Love their new record, High Road.

Bwahaha!

What's WMG?

It's no clown puke burst, but hey!

My dad designed the Wonder bread logo!

Loved that Riverdogs record.

Damn, Mike- you ARE talented- building high quality, boutique guitars AND cooking some kick ass stir fry in your wok... Ah, fok it...the teacher got me an F on spelling Mike, i LOVE WOKING as well, specially fried Dim Sums..so any time that you come to Quebec, let me know' Quebec! I'm in Kingston, ON. Not too far down the road. I'm in! If the ceiling has been lifted above those first 12. Which I really hope so. I'm shaking right now. Excitement for everyone involved, from those who have their quote to those who will enjoy the porn of the build process and the completed masterpieces and of course, especially for Mike. Hear hear! I'll be in Kingston Saturday! If you go to the Odds show at The Mansion, see ya there!

Congrats Mike, and thank you!

How do you keep your carpet so clean?

And damn quick I might add, 3 minutes from post to post. I'm bored at work. Is that OK?

Damn thread following people.

Who's Viv?

I loved Kiss, too.

I'm an "I can say more with one note than you can say with a hundred" believer, but I don't think Ozzy's that guy, not even close. Admiration, respect and all that, but there you go.

Still don't get it. Heavy processing, likely double tracked in post, not things I equate with top tier singers on a live video. I like the vocal, but just can't agree with the superlatives. Just showed it to my wife, who's a much harsher judge: "How did that guy ever get so famous? He's about as interesting as a bowl of milk." She can be a pill. :-)

I think this is mainly a semantic argument at this point. To say Ozzy was a great singer and Ray Gillen was not seems backward to me. I am not claiming fact, but my opinion. Ozzie is the perfect person when countering generic. His voice is clear, appealing, unique, and pitch perfect. I have yet to hear anyone that sounds like Ozzie, same with Jake and Viv, they all had distinctive style. So this is semantic, but I could probably find singers similar in tone and timbre to Gillen and few if any that sound like Ozzie. I guess you either love or hate Ozzie, but the dude has some pipes. has unique phrasing and melodies.and that perfect pitch sound is awesome. See how many Gillen singing melodies you have memorized vs Ozzie. Just want to make clear that I believe both those guys are good, but not at the top tier level. Jake and Vivian's bands might have been more successful if they had not been in their prior bands. What?!??!? Ozzy? Pipes? Perfect pitch? I'm not an Ozzy hater but I never thought I'd see those terms used to describe his singing!

I'm gonna go put on Slang on vinyl. Don't forget Riverdogs.

Bought the new Tesla and the new Night Ranger today. Enjoying them both.

All about Black Star Riders today!

New Glen Hughes, Jason Bonham, Andrew Watt project came out last week. I've listened to the whole thing a few times already:

G&L L2000. Threw it in the air at the end of a set. Didn't stick the landing.

Frank U had a lot to do with getting David's guitar started. What a story and photo essay! Cheers and thanks DB, and all the best to the crew.

Don't forget y'all, Thursday 4pm ET, gashouseradio.com. Cheers!

jake is suffering from inadequate prep in two documented instances now. He blew it on that metal show. I wonder if he even attempted a think through of his segments. he oversaw live show prep in perhaps a rushed fashion and made some bad choices (and I'm not suggesting that hiring the singer was necessarily one of them). Not ready for prime time, but certainly worth a listen,,and rooting for him. They should work in some beggars and thieves songs.
