Wow! The man still has impressive chops at 72 years old. If you are a fan of early period Genesis, I highly recommend going to see him. Daryl Stuermer is a fantastic guitarist, but there is nothing quite like seeing the man himself play those leads such as Firth Of Fifth, Supper's Ready (Steve...

Well, despite the fact that I don't really 'need' any additional guitars, I couldn't help myself. I've lusted after a LP Gold Top with p90s for quite a while, but I couldn't justify the expense of a Gibson to myself. Then the folks at Harley Benton made it too difficult to refuse. Ordered it...

Last week, my POD HD400 finally gave up the ghost after about a decade of heavy usage (and a couple outdoor gigs where rain hit us). Anyway, I picked up a POD Go, which uses the Helix engines. I don't that I saw this listed among specs/features, but I thought I'd share - if you hook the unit...

New album from Marillion finally released today! It's been ready for months, but there were supply chain delays preventing the vinyl copies from being printed. Still working my way through it, but I think it's one of their strongest overall efforts. As one interviewer said "you guys aren't...

For those of you looking for a budget wireless IEM solution, do yourself a favor and check out the XVive U4. Not sure you can beat this at $229 for transmitter and receiver. First thing I noticed was the build quality - metal construction means this little thing is built for the long haul. Like...

Despite all the curmudgeonly talk about how terrible things are getting in this world, sometimes you get a reminder that it's not all bad. As I'm scouring the baking aisle looking for baking soda thee other day, I spy on the shelves "Bacon Up". Little tubs of rendered bacon fat. I come from a...

If this is any indication, it's going to be a great (if no-traditional Christmas) album: I really like how Paul's playing has continued to evolve.

How did I miss this until now?!? And I must have been under a rock to not know of Lionel Loueke until now.

One of our original tunes. Yes, I'm well aware it's not high art. :cool:

Was just listening to his Symphony No 2, and whanmo! Listen to this, and tell me you don't hear the hook from Eric Carmen's "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" in the one melody that keeps popping up:

Guitarist for Cinderella gone at the age of 58. No cause of death listed that I've seen.

Yes, I would have preferred a full blown reunion with Peter and Steve. But it's pretty obvious that is not going to work out. Just got my tickets to see them in Charlotte, NC in November, and I'm stoked. Paid more than I really would have liked, but with Phil's health issues, this may well be...

Played one today at the local Sam Ash - really really feels and plays nice. I almost grabbed it on the spot. Practical me stepped in. So, if they give me a decent enough offer on my BC Rich Masterpiece, I'll own a semi-hollow this time tomorrow. Anyone have any reason I should stay away?

Great interview with Brian Johnson. It's long, but well worth it. Dave is just such a chill, humble guy:

A couple clips to highlight this wonderful band (and one of my absolute favorite guitarists, Steve Rothery): and from the Fish era: and one cut from Rothery's solo album:

featuring the amazing Roine Stolt, Pete Trewas, Mike Portnoy, and Neal Morse. New album coming in February - not one of the new tunes, but incredible (to my ears):

video from a gig: videos from the practice space:

Black Sabbath's Paranoid album released 50 years ago today.

Lee Sklar, Waddy Wachtel, Danny Kortchmar, Steve Postell, Russ Kunkel. Old guys rule! EP coming October 16

Love the stuff they've done.

Nets over $6 million at auction. I understand it's the founder/CEO of Rode microphones who bought it. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/kurt-cobains-mtv-unplugged-guitar-sells-for-staggering-recordsetting-amount-at-auction-002108604.html

If so, got any helpful tips/tricks to share? We're considering doing a live stream every month or two on our normal practice night. Not for the whole night, probably just an hour to an hour and a half each time. And handling it just like a show - predertined set list so we're not standing around...
