Just goofing around at the recording studio while @danschizmusic was laying down some extra guitar tracks for our new song. There’s a lot of ‘hurry up and wait’ in the recording process (and in the entertainment industry in general). It’s great to be able to pass the time with people you genuinely enjoying hanging out with. I loves my whole band-fam tribe.

Whenever given the chance, I love recording ‘live’, with everyone in the band playing together instead of tracking each instrument separately.

Whenever given the chance, I love recording ‘live’, with everyone in the band playing together instead of tracking each instrument separately. Just like at a live show, there’s an extra special magic that gets captured when we can make eye contact and respond to each other’s energy. @werenogentlemen recently took the opportunity to record our next single using this method. It was a blast and we all loved the experience.

Since the pandemic started I have had some time to focus on becoming a better vocalist, both for background vocals as well as singing lead on some projects.

Since the pandemic started I have had some time to focus on becoming a better vocalist, both for background vocals as well as singing lead on some projects. I’ve been working with a great vocal coach, @theofficialjulianmiranda. With his help, my vocal capabilities (and my confidence) are growing stronger all the time. I can’t thank Julian enough for his expertise and friendship.

Wow!

Wow! It’s been a banner year for @werenogentlemen, despite some of the challenges we and the rest of the music community are facing. Much thanks to everyone listening to us on @spotify.

So sorry to hear of Eddie Van Halen’s crossing over yesterday, October 6th.

So sorry to hear of Eddie Van Halen’s crossing over yesterday, October 6th. Sadly, Van Halen’s original bass player, Mark Stone just passed away as well on Sept 26th.

Eddie and the whole band have been a huge influence and inspiration to me and so many other musicians. On the cusp of the hard rock era, Eddie rewrote the book on playing the electric guitar and kicked down the door for all the amazing players to follow. Van Halen has sold over 75 million albums worldwide and have 13 No. 1 hits.

Millions of us can say that Van Halen music has bookmarked many of the good times in our lives. Eddie will rock on forever ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

throwbackthursday (at 19 years old) Hanging out with the band and crew after a gig opening for RIOT — these guys are fantastic musicians, and they treated us very well as their opening act.

throwbackthursday (at 19 years old) Hanging out with the band and crew after a gig opening for RIOT — these guys are fantastic musicians, and they treated us very well as their opening act. So sad to hear of Mark Reale’s passing in 2012. There’s a great documentary about this band called ‘Riot – Fight or Fall’ you can watch for free on The Metal Voice YouTube channel.
