Lamb Of God’s Chris Adler Details Randy Blythe Arrest

By |September 18th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , , |

Unless you've been living in a closet you've probably heard about the Randy Blythe arrest and detention in Prague for manslaughter. He was arrested for an incident that had taken place a few years prior in the death of a fan that had rushed the stage and was pushed back into the crowd. You know, pretty much like every metal show you see everywhere. Only this dude hit is head and died. In this interview done by MetalInsider.net Chris Adler talks about how the arrest went down. Pretty much how you would think only with ski masks, body armor and [...]

Rock Guitarist Marino De Silva Jailed for Charity Fraud

By |September 18th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , , , |

So, I used to know this one dude, he promised everything in the world, said he had worked with everyone (with no evidence of course) claimed to be Grammy Nominated, was currently working side production for some huge star whenever you talked to him. Then when you caught on to his bullshit he would go around to the rest of the circle of people you knew and tried to throw you under the bus. This dude is sort of like that. In this article from ClassicRockMagazine.com Marino De Silva decided to tell his pals that he was dropping discs of [...]

Corey Taylor Winner of the Metal Hammer Legend Award

By |September 17th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , , , |

I've crossed paths with Corey Taylor a hand full of times in my life. The biggest was when I filmed interview footage of them at Blackbird studios in Nashville while Stone Sour was recording Audio Secrecy. Being from Iowa and being active in the music scene you tend to bump into the Slipknot cats from time to time. So I have to say on a personal level these guys are all champs. I've never had a bad experience with any of them, as a matter of fact Corey made sure that we got our interview footage with him at Namm [...]

Mark Tremonti Project with Wolfgang Van Halen Story

By |September 17th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , |

Last week I posted some rehearsal footage that was floating around the tubes with Wolfgang Van Halen rehearsing with the Mark Tremonti Project. At the time I didn't really know what the situation was other than he was lined up to tour at least for a bit with Mark. Here is an interview detailing the situation. It's pretty much starting to look like WGVH is a stud!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIdSwr9SSEk

Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban Joining American Idol

By |September 17th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , |

In my who cares post of the day, it was announced that Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will be joining American Idol. I will admit, I used to watch this show. It used to be fun. You had Simon who was a total dick, and could be because he created industry juggernaut profit monsters, one right after the other. Whether you thought it was an ass or not his opinion counted because he had an eye for that. Then you had Paula, who was really just the drunken feel good judge but we still liked her as a balance to [...]

Berklee College Of Music Is Gonna Run You A Couple Of Bucks

By |September 17th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , |

When I was a kid I really really really wanted to go to Berklee, mostly because a lot of my heroes went there. Now, I don't remember how much jack it took then, I was busy trying to score change for a pack of smokes and a couple of Lil' Debbies on the way to my next gig. But I do remember that according to my calculations it would have taken a lot and I didn't have very much. This deficiency created a pretty big barrier between me and my dreams of soaking up musical knowledge at Berklee. So today [...]

Mudvayne Bassist Ryan Martinie Summer Tour With Korn Behind The Scenes

By |September 14th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , |

Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about Mudvayne. My old band got to play some shows with them before they blew up and became the cool kids on the block. And it's one of my fondest memories up to one member of the band. Since then I talked with Ryan and Matt at a bar during Namm a couple of years ago. And I still have very fond memories up to one member of the band. Later after that while doing interviews for the magazine, we interviewed the guys from Hell Yeah, again very fond memories of everyone [...]

Diamond Nitrox Quick Demo Video with Ibanez RG Giger

By |September 14th, 2012|Categories: GearZombie Videos, Music News|Tags: , , , |

Here is a demo of the Diamond Nitrox. So many moons ago I was asked to film and take part in a project demoing a bunch of heads. My footage wasn’t used. But since I filmed the entire thing I had my footage sitting in my video vault with the other misfit toys including my sex tape from that romantic summer I had with Megan Fox and of course my pro bowl season with the Vikings. But that was a different time and now all I have left are the memories. And this video of my noodling with the Diamond [...]

Apple to murder Pandora in cold blood.

By |September 14th, 2012|Categories: Music News|Tags: , , |

Now, first of I want to say that I am at heart an Apple baby. I love their stuff it really does work great. That being said with the iPhone 5 announcement I am really seriously considering jumping ship to an Android device. I know the popular thing is to say "Android has been doing (insert your function here) for years" But in most cases, the devices are garbage the O.S. is buggy and the UI's generally suck. But... I want a bigger screen so I'm waiting for the new Moto Razr HD Maxx rather than go after the slightly [...]
