Thanksgiving is over and so is the rush at work. Nothing is worse than working in a supermarket during the holidays so my hard work earned me a long weekend after my Friday shift. I planned to do three things on my four days off: sleep, go to the Patriots game, and catch up on some Metal. [...]
I like Thanksgiving because it’s a time to get together with family without all the gift giving and fanfare. You can just kick back and relax with people you enjoy being with and then eat some great food. It’s also a day that reminds you of what is important in life and what you have [...]

WANTED Cyrus Zain – self-titled E.P. (2005) Cyrus Zain caught my attention in 2006 when then 15 year old guitarist Dario Lorina was named the lead guitarist for former Warrant vocalist Jani Lane’s solo band. I didn’t know much about Dario Lorina except that he was from the Boston area and I take a [...]

R.I.P. – Kevin DuBrow (1955-2007) It was a sad day last year when the Metal world was shaken with the news of Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow’s passing in his Las Vegas home. Quiet Riot hit it big when I was starting to get deep into the Hard Rock scene back in the early ’80s. [...]

R.I.P. – Eric Carr (1950-1991) November 24, 1991 was the day that my world came crashing to a halt when the sad news of KISS drummer Eric Carr’s unexpected death flashed across MTV News. There was already sad news with Queen’s Freddie Mercury passing away the same day but this was a member of KISS…..my [...]

R.I.P. – Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) It’s still hard to believe that it’s been 17 years since Freddie Mercury passed away. I’ve been a Queen fan since I was a young kid and he has always been my favorite vocalist. I never got to see Queen in concert with Freddie at the mic but, from the [...]

Today is the big day! Guns N’ Roses finally released the long awaited CHINESE DEMOCRACY album! It’s been 17 years since the band has released new material (I’m not counting 1993′s THE SPAGHETTI INCIDENT) and at least 13+ years since Axl Rose started talking about a new GnR record. It’s finally here and I went [...]

I love Ebay! There is no better place to find obscure albums while sitting in front of your stereo spinning discs. Unfortunately, the current economy has stopped my rare CD buying but it hasn’t stopped everybody! There are still fans and collectors willing to pay a premium price for a CD that may or may [...]
