Matt Halpern Mapex MyDentity Drums
Have you heard of Matt Halpern?? If not, leave my website and go to google now!!! Dude is the drummer for the progressive metal band Periphery. I was fortunate enough to work on some stuff with those guys when I was freelancing for the magazine. During that time one of the most apparent things was that Matt was the real deal. In prog music there are a lot of great drummers. But, IMO many of them tend to be mechanical. I don't know that I would call that a bad thing but lets just say it's something that I pick [...]
Ibanez RG920MQM FTW
I am a total sucker for maple fret boards!! I remember when I first realized I loved them!!! While I had played them before I still remember the epiphany or the "holy crap why didn't I notice this before" moment. My brother scored a old Fuchsia Ibanez RG USA Custom with the matching mirrored pick guard and from that point on I was sold. And it's not like a tone thing because I really don't believe your fret board makes that much of a difference. It was more of a dryness to me. Maple always felt very dry and smooth [...]

I dig Avenged Sevenfold. They play music that I can't personally play back after listening to them once. They have a track that appears to be included on the new Black Ops II game. Which BTW i'm starting to piddle in my shorts about, or that may be my damaged urethra. But either way, check out the new track HERE.

Stone Temple Pilots Pulling Their Typical STP Showtime Letdown
If you grew up in the late 80's early 90's you probably remember the death of hair metal or glam rock and the cross to grunge. If you were a musician this was a dark time. Not because everyone put away the lipstick and man thongs, but because almost all the playing went away. We traded singers that had really practiced and learned their craft (think Jani Lane) for Curt Cobain who showed us that pitch really didn't matter all that much. We traded guitar players like Nuno Bettencort for ... Well .... Curt Cobain. Granted, the 80's thing totally [...]
