Recently everyone from members of the public to celebrities have been trying to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig’s disease. The inspired idea of having someone soaked with a bucket of ice cold water as well as nominating three future contestants to either be soaked or to donate, or in some cases both all in the name of charity. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and is the progressive degeneration of the nerve cells and has been sweeping the world over and it has inevitably reached the metal universe.

Slipknot and Stone Sour main man Corey Taylor

Duff Mckagan’s inspired contribution…
