Metallica - Seek And Destroy (Song)
Seek And Destroy, the penultimate track off of Kill —˜Em All, has to be one of the most well known songs from Metallica throughout their whole career and certainly, along with The Four Horsemen, the most well known song off of Kill —˜Em All. …
Nirvana: Unplugged In New York City
Nirvana: Unplugged in New York is a great CD that every rock lover should own. Nirvana: Unplugged in New York is truly a great historical event market because it is the last concert that Kurt Cobain played prior to his death. I think that Kurt Cobain was an outstanding …
Seventeen Seconds, 1980 Album by The Cure
This is a very beautiful record. Its beauty is very fine and well crafted. After you listen to this album for the first time, you might think that this record is not very rich in content, but in that case, you would be wrong, since this music is such …
World Music Awards
The world music awards was an average music show to watch, it was not anything out of the ordinary, i really expected more than what they showed for the night.
One of my favorite performances was the opening act which was Rhianna , she came out as usual …
Scars On Broadway - Enemy (Song)
Enemy is a track by Scars On Broadway which shows up on their self-titled debut record. Enemy starts off with a very light guitar riff which is dominated by a wah effect and certainly has sort of a dancing, or at least moving, rhythm to it. Something notable on …
Dishwalla’s Every Little Thing
This Dishwalla song is from the 2002 album, Opaline. Out of all the songs on this album (one of them is “Angels and Devils”) Every Little Thing is the best and I’m not saying for this album only but with all of the songs they have ever done. When …
Kanye West Album Graduation
The Kanye West graduation album is his third solo studio album. It also was the biggest album release of his career. Kanye West is a master producer and a great rapper. He has never put out any material that I have not liked. He has won many grammy’s in …
Funhouse by Pink
I bought Funhouse by Pink the other day and this is indeed a fun album. Listening to the tracks inside, I certainly think this is such a good song and I put on to listen to at night the whole time for these past few days already.
But …
Life is Beautiful by Sixx Am
I was in the passenger seat of a car with my aunt when I was listening to the song, “Life is Beautiful” by Sixx am. It was nearing the end of August, and I was looking at the way the sun was shining through the trees; the fleeting company …
Megadeth - I Know Jack (Song)
I Know Jack is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record The System Has Failed. Something to take note of about this song is that it’s an incredibly short track and doesn’t have all that much to it, it really doesn’t even follow the traditional structure of …
Radiohead - Karma Police (Song)
Karma Police is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album OK Computer. I believe Karma Police is one of the better known Radiohead songs, and I must say that I believe there is good reason for this. The song opens up with in a fairly moderate tempo …
Singer: Jermaine Jackson
I actually look at Jermaine Jackson as the best singer of the Jackson Family, although I often get shouted at for saying that. Jermaine could have easily gotten to the heights that his brother Michael Jackson did if he had his heart truly into the music, but instead he …
Longer by David Archuleta, American Idol 2008
Longer is a song originally sang by Dan Fogelberg. I may say that the song is wonderfully written and truly inspiring. I have never heard anyone else gave a rendition of this song except David Archuleta.
David Archuleta is a runner-up in American Idol 2008. In the final performance night, …
Empire State of Mind-Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys (song)
As my friend and I were griping about it the other night, I realized it might be interesting to offer a perspective on one of the most popular songs of the past year, “Empire State of Mind,” from rapper Jay-Z’s album “The Blueprint 3″ (released in late 2009) which …
The Flaming Lips - Lucifer Rising (Song)
Lucifer Rising is a song by the Flaming Lips and a bonus track to appear on their fourth studio record, In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Opening up with a heavily distorted introduction, I’m slightly reminded of a sound that Radiohead would go on to embrace many years after this …
Usher’s song Trading Places
I have chosen my review to be done over Usher’s latest song “Trading Places”… the video clip of this particular song has done an earth shaking over millions of people within these two days… the reporters as well as the people in general have given their point of views …
Taylor Guitars
Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …
Muse - Feeling Good (Song)
Feeling Good is a track which appears on Muse’s record Origin of Symmetry. I’m aware that this song is a cover so I can’t really comment about the structure or the songwriting of the track, but I can certainly commend on how Muse apply their own style to it. …
Working Man by Rush
Many know Rush for their over the top progressive music with Geddy Lee on Bass with his crazy bass fills and high voice as well as his synth playing skills and of course Alex Lifeson with his awesome guitar tone and phrasing in many unusual scales as well as …
Tool - Aenima
I bought Aenima after i had loved Tool’s next album (Lateralus). I found that Aenima is just as good. When Aenima was released Tool was just a promising name in the hard rock genre, this album enstablished the band not only as a great name worldwide, blessed by sales …
Pink Floyd - Ibiza Bar (Song)
Ibiza Bar is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on the soundtrack for the film More. The song opens up with a nice guitar rhythm from Gilmour going down the center of the track alongside with drums and bass while a guitar lead can be heard in the …
Mumford And Sons - Winter Winds (Song)
Winter Winds is a song by Mumford and Sons which appears on their debut record, Sigh No More. Like with most of the tracks on this record, the song opens up with the very characteristic sound of Mumford and Sons which is comprised of instrumentation which generally does not …
System of a Down Steal This Album!
Steal this Album! Is unfortunately my least favorite of the System of a Down albums, but that doesn’t make it a bad album; it’s still a fairly good album, because even when System of a Down is at their worst, they’re still fairly good.
The first is Chic’n Stu which …

