why donate ?? (From NYBC):

From organ transplants to heart surgeries, today’s advanced medical care relies on blood transfusions. When one person donates a unit of blood, it can be separated into individual components to save multiple lives. Blood donors like you help meet the daily transfusion needs of cancer and surgery patients, accident and burn victims, newborns and mothers delivering babies, AIDS and sickle cell anemia patients, and many more.

As always, all folks who attempt to give blood will receive a FREE Duff's blood drive event shirt (pictured). The blood drive will be held outside the bar in the bloodmobile, and will run from 6 PM to approximately 10 PM. Find out more at NYBC's web site ~HERE~

PETER STEELE BASS

On Halloween night, naturally, we made a new addition to the bar - A custom made Peter Steele Type O Negative replica bass. The instrument was a gift from our buddy Chuck Thibaut, who drove 10 hours on Halloween Day to make sure it arrived on the 31st, a day that had a lot of significance for Peter. The bass was hand built to the exact specifications of the original instrument, and no detail was spared. Fully functional, it can be taken out and plugged right in. Peter's sister and other family members were on hand as well, helping to make it a very special Halloween.

IKILLYA LISTENING/RELEASE PARTY, Tuesday, April 29th

Join us Tuesday, April 29th for the listening/release party for "VAE VICTIS", the Megaforce Records debut of New York City's very own IKILLYA.

From our buds at Metalsucks.net:

"Awesome news: one of MetalSucks’ favorite unsigned bands is no longer unsigned! Not only have IKILLYA signed with Megaforce Records Incorporated, but they’ve also completed their new album, Vae Victis (it’s Latin for “woe unto the conquered”). The latest offering from New York’s own kings of thrashy, groove-laden, no bullshit heavy fuckin’ metal will come out April 29, and can now be pre-ordered here. MetalSucks has heard Vae Victis, and we can assure you, it’s IKILLYA’s finest hour. If you’re into bands like Pantera, The Haunted and Lamb of God and you’re not listening to IKILLYA, you are missing out big time!"

"To celebrate the announcement, IKILLYA are now giving away their last album, Recon, for FREE right here. Yes, free!!! This is a great chance to get on board with one of metal’s best lesser-known gems."

Steve "Nightcrawler" Giacobello 1968 - 2013

Long time friend, and huge supporter of Duff's, Steve "Nightcrawler" Giocobello, tragically passed away early Monday morning. Yesterday we said our final farewells to our good buddy. Steve would have been very touched to see the outpouring of love for him on the Internet and social networks all week. Even though he was really a very sensitive and caring guy at heart (and would probably be furious that I said that online, lol), he would have preferred to keep things simple and right to the point in regard to any statement or tribute to him. With that said - Crank up some fuckin' Slayer, and have a beer and a shot today in his honor.

High River Sauces Premiers New TV Commercial filmed at DUFF'S

High River Sauces, the award winning Hot Sauce Company started by Mosh Potatoes Cookbook (Simon & Schuster) author and music industry veteran Steve Seabury is proud to announce the premier of his TV commercial on this weekend’s episode of VH1’s “That Metal Show”. The commercial titled "Oh That’s Hot” will debut on October 27th between 11 PM to Midnight EST and will continue to air nationally until November 10th . The commercial is a blend of spicy humor and B-Movie Special effects. Just what you would expect for a hot sauce commercial.

The commercial was filmed by Grammy Nominated music video director Kevin J. Custer (Overkill, High on Fire, Cannibal Corpse, Lacuna Coil) at Duffs Brooklyn, the most famous Heavy Metal Bar in NYC. Duffs has been known to host some of the craziest and wildest parties for such acts as Black Label Society, Pantera, Slayer and numerous others. “After a night of chugging beers and snorting lines of Hellacious Hot Sauce Kevin and I, for shit’s & giggles, thought it would be funny to film a hot sauce commercial” Seabury recalls. “We wanted to make it loud, funny and METAL to fit the mold of High River Sauces”.

The commercial features fellow metal heads and hot sauce addicts Chris Caffery of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mike Meselsohn of Black Water Rising, Adam Poch from the CBS hit TV Show “Big Brother” and John Conley from the band Moth Eater playing the role of the Devil.

About If You Like Metallica...

http://ifyoulikemetallica.halleonardbooks.com

In hard rock history, there is the time before Metallica and there is everything that has come since: metal, punk, industrial, grunge, alternative – all of it absorbed, transformed, and reinvented by the band that, for decades, has ruled as both the Beatles and the Stones of heavy music. From garage rock to the avant-garde, indie pop to hardcore punk and, of course, all shades of metal, If You Like Metallica... illuminates the sounds and styles that influenced and have been influenced by this band, in addition to nonmusical elements such movies, books, and cultural iconoclasts. Just as Metallica expanded heavy metal to new meanings and new possibilities, If You Like Metallica... expands being a fan of the band to an education and a treasure hunt that, put as bluntly as a devil-fingered salute to the face, rocks.

