So apparently, Denny’s is the hottest place to go in the punk scene nowadays. On select dates on this Winter’s Taste of Chaos tour, the bands afterwards are going to swing by and grab a grand slam with you at Denny’s. Dead serious. Unfortunately its not going to hit around me on the East Coast, [...]

Artist:
In typical music critic fashion, I'm going to say "forget what I said last time, this is the best band you don't know about". Parlor Mob be thy name. My initial reaction to Parlor Mob came about 6 months ago when I received a promo CD from Road Runner Records at my office from Roadrunner Records. [...]

METALLICA!! with The Sword and Machinehead @ the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on 1/31/09
-
Artist:
I have seen Metallica play Master of Puppets live. One step closer to being able to die in peace (if I was a Rangers fan in '94 I would already be able to. Too bad I'm not). This was my first time seeing Metallica, or as James put it, I was a "Metallica Virgin." No longer. [...]

The Inauguration Concert in DC was Probably Cool
As your Washington DC representative, I feel it was my responsibility to report on the 2009 Inauguration Concert that was being held at the Lincoln Memorial. I apologize - we slept in. We took our sweet ass time getting out of the house. We rode a packed Metro into DC only to find out that [...]

Metallica w/ The Sword & Machine Head 1/15/09, Washington D.C.
No inaugural traffic jam, no sub zero temperature and no angry parking attendant could prevent me from seeing Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” tour stop at the Verizon Center in the District of Columbia. The Verizon Center buzzed with an eager anticipation for Metallica’s first stop in the District since 1994. The show was my first Metallica [...]

Bass-in-a-Box from Dean
I said "box"… So I got a new toy recently: the Bass-in-a-Box from Dean. Basically it's a Walkman (remember those?) that you can plug your bass into so that you don't need an amp. It's got a quarter inch input, it clips to your pants, it's battery operated, and it comes with headphones. So when the [...]

Merry Christmas!

Album:
The first thing that I want to point out is, how close the word "Bagel" is to Gabel. All you gotta do is switch two letters. The title of this post was "Tom Bagel's 'Heart Burns' Review" for a while until I noticed it. Tom Gabel, the lead singer for one of my all-time favorite bands, [...]
