Drummer Spotlight Interview with George Schmitz from STICK TO YOUR GUNS! @georgeschmitz @stygoc @tamaofficial @zildjiancompany @vicfirth
How do you tell if the stage is level? The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth.
Drummers always get a bum rap. Why is that? Ever seen a good band with a shitty drummer? No. Know why? BECAUSE THEY DON’T FUCKING EXIST (with exception for The Beatles.)
Drummers rule! We hit stuff, get peoples’ butts shaking, and ultimately determine whether or not the band is going to perform well. You CANNOT have a solid band without a solid drummer, so all you 6-string wankers out there with your tapping and flooded solos can suck it… This one is for the hitters.
Today, I bring you some insight on George Schmitz, drummer for the awesome Stick To Your Guns! Check out the interview and support STYG!

NINE INCH NAILS IS BACK! @TRENT_REZNOR @NIN
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!
NIN TOUR COMING!
Sayeth Trent:
“I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked – which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.
The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.
Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.”

Don’t be this guy. @iamnotshouting @soundwavefest
This moron thought it’d be a good idea to bring a magnesium flare into an open air live music festival. Result? Burning the hell out of a young girl (who thankfully wasn’t as injured as initially thought, but still burned up pretty bad.)
Please, for the love of music and fellow attendees, DO NOT BRING FIREWORKS OR EXPLOSIVES to a music event. Think about the damage you can do to yourself and others around you.
