NAME THAT TUNE IN FOUR NOTES: Here's the
Jen Majura Official 1-Minute Jam I told you about yesterday, with Jen and Kenny Aronoff and yours truly rocking out to some big hit song. 😉
(Outtake reel with much more silly stuff coming later this week!)
ONE MINUTE OF HAPPINESS AND FUN: That’s not too much to ask in these trying times, is it? Jen Majura Official (Evanescence) doesn’t think so. So she’s been doing this YouTube video series of “One Minute Jams” featuring folks and songs you probably know, just for fun and kicks. And she asked me and Kenny Aronoff to be her rhythm section for the latest installment! It debuts tomorrow on her YouTube channel at 19:00 CET / 1:00pm US East Coast / 10:00am US West Coast. What rock classic did we cover? Tune in and find out...
Also, there *might* be outtakes from this shoot that contain a lot more silliness from my garage, and could show up in a later video. Just saying. 😉
8-BIT DETHKLOK BRUTALITY: So you're saying that someone made 8-bit versions of...every...Dethklok...song...ever...released?
*SMASHES LIKE BUTTON*
Gateway to the rabbit hole...
PUTTING THE WOOF IN WOOFER: *movie trailer voice* In a world gone mad...one man has a single mission...to set up a ginormous Gallien-Krueger bass rig in the driveway and get Ellie (aka @lil_september_dog on Insta) to dog-smile for the camera.
SHE DON'T WORK FOR FREE: I could watch #AlmostNoSocialMediaButNowHeHasAYouTubeChannel Joe Travers play straight up rock drums all day. Especially when it's classic Van Halen. Here he is with his VH tribute band Brown M & M's (love that band name) doing "Girl Gone Bad". Also, let's play that game again, the one where we rank the DLR-era VH albums. I'll go first, and yes, this is subjective and just my faves in order:
1. Fair Warning
2. 1984
3. Diver Down (yes, I know, so many covers, but the vibe...)
4. Van Halen (I)
5. Women And Children First
6. Van Halen II

LASER CANNON 8-BIT SENTENCE: This is completely amazing and I'm not sorry for flooding my timeline with this.