DVD Release party for OZZY'S "SPEAK OF THE DEVIL"- Friday, July 13th

Speak Of The Devil was filmed at Irvine Meadows, California in 1982. The show was part of the delayed continuation of the Diary Of A Madman tour following the tragic death of Randy Rhoads in March '82 in a flying accident during the early part of the tour. The show features guitarist Brad Gillis who was brought in to replace Randy Rhoads. The concert is a perfect snapshot of Ozzy Osbourne's live performances in the eighties with dramatic staging and masses of energy with a setlist based around his first two solo albums and a few Black Sabbath classics. Ozzy has always been one of heavy metal's great frontmen and, despite the difficult circumstances, this show captures him at his absolute best. / Line-up: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals); Don Airey (keyboards); Tommy Aldridge (drums); Brad Gillis (guitar); Rudy Sarzo (bass).

Track Listing:
1) Over The Mountain 2) Mr Crowley 3) Crazy Train 4) Revelation (Mother Earth) 5) Steal Away (The Night) 6) Suicide Solution 7) Guitar / Drum Solo 8) Goodbye To Romance 9) I Don't Know 10) Believer 11) Flying High Again 12) Iron Man 13) Children Of The Grave 14) Paranoid

VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER 20th Anniversary reissue party
Friday May 11th 2012, 9 PM

We are very proud to announce that the bar will be hosting the official release/listening party for the 20th anniversary reissue of Pantera's masterpiece "Vulgar Display Of Power". Many thanks to Rhino and PANTERA for allowing us to host this event, and for their generosity in donating free discs and swag for the fans.

From Amazon.com:

February 25, 2012 marked the 20-year anniversary for Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, a landmark album widely acknowledged as one of metal's most enduring and influential masterworks. Recorded by singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, bassist Rex Brown and drummer Vinnie Paul, the album has been certified double platinum by the RIAA and features several of the group's most iconic songs including "Walk," "Mouth For War," "This Love," and "Fucking Hostile."

To celebrate, Rhino channels the album's relentless blitzkrieg of musical aggression onto a two-disc Deluxe Edition. The collection features the debut of "Piss," an incendiary blast of vintage Pantera from the original recording sessions. It remained lost until Vinnie Paul rediscovered the track while going through the band s vault.

Along with the unreleased song, Vulgar Display Of Power (Deluxe Edition) also features unreleased video of the quartet performing six songs at the Monsters Of Rock show in Reggio Emilia, Italy on September 12, 1992. The set list draws almost exclusively from Vulgar ("This Love," "Rise" "Mouth For War"), but also includes the title track from their previous album, Cowboys From Hell, and a melding of Vulgar s "Hollow" and Cowboys "Domination," which was a live staple of the band.

Peter The Great

Today we remember the genius of Peter Steele. Peter, in tandem with the rest of Type O Negative, had the ability to express feelings that we all feel, but we don't necessarily know how to verbalize on our own. And to be able express those feelings in such an amazing and beautiful way musically... It's something that speaks to all of us, no matter who you are. I am grateful to have been able to get to know the "Wizard of Oz" so to speak, and I can tell you, Peter did not disappoint. With more personality and wit than anyone else, he fulfilled his destiny to be a star. We won't see the likes of him again. Crank up some TON today, a little red wine too, and honor "The Green Man" today - J.Duff

Remembering Dancin' Dom today

It's been 10 years today since our friend and the bar's "mascot" Dominick Fiorello passed away. What a character. Dom's spirit lives on in the bar's imagery, and most definitely at the bar itself. He would be thrilled to know this. Dom was in on the joke, and he would be even more thrilled to know that people are still crackin' up because of him. As Dom himself would say:"The kids - They go koo-koo for my rock n' roll dancin' !!!"

Our friends at Moscot here in New York City have launched a new line of eyewear, using metal frames for the first time (They've been in business since 1915). Appropriately enough, Zakk Wylde, Scott Ian, Alex Skolnick, and other Metal folk were recruited for the ad campaign, which launched Friday, March 9th. All of the promo photos were taken at the bar over a month long or so period. Everyone involved was totally cool, and the shoots were a lot of fun. Check out the new spex along all the other cool eyewear on Moscot's official site, below.

From Moscot:
"We want to give a giant thank you to Alex Skolnick, Chris Adler, Faisal Talal, Jesse Leach, Jose Mangin, Juliya Chernetsky, Marwan Riyadh, Matt Heafy, Scott Ian, and Zakk Wylde for their generous participation in our campaign, and a special thanks to Jimmy Duff, who loaned us his incredible bar, Duff's Brooklyn, for the photo shoot."

Shocked and saddened to hear that "Evil" Steve Ventura passed away Wednesday. For those of you who didn't know him, Steve was a very enthusiastic supporter and photographer of the Metal scene here in New York City. A good Dude...he will be missed. R.I.P. Buddy \m/

DUFF'S 3rd Annual Blood Drive, January 19th 2012, 6 PM to 10:30 PM

We hope you'll join us for our 3rd annual Blood Drive on Thursday as we once again try to pull in the maximum amount of donors!! Complimentary refreshments will be served to all donors by the New York Blood Center, and DUFF'S will be giving all donors a free event t shirt (see design below).

The New York Blood Center :
"Donating blood is literally giving the gift of life. Each day, patients in our regions need close to 2,000 people a day to roll up their sleeves to give the gift of life. There is simply no substitute for voluntarily donated blood. Without volunteer donors, our community would not have an adequate community blood supply."

Find out more about how you can help on the NYBC web site: Welcome to New York Blood Center
