I bought a pack of 5 sets of D’Addario XL Nickel Round Wound strings over at my local music store one day because they were on sale for a couple bucks a set. According to the case, they are known as “The Player’s Choice”, and they are apparently the …

Sick and tired of breaking 2-4 conventional guitar strings a week, I decided I needed to upgrade to something that can take a real beating without breaking. My playing style goes anywhere from horror punk, like older Misfits music, to deathrock, like Samhain, to rapid hardcore punk, meaning I …

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 …

I am a major music junkie. You name an album and I have probably either listened to it or already know the words to each and every one of the songs by heart. That is how much I love listening to music. For awhile, I have not been finding …

I rented this concert dvd from Netflix, because I have long been a fan of Jon Anderson’s music. While I was born a little late for the “Yes” era, I do appreciate the quality of their music, and of course the front man is one of my favorite …

Linkin Park’s Album Hybrid theory is one of my all time favorite music CD’s. I am an avid Linkin Park fan and have been to three different concerts featuring Linkin Park. All of them were a blast and each outdid the other. For …

I don’t often purchase country music, but over the years I have gravitated toward certain artists like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and The Dixie Chicks. Recently, I have been listening to an artist by the name of Jessie James. She is a young country singer who just released her …

It’s every musician’s dream to go on the road and tour. But that also means he has to subject his beloved gear to the rigorous tortures of travel. It’s always a wise move to invest in a guitar case that could help prevent your gear from sustaining …

I recently bought the Cheap Trick authorized greatest hits CD and one of the songs that really appealed to me was the song, Dream Police. It’s a song that has that really catchy feel to it especially with the synthesizer melody in the background. The story of the song …

I was a big fan of Power Rangers as a kid, many people in my age group were back in the day. I kind of fell out of it after awhile, it was the alien rangers that kind of pushed me away from the series. Lately though, …

Great and Inspirational. That are just two words of the very many that I could come up with to describe this fantastic song. This is a second version of the song “Airplanes”. It includes its original artists B.o.B and Hayley Williams of Paramore, but it also includes Eminem, a …

Colbie Caillet has recorded the feel good song of the decade with the song “Bubbly”. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you want to feel good, listen to “Bubbly”. It is a love song really, but it doesn’t feel as though it has to be limited to love …

Beyonce hit the nail on the head for millions of women when she recorded this song. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it), has a great dance beat and more women than men probably like the song. I absolutely love this song from start to finish. Beyonce has a …

This album is the latest in Neil Hannon’s belt, and a release I have looked forward to for a long time. The cd features sixteen brand new tracks composed and preformed in part by Hannon himself as in most of his other music.
Below is half of the track list …

George Strait is one of the top country music singers in it’s history. His songs have always had the tendency to fly high in the charts and people across the United States love his music. I am one of his fans and there are very good reasons why. There …

Lonestar is a country band that puts out one hit after the other. It has been a band that I have enjoyed for many years now. They came on the scene with songs like “Walking in Memphis”, “My Front Porch Looking In” and “Not a Day Goes By”. I …

In 1982 and 1983, Fang released their first two LPs, “Landshark” and “Where The Wild Things Are”, a pair of albums that are about as good and solid as it gets in second wave punk. In 1997, they were paired together and re-released in one package, providing over 40 …

Probably one of the craziest glam bands out there in the eighties that wasn’t very popular back in the day was the glam metal band nitro. They had everything from the highest pitch sreaming from screamer Jim Gillette and the blazing guitar work of Michael Angel Batio. One of …

Tim McGraw has been around country music for a while now and he has made a great success of career and his family all at the same time. He, along with his wife, Faith Hill, have been great at what they do no matter what it is. They shine …

Bruce Springsteen was one of the main singers that I listened to as a teenager. I love his music though sometimes I find it very difficult to understand what he is saying because he garbles his words. He has, however, given me great music to relate to and enjoy …

Some things never go out of style and Elton John is one of them. Elton John quickly soared to number one spots on the charts in the 1970’s and kept making those hits spanning a very long career. I love Elton John’s music but not his attitude so much. …

Rod Stewart isn’t the most handsome of guys, but he does have a unique voice that tends to draw me in at every turn. His voice does sound a bit scratchy but that is what makes his recordings so great. Rod Stewart has enjoyed great success as a singer …

Dolly Parton is so much more than just a country music singer. She is an actress and all around fun and happy person that deserves all the wonderful things that she has in her life. She is an endearing person who has been known for her rather large bosom …

