10 Defining Jimi Hendrix Live Moments

It’s a legend… Please click the link below to read the full article. 10 Defining Jimi Hendrix Live Moments Matt Melis and Jordan Blum You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Dazed and Confused Book Author Melissa Maerz on the Film’s Enduring Mythology
Over the phone, his voice still sounds like Mitch Kramer. It’s 2020, though, and Wiley Wiggins long ago left behind his signature role from 1993’s Dazed and Confused, the shaggy, beloved comedy film. Life’s worked out better than OK for Wiggins: Now 44, he’s working on a career in video game design and resides in Los Angeles with his wife. Wiggins is at peace being forever associated with his role as Kramer, the semi-cool incoming freshman, and with Dazed, widely considered the most accurate onscreen portrayal of high school life. More than a few cinephiles, including Quentin Tarantino, consider Dazed one of the best films ever. Still, Wiggins tells SPIN that he was “completely ready to never talk about Dazed and Confused ever again” until journalist Melissa Maerz came along. He’s amon...
STEEL PANTHER’s SATCHEL Feels No Pressure To Write Songs To Get On The Radio
During an appearance on the latest episode of the “In The Trenches With Ryan Roxie” podcast, STEEL PANTHER guitarist Russ “Satchel” Parrish was asked if he can ever see his band transitioning into a more pop-influenced sound. He responded (see video below): “If you listen to our records, you can tell the radio’s never gonna play us. We made that choice a long time ago, and it’s a double-edged sword. “It’s even harder to get attention and to be heard as a new artist now than it was when we started, and we started more than 20 years ago, really,” he continued. “And that was still when you could sell records; now you can’t really sell records. So, really, just to get people to pay attention to you is a very, very difficul...

Reluctant Hero – KILLER BE KILLED
Supergroups oftentimes grab headlines because they’re obviously enticing — on paper, anyway. But the potential of what could be, more often than not, falls short of the mark for a variety of reasons. Back in 2014, however, KILLER BE KILLED broke that mold with its self-titled debut album by hitting the high watermarks of what the component members have reached creatively with their separate, main outfits. The collective now returns with an equally impressive sophomore effort: “Reluctant Hero”. Expectations are inevitably high when discussing a band that boasts Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, ex-SEPULTURA), MASTODON‘s Troy Sanders and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN‘s Greg Puciato to its name. If that veritable list of “who’s who” in hea...
