Or I think it's kinda cool. Two years ago when I was still a lighting designer/director, I was approached to design the rig and be lighting director for a Live DVD by an artist named Jason Plumb. Any ways despite his having bags of talent and writing some pretty cool music, the DVD was never...

In your opinions, who are some of the most over-rated bands of all time? There are a few bands that I find to be quite annoying and a few more that I have to question how they even got a recording contract! List your choices. Here's mine: Led Zeppelin - Robert Plant can't sing worth a damn!! His...

This is off their 2nd album, out soon. HELLYEAH is a super-group made up of Chad Gray and Greg Tribbet (Mudvayne) Tom Maxwell (ex-Nothingface) Bobzilla (ex-DamagePlan) and Vinnie Paul (ex-Pantera) Plus the vid has a pretty sweet lookin E body 'Cuda! ;)

Ronnie James Dio passed away this morning apparently. Complications due to a long battle against stomach cancer from what I hear. I wasn't a huge fan of his really but, what a loss! :(

Jester had a good point in the other thread...(did I really just say that?? :wtf: :D )...so what bands/musicians...etc... do you think didn't get the praise/recognition they deserved? I say Geoff Tate from Queensryche is one of the must under rated singers of the 80's! One listen to 'Queen of...

Anyone else check these guys out? They do interesting cover medleys of two or three songs you'd never expect together, but make 'em work! Their musicianship is obviously not to the level of some of the bands they cover (guitar work is lacking at times), but the way they pull the songs together is...

Since Doc posted about the Rock Sugar band, I thought I'd start one about favorite mash-ups. This is one of my Favs...AC/DC vs Eminem

Songs that you like as much or more than the originals? A couple I can think of offhand are Hurt - Johnny Cash (original by Nine Inch Nails) and Sundown by Elwood (original by Gordon Lightfoot)

I was going tio say it was Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Shining down like water" from Have You Ever Seen the Rain, but then Julian Lennon's "Sitting on a pebble by the river, playing guitar" from Valotte occurred to me. What's the stupidest song lyric you've ever heard? Please, no Nickleback...

Been reading this. http://www.amazon.com/I-Am-Ozzy-Osbourne/dp/0446569895 pretty darn good so far.

Well one of my favorite groups since childhood is rolling into Portland in mid May. The Eagles. I would LOVE to see them live, but tickets are $100-$1,000 dollars!!! :wall:Obviously, were I to go, I'd be getting the $100 "cheap seat" ticket which is in what we call Nosebleed section. :doubt: Is...

Brief rundown.... I'm pretty much self taught and been playing off and on for about 16 years now. Trouble is, save for a handful of original riffs, I'm pretty much only good at playing other peoples songs. I've been going through YouTube for the instructional vids on Pentatonic and Chromatic...

I bought the new Alice in Chains CD today, Black Gives Way to Blue, and have been listening to it for about three hours. Does William Duvall sound exactly like Layne Staley? No. He does, however, harmonize beautifully with Jerry Cantrell in a way that's still distinctly AIC, and he's a great...

This is so cool! :D

OH YEAH!!! :dance: I swear this man has put out more stuff dead than he ever did while he was alive! :D http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/new_jimi_hendrix_album_to_be_released.html

OK, a group of friends and I are having a little contest. Who can find the cheesiest song to play on the jukebox in one of the local taverns. The bar has one of those fancy-pants internet-enabled jobs, but it can't find everything. Monday is the day on which we'll throw down and decide who found...

Got bored and figured I haven't played in a while. I made a few mistakes in it but oh well lol. Been kickin this 'song' around for a while and have NO idea how to finish it! It's pretty basic and simple, just haven't been able to do much with it.
