In a little more than 4 months, the greatest highlight in my concert going so far, will come bounding into my life to shake the very pillars of this so-called music junkie’s understanding of awesome. What’s going on, you ask? Metallica’s Orion Music Festival, that’s what!
On June 23rd and 24th, I’ll be packing my bags for Atlantic City, New Jersey to watch 22 bands (all hand picked by the boys in ‘Tallica) pummel the ear canals of thousands of die-hard Metallica fans. But, wait, there’s more.
Being Metallica’s OWN festival and all, the boys will of course be headlining, closing out the night with a unique and pulverizing set. With the 21st anniversary of “The Black Album” upon the metal community (YAY for odd numbers), the first night will consist of the boys playing the album in its entirety, touching on never played songs, “The Struggle Within” and “Don’t Tread On Me”. The second night will be comprised of yet, another tribute where the band will play the entirety of their 1984 thrashtacular thrill-ride, “Ride the Lightning” from beginning to end, with fan favorite, “Escape”, finally making its live debut after almost 28 years.
In the end, I’m sure my very soul, down to its heavy metal core, will be changed forever. Until then, it’s Metallica, 24/7 for me!

Metal up your arse kiddos!

I'm a restless heart with a strong desire for intellectual expression and visual stimulation. The earth is a big and beautiful place, so I figure, why not dwell in and explore it as much as possible! For me, life is about love, music, and the effect of words on the soul. I look for those who are as passionate about their lifestyle as I am. I'm extremely sporadic. I spend a lot of time going to shows, exploring the hardcore music scene (in ALL its forms) and meeting new people. I'm determined and incredibly passionate about life, interested in only positive vibes. With all intents and purposes I am a firm believer in the "Hardcore" culture, believing that just because you went and got your teeth knocked out at a show and covered yourself in tattoos doesn't mean your hardcore. I'd like to keep all my teeth thank you very much. See, Hardcore set the precedent, but it's not just the music that defined a generation, it's the spirit behind it that defines who we are as a people together, united under one cause. While having piercings and tattoos may define what many define as "looking hardcore", I don't believe that's solely what makes someone a part of the culture. My plan is to write my story through the images I choose to put on my body throughout life, not as a way to fit a niche, but to express what I carry with me, as I grow. I deeply despise over-inflated egos and thoroughly enjoy deep and intellectual conversation. I'm extremely accepting and I tolerate what most people can't. I promote events and book shows from time to time and when I'm not doing that, I'm diving into the shelves and stock rooms of the great, great House of Guitars helping customers satisfy their want for music, daily! Most of the time though, I'm going to shows, taking pictures of bands/artists, and indulging in the modern music scene. This site will host reviews, news, and updates on all of my ventures, on popular releases and underground music. I'm very versatile when it comes to living in the moment. I can create a soundtrack of music for each day of my life on a whim! I also love to make friends so there's never a dull moment! Words are consistently on my mind. I love their sounds, meanings, and the things they put forth through their communication. Every time something is spoken, muttered, or clarified, a light peaks out of a dark confusion shining bright. Simply put, I'm addicted to words, they define my passions. My 3 standards in life are as follows: Music, Philosophy, and Fecundity. I'm Straight Edge, because it's okay to live drug and alcohol free, without judgment of those who don't choose to do the same. Stay posi. XXX circa 2010. <3's to Hardcore!
