Running with the Devil (and Snuff news)

When I got to speak with TDWP's Mike Hranica about zombies, faith and fans...it was enlightening to see how much wisdom could come out of a 21 year old. After three full length albums and an EP, he's been around the block and continues to hold high standards for himself, both personally and professionally. Anyway, if you haven't yet, you should click below and check out the interview. Even if you're not a fan, I thought it was a great conversation in which to eavesdrop.

Finally finished the first draft of Snuff. For all of the things that are still wrong with it - things like sound - it's actually shaping up to be quite an interesting little movie. It clocks in at around 27 minutes. Just long enough to be too long for a short and too short to be a feature. I guess none of that matters really. Everyone that was involved in this project knew what they were getting into when they volunteered to be a part of it. In any case, I sat down for the first time and watched it from start to finish and it was pretty riveting. I still think that "they" will hate it. But I then again, I always do.

A Conversation with Zakk Wylde

The Conversation with Zakk Wylde is up. All I can say is that it was a great interview. He didn't shy away from any question and really proved to be a student of music. I think that's what I appreciated most...he knew what debts he owed and to whom.  Check it out in the link below...

Anberlin

The first time I listened to Anberlin, I thought I was listening to another band called Sparta.  Don't get me wrong, I like both bands and while the lead singers share a tonality in their voices that's really where the comparisons end.  Anberlin is a great band and Sparta is no more. In any case...stay tuned as the interviews and transcripts pile up on my hard drive.  

I promise...the Zakk Wylde conversation will still be up in a couple of days as well.

Ozzfest 2010: Too Fat for Love

(not Zakk Wylde though, this guy was awesome.  Don't believe me?  Just ask Chris Jericho (of WWE fame)

Ozzfest was a complete letdown from a production standpoint and really didn't even come close to being as well run as The Mayhem Festival.  The festival review is in the link below.  But just to add a few more thoughts.  Mayhem treated everyone like they were writers from Rolling Stone whereas Ozzfest was the complete opposite making everyone feel like WE were lucky to be there.  For the record, I really did feel like I was writing for Cream Magazine as William Miller, so that was the approach I used in writing it.  The irony is that in the film it's the Black Sabbath people that shut William Miller out of the arena and it's Stillwater that lets him in.  Fast forward to 2010, all I have to say is that it's Ozzfest.  You do the math.  I guess there isn't a huge difference between fact and fiction.  Oh well.  Check out the review anyway

How Ozzfest Lost Me

Whether it was management or the Crue that ultimately made the call to ax the press passes promised, someone pulled the plug. Very few people are getting the Crue. Apparently Crue's management is the reason. Yeah...you'll get a full review soon.

Zakk Wylde Tomorrow

We booked an interview with former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde as a part of the promotion for the upcoming Ozzfest.  I hear he has a unique sense of humor.  We shall see.  Stay tuned.
