An awesome first day out at Warriors Of Metal Festival 3 and the most die hard fans turned out for this one. It's currently 5:00 am, but had to take a break to write this real quick.

Check out this artist, called Imagika on Lastfm. They know what the hell they are doing at a live event - Kick ass, professional, in your face, speed and thrash metal, at it's finest! Every member of the band gives it 100% and exudes metal energy, from every sweat…

First things first: Tags are no longer personalized, this coming Nov. 17th, so you may want to join this group, where friends and members can help you make your tags go global for eternal playability.

Global tags are the ones, that everyone on the website uses. It only takes two people to use a tag, to make it go global and also make the tag radio playable by any member of Lastfm. Normally, global tags are genres, arists names, year formed, etc. Basically, the generalities: metal, alternative, formed 2005, def leppard.

We, as subscribers to LastFM,…

While we are not talking motors or valves here, we are definitely talking ramped up power and it's made of solid metal.

Formed in 2003, Voodoo Six from London, U.K., are a revelation to classic, hard rock metaldom! V6 are the wake up and shake up call, for all die hard classic British metal fans. They are making a statement, that classic metal is here to stay and getting bigger and bolder all the time!

Maybe legendary band comparisons are cliche, but in V6's case, it may be warrented. So, you really dig classic, metal/rock style, guitar solos? V6…

Just got my copy of The Equinox from Shaolin Temple of BooM. This CD comes with a custom artwork on the inside cover, by David Alvarez! Not a print, but a hand drawn artwork! NO OTHER music artist has thought to customize each and every CD purchase in this manner. Of course, my copy is autographed by David. I am betting this concept release, will be even more valuable, as time goes on.

COMING SOON! Album title: Duel.
Release date: May 26, 2010

Shaolin Temple Of Boom, Metal, David Alvarez

Vocalists are the heart of the body, but just like any heart, this can be shared. How sweet :3

The guitarists are the hands. You've heard the saying, "the hand is quicker than the eye", right? Sometimes, the hands can steal the show. Oh no! :O

The bassists are the feet and the feet feel it first. Without our feet, we would all be dancing in one place. Where's the fun in that?!

The drums are the backbone of the body and let's face it, without a backbone, there is no form. Goodness, who wants a body made of M-ello?…

Add the appropriate djs/podcasts/radio stations for your genre
get your band the maximum exposure you deserve! Rock/Metal/Indie/Alternative.

Or, if you need some help, send me a request here. I already have an established reputation with the majority of these stations managers, program directors and DJs.

Always submit here first if you want to get maximum exposure in the USA >>> 400 Clear Channel affiliates: http://www.iheartradio.com/national_radio_tuner/main.html

This requires one MP3 only, so make it your best effort! MP3: 8mb max, at least 192 kbps, CBR's, at 44.1 Hz. Be ready and be very professional. Have your best artist photo ready and…

Couldn't have lived it better myself.

This movie is a fairly raw and accurate image of what it's like, for a band in the 90's and even more so today. The van, the arguing, 60 dollars for 800 miles of break downs and break ups-yes, that's the story alright and I felt like it was part of my story as well. Only difference, unlike the Circus Monkey manager, I also drove the tour bus and carried lots of heavy things.

Virtually unknown bands today are lucky if they get paid in free beer. You can forget the gas money part.…