One Way - Hillsong
One Way by Hillsong is another praise and worship song that has become really famous because of its wonderful message (lyrics) and accompaniment. The song is upbeat, very unlikely for a music or song that talks about Jesus, or God himself. Well this song is very unique in itself …
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Overview - The Division Bell, Pink Floyd’s final album, shows that David Gilmour can continue to really produce solid music even without the help of his past partner, Roger Waters. After the first few tracks I figured that this record would average and wouldn’t have anything too special in …
As I Am by Alicia Keys
If I could change something from As I Am by Alicia Keys, it would be the image of her CD album. It is quite oldish looking, but I suppose she wants it that way. Not that bad anyway, but I would prefer the glam Alicia Keys on the …
The Rolling Stones - I Wanna Be Your Man (Song)
I Wanna Be Your Man is a cover of a Beatles song performed by The Rolling Stones. Generally when I review covers I’m not all that familiar with the original version of the song but in this case I know the cover and I know the original as well …
Vybz Kartel deejay
I have been a fan of the popular dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel. This is as a result of a combination of mostly two factors. The first is because of his personality which I guess would include the things he has done to earn himself a crimminal record, and a …
Metallica - The Shortest Straw (Song)
The Shortest Straw, the fifth track on And Justice For All is one of the tracks which I would personally chose to be a representation for this record. If I were to asked to select a few songs off of And Justice For All which I felt did a …
John 5: The Devil Knows My Name DVD
John 5:The Devil Knows My Name DVD by metal bluegrass guitarist John 5 is a pretty cool DVD that shows you how to play some of his most complex licks from some of his songs on The Devil Knows My Name solo record album. This DVD is really weird …
Bizzy Bone CD
Bizzy Bone’s album The Gift is a very deep and emotional. This CD shows Bizzy Bone’s emotional side. I think that this album is a work of art in my view. The beats and production was just great on the album. Bizzy Bone displays his rap talent by showing …
Different Gear, Still Speeding 2011 Album by Beady Eye
I was, for a very long time, a huge Oasis fan. I loved their first albums. Especially I enjoyed the second and the third albums. But all their work after 1998 left me rather disappointed. So, I was very interested as to what was going to occur after the …
Help Somebody by Vanzant
Vanzant is a little rough around the edges but Help Somebody is an excellent song about how to live your life. He talks about how he was taught by his grandparents how to live a right life. He has a great message in this song that is upbeat with …
Just like a Pill (song) by Pink
Since her first single Get the Party Started, I started to become a huge fan of Pink. I love her style, her body, attitude and performance. Actually of her songs are worth listening and even her videos are worth watching. Just like this song I am about to review …

R. Kelly
“Ignition (Remix)”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
Director: Billie Woodruff.
The director of the utmost ghetto R. Kelly video “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” returns here for an even more ghetto video “Ignition (Remix)”, the first single and music video from R. Kelly’s album “Chocolate Factory”. I guess R. Kelly finally realized his …
Kuff (song by Shelly Thunder)
I am sure this one sounds far out, but yes, Kuff is the name of a song by an artist named Shelley Thunder who is a dancehall artist or queen. It is now a song which we would call Old School here in Trinidad and a few other Caribbean …
System Of A Down - Chop Suey (Music Video)
Overview —“ Chop Suey, another music video and single released by System Of A Down for their second record, Toxicity, is one of their more well known songs, and for good reason I’d say. The song has a lot of energy behind it yet it still has some softer …
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Overview - Iron Maiden, the self titled album of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, is the band’s first effort and one of two efforts to feature singer Paul Di’Anno before being replaced by Bruce Dickinson. The main thing that I always associate Iron Maiden with is guitar …
Celine Dion: Let’s Talk About Love CD
The liner notes are essentially just the lyrics, but it is pretty thick considering that there are 16 songs on the CD. I do wish they were easier to read. Give me old fashioned LP records when you didn’t need a magnifying glass to read lyrics.
Treat Her …
Slash-Godfather Theme (song)
Often during live performances with Guns N’ Roses, Slash would perform his guitar solo spot that transitioned into the first note that many ears would easily recognize as the theme to the Godfather Trilogy. It starts off with slow with a lot of sustain and vibrato. Then once it …
“Black Sails In The Sunset” by AFI
“Black Sails In The Sunset” is one of the premier punk albums of the 90s. Put simply, it is a solid record with no filler, and provides an hour of some of the best and fullest punk of the 1990s. It is certainly AFI’s best record in my opinion. …
Fender Frontman 65R: 65w Guitar Amplifier
One day while I was at Guitar Center, I was looking for a guitar amp to use in small gigs at my place and for recording. I needed something that could be turned up extremely loud without any static, cracking, or risk of breaking. It also needed to produce …
Muse - Unnatural Selection (Song)
Unnatural Selection is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. Unnatural Selection is one of the more guitar driven tracks on the entire album which is something that I enjoy a lot about it. One thing about The Resistance is that a lot …
Doggystyle - Snoop Doggy Dogg
I thought that Doggystyle by Snoop Doggy Dogg was and still is a classic rap album. I remember in 1993 hearing about the album coming out and I just could not wait to go to my local music store to purchase it. I purchased the album on the day …

Sporting a 1970s funk and soul theme, “Suga Mama” is predominantly filmed in black and white all throughout and begins with Beyonce donning one of her sexiest outfits yet, a 1950s masculine suit with form-fitting pants (mmm hmm, yep). She sits …
Tool 10,000 Days
Tool’s 10,000 days has been a welcome addition to my music collection, in early 2006 I picked this album up soon after it’s releases, the album packaging was immence, a digipak with 3d glasses and matching booklet, I have never been as impressed with album packaging as I was …
