How do you end the year? You do an interview on the radio, of course! But not just any radio show. You do THE METAL MELTDOWN w/The Metal Mistress! It’s always a blast hanging at her studio, chomping on pizza and talking about the year that was. Was great seeing a lot of people popContinue reading “LAST BLOG OF 2022”

I am typing this a few hours before another Christmas comes to a close. Soon the tree will be put to the curb, the lights and ornaments stored in the attic until next year. And don’t blink, the next Christmas will be here before you know it. But 2022 ain’t over yet! This Wednesday nightContinue reading “IN THE HOME STRETCH”

After learning the secret handshake, wearing a fez and long robe, and doing the Hucklebuck…I am pleased to announce that Attacker bassist Brian Smith is on board for the next album and future live shows! Early Xmas for me! As you can see in the above pic, drummer Mike Sabatini (also of Attacker; he startedContinue reading “SECRET HANDSHAKE…”

So without realizing it, this is blog #100. Whodathunkit? Certainly not me. Well, it’s only fitting since the topic I am going to write about will be one of raw emotions and unfiltered feelings. Pretty much how my life has always been… I hit a brick wall last weekend (figuratively speaking) and while I willContinue reading “MY 100TH BLOG?!”

I waited a couple of days to talk about last Sunday’s rehearsal. I know some of you are thinking “It’s rehearsal, what’s so exciting?” I’ll tell you… Mike and I worked on another new song, and so far this was the fastest a song came together! No, it’s not THE fastest song (that belongs toContinue reading “WAITED A COUPLE OF DAYS”

Well here we are, the end of the year. Yes, it’s early December but I say this every thing: “Where did the year go?” We all say that, right? Anyway… This has been one hell of a year for me. Started off with doing some shows with the cover band Naked Glory, and while thoseContinue reading “TYPICAL YEAR-END ROUNDUP”

Had yet another rollicking rehearsal today w/Mike at his studio (Bandmother Recording) and while we didn’t work on any more new songs (yet!), the two we went over are really coming together nicely. Nicely? In metal?! Despite today being rainy and blah, once we played the first tune, we got lost in the music. AndContinue reading “RAMPING THINGS UP”

Another rehearsal with Mike in the books. And yes, a calico buddy stopped by to visit before we began work. Is there enough coffee?! Worked on the first song we did and then tore into a new one. And I mean TORE! WOW! This is quite possibly the fastest song I ever wrote! The guitar-onlyContinue reading “IS THERE ENOUGH COFFEE?”

Welcome to 53. Holy crap… I am proud to advance in age. It’s better than the alternative. Yesterday I moved up a notch, closer to reaching the speed limit. And that’s sweet to me. Here’s the kicker: The older I get, the more ambitious the music gets. You’d think I’d be adventurous when I wasContinue reading “THIS IS 53…”

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you again. But when I said there would be some interesting twists and turns pertaining to my next album, did you think I was kidding? I hope not! Yes, that is Plasmatics drummer TC Tolliver in the picture with yours truly. He will be guesting on one newContinue reading ““IT NEEDS TO BE HEAVY!””
