i remember seeing Blink 182 on SNL and they have all of their Fender stuff out and a whole backline of Fender amps... but then they showed a view from behind, and all the heads were empty 5 sided boxes with open backs, and the most inward "amp box" had a Marshall head facing backwards in ...

I am just finishing a degree at PSU and was going over some of my student aid paper work yesterday, so I have some numbers for you... At PSU University Park: B.S. in Industrial Engineering requires a minimum of 129 credits The new figures for 08 and 09 come out this month but for last year the total...

George Powell from State College... Or anyone that works for him. Has he ever done the house gig at The Brewery? Last time I was there, there was this long-haired guy who had a slammin' mix. The band was pretty "meh," but the mix destroyed! the guy from the brewery is pretty damned good i...

I had a girl come up on the stage at Glenn's Place the last time we played there and grabbed my sticks and said "Can I play the drums now?" ? That happened to me once... So... I asked her what was in it for me??? She said whatever I wanted!!! Our drummer was pissed off at me for weeks :ro...

Comfirmed. Bad thing is that he has to work and can't go to Chucky Cheese.

I will be at the Chucky Cheese dump after work tonight though around 8 !!!

I usually celebrate Feb 28th and Mar 1st... These years with the 29th suck because I only get one day. Legally they usally go with March 1st as being my "official" birthday on non leap years.

Didn't Warrant do a tattoo song? Not sure...

My favorite time of the year for shows in SC is the summer... I love the crowds, not excessively packed like during the school year or insane like football season, but there is definitely sill a draw... My wallet and girlfriend however prefer the football season income! All I was saying was that it'...

It's 2007 now and I think that's where the frustration comes in. In 2 years alot has changed...Where's the crowbar? It's a dance club. What are the most packed bars in state college? Dance clubs... So for 2007, it may get the best DJ scene but I doubt it's going to get anything in regards to bands....

You guys should post some pics of the stuff that you have made... I have never built any guitars or amps or anything before but it seems like a lot of peole around here do, and do a good job too! Show it off!!!

...and I try to take a picture every time

AGREED!!!

I think that it is just a normal part of the show in State College... Its acceptable behavior, and hey, I like it!

John always had time and always said hi. Have you ever been confronted, during your break, by that one VERY drunk guy that wants to talk to you about how good your playing. You try and blow them off, JOhn always talked to them..... DUnk What a great way to be remembered... Some people are just plai...

Thanks guys!!! In my drunken and excited state last night I forgot to mention the most important part of the whole post... ARE THERE ANY BANDS OR PEOPLE ON HERE GOING TO SXSW??? We know that Til December (formerly Backstreet Law) is going and have made contact with a band from Boston that will be tr...

This was passed on to me today as is: The Centre Daily Times ( www.centredaily.com) State College/ Penn State's Newspaper (circulation approx. 80,000) is currently accepting CDs from Pennsylvania bands for review in their Weekender publication. The Weekender is part of the paper on Fridays and is al...

There's a music store up in Williamsport called K&S (they have another store in Harrisburg too) that is inside of an old church. I used to go to an after-hours club in Nashville that used to be a large church right in midtown. It was simply called "The Church" At first it seemed a bit...

Almost forgot... If you actually do want a wall between the band and the audience book a show at the Wilderness in New Lancaster Valley... Interesting stage set-up for sure!!!

Floor monitors act as a good barrier, but in ears are even better. When some drunk walks up to me and asks me to play some cliche classic rock song, I just yell "I can't hear you". ABSOLUTELY!!! You can also just point to your ear and shake your head too... Even though you can actually he...

I personally am in on this 100% and I'm sure that Lowjack will be interested in doing anything possible band-wise to support our troops!!!

I always thought it was cool in a drop tuning to play riffs over top of myself... For example, if there is a spot where there is a big open D or C (whatever your tuning) like in a lot of Chevelle, Seether, etc... play the chord as smooth as possible so that you get good sustain, and then reach over ...

I only posted my warning about Pegasus with regard to what happened with Badwrench/Wrench/Stept On years ago. Also, when I was with Gin & Juice, we played Four Dees all summer long, because Bob wouldn't let Backstreet Law away from Florida to play their bookings at The Dees. We played a whole s...
