I’ve been following Susan Boyle’s career ever since I saw her awesome performance of I Dreamed a Dream in Britain’s Got Talent. I was not really a diehard fan but I acknowledge her talent and I felt quite touched that a woman who is not young at all and …

Overview – Melissa, the debut album released by Mercyful Fate, is an album that I actually got into because of Metallica. For those of you who don’t know, Metallica released a cover album entitled Garage Inc. which featured a song called Mercyful Fate which turned out to really just …

Overview – Black Metal, the second album released by Venom, continues in the very heavy and fast sound that Venom introduced on Welcome To Hell and once again proves why they’re considered so influential to both the thrash metal and black metal genres. I think that out of all …

Overview – Humanity: Hour I, the sixteenth album and latest by The Scorpions is a very dark toned album yet definitely an album that I really enjoy. In fact I remember that when this record first came out and I heard it, I was extremely impressed and I really …

Overview – Texas Flood, the debut album released by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble is a collection of excellent blues songs, and more importantly to me, excellent guitar playing by Stevie Ray Vaughan. I’ll be honest and say that I really don’t listen to very much blues rock …

Overview – Together Through Life, Bob Dylan’s 33rd released studio album shows the man still has the drive to make music but it just isn’t as good as what it once was. Obviously I don’t expect Dylan to release another Highway 61 Revisited or Blonde On Blonde, although his …

Overview – The GBME Epoch Electric Guitar Pack is actually the first guitar, and all guitar related accessories, that I received when I first started playing. Obviously, the guitar isn’t going to be great for only around $170 or whatever it was, but honestly, this guitar is just horrible …

Overview – The Digitech RP-250 is a multi effects pedal used for guitars which has a variety of sounds, effects, amplifier models, and recording uses. I was looking into effects pedals and figured I would try out this pedal because of how much this one pedal could do and …

Overview – The Formation of Damnation, the latest album released by Testament is the first new material released by the band since The Gathering, released nine years previous. This album also marks Alex Skolnick’s return to the band, one huge reason why the guitar riffs on this album are …

Overview – About a month ago I was trying to buy a couple of blacklight posters and I ended up purchasing them from www.blacklight.com. Overall, my experience with the company was positive and I’m satisfied with my order and the quality of the products. However, after that order I …

Overview – The ESP/LTD, V-401 is ESP’s response to all our companies putting out V shaped guitars, which is pretty much every company to be honest. Just a note, I don’t personally own this guitar but I’m currently in the market for one so I decided to play one …

Overview – Master Of Reality, Black Sabbath’s third shows the band continuing on with the extremely innovative metal sound that they developed on their self titled record and on Paranoid, but now they’re also including more melodic and acoustic songs, a sign of musical development. And for anyone thinking, …

Overview – Dirt, the second album by Alice In Chains, continues with the sound that was developed and put forth on their debut album, but now it’s darker and sounds a lot more haunting, a lot of this due to Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley. Generally I’m not a …

Overview – Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd, the debut album from Lynyrd Skynyrd is a nice collection of southern rock tracks with a very vocal and guitar driven album. Lynyrd Skynyrd is another one of those classic rock bands who isn’t really among my favorites in the genre but I do …

Overview – Moving Pictures, the eighth album released by Rush, is my personal favorite Rush album and despite some problems and complaints I have with the album, I still think the songwriting is quite strong. I was never a huge fan of Geddy Lee’s vocals so that’s one obvious …

Overview – Machine Head, the sixth album released by Deep Purple, is the album that I would have to say is my favorite out of Deep Purple’s entire career. The album gains most of it’s recognition for being the album which has Smoke On The Water, a song which …

Overview – Bonded By Blood, the debut album released by Exodus definitely established them as a thrash band to watch over. I think the only reason why this album didn’t receive a lot more attention, although it did still receive a lot, is because it was released in 1985 …

Overview – Bomber, Motorhead’s fourth album is an album that I feel is often overlooked due to both the record which followed it and the record it precedes. A lot of times when Motorhead is mentioned the albums to really get mentioned are Overkill and The Ace Of Spades, …

Overview – Apocalyptica a Finnish rock band released their debut album which was filled with nothing Metallica covers, but the twist is, all of these covers are played on cellos. I mean the idea of a group releasing an album of Metallica covers doesn’t sound special or unique at …

Overview – Speed Metal Symphony, the debut album released by Cacophony is one of the best examples of an album I can think of where the guitarists work extremely well together. For those of you who don’t know, Cacophony is basically a neo-classical band whose two guitarists were Jason …

