I had a pleasant surprise this week. Ella over at Orange Amps sent me an email saying the new Super Crush 100 is ready to be shipped to my house. Well alrighty then!! UPS brought it to the house Friday night but I didn’t get to play with it until Saturday. Yes I was pained.Continue reading “FIRST WEEKEND WITH NEW AMP HEAD”

Wow, it’s been 19 days since I typed a blog. Did you miss me? Don’t answer that. This year is starting off on some good notes for sure. As you see above, my song “Force Quit” debuted at #3 on Banks Radio in Australia! Took a while to get moving over there but it finallyContinue reading “19 DAYS LATER…”

Here we are, a couple of week into the new year, and it’s been brutally cold in New Jersey. Not as cold as some parts of Canada, but enough to make me annoyed! At least playing in front of a loud amp keeps me warm. We had two rehearsals so far this year, and theyContinue reading “IT’S (ALMOST) LIVE!”

Here we are, one week into 2022 and things are already weird. Well, they always were but now it seems like we’re entering the Twilight Zone. Where’s Rod Serling? Anyway, some of you may roll your eyes when I get excited about new gear but I have to toot Orange Amplifers’ horn as always. BackContinue reading “NEW YEAR, NEW TOYS!”

Nice way to end 2021 with my album MOOD SWINGS coming in at #4 in Denmark! Also heard Jerry Declet at Metallicave (Cranium Radio) say that this album is in his top 3, along with the bands Nuse and Cassius King. I feel vindicated! But I also feel grateful that people like YOU made thisContinue reading “A HIT IN DENMARK!”

While these are nice… And these are cool too… This is most important… Let’s hope 2022 is an improvement over the past couple of years!

Well, normally I would be heading to Jersey City for a rehearsal but instead, I headed straight home after giving a lesson. Such a jarring feeling! It’s nice to have the two-week break before rehearsals commence on January 2nd. It’s also equally as nice to have people ask “So when you are playing shows?” IContinue reading “YEAR-END WRAP-UP”

And there you have it…a brief clip of today’s rehearsal, the last one for 2021. Decided to film a bit of “Stranded On Pluto” from MOOD SWINGS, and of course the Attacker rhythm section of Mike Sabatini (drums) and Brian Smith (bass) are, to put it mildly, “killing it”. We are going to resume rehearsalsContinue reading “LAST REHEARSAL OF 2021”

You are watching a teaser clip of the song “Force Quit” from the new cd MOOD SWINGS featuring the rhythm section of NJ metal band Attacker: drummer Mike Sabatini and bassist Brian Smith! We have been rehearsing very hard (but having SO much fun at the same time!) I asked if we could film aContinue reading “SNEAK PEEK AT LIVE BAND”

Finally got around to taking a group portrait featuring all eight of my studio albums. Is eight enough? Nah. Hard to believe that my first cd TWISTED METAL was done way back in 2003. And here I am, promoting MOOD SWINGS, which came out August 25 this year. I imagined back in 2003 that maybeContinue reading “EIGHT IS ENOUGH?”
