Music! Mayhem! Madness!

Alice in Chains - Nutshell. I never understood how AIC were labeled a GruDgE band. They had a sound that reminded me more of Black Sabbath then say, Pearl Jam? The band also wrote a few slow numbers such as this soul melting, tear flowing song. Rest in Peace, Mr. Stanley.

Aria - Angel Dust. Aria is a Russian metal band who play some fine tunes. The album cover is classic, the sound is tight, and the guy sings like a Dio/Dickinson combo.  The language barrier is a bit of a drag, but good music always prevails. I will be checking out more of their albums.

10 Days of Sabbath!

8: Into the Void

This song is heavy, heavy, heavy. The opening guitar riff is truly masterful and the band shines as a whole. It grinds along in a sludgetastic way that leaves you hypnotized. I have to wonder what Tony Iommi and the rest of the band were thinking while recording this unstoppable force of sound.

9: Megalomania

This album is completely different then previous Sabbath albums, but that is what makes it so awesome. As for this particular song, it is a spaced out jam. Starting off on a mental free fall, and then turning into something that strangely sounds like this.

10: It's Alright

Wow. How dare I pick a song off Technical Ecstasy. They say this album is a mish- mash of shit, but I generally enjoy some parts of it, and I find it refreshing that Bill Ward tries to be a sentimental kinda rocker. On a side note, Axl Rose ruins the song...Check Here!

Crash Course: Shannon Hoon

Shannon Hoon was the singer for the band Blind Melon. The band was popular from the early to mid-nineties.  Shannon Hoon had a soft and soothing voice and it brings back memories of being a teenager. The first two albums are wonderful and worth listening too. The music seems to fit rainy days quite well. Recommend songs: Soup, Changes, I Wonder, Tones of Home, and of course No Rain.

Shannon Hoon died October 21, 1995 from a drug overdose at the age of 28

Beer Me!

This is a recent gift my friend brought to me. Thank you! The beer has flavor and appeal. . I never thought a pink elephant good be so captivating, but I was wrong. The ABV is 8.5% which is respectable. Nothing ground breaking, but worth trying. Go ahead and touch the pink elephant I won't tell.

Crash Course: Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings is more rock then most people realize. Waylon started out playing bass for Buddy Holly, thus cementing his rock/country status. Waylon is the man that gave his seat to Buddy on that ever tragic night. He was an amazing singer in his own right, and well worth listening too. I prefer his older music (mid 60's) he has a fantastic voice, and shouldn't be missed! Recommended: The House Song, Nashville Rebel, Green River, Silver Stallion (The Highwaymen), Something's Wrong in California


Waylon Jennings died of complications from diabetes on Febuary 13, 2002 at the age of 64
