    On the Death of Music: A Dissertation

    This has been the busiest year in musical performance since I started doing this professionally, back around 2004. I was walking down the street last Sunday and passed two backyard shows - one featured a mariachi band, and the other, a reggae band - and a block party which had a brass band...

    !! Kenny G plays Experimental Metal !!

    First of all, wow? Really odd. The band is Imperial Triumphant, and they are absolutely extreme experimental/blackened/death, but also peripherally in the jazz world; the drummer plays with Felix Pastorius and Mike Bendy. But, this is an ODD collab with Kenny G, and he has gone up quite a few...

    Today is the 50 year Anniversary of Hendrix’s Death

    It’s hard to believe it’s been 50 years, but on September 18, 1970 we lost James Marshall Hendrix. I grew up in the 80s and valued clean, technical playing. I’ll admit it took a while for me to get into Hendrix. As an ignorant teenager, I’d make comments about how sloppily he played. But I...

    Have you ever suffered a loss so signifigant it made you quit playing?

    I lost my father July 1 and haven't touched my basses except to put them into a new gigbag I got for a birthday present, since then. He was such a musical influence in my life and now that influence is gone forever. He sang and played the trombone and encouraged me to play saxophone and guitar...

    Adjusting ourselves to death? Is modern hardware over done?

    Some of you might think I'm on the wrong forum with this question, but I thought this was still the best place given than most of us are pretty au fait with set ups as well as building. Anyway getting to the point... I guess my question is this... Is modern hardware too adjustable? I ask this...

    The death of jamming

    I have another (humorous) thread going about jam bands. On a more serious note, I've been running jams for years, and probably always will. I'm saddened that so many people have lost the spirit of true jamming- Improvisation, and spontaneity. Every week I end up with a bunch of GREAT players who...

    Death From Above style Distortion tone in a Pedal

    Beat to Death Songs That You Still Love to Play

    Inspired by this thread: Songs you'd rather not. What songs are absolutely beat to death, that everyone else dreads when they have to play them, but you still love it? For me, it’s any Motown or Stax hit. Yes, Mustang Sally included. I still genuinely enjoy that stuff. Others for me would be...

    Considering an Ibanez 6-string for death metal (34" vs 35" content)

    First off, hope the new year is treating you all well so far! Here's my deal - I play in a melodic death metal band, using a modded Ibanez SR505 tuned up to drop C (I use the high Bb for solo licks in a band with 3 guitars, so call us unconventional), and a Spector Legend 6 in drop G...

    Grinding Death, a la Repulsion (ESP Horizon II and Kemper on this track)

    A little touching up, but I played this from end to end, and I'm real proud of it. I also played the drums, guitar and sang on this track. The genre is grinding death. EDIT: Hopefully this mix is better.

    Death of a music venue

    Sad news today in the punk/hardcore/rock/metal/whatever Twin Cities music scene: Triple Rock Social Club is closing.

    venues going rock, the death jam bands and country?

    kind of an interesting thing I've noticed in eastern NC. I'm seeing more and more venues starting to get away from jam bands, cover bands, and country bands. Which used to be pretty popular in the area. I don't know if it's an issue of over saturation of those types of bands or lack of people...
