I've never been good at filling these things out, but here it goes. I like long walks in cold mountain air, preferably with snow on the ground. I enjoy drinking fine soda by the crackling fire, and deep tissue massage. I hope to one day grow up an become and astronaut, so I can fly to Venus to see if that's really where women come from. If it's true, I'll bring one back for you, too. Unless it's a dude you want, and then you're out of luck...sorry. My favorite month is October, because Halloween is the best holiday ever! It allows me to openly proclaim my love and obsession with scary movies without being seen as some sort of lunatic. Okay, not too much of a lunatic. I'm a huge fan of rock and metal music, and you'll often hear me blasting the control room speakers into oblivion every night during my show. My engineer doesn't like me very much, since he has to fix them. Sorry, Mike.

Go Backstage with Guns N Roses for Private Gear Tours on the Road
So I spend my mornings before coming to work checking out gear videos on YouTube. I've watched a ton of them, and I thought you guys would like these rig rundowns for Guns N Roses.

This news is incredibly exciting, but you couldn't tell from the video released for it. The University of Washington have successfully connected two people's minds across the internet to play a video game! Think "Pacific Rim", but with one guy playing the old Atari game Defender.
Joe Bonamassa Keeps the Show Going Even When the Microphones Break!
We've all seen musicians throw their little tantrums on stage when things don't go their way. Singers who throw down mice that stop working and storm off stage, some of whom are never seen again, guitarists who slam guitars down, even drummers who throw stuff. It's kind of embarrassing, even for us watching. I understand that you're pissed that things aren't perfect for the fans.

Justin Timberlake Goes Metal – Suit and Tie Kicks Ass in Metal Form
Justin actually does some great metal here! Okay, not really, it's that crazy guy Andy Rehfeldt at it again. Just don't tell Lisa Sanchez it's not real, I've got her convinced this was an awesome metal performance he did of the song.
She even made the comment, "Wow, those girls in the crowd don't even know how to react to this!"