Overview – Surfing With The Alien, the second album released by Joe Satriani, is another of Satriani’s albums to be completely instrumental and driven primarily by his guitar work. One thing that I always liked about Satriani is that he wasn’t really one of the shredders who just played …

While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.
For an eighties track, it’s all there. …

Overview – 1984, the final album that Van Halen released with David Lee Roth, was definitely not a disappointing final record with the original front man. I’m not a huge fan of Van Halen, although I do like some of their records and I actually managed to see them …

You may remember Danielle White from American Juniors in 2003. I remember that I was a fan of her from the couple episodes I saw, and I was happy for her that she made it into the group. I decided to see if there was anything new …

Overview – Painkiller, the 12th album released by Judas Priest, is surprisingly one of my favorite albums ever released by them. I said surprisingly because generally, by a band’s 12th album they really aren’t very good anymore, or at least they’re not all that great, but something about this …

Overview – Highway To Hell, AC/DC’s sixth effort, is my personal favorite record out all of all of their releases, whether with Bon Scott or with Brian Johnson. Unfortunately, this record is the last to feature Bon Scott as AC/DC’s vocalist who unfortunately died the following year and was …

Overview – Rust In Peace, Megadeth’s fourth album, is considered the band’s greatest achievement and it’s also my personal favorite album from the band. For one thing, Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman never sounded so good together as they do on this album, the way that Friedman’s solos work …

Overview – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the Black Sabbath album which I personally used to consider my favorite. After listening to this record and Paranoid within a few days of each other, I have to say that it’s definitely a tough contest. Part of me really likes Paranoid because …

Overview – Paranoid, the second album released by Black Sabbath expands on the direction they introduced with their debut album and they somehow take that infamous dark sound and make it even better. Personally I thought that the debut album was extremely strong and innovative but Paranoid took this …

Lady Gaga’s newest album, The Fame Monster, is a really good album! I’m mostly into hard rock and classic rock and rarely like pop music, however this CD instantly caught my attention.
It’s not too often that you hear quality pop artists anymore, but Lady Gaga and The Fame …

I just recently bought the 2009 Fender Stratocaster Standard (Made in Mexico) and so far I have few complaints. Fender is known for its quality and this stratocaster is no exception.
The coat on the guitar protects it from light scratches. It’s hit my belt buckle a few …

I must admit, the first time i ever heard there music, I hated it. I listened to ‘ Feeling good ‘ and i thought it was absaloutley WIERD! So i never went near them. It was when my sister told me i would like this song ‘ …

Overview – Back In Black, the first album released by AC/DC after the death of their original singer Bon Scott is a tribute to him and a dedication as well. Although Back In Black is hailed as one of classic rock’s best album, with good reason in my opinion, …

Overview – Appetite For Destruction, the debut album released by Guns N’ Roses is hailed as one of the greatest debut albums ever released by a band, and after listening to this album multiple times and continuing to enjoy it, I can understand why. It’s interesting to me because …

Overview – Come Again, the debut album released by the Canadian rock band Thornley, is actually one of the first rock albums that I really remember listening to and making quite an impression on me. This is an album that carries more personal meaning to me just because it …

Overview – Electric Tears, Buckethead’s ninth album would have to be one of my favorite instrumental albums that I’ve listened to and definitely one of the calmest and most melodic as well. I’ll say right now from the start of this review and that this album really isn’t for …

Overview – South Of Heaven, the fourth album released by Slayer, definitely slowed things down after the extremely thrash driven Reign In Blood. I know that when people tend to think of slayer they think of extremely heavy metal, but more importantly, they think of extremely fast metal. When …

“Be Without You”
Performer: Mary J. Blige
Every since I can remember, I have been a fan–I use the term loosely–of Mary J. Blige’s music. I say I use the term loosely because I don’t really consider myself a fan: Fans stand out in the rain for concert tickets; fans plaster …

“She’s Like The Wind”
Performer: Patrick Swayze
When I first saw “Dirty Dancing”, I was in fifth or sixth grade and the movie had been out for over a decade by then. Being a kid, I couldn’t really appreciate the movie itself, but I did enjoy listening to all the songs …

“Nobody’s Fool”
Performer: Cinderella
“Nobody’s Fool” performed by the rock group Cinderella is a song I used to hear on those late infomercials for this particular set of cds (I can’t remember for, something about rock ballads) and I would hear various 80s rock groups and Cinderella was one of the …

“Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone
Performer: Cinderella
I can officially add “Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone” performed by Cinderella as my favorite take me back song. As I was listening to “Nobody’s Fool”, there was a sidebar of other videos posted by users; I kept …
