Rhythm track recorded live, vocals and lead guitars overdubbed. We recorded this on Audacity, through a 8-track Yamaha soundboard and a couple of mics we had laying around. Very DIY I guess you could say. I sing and play bass; I used my Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar going through my Carvin...

Okay, so Come is just one of those bands that is just incredibly dear to my heart. There's not much else I can say, besides dropping a link or two. I couldn't imagine them being mainstream... but they DEFINITELY deserved it.

Come -- Eleven:Eleven. I recommend EVERYBODY grabs a copy of this album and gives it a listen. They shoulda been famous...

I wear sunglasses onstage, especially outdoors. I think i have a problem where my eyes are more sensitive to light than they should be, but really i wear them because i look good in them. But i would probably never wear a hat, since i don't wear hats at all normally.

So lately i've been getting a craving for the fat, beefy tone of a Telecaster bass, and i'd love to buy one of the Modern Player ones, but the thing is, i'm on a budget, and i can't nearly afford one, so i figured the next best thing (that was a lot cheaper) would be a Squier-made one. I did...

Rush.

Wasn't it Jackal who had that record before you?

I know you guys see a lot (and i mean a lot) of threads like these, but i really need some advice on this. So i'm in a hard rock band, we're a trio, we play all originals, yadda yadda, drummer, guitarist, bassist/singer. Me and the drummer are in middle school, the guitarist is two years...

Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, Neil Peart, Tom Petty, and Roger Waters are my favorites.

Well if there's anyone who would survive a zombie apocalypse, it would be Lemmy.

Well it went really well. It took about half an hour to get the equipment set up, and when the party started, it took about 10 more minutes for the guitard to get there... no biggie, though, because we were only supposed to play for about an hour anyway, and the party was two hours long. When he...

Gig tomorrow at my school's first sockhop of the year. I'm excited; we'll be playing in front of almost the entire school, so about 600-700 kids. We've only ever played in front of groups of around 20 people before, so this is the type of exposure we really need. We wrote a song especially for...

Whats more awesome than Chris Squire? Chris Squire playing with Jimmy Paige. So i guess after John Bonham passed away Jimmy and Chris were living in the same area together and Jimmy would sometimes come over to Chris's place and help him record demoes because he was bored. Eventually they...

I have always admired Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue for his high stage presence; I'd say he actually has a bigger presence than their guitarist. I try to watch him during their live concerts and emulate him during shows. But in my main band i'm the lead singer, and I actually find it kind of...
