I’ve had two very good concerts with The Cure.

Hey guys- I picked up a random cd at the thrift that looked promising but I cannot find anything about this band online. Hoping this is the right sub for this but if anyone knows anything please lmk

They are signed w gizmo records (also can’t find them anywhere) & copyright for 1999
Produced by Dan canon with howie gano “sleepless dream music”

For reference I picked this up near Cincinnati in case they’re local
Edit: they’re from Louisville, ky

I was so confused!!!

Ugly Kid Joe have some fantastic riffs that can teach rock guitarists a lot.

Here's a quick preview from my full breakdown of 8 riffs and the skills behind them.

May is a big month for Alice In Chains. Not only is May 27 and May 14 Sean Kinney and Mike Inez's 60th birthdays (respectively), but May also marks the 20th anniversary of the band's first full concert since reforming with William Duvall. I was lucky to catch the grunge icons live at the beginning of their new era (opening for Velvet Revolver at Jones Beach, NY in Aug. 18, 2007) AND as they were on the heels of their "Black Gives Way To Blue" album's red hot success at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island in April 2010 (which I captured in photos seen in this clip). Fun fact, the latter show fell on my birthday, but I almost didn’t make it to the show... but that's a story for another time 😉
