ROCKPAGE

When Stept on was negotiating a deal with McGathy Productions in NYC many moons ago, I think we were offered about 2 cents on every cd we would have sold if we were signed. Everything else went to pay back potential producers, recording costs, equipment rentals, and any other expense that was put in...

I actually like what I've heard so far. I try to separate the music from the individual. There's a ton of messed up musicians out there, but a good song is a good song and from what I've heard Axl, (as messed up as he is) is still capable of writing good songs.

Thanks a shitload!

I was offered an endorsement by Saluda cymbals!!! Thanks to ToonaRockGuy (Kevin) for introducing me to these bad-ass cymbals.

These cymbals sound amazing and I'm pumped to be proudly endorsed!

Can't wait to get my first set!

If at all possible, check out Dr. Harvey at Blair Orthopedics. He was my surgeon and did a fantastic job. I haven't felt better in years, but, don't think the pain will completely go away forever after surgery because it doesn't BUT you will feel 100 times better than you do now....and fyi, the long...

THE SHINING IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER.

Congrats fellas! Frankie's an old friend of mine and he kicks ass at what he does, can't wait to see him back in the scene!

I am speechless! JP if there is ANYTHING I or Bad Daze can do please let me know. All I can say is whatever you need man, don't be afraid to ask.

Lars once was quoted saying that AIC was the Sabbath of the 90's - nuff said! I agree, I never lumped them into that grunge thing, they were way more talented than that.

It's all good bro. Wouldn't it be cool though if the new shit did just destroy? It would be cool to see a band like that on top again instead of some of the other stuff coming out. They were the real deal, great vocals, great musicianship and excellent songwriting. You don't get that kind of total p...

To metalchurch, I agree. (To an extent) It's all good man, and I'm not on here to argue. These guys are my over all fav. band so I get a bit emotional about it.

Not on here to argue though, you know what they say about opinions......

Dave, no harm no foul man, although not thrilled even Layne's mother agrees that they have right to go on. I asked her opinion and she stated that starting over would just be too expensive now a days, with logo's merch, trademarks, etc. Not to mention the uphill struggle in a wrecked industry. (as y...

I should have known it wouldn't take long for this to get ugly. If he suffered from sheer stupidity he wouldn't have written such good music, sold millions of albums, or created nationally reconized art.

He suffered from addiction. That has nothing to do with intellect.

RIP - Layne Staley.

Alice In Chains is my favorite band period. Layne's mom and I email each other quite often. BUT, perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this is kind of wrong. Cantrell, Inez, and Kinney are amazing musicians but it was Layne's unique voice, lyrics, charisma (?) and real life pain that made (and unfortu...

A very huge thanks goes out to Rob and the boys for offering me the position! As everyone knows - class act guys and great musicians! I'm very pumped and proud to be a part of it.

Thanks to everyone who posted all the kind words on here! It IS much appreciated.

Let's kick some ass!

Nothing new will be on the disk, just the original Lonely album by the original line-up. As far as any shows, I honestly dont know, we'll have to wait and see.

To lynch1 - Thanks for the kind words man, nice to hear people appreciated our stuff! Hard to believe its pushing 10yrs since we formed Wrench and 8yrs since we released the Lonely album!

To any old fans interested, please feel free to check out our new myspace address shown below. To celebrate the 10yr. anniversary since the formation of WRENCH (which later was changed to Stept On) we are preparing to re-issue the "Lonely" cd for sale on the myspace soon. Keep checking.

Browsing the internet I came across and email address for Layne Staley's(Alice in Chains late singer) mom Nancy. Being a huge Alice fan and Layne being my all time favorite singer I shot an email expressing my appreciation for Layne's work and that I named my son Conner Layne. Not thinking I'd ever ...

Nah Todd, I'm really excited to start something new! MTP ran it's course and now it's time to move on. All options are open now! (Wait til you hear these new songs!) P.S. - Thanks for being part of it man, you brought a lot to the table for us!!

After 2 plus yrs, My Turning Point has decided to call it quits. I wanna give a thanks to all band members past and present, MTP fans, and all the great club owners we have worked with. It was a lot of fun! As for me, I'm not done yet! (Please see musicians wanted thread) Thanks again to everyone wh...

I actually started having more respect for Pearl Jam again once they went underground and quit doing video's, interviews, etc. I think Eddie V. kinda grew out of being that whiny-ass that we all hate and seems to want people to focus more on their music than what they do or say. Anyway, back on poin...

Thanks guys....

I not trying to beat a dead horse with this thread, but after much consideration and feedback from my family, band, doctors, and fellow rockpagers I've decided to cancel our double-shot weekend. I apologize to anyone who planned on coming out to either or both of the gigs. I hate cancelling shows! M...

Yes, it actually was Dr. Harvey backlash, he's a great doctor! And Bobby, I've had back problems for as long as I can remember, I'm not sure that the drumming was the cause but I'm sure it didn't help matters much either. Funny thing is I still drum about 5-6 songs at each show and I was actually in...
