Brad Delson, guitarist for Linkin Park has the sort of guitar rig I’d have if I were a multimillionaire. PRS guitars into Marshall and Mesa Boogie heads. A mix of rack and analog effects are all activated via midi switching. My favourite thing about Brad Delson’s rig? The fact he has a complete duplicate rig [...]

Skinny Milk or Full Cream? Which produces the better Cafe Latte? This is the question I posed at a cafe recently. After receiving a frustratingly high number of skinny latte’s containing little to no foam I switched to full cream latte’s to see if it made a difference quality wise. At this stage the results [...]

Since I love music and guitars, thought I’d post a few of the Vulgar Display of Power columns that I’ve scanned from my Guitar World magazines. First up, Adam Dutkiewicz, guitarist for Killswitch Engage, as well as producer for bands such as Underoath and Parkway Drive. His setup is fairly simple. Guitar into amp. Caparison [...]

…yup, I’m trying to put together a proper website. It’s tough, I�ve got a lot of ideas, just limited by my skills. I’ve put the front page together (you can look at it here if your interested), it’s just taking a lot more time than I had budgeted for (note to self: investigate budgeting software), [...]

One of the local troops alerted me to this cracker of a news story. Hasselhoff to appear in a stage version of the Producers. The Hoff is a big fan of Mel Brooks apparently. Mel Brooks has also heaped some praise on the Hoff saying that the Hoff “has an incredible comedic timing, terrific musical [...]

     Bean Bag Boy and I watched Don’t Try This At Home – Steve-O?Video Vol.2 on DVD the other night. The fact even we felt juvenile watching it tells you all you need to know I’d say. We will probably never forget the scene in which a dude does a projectile [...]

Muscle Car Marathon will air Nov. 24 at 9am EST on Speedtv. That’s Muscle Cars people. Why am I telling you this? Well if I wrote Muscle Car Marathon Speedtv.com on my ‘muscle’ and post it on here, then I’ll get paid. I like getting paid, so it wasn’t a big deal for me to [...]

Yup, grappling with the tough issues. I’ve been watching Jericho since it started up on Channel 10 about 5 weeks ago now. The first few episodes got me in. The last couple of weeks though have let me down. It’s a diminishing returns thing. Last weeks episode was cornier than the corn field the whole [...]

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was all about Nascar racing. Until now, I never realised Talladega was a real place. Hey, US geography is not my strong point ok! I was looking through the pay per post oppurtunites and found one there from Speed TV, Automotive News. I clicked the link to see what [...]

I’ve been waiting for My Chemical Romance to release new music ever since I first played ‘Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge’. I found that CD to be as catchy as syphilus, and it’s still in heavy rotation in my cd stacker. ‘The Black Parade’ is the bands third full length release. ‘The Black Parade’ is [...]
