I interviewed Iommi once and he was really proud of those records and spoke really kindly of Tony Martin. I guess it depends on what mood you catch him in.

That’s such a hard question. I love them both particularly Justice, which in a way felt more like the teen-nerd angst I was growing through at the time I heard the album. Puppets was released when I was 8 and I didn’t quite have access to metal yet, so I heard that when it already sounded a bit date...

…does my fkn head in. Oh did you hear about the obscure Sunset Strip band Glittered Puma Dick, how they were best friends when they made JSYE but were barely talking to each other when they recorded AUBT for the UQHD record, and then Fizzy left to do the solo album OOTH? I’m a busy man, I’m trying t...

Well even in the recent Kerry King interview he said he could see it happening for selected shows. It was right there but everyone got stuck on the ‘He hates the drummer’ and ‘He hasn’t talked to the singer in 5 years.” And there’s no reason for Kerry to speak to Tom until the first rehearsal.

Not one leftist can say they would condemn violence against a trump supporter.

I would. They don’t need violence, just to be grabbed by the shoulders and shaken until they snap out of their delusion that that guy is anything but a grifter.

Or how about Kelly Nickels coming out of retirement to join Riley's LA Guns? Steve Riley passed away last year. RIP! Will the band continue?

Yeah they’ve already played without him since his death. I’m curious to see how far they take this.

So I do one or two shifts a week at the ticket booth at a music venue for a lil extra money. I have this thing where if I eat bolognese, my farts just smell like bolognese. Not even a trace of fart. Not sure why, maybe medical science should study me. Anyway I had bolognese before my shift one night...

Dude always seems to play major scales over minor riffs in a way that says ‘I’m not doing some kind of thought-out modal shit, this is just the only scale shape I know.’

Not entirely sure Kirk has the kind of focus to do this kind of thing. Dave gave this a really decent stab.

What a sad old man who looks like a cartoon turtle.

Chicken casserole, Bleu cheese dressing on the salad, mozzarella sticks on the side, start with a couple Blue Moons, graduate to the Jack & Cokes.

Did Roth do Sensible Shoes? No. Co-headlining meant short sets so the only new songs he was playing were the title cut and Tell the Truth, which had both already came and went from the charts. 2 things screwed Roth - going to Europe 1st, and losing Becker to ALS. Without a hotshot guitar player, he...

Dude has a point. They could easily have had him show up in a platform in a replica of some KISS video outfit or other to play a solo on, like, Unholy or something, then spotlight off and back to just the 4 guys again, no interrupting the flow of the show to make it feel like a parade of alumni or w...

Surprised to see Satriani and Sheehan mentioned as jerks. Had nothing but great interactions with those guys. Paul Stanley was really friendly, excited to meet my then-boss who’s a guitar industry legend. Alex Skolnick, Vernon Reid, both great guys, very intelligent and well read but also funny. Ton...

People seem to forget that Epstein was an influential investor - who used his money and access to do creepy stuff in private. Not everyone on that list knew what he was up to. But some definitely did. What’s gonna be difficult is getting a population that is addicted to conspiracy theories to unders...

I’ve spent a lot of time with Duff through work and he’s the nicest dude to everyone whether he’s in public or one-on-one. Just absolutely lovely guy. Worked with Mustaine and he was great, really respectful and asked a lot of questions, deferred to other peoples’ knowledge and experience. Yeah I kn...

That sounds like something someone would demand to be published before he’ll let some hostages go.

I was there too, loved it. The band was so tight and performed with a lot of humour and fun. The most I’ve enjoyed myself at a concert in years. So glad I finally got to see them.

Ahahaha I’d forgotten about that.

America kinda shocked me with how many rules there are, for a county that claims freedom. Hand over your credit card to sit at a bar, show your ID to pay for a bottle of water at CVS, you can only park here for 30 minutes a day otherwise it’s the death penalty, cross the road here and a cop will get...

Americans need to chill the fuck out.

Yeah that's fucked. Looks like the other guitarist started his harmony on the wrong note and couldn't find it. People were shitting on Ace for fucking this up but if you watch the hands it's clearly the other guy. Aren’t you the guy that shreds with Satch and Vai, and you can’t tell that Ace is off...

I'm still around but I tend to lurk until I have some pompous bullshit to say.

If an Australian believes something batshit-crazy, even they themselves are aware that it's just an opinion and we can all tell each other we're full of shit and move on with our lives Does the name Pauline Hanson ring any bells? Well having grown up with conservative parents, one of whom even vote...

I just spent ten minutes or so on the Conservative subreddit. They just straight up don’t believe in any of it. No quid pro quo. No witness tampering. No malfeasance of any kind. They just straight up don’t fucking believe a word of it. They’re not embarrassed because they’re too stupid to be. I di...

Cheers folks! Brilliant guitar. Looking forward to wearing my fingers down to stumps on this guitar.

Just picked this up from NAMM. Buddy Blaze 7-string prototype #1. Floyd Rose 7, DiMarzio Crunch Lab and LiquiFire pickups. The neck is pitched back slightly so you can pull up on the bar without requiring a big rout behind the bridge. The neck is very comfortable, not too thin, not too fat, and beau...
