The Hi-Hat That Changed My Mind.
The first time I heard "Freak on a Leash," I turned it off. I had been playing drums for most of my life by then. I grew up on rock and metal, the kind of music where the singer sings, the guitars hit hard, and the song makes sense from the first verse to the last chorus. I knew what I liked, and I thought I knew what good music was supposed to sound like.

Thank you and goodnight
Yesterday saw the release of the film chronicling the back to the beginning concert , held last year in Birmingham. The concert was held so that Ozzy Osbourne could say one last goodbye, similarly there would be the last Black Sabbath concert with the 4 main members. Ozzy died, surrounded by family just 17 days later. In part due to having to cut back on his medication so that he could perform.

Green Park Memories and Holiday Melodies: Randy Edelman at Carnegie Hall
Autumn has a way of making even familiar places feel slightly different. A pathway walked a hundred times becomes somewhere to linger. Trees loosen their leaves, the afternoon light turns amber, and suddenly an ordinary park bench can bring back someone you haven’t thought about in years.

Time Stands Still: One More Night With Rush
“My life is slipping away I'm aging every day But even when I'm grey I'll still be grey my way” Hoping this would finally be the time I got to hear Rush’s 2112 suite live in its entirety, I put the album on as my wife and I made our way to Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena. When she asked when it had been released, I couldn’t answer, so I looked it up before we pulled out of the driveway: 1976.

My Exclusive Interview With Where We Sleep
In an era of whispered vocals, Where We Sleep's bold, confident voice is more important than ever—and her stripped-down look and minimal social media presence make it clear that she prefers substance over style. Her latest album, The Arsonist , is clean, sparse and burning with quiet intensity, like a bonfire crackling in the middle of the desert. As you read this interview, you'll gain a better understanding of how her background and influences shaped her work, and you might feel inspired to pick up a guitar and write an album of your own.

My relaxing songs
Songs that help me relax and to escape the world are ones that would work for almost no one else. I relax to the most aggressive songs around, I also went to concerts to relax to aggressive live bands till poor health stopped it. Even though I am getting old the music hasn't changed, in fact its probably become more extreme over the years.

Sinister Fate: A First‑Hand Look at Chicago’s Long‑Running Shock‑Rock Trio. Content Warning.
There’s a certain kind of band that doesn’t just play music — they survive it. They bleed into it. They build something out of the chaos life hands them and then scream it back into the world with amps turned up high enough to rattle the bones of anyone standing too close. That’s Sinister Fate.

A Twisted Night
“There's no room for the wannabees The has-beens or the bad” Some bands seem inseparable from members who define them but somehow survive after those members are gone. Queen immediately comes to mind, as it has successfully used the Queen+ format to continue touring the world, most recently with Adam Lambert. Rush surprised its rabid fan base this year by announcing a world tour with Anika Nilles at the rhythmic helm.
