Johnnie Walker
You don't hear him that much on the air...well, except for a million commercials and stuff, but mostly he hides behind the scenes, trying to make things work. He occasionally succeeds.
Black Sabbath's new album, 13, is not far away! They've been playing shows and performing some new songs from it, and thanks to the internets, we have the chance to hear the songs before the album even comes out!
Get your Sabbath fix with some live new stuff! Blow up some computer speakers!
So, I just read a blog on our sister station KISS-FM's website that Patty Campos posted about what men are thinking about women. While it's good, it seems to be a little off. Here's the original blog, and these are my humble thoughts on it.
I've been a huge fan of both Iron Maiden and Steve Vai for a lot of years now...don't ask how many...and this is one of the coolest things I've seen! The mighty Steve Vai kills on this version of "The Trooper", with IM's Nicko McBrain on drums! (Try to ignore the other guitar player during the solo section.)
What do Dave Lombardo of Slayer, Ray Luzier of Korn, Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden, Will Calhoun from Living Colour and Toto's Simon Phillips have in common?
They're all huge John Bonham fans...but of course, what drummer isn't right?
This year they all performed at the Bonzo Bash, celebrating the music of Led Zeppelin, and the hugely influential drumming of the one and only John Bonham.
By now, you've surely seen that inspirational, moving video of the women describing themselves for the Dove beauty ad. It's a great advertising idea to help women feel better about themselves, and to attach their name to it.
But what if it was flipped around to men? How would guys describe themselves?
Hey, these are the videos I'm watching right now from Bush...some new live performances from Houston. We made the announcement of Bush coming to headline the 2013 edition of the El Paso Downtown Streetfest recently, and I know a lot of people are looking forward to this show! I am, it's going to be a great weekend.
Let's get pumped for the Streetfest with these new live Bush songs...enjoy!
We know that David Draiman has been busy since Disturbed's hiatus began, forming Device, singing on the new Megadeth, and producing the new Trivium CD. We also know that John Moyer joined Adrenaline Mob.
But what have Dan Donegan and Mike Wengren been up to?
There are a couple of funny guys in England, actually there are a lot of funny guys there, but these guys do videos for a music store called Anderton's. One of the guys is Lee Anderton, and the other is a great guitar player and singer named Rob Chapman, who is in the band Dorje and owns Chapman Guitars (with Lee). They do a lot of really cool product demos of the gear they get in, so you can get the scoop on the gear before you buy it.
So many people are waiting with baited breath for the new Star Wars movie to come out. Whether to flame it mercilessly, or embrace it as the saviour of the series, and the redemption of the Jar Jar Binks hell we've been living in. Well, just to whet your appetite, there's a behind the scenes video out from the screenwriter for Episode VII! You get an unprecedented inside look into the beginnings on the new movie!
A lot of manufacturers talk about "hand-built" guitars, and for some of them, they mean it. Others use machines to do most of the shaping, and then finish by hand. There's nothing wrong with that, as the computers can make your guitar exactly the same way every single time, and it saves a lot of time.
But this guy, Ben Crowe, the owner and until very recently, only employee of Crimson Guitars, actually does everything by hand.
This is an exciting time for Sabbath fans, with the first song from the new album "13" coming out last Thursday...all NINE minutes of it...and the new album not too far away. We also have a good clip from yesterday's show in Auckland of another song from the new album, called "End of the Beginning". It sounds oddly familiar, doesn't it? Still cool, though, and Tony can still play his ass off!
For those of you who love Resident Evil, that guy (Shinji Mikami) is working on another scary-as-hell video game, called The Evil Within. It's not due out until next year, but Bethesda (who gave us the amazing Elder Scrolls games and Fallout series) is releasing this monster, so it should be really awesome! Get some creeps, and check out the trailer!