Faith Hill, beautiful wife of Tim Mcgraw and loving mother is also an amazing singer with a beautiful voice. She is gifted in more ways that any person has a right to be and she has what appears to be a lifelong marriage to her husband who is also …

Pop music has never been the same since Michael Jackson came along. I have enjoyed Michael Jackson’s music since I was just a small child. He was a child as well and the Jackson 5 were one of the biggest music groups around at the time. Eventually, Michael went …

The Rolling Stones are old. Some people say they were far too old to be playing at the Super Bowl a few years back. I say leave them alone. They have earned the right to age, they have put in their time as young people, but their music lives …

Rascal Flatts is one of the best country music groups that modern times have seen. They have a clear cut set of values when it comes to the music they record which gives them an awesome reputation along with the a very successful career. I love Rascal Flatts from …

If you want to talk about a diverse singer, Kid Rock would be the one. He changes sides so often that you almost can’t keep up with him. He goes from songs like “American Badass” to “Picture” without batting an eyelash. Honestly, I don’t even know what genre that …

Taylor Swift fast became a Country music sensation and doesn’t show any signs of stopping yet. She has managed to get a lot of hit songs under her belt in a very short time. She is a beautiful, young woman who seemed, at one time, to be very well …

Toby Keith has been one of my favorite country music singers since he came on the scene. Many people take offense to his sometimes “rowdy” appearances in songs such as “Who’s Your Daddy” and “How Do You Like Me Now?”. These songs are just a small part of what …

Female country music singer, Martina McBride is one of my favorite singers. She has a habit of singing songs that are about strong women rather than the whiny songs that most country singers have a tendency to sing. Her music makes women feel as though they have the power …

The Eagles made a comeback album called “Hell Freezes Over” and it absolutely proved just how great the group really is. They are an easy listening type rock band that had long retired when they came back together for this tour turned album. Their talent shines through with songs …

In 1993, almost exactly a year after releasing their intense, grinding masterpiece debut, “In The Name Of Suffering”, the benchmark album of all Sludge, Eyehategod released their second record, “Take As Needed For Pain”. With this release, they set the standard even higher for Sludge- something that didn’t …

Elvis Presley is no longer with us but he certainly is still a name that everyone recognizes. I remember as a child, listening to Elvis on my mother’s stereo. He was still alive and well, but he had gained quite a bit of weight by the time he passed …

These days, I am not even in the slightest bit interested in both Christina Aguilera’s music and Christina Aguilera herself; however when Christina first became popular years ago in my early years of high school, I had been interested in her music and she since was also one of …

The first time I saw and heard of the artist called Pink was when I was still in my earlier days of high school when she was still a fairly new artiste. Now Pink became popular in an age where the popularity of boy and girl pop bands like …

The first time I heard this young lady’s music was when I was in high school, and as the years have passed I’ve heard almost nothing from her. Thinking about it now, that could have been as a result of one of two reasons or probably both. The first …

I discovered the folk metal band Eluveitie who are from Switzerland when one of their songs was playing on a heavy metal radio station used to listen to a lot some years ago. At the time, it was my first encounter with folk metal, and I liked what I …

Billy Talent The Album
This self-titled album was also the debut album for Canadian band Billy Talent. The album is about 45 minutes long and I bought it for about $10. I think this is the greatest of their three albums. It has the brash, harsh punk sound which seems …

In the midst of the golden years of Sludge Metal, pioneering Sludge band Eyehategod released their explosive, grinding debut, “In The Name Of Suffering”- a masterpiece that created Eyehategod place in the history and sound of Sludge Metal for the rest of its existence.
A sloppy, slow-paced mess of ultra-low …

Off of the second Led Zeppelin album, Led Zeppelin 2. The song Moby Dick is a four and a half minute jam by the band but mostly a solo spot for drummer John Bonham. The song has a pretty short musical intro, but that riff that John Paul Jones …

My favorite genre of music is alternative, and one of my most favorite bands ever is Coldplay. Their songs are often my soundtracks to the things I do everyday. I have a favorite Coldplay song for when I feel sad, when I’m running, when I’m driving, before …

One of my favorite albums of all time is Alanis Morrissette’s first internationally-released album, Jagged Little Pill. This was the album which sky-rocketed her to fame and which won her the Album of the Year Grammy in 1996.
I was a tween at that time, and this …

Besides composing,arranging and even singing in his music. Frank Zappa was also a very good improviser when it came to jamming on the guitar. He may have not been the fastest and technical, which is why he hired Steve Vai for some fast parts he couldn’t play, but His …
