Thank goodness for Guitar Hero World Tour. Ever since I got that game, my son's interest in songs with subjects about fruit salad, cold spaghetti, etc. has certainly waned. Barney beget The Wiggles beget Imagination Movers beget The White Stripes. Long car rides are now tolerable, however, making sure my ...

The date in the title of the post is correct. I didn't get the year wrong.
Thirteen months ago, I saw King's X and Extreme at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore. I just found this draft post with just the setlists from the evening that I meant to expand upon, but ...

If you visit the Chickenfoot home page (today at least), you will see a video of 4 people's mouth asking "What is Chickenfoot?" followed by a very short clip of a song. You may be able to figure out what is going on without my help, but I thought I'd ...

I've made no secret of the fact that the genre of music I favor is hard rock/heavy metal. However, I noticed something today: I have a lot of music by female singer/songwriters in my MP3 collection. I realized this when I saw the Daily MP3 Deal in the Amazon MP3 ...

I'm Jewish and I enjoy music with an edge. So, you may understand why listening to Christmas music is not one of my favorite things to do. I'm sure that if Metallica or Van Halen put out a Christmas album, I'd listen to it year round. However, you just don't ...

I have always been a fan of hard rock and some heavy metal. However, I never understood how people can like the genre Death Metal or Thrash Metal (by the way, I'm lumping them both into the same genre although I have a feeling they are two distinct genres and ...

I heard the new Guns 'N Roses single, the title track from their upcoming album Chinese Democracy. I was not impressed at all. It sounded like someone that kind of sounded like Axl Rose singing for a band that is just a generic hard rock band. There was nothing special ...
