Overview —“ Insomnia, the lead-off track of Megadeth’s eighth record, Risk, is certainly a track that sounds quite a bit different than any song on the previous seven Megadeth records. In fact, pretty much all of Risk had a different sound and feel to it than the previous Megadeth …

The back street boys are not a bad band and they are actually quite good and I like the fact that each band member had a different look than one another which was cool because this made them quite diverse. I also liked how every member of the band …

ACE FREHLY
Ace’s solo album is widely considered the best of the KISS solo LP’s. (well, John Denver’s sappy music was better than the other three solo KISS LP’s!)
You have to give Ace credit for really letting his talent shine through. This looks like a project he spent a …

This is a good new cd. It is Lenny Kravitz’s newest cd. Compared to Lenny Kravitz’s other cd’s, such as Baptism, and the Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits, this is nothing. With his other cd’s compared to other cd’s he has to many slow songs. By slow, I mean a …

Something a little different to some of their newer releases. Patience. A slower track, clear but very easy to listen to.
It’s not so directly about love this time. I think it’s probably about a relationship break down that has the potential to be reignited.
The reason why I like this …

ALIVE II
Haven’t we been down this road before? KISS releases a second LIVE album and it seems more mixed than ‘live’ like the first ALIVE Album (which ironically was also mixed quite heavily in the studio)
Considering that the songs presented here are not present on ALIVE I you can’t …

—¦And Justice For All, the title track of Metallica’s fourth record, is I believe the second longest song they have (The Outlaw Torn being the first) as the song is 9:47 in track length. With a length like this it isn’t unreasonable to be weary of listening to the …

The Dean Boca 12 String Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar (wow that’s a long name) is my favorite 12 string guitar, after the Rickenbacker. I ordered it online from Musicians Friend. A lot of 12 strings have a nice sound but lack that classic 60’s quality that is …

Jason Mraz is one of good musician that I admire. He’s work is always nice to listen eventhough the music seems difficult. Like one of his song, I’m yours. Like usually, Jason Mraz always sing fast on the lyrics like a half rap but it’s really nice.
I’m yours lyrics …
