If I had the money, I'd totally go to this show! Sounds like a great vacation for sure. 

Trailer For 'Inside L.A. Metal' Documentary Available

Thanks to Facebook, I stumbled across this little gem last night: the trailer for the new documentary about the L.A. hard rock and metal scene. The documentary is called Inside LA Metal and it will be a multi-part series. I have a gut feeling that we're all going to really love and appreciate this series.

The trailer features interviews from people you'd expect (Don Dokken, Lars Ulrich) and lesser known but hugely influential types (Greg Leon). Then there's details, like adding Dante Fox behind Jack Russell's name instead of simply listing Great White.

The film series is directed by Bob Nalbandian (of the early 80s Headbanger fanzine). The DVD has a planned release date of February 2014.

Fretlight Guitars Seem Genius

I've never heard of Fretlight Guitars before until I saw an ad for the product starring our beloved Alice Cooper. Guitar World calls the brand "the fastest and most effective way to learn how to play." As the name suggests, the guitar literally lights up via a built-in LED system.

I'll admit to being totally sucked in by this ad campaign. I really want one of these guitars!
