Ending March with a Bang! This is how it’s done, drive to San Diego’s premier Heavy metal Venue, Brick x Brick and watch Udo Dirkschnieder rock the house. The opening bands for tonight’s show were all at the top of their game. Alchemy, Helsott, Warpath and Elm Street kept the crowd entertained while we all […]
“Build it and they will come”! And they did to the tune of a sold out event. They came with water bottles, folding chairs and an excitement in anticipation of the day’s event. There I was, 8:30 a.m. camera in hand. I observed Andy Doty, the events creator, brain-child and Commander in Chief executing protocol […]
April 5th 2018 will always be remembered as the day John 5 and the Creatures blew the roof off of San Diego’s premier Rock Venue ‘Brick by Brick.’ It was a high energy non-stop show to be remembered. Opening the show were three SoCal bands RDG, Taz Taylor and Pet Shark. All three bands are […]

As luck would have it, I was asked again to review their […]
Iced Earth’s latest offering ‘Incorruptible’ tops my list to the age old question of what music would you take to a stranded island. This exceptional album is on Century Media Records and while not a concept album, all the songs come together to create a unique combination. The songwriting, lyrics and vocals are brilliant, with […]
“Thunderbolt” is the title of Saxon’s latest album. What’s in a name? “Thunderbolt!” Enough said! This is gritty, old-school metal, song after thumping, driving song, pure and simple. It is with pure joy that I got to listen to it over and over again. The guitar tone is on point, the rhythm section is driving, and […]
