Karl Denson's Tiny Universe

Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe FINALLY Get Their Big Break

Ok so that title is absolutely a joke because anyone who has heard Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe play already knew that they were the real deal.  Those of us in the music community are certainly familiar with his music.  But thanks to the television show NCIS New Orleans now so does everyone else.

Inside Metallica: The Reason You Can’t Hear The Bass On And Justice For All Is Lars Ulrich

When Lars Ulrich makes news he really knows how to grab the headlines.  Let me say that Lars is one of the reasons I play the drums and nothing will change that.  Metallica fans know that in most cases when Lars wants something he usually gets it.

Raising Sand

Review: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Raising Sand

Perhaps at first, one might not pair legendary rock icon,Robert Plant with the bluegrass and country influence of Allison Krauss but after you hear “raising sand” in its entirety, it makes perfect sonic sense.

Phish

Phish fans know that spending Halloween with Phish is usually an experience unlike many others.  The band has been known for putting on a ‘musical costume’ at their Halloween shows and delighting Phans by playing an album from another band in its entirety (that’s Phish’s costume).  However, last Halloween Phish did something a little out of character and played their own new material from what would eventually become Fuego.  Is this a sign of things to come for future Halloween…

Gene Simmons is back in the news again. Not for his music with KISS and not because of the Arena Football team he is part owner of. This time he had some more controversial statements to make.

This isn’t an article that is so much about Guitar News as it is about FREAKIN AWESOME guitar!

The video is simple and straight forward.  A guy with a guitar and a guy with some percussion and a hell of a lot…

Tween Metal Band Unlocking The Truth Signs to Sony

Unlocking The Truth

These days, having the support of a major label is often the difference between making it and going bankrupt for a band. No matter how much complaining they do, major labels definitely have access to assets and monetary sums that are far out of the reach of an independent label. This leads to the major labels often having first pick of artists on their roster, which makes the choices each of the three company’s respective A & R departments make…

Asking Alexandria Takes Time Off

Asking Alexandria

Okay, okay. We’ll admit it. Perhaps that headline is a bit misleading. You see, according to frontman Danny Worsnop, the band is still together and working on new material, but fans shouldn’t expect to hear anything for quite some time. You see, the band has already declared plans to take the first half of 2015 off from touring and producing in an effort to redefine their sound. Once that sound has come into formation, the band will need to pen…

Guns N Roses

In what seems to have become a trend in recent months, yet another classic rock act has announced plans to take some time off of touring. This time, the group is heavy metal legends Guns N’ Roses, though they aren’t planning on being gone for long. According to keys player Dizzy Reed, it would be highly unlikely to see the band attempt any other touring or music making for the rest of the year. However, he claims to be band…
