These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. It is relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. I am somewhat patriotic about my Canadian music, so that always comes as a first for me. I enjoy music from all parts of the world respectively, but I still have to promote local if I can. Canadian music rocks!
4. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!

"When you get together and put a new piece in, there's a whole different energy. For us the creative juices have just been flowing – we've been writing, we have tons of great ideas. Next week we're going back in the studio and hammering out some more music." -Bennington
Furthermore...
“We don’t have a label. Everything we’re doing is on our own, so we’re just taking it one track at a time. We would love to sit down and hammer out a record, but the reality is we’re gonna make music, we’re gonna make a lot of it, and we’re gonna be in a position to release a single at a time, go out and really give people music the way they want to get it. It is a good position to be in, and for us, all we care about is going out, making the legacy as great as it needs to be, as great as people expect it to be, and coming out with new music that lives up to that standard.” -Bennington

DANKO JONES In Praise Of RUSH - "There's Just Something About The Band That Evokes Automatic Fandom If You're Born Above The 49th Parallel":
"Touring around the globe, you quickly realize that Rush are so synonymous with Canada that when people find out we're Canadian it only takes five minutes before they start giving us their best 'Tom Sawyer' or 'Closer To The Heart' air guitar impression. They're good ambassadors for our country -- lionized yet gracious, cultivated yet robust." -Jones
Alice Cooper Pays Homage to the Guitar Skills of Jeff Beck, George Harrison:
Q: How did you hook up with Quitter’s Anonymous?
A: "They’re fans, and I’m looking at the idea that when you hit the chord, it lights up and it’s the right chord. I’m going, 'Aha, here’s this guitar that can help me learn to play guitar.' Anything that can help me be a better player, then yeah, I’m all over that. And then when they said they’d like me to represent it I said, "Well, let me see this thing." We brought it down backstage, everybody was playing with it and looked at it, and we gave it the cool thumbs up and if my guitar players are giving it the cool thumb’s up then I’m going, 'Okay.'" -Cooper

Gucci Mane and Marilyn Manson Recorded a Song Together:
"That’s my boy man. We got the dopest record in the world, me and Marilyn. Me and him got one of the craziest records ever made. We made it whatever day Spring Breakers came out in Cali. He came to the sneak premiere, and after we did the red carpet and watched the movie, me and him went to the studio and made us a record. That’s the day that we met and began being friends.

36 Crazyfists On Their New Album:
“There are certain things that this new record will require … First thing is grabbing your favorite people, the ones that care deeply about the effects of music …sitting in a room w a killer sound system or a shitty room w a shit system , but turn it up Fucking Loud, I’ve never been more proud of what we have created. It’s a life story , a struggle, a survival and a conquest.
From one sigh of relief to one acceptance of life’s gnarliest dish.Something we have all gone through or will eventually go through but mostly it’s just a solid jam of 4 boys channeling our friendship, our love for one another and how we traveled through time and space to spread our idea of original music to anyone that gave a fuck to listen….Can’t wait for our people to get a piece of this..we love you. Thanks for believing and caring . Respect. 36CF”
