Here it is, the third part of my talk with Christopher Hilton, author of The Spectacular Rise, Fall, & Rebirth of Hair Metal! It's a fascinating read, with tons of information about a singular, vital period in the history of metal, when a batch of subgenres were lumped together and somehow managed to become the best-selling musical type of the late eighties.
You can buy Christopher's book here:

Hi, everyone! Here's my first workout progress report of the year. I'm pleased to say that while I'm not settin' the world on fire or anything, I'm finally seeing some gains.
I had a conversation with Doug Brignole earlier in January, which I'll edit for public consumption as soon as I get a chance. Here's a link to Doug's newer YouTube channel, where you can get the skinny (so to speak) on his complete Brig 20 program, not just the half-assed way I've been doing things:

And here's a link to the Cafe Press store of my new friend Steve Greene, "The Iron Vegan" (check out the "My Quiet Time..." shirt--I dig it!):

Alright, folks, this is probably--not definitely, but probably--my last update before my first competition (in Classsic Physique) on October 30. This quick video is just about prepatory things that I hadn't anticipated. Thank you all very much for your encouragement, and I'll post more about this experience once it's done (or, maybe, do a short or two during that final day of preparation, spray tan, contest registration and so forth).

Here''s my humble entry into the first Guitar Max Shred Contest. Is my playing any good? Nah. But the good thing is that there's really nowhere to go but up!
If you don't know Guitar Max's channel, you should check it out! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN--LUAhUtNekrhRIC24J_A
And in the spirit of community that I'm hoping to build around this channel, are there any other folks about here who, like me, have decided to re-become a guitar player?
