I made a slight error in judgment but in a good way last week. I erroneously said that my "tour" was on hold until July 27. Yesterday changed that. Received a text from the singer of Evolution who asked "Can you fill in on 7.7 at this golf course in Wayne?" Okay so much for my hiatus ;) But I'm always glad when any cover band asks me to fill in, even if it's VERY last-minute. So, yes, I played wit... » Continue Reading

Everyone knows that I joke about "touring" (but I really did a tour in 2014 with TM Stevens!) so obviously I am talking about the recent wave of gigs I did over these past three weekends. My hair and fingers need a break :) Last night I got to play with the cover band Rock Hard at Bardi's, third time there (for me) and it was INSANELY GREAT!! I am not kidding, the vibes were great, the band sounde... » Continue Reading

This past Friday June 21, I filled in on guitar once again for my friend's band Evolution. What made this gig extra cool was the addition of drummer James Bruno! He's such a solid drummer, and when we play together, it's very tight! As a guitarist, I need that. Most guitarists listen to only themselves. The gig was at Westside Tavern in Ridgefield Park, and while the crowd was SUPER thin (12 peopl... » Continue Reading

So I was asked this morning by my friend Eve of the cover band Evolution if I could do a gig next Friday June 21. Hell yes! Now I have THREE gigs this month WHEW!! Glad I stocked up on new strings.

My last blog was 15 days ago? I am seriously slacking! But when you have nothing new to report, you don't say anything. Now I do! I did a Q&A last Wed with DJ Metal Mistress on The Metal Meltdown. Unlike shows in the past, this was not a typical interview session where I hawked new music or whatever. Though I did mention the June 28 gig with Rock Hard, this was all about shredding guitar live on t... » Continue Reading

For once, I have no news to report. Isn't that something? Feels good actually. Gets exhausting trying to promote myself and whatnot. I am still writing new demos, but obviously not in any rush to record. Not for a long while. I'm still burned out from the newest album that hardly got any love. That was pretty soul-crushing. It happens. But fear not, I will return with something in maybe 3-5 years.... » Continue Reading

Ah good ol' Motley Crue...they know how to stir up drama and controversy, right? They released a new song and people are divided but mostly saying "nay" to it. Of course, one thing I hear is "It's HEAVY!" But that doesn't mean it's good. As Roger Glover of Deep Purple once said, "Heavy isn't about volume, it's about attitude." You can have a ballad be heavy because of its sentiment (as long as it'... » Continue Reading

Caline Devilfish Chorus Delay Pedal Demo (youtube.com) Yep, I had to get another pedal. Why? To make a short story long... I redid my Behemoth board on Monday and faced a crisis: nine pedals but eight plugs with the daisy chain?! GASP! I thought to myself "Self, find a pedal with both chorus and delay on it." I did!! Caline makes a pedal called Devilfish and it's a dual chorus/analog del » Continue Reading

Caline Eagle Eye Boost Pedal Demo (youtube.com) The first clip is for the Caline Eagle Eye Boost pedal, which I received on Friday. Very simple layout, solidly built, and has a cool Mode feature where you can dial in any of six different tone settings depending on the room you're playing. Very smart! Caline Green Mamba OD pedal demo ( » Continue Reading

THIS JUST IN: ROCK HARD will be performing once again at Bardi's Grill (Pequannock, NJ) on Friday June 28th, start time 9:30pm! We played there on March 8 and the place was packed!! The band rocked out too (yes we rocked hard). Added two songs to that show's set list from White Zombie and Jimi Hendrix. Who knows what we'll do for this gig but rest assured, your eyes might widen and your neck will ... » Continue Reading
