I am constantly searching for a good, local industrial hard rock band. It’s been a long search. Most things border too much on dancey/techno or go too light. When I came across Vin Rouge, I got really excited. Psychedelic/Industrial/Rock? Yes, please. The few tracks up on MySpace had me a bit confused, though. There was a tad industrial in there, and then there was a track that was decidedly not. I asked them how they came up with their name in my monthly question, and was pleased with a Lynch reference. It was time to see them live. Filed under: Live and In The Flesh Comments: None |

I’m surprised that he’s opening the door on his personal life a bit. Dinner with dad? This guy knows how to fuel the fire. Oodles of female fans were just driven a little more mad. Filed under: Nine Inch Nails Comments: None |

The old MTV. The one that was such a part of making me love music. I’d like them to start with fixing the MTV VMAs, and after reading this article on the host, Russel Brand, I have a little hope. My fingers are crossed, but I will not hold my breath. Filed under: Rock in the News Comments: None |

You must see them before you die, this is an order! Theses are bands that IMHO are the best bang for your buck. I have seen/will see them multiple times and they never get old, always leave you satisfied and wanting more. I would adjust my schedule around their shows any day, and you should, too. 1. NIN (will have seen 7 times by next month) Intense. Dark. Passionate. 2. The Dillinger Escape Plan (once) Frantic. In your face. Violent. Filed under: Top 5 Comments: 1 Comment |

Otep endlessly posted myspace bulletins urging her followers to register, and it paid off. She played at tonight’s Democratic National convention, where she is sure to be pissed off at that crowd for not getting into it. Filed under: Rock in the News Comments: 5 Comments |

Things I love about festivals: 1. The need for a mission: Save the Environment! Eat organic! Save energy! Register to vote! Safe sex! Things I hate about festivals: 1. Everything except see above. We’re not even going to talk about how I got sick and missed Radiohead on Friday. Instead, we’ll start with Saturday at 5pm, when I am walking down one of Golden Gate Parks labyrinthian streets, wondering if I am going to reach an entrance. Besides a few unlabeled barricades, there wasn’t any indication that a festival was even going on in the depth’s of the park. Not one sign. As I’m walking, the street is littered with hoodlums and vagrants, having been kicked out of the park they were left to pester the concert goers. Many were jumping the fence into the festival, and I watched my $255 ticket price degrade with each one of them. Filed under: Live and In The Flesh Comments: 3 Comments |

Less than two weeks after claiming the US Air Guitar Championship, Hot Lixx Hulahan has been crowned the World Air Guitar Champion. Watch this video for Bjorn Turoque’s behind the scenes footage of the competition. Hot Lixx, a 2 time US Champion, takes the 2nd ever World title for the US. C-Diddy won in the US’s inaugural year in the 2003 competition, as documented in Air Guitar Nation. Perhaps I should go check out his real guitar skills in one of his bands- Rocket Queens (G ‘n R tribute band!) or Love Songs… Filed under: Just Announced Comments: None |

It’s alright. I’m not in love with it. There no doubt that it feels ‘Metallica’, but it also feels kinda dated. Bring on the heavier stuff, ‘tallica. Filed under: Just Announced Comments: 2 Comments |

Last year I had a lot of fun at the Guitar Hero Championship. This year, the newly rebranded (ugh, Activision) Guitar Superstar competition will take place on September 13 once again at Great American. This year’s host will be the guitarist for The Police, Andy Summers. Judges include repeats from last year- Joe Satriani and Elliott Easton from The Cars. New judges will be Steve Vai and George Lynch from Dokken. Rounding out the panel will be last year’s host, and HRC fave, Brendon Small- creator of Metalocalypse. See you there.
