March of the Drums

Drum Solos

Now, i'm not a drummer but i have stumbled across a few amazing drumming videos and i must say that drums is really exciting when you have a really complex beat but it takes great skill to create something so crazy as some of the videos i will post up here.
These videos just show how the guy who is hidden behind a big drum set, this is how they make themselves heard.
Alot of drum solos are either fast and require alot of stamina to play, like Joey Jordison from Slipknot, or you have bands that give a little tribal sound, like the drummers from GodSmack or Sepultura/Soulfly or anything you can imagine!
I'll show you 3 drumming videos which have actually made me want to buy a drum kit.......but i just dont have enough room.

First, GodSmacks drummer and vocalist both on drum kits performing a 7 minute drum battle.

Secondly, a drummer from one of my favorite bands and also a well known metal musician, Joey Jordison performing a Drum solo, taken from the bands Disasterpieces DVD.

Next, just something i came across one day which i just think is really funny but also amazing! This is how you sell a product........watch and see.

Favorite Album

MACHINE HEAD

On March 27, 2007 Machine Head released its 6th Studio album "The Blackening" is possibly one of the greatest Metal albums of all time, produced by the bands very own Frontman Robb Flynn.With songs lasting nearly 10 minutes each, crazy dueling guitar solo's, insane machine gun like drumming and ripping vocals, and the most original heaviest riffs since the 80's thrash metal scene. With the Current music scene being mostly interested in people singing about their relationship break ups and really dull stuff in life Machine Head came out with an album that shouts out the problems with the World, nothing but pure aggression from this album.

With only 8 songs on the album they cemented there place in the world as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. I bought this album when it came out and the opening 10 minute track just blew me away and i would recommend this album to anyone who wants to get out some aggression when they hear music.
The albums single, Aesthetics of Hate which is a fight against the man who made fun of Dimebag Darrels career as a metal guitarist. Machine Head clearly sent there message to that man and showed how good there guitar skills are.

This album has won awards such as Metal Hammers:Best Album, Kerrang: Best Album and the band also won Kerrang:Hard Rock Hero and Metal Hammers:Golden God Awards.

I saw Machine Head back in June in Glasgow being supported by Lamb of God and Chimaira, and that was a really life changing experience, the whole building was shaking, the circle pit during the bands classic track "Davidian" was huge!!!! and i will be going to the Black Crusade in November to see them again.

Here is the single from "The Blackening" Aesthetics of Hate

Work....Work....Work

After a long weekend of working i had to go into college the next day.......feeling really tired and slightly hungover from the weekend i was not in the mood for anything, but got home and remember i had a day off so was chuffed :) then realised i had lots of homework, but finished it all now so i can now relax and think of something to do......hmmmm..

So, been trying to think of ways to keep this blog updated without saying really dumb stuff and end up not bothering blogging anymore!
...and i found a solution.....i'm a guitar player and i have started writing my own stuff...so why dont i let people know whats going on here! so as it is....i have all the equipment ready and i will start recording on the Friday 21st of September,.......you never know.....something good and exciting might come out of all this!

Bye people!

As you may now i am indeed a guitar player!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!! and i have just gotten myself a new guitar and amplifier.
A Jack Daniels Acoustic guitar which is really really nice and sounds amazing playing covers from such bands as Tenacious D, Pink Floyd, Metallica, or any band that may have an acoustic track.

Class Concert

Bob Marley-Reggae Legend

After watching two of Bob Marley's live performances, "Get up Stand up" and "No Woman No Cry", Bob Marley shows why he was known as a God to the music world, creating his own way of expressing his feelings through his nations music style, Reggae. He stands infront of the crowd and closes his eyes whilst he sings...is this because he is scared at looking at the crowd...or is it because when he closes his eyes it takes him to a different place when he hears his own lyrics and music being played.
The crowd responds well to his concert joining in with singing and making the show seem like a "once in a lifetime" moment
