Post- NAMM I enjoyed this follow up with guitarist Michael Ciravolo of Schecter guitars, now i know what's new is his album "Beauty Re-Envisioned" which is a totally cool newer and different compilation mix of what might've ended up on the cutting room floor ... and it's great, coming out this June! "Finding Beauty in Chaos" is one of the best records I've heard in the last year or so, with an incredible appearance by Tish Ciravolo, and an unbelievable song dedicated to Hurricane Katrina victims called "Un-natural Disaster"... look out for the videos they are amazing to see!

Whoa, it's too cool that drummer Derek Abrams is playing for Ministry on the album release and upcoming tour, but he also gets along well with bandmate Sin Quirin. So, 3 Headed Snake will also be graced with him in the drumming throne. Really a great player, it's a pleasure to watch and listen to this guy, he knows his stuff!
Rough Cutt, the Glam Metal band was formed in the early 80's w/ the awesome and breathtaking vocals of Paul Shortino ... the members have stepped in and out of the picture but briefly, they have remained mostly constant members and their songs are famous. Very well enjoyed music over the years is now available on iTunes, for those of you who have their Vinyl in your collection. According to Hager, their time touring with Ronnie James Dio was very special, and so was recording in the same studio with him; actually hearing the rough cutt of his first album Holy diver, too cool! He also loves to play around LA, with upcoming shows in April 2018 that you should look out for!
This bass player extraordinaire knows a lot about stuff that other people don't know! You wouldn't believe the hilarity of some of these songs, which were crafted with care by the Punk Rock group in the Huntington Beach part of the Ca. coast. Sure enough, the sound caught on in the nineties and became popular! I've heard his hobbies include bull riding, Amish cooking, and journeying to Iceland to be cool. He is also producing and writing for TV with shows on the History channel and others, ike "Ancient Aliens". Great works by Joe!

What's new at Schecter guitars is always very exciting. The musicians they represent all possess a unique model of their own which is of course, top- quality and custom made. All for sale so that all of you can have one like it. The bands they are best known for include Black Label Society, and their new line of Wylde guitars looks quite outstanding. They are responsible for the making of the Prince model which is what he is know for playing, too cool! So many awesome guitars like the Cheech and Chong, Sean Yseult White Zombie coffin-shaped classic. Halloween electric ... and so on. Daisy Rock guitars are especially for young ladies, and it was his wife who started the company. Great talk if you want to enjoy listening.
