Louder Than Hell!!!

Here’s a tribute piece I wrote for Loudwire.com about the deaths of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley.   On April 5, 1994, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain died, while Alice in Chains' Layne Staley would pass on April 5, 2002.

On April 1, 1983, Kirk Hammett found out a phone call requesting him to audition for Metallica was not an April Fool's joke.

What do tennis legend John McEnroe, dethroned bicycle racer Lance Armstrong, and veteran record producer Brendan O’Brien have in common? The band, which Commerford formed about three years ago with multi-instrumentalist Jordan Tarlow, has recently released its debut album SteroidsorHeroin along with videos for the songs “Clockwork,” “Mountain Lion,” “Medication Nation,” and “Supernatural.” And that’s where the celebrity guests come in, and things start to get weird.

On March 21, 2000, Pantera released what would be their final studio album, 'Reinventing the Steel.'

In mid-February, Tool guitarist Adam Jones posted a short film on his Facebook page in which Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee walks into the lounge of a studio where both bands are working, and asks Jones what he’s doing.
