Alice In Chains Concert Footage

Here’s some concert Footage. Enjoy.

Alice In Chains Live @ Salem Armory

Had a great fucking night watching Alice In Chains last night; new singer Duvall is phenomenal singer, entertainer, and guitar player.  Jerry Cantrell was a God like always, and it’s never bad to see Sean Kinney rocking the Fuck out with Mike Inez.  Cantrell’s amp blew out during “Dam That River” but it took ‘em only about 5 mins to get everything up and ready to go.  GREAT FUCKING SHOW.  ALICE IN CHAINS are still one of the best Metal / Hard rock bands we have left.  Here are some pics and I’ll upload videos soon.  Rock the Fuck on friends….

STEEL PANTHER – FEEL THE STEEL

DEATH TO ALL BUT METAL.  After hearing Feel the Steel life changed, things seem better again, no more pussy fucking music.  Enjoy.  Check out their single at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5tl2_K-d-g and check out their website at http://steelpantherrocks.com

Buckcherry – Live & Loud 2009

Buckcherry are one of the most underrated bands of the mid-late 90s.  Live & Loud 2009 is the bands’ first live album.  I feel that Buckcherry’s music was made for a live stage.  Check it out, let me know what you think.  Cheers.

TUNE UP MEDIA (Software for fixing iTunes)

So, if you’re really anal and love your iTunes music organized with all the album covers and right titles and all, you probably spend hours trying to keep your iTunes organized and clean.  I’d recommend this software, available at http://www.tuneupmedia.com/.

This software, cleans tracks, get’s album covers, recommends new artists and shows you concerts in your area based on your music selection.  It’s not a magic software though, it does take a lot of time to clean up iTunes, and it definitely fucks up a little so it has to be monitored.  It all really depends on your music and where you’re getting it from   My library is around 15,000 tracks and I’m running it off of an external drive which makes TUNE UP a little bit slower.

All in all, it’s not a bad deal.   It makes iTunes function much nicer once you get then hang of it.  Enjoy.

MUSE – THE RESISTANCE

Rating:  6/10

My friend just hooked me up with MUSE’s new album THE RESISTANCE.  I heard their single, it sounds great but I’m sorry to say that they totally ripped off Marylin Manson’s style, everything about that song reminded me of MANSON.  Didn’t really like the album much, I felt it was lacking those amazing guitar riffs I’m used to hearing in MUSE’s first 2 records.  The song Unnatural Disaster has a nice hook but nothing sounds like Muscle Museum or Plug in Baby. It’s kind of a shame because I really know that those guys rock, the album is still worth having in your collection.

Megadeth – Endgame

Rating: 8/10

It seems that the past few days, there’s been so many rock / metal demons in the works; from ALICE IN CHAINS – BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE, PEARL JAM – BACKSPACE, MUSE – RESISTANCE, and now MEGADETH – ENDGAME.  The album is great! It kicks of with a 2:15 minute instrumental with amazing solos, then the album just keeps getting better and heavier.  I know a lot of people have a grudge against MEGADETH due to the METALLICA issue.  Both bands fucking rock, but this round, I believe that ENDGAME took the game against DEATH MAGNETIC.  In a recent interview with Dave Mustaine, he said, “The record is a complete smash success right now for us,” “Even web sites that are notorious for hating Megadeth, like Blabbermouth, we got an 8.5 out of 10 there. I mean, go figure.“

Alice In Chains – Black Gives Way To Blue

Rating: 9.5/10

The wait is finally over, the new Alice in Chains is out.  Black gives way to Blue is streaming in it’s entirety at http://www.alice-in-chains.net/ .  It sounds amazing, it’s on its 3 round of repeat now, William Duvall is an amazing singer, Cantrell is still the same old Cantrell, it fucking rocks.  Check it out.  Cheers

Logic Studio 9

HELL YEAH!!! Logic Studio 9!!!  I finally upgraded to the new LOGIC, and after using it for endless hours since I got it I must say it’s the real deal.  Academic Edition cost me $149.00.  The new plug-ins, virtual instruments, amp and and pedal modulators are astounding, there are countless presets and they all sound legit.  Moving track information and nudging audio is much easier now, tracks don’t have to be cut for things to move, you can move it within the track.  I still have a lot to explore in the new Logic, but I’ll keep you all posted.
