So, circumstances have conspired to provide another guitar for us to unbox and review, and here's the unboxing. Review coming soon(ish)!

If you haven't checked out the YouTube channel of Steve Greene, "Iron Vegan," you probably should. There's a lot of interesting stuff there.
This video is the first, shorter part of a discussion that Steve was kind enough to have with me recently. We focus mostly on the changes that Steve has seen in the bodybuilding scene (Steve began bodybuilding in 1968).
Go visit Steve's channel and come back here for Part 2 of this discussion soon. Thanks!

Guitar Max and his new Harley Benton signature guitar--how in the world did this happen? Max was kind enough to talk with me and discuss the process!

Hi, all! So I'm going to do it: my first competition will be October 30, and Doug Brignole, Steve Greene, and John Taylor were kind enough to talk with me about the ins & outs and do's & do-nots of preparing for one's first contest.
There will be two more parts to this video. I hope you enjoy them!

[Update: Here's someone else's video about Sin After Sin, including some interesting stuff I didn't know! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUoDcK9rLr8 ]
This is the first in a series (hopefully!) of Re-Views, in which we'll use the benefit of hindsight to look back at albums, artists, and performances to see how they fit into the history of Metal. It seems somehow appropriate to begin with Judas Priest: Sin After Sin.
Here's an article about the album, written in its 35th anniversary year by Avinash Mittur for Metal Assault: http://metalassault.com/album_reviews/2012/04/25/retrospective-judas-priests-sin-after-sin-turns-35/

Hey, all! Here's a review of another Monoprice Indio Cali Classic. Is this one as good as the original that I reviewed? (Short answer: yes!) This is a great guitar for A) a beginner, B) an accomplished player who needs a backup, C) someone who wants to get their mod on, D) someone who wants a Strat but doesn't want out the bucks for a Fender (or even a Squier)! Have a look, and thank! (And feel free to improve your life by buying a t-shirt: https://my-store-9774711.creator-spring.com/ )
