Dream Theater’s New Drummer
June 3, 2011Dragonforce – Inside the Winter Storm
March 31, 2011Dragonforce – Inside the Winter Storm You’re hearing a sample of the much longer song. I really like this part of the song – the rhythm and the old school metal feel. This song is from the Ultra Beatdown album.
The Big Four
June 23, 2010March 21, 1988 was my first concert. It was Kiss playing on the Crazy Nights tour at the old Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. The opening act was Anthrax, supporting the LP Among the Living. I went to see Anthrax because some of my friends, who came with us to the show, liked them. [...]
Satellite Concert
June 21, 2010I bought myself a birthday present. Three bands I liked as a kid are playing together on the same stage for the first time ever. The concert is in Bulgaria but is going to be beamed by satellite to select movie theaters in the United States. Fortunately one is right of the road from where [...]

Dream Theater
August 25, 2009I’m really enjoying my discovery a couple years ago of a band I’d always known about but never listened to. Many years ago, I worked briefly with my wife’s cousin. He was into what he called “progressive metal,” including Dream Theater. At the time I wasn’t that interested in music and didn’t really take much [...]
American Soldiers
May 3, 2009Can a grown man cry at a heavy metal concert? I almost did. Tonight I saw Queensryche play in support of their most recent album, American Soldier. With four out of five original members and non-stop releases for 25 years, this is one of my favorite bands. They almost single-handedly created the progressive metal genre [...]
You so proud of me?
April 19, 2009San Francisco is a fun place to visit. On my way to dinner last night, I passed the Virgin Records superstore. It is going out of business. Every thing in the store 50-75% off! So of course, I had to stop in and check it out. I’d say the place was about 45% cleaned out. [...]

House of Rain or was it House of Pain?
April 6, 2009Sometime in 1990, an L.A. glam band called Faster Pussycat (one of the dumbest band names) scored a hit single with a ballad called House of Pain. It’s a song about a young boy with divorced parents, whose father never comes around. It is a pretty poignant song because you can tell the song writers [...]
