Universe is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut record, Scars On Broadway. Universe opens with an electric guitar riff which I would describe as sort of a driving lead which goes nicely into a drum pattern played by Dolmayan before picking up in terms …

As a classical enthusiast and performer myself, I have a large CD library with around nine or ten recordings of the infamous, devilishly difficult Sibelius Violin Concerto. Joshua Bell is one of my favorite violinists, and a friend gave me a CD of him playing the Sibelius and …

One of the old time singers I can truly say I like and have always liked is the singer Percy Sledge. I actually did not know his name until recently when I heard one of his songs playing on the radio again and did a quick google search, but …

Ryan Leslie, an artist / producer, classically trained in piano - has everything an artist needs, right? Well, that’s where it all goes wrong - he has too much. I’ve been a fan of Ryan Leslie since 2007, watching all his YouTube videos, and frequently checking his production credentials …

I hate this album. I hate it just because this is the last Pink Floyd album, for good. That’s the only reason, other than that, this is the first Pink Floyd album I got to listen to as a whole, and the song that made me listen, was High …

Light From Above is Black Tide’s first and only album so far, but there is supposed to be a new album coming out within the next year. The lyrics in this album don’t really have any deep meaning, but that isn’t the focus of this band. The focus is …

I like this album a lot. And there are numerous reasons for it. I think that Korn managed to intensify their emotional strength on this album. Their previous album was rather dark, and very aggressive, of course, and it dealt rather well with serious emotional subjects. This album does …

Overview - This Squier Stratocaster is the first guitar I ever owned and I can safely say, speaking from a few years of experience, that it’s okay for a while just to start learning on, but once you get better - you’re going to need something a lot better …

Honestly, I really dig this group. MTS is a doujin artist - in English, that basically means it’s a Japan-situated artist that arranges popular tunes with unique twists. Magical Trick Society in particular falls squarely in this genre - their arrangements of popular video game tunes have definitely not …

“Far Behind” is quite possibly Candlebox’s biggest single. In fact, it is the only song I actually know by them off hand anyways. The song reached the Billboard Top 20 in July of 1993 but wasn’t officially released as a single until 1994. The song appears on their self …

This album is a very interesting form of musical art. This is one of the deepest and pompous albums that have ever been recorded. There is a song called The Same Deep Water as You on this album, and I think that the concept of depth is really crucial …

Effervescing Elephant is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his second solo record, Barrett. The track starts off with just about twenty seconds of just faint background noise with not much going on. The thing I want to stress about Effervescing Elephant is that it’s a very …

I first heard this song on my boyfriend’s ipod. I completely forgot that I had even heard it before because while we were playing Monopoly, we were listening to his ipod and this song came on. I asked him what the song was called and who it was by, …

Bassists look for the same things when they buy a bass guitar: beefy tone, comfortable feel, great versatility, and of course, a killer look! I had all of these things in mind when I went searching for a new bass guitar. I have recently become busy with …

Personaly I don’t really like his new music style. I have preferred his old album and his first debut album on his own. Justified was more towards when he was with Britney Spears and the break up.
Now with his new album and his long term relationship with Cameron Diaz …

I generally do not listen to classical forms of music a lot, but on a rare occasion I will listen to the music of select singers and musicians. One of these people is the English born singer Sarah Brightman. There are so many things that I like about her …

I’d been a fan of Hillsongs not just because they promote Christianity and relate into their songs what the Christian life is all about, but also because of the variety of songs they write and sing —“from mellow to slow rock. I’m really not good at identifying genres but …

Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

I bought a cheap but good deal electric guitar, Lyon by Washburn. Black, nicely finished and very neat. There’s no pickguard and the dots on the fretboard is on the top and kind of invisible because it’s so small. The guitar itself looks like Washburn OX11 …

This mixtape is really good. I enjoyed every track on it. This is one of the few mixtapes that you can actually listen to all the way through without having to change tracks. This mixtape features tracks from Lil Wayne, U.G.K., Lil Flip, Chamillionaire & many more. Definitely something …

During the fall of 1994, I remember hearing Juicy by the Notorious B.I.G. on the radio and I found the song to be very catch especially the hook that was being sung by up and coming R&B trio Total. As a result, I was very intrigued and decided to …

In 1983, I attended a concert with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band playing. It was a wonderful concert. The best concert I had been to in a very long time. Fully enjoyed myself. It was my pleasure to once again get to see …

I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …

Burton’s movies, while not perfect adaptations of Batman, did get quite a bit right. Burton did have a solid understanding of the dynamics between characters. It’s true Joker did not really kill Bruce’s parents, but I understand why they set it up that way. While he …

Adam Lambert is the runner up of Season 8 American Idol. The Times describe him as an openly gay pop and rock artist and you can see it in the latest music video of Adam of the song If I had you. At first view, I hats down with …

I can’t remember exactly how I found out about the band Bring Me the Horizon, but what I do know was that it was a little after their song “Throne” had been released in 2015. Since then I’ve become enamored with their music, and they’ve become one of my new …

At first I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a guitar that appeared to be a “knock off” of a Martin D-45. Given the reputation that copy cat guitars generally bare, I was certain that the craftsmanship would be inferior. That coupled with being manufactured in Asia …

The Kaiser Chiefs is a band hailing from the United Kingdom. I first was introduced to their music by a friend of mine from England back in 2005. Their first album; Employment, was a hit with me. I liked all their songs on that release and then came Yours …

Just to see you smile is one of Tim McGraws many great songs. It is about a boy who quits his job so he can be with a girl. It seems a bit foolish to quit a job, but I guess it shows his dedication to the girl that …

For me personally there are many ways in which this album is a highlight for the career of the band. I think that there are so many songs on it that are good, and I think that the guys are not making any serious mistakes on this album, and …

No Pride is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Insomniac. The track opens up with a quick guitar rhythm comprised of the famous pattern of three power chords played on a heavily distorted guitar. Despite the predictable opening, one thing I do like about the …

Look out for this name: Justin Bieber. He’s around 14, I think and this kid will really go far. In fact, he has experience singing and rumors have it that he has or is going to have a singing album coming up soon. I first saw him …

This song says it all when it comes to how guys act when they decide they want an excuse to do something they shouldn’t be doing. They will find ways to treat their woman like junk and tell her she isn’t good at anything. This woman isn’t going to …
