Drowning Pool/Union Undgerground/New Medicine news

How did I miss the news that Ryan McCombs was out of Drowning Pool? I thought they were a great fit together. Then again, I thought Ryan sounded great with Soil. We'll see where he pops up next. I think he should do a solo project or something where he can call the shots more. I really hope Drowning Pool finds a singer that can keep the ball rolling for them. Just the amount of success they've had, with three different singers is impressive. Who will be lead singer #4? By the way, raise your hand if you're a sinner! (raise your hand if you saw them at Ryan's in support of Sinner! Awesome show!)

Former Union Underground singer Bryan Scott has finally gotten the ball rolling on his new project, Cult to Follow. He sent me the following:

I checked out the song. It sounds pretty good. I can't wait for the full length.

I was in contact with the booking agency for New Medicine suggesting places they could play in the area. It sounds like they are working on something. The guy that I spoke with said that maybe in March they would have something lined up. I hope it happens. I really like New Medicine. Make sure you check out the cd!

Merry Christmas! Whether you get the lump of coal or the new Lexus, enjoy the holidays!

cd pick of the day--Only Flesh From the gutter to the grave This one is kind of weird, in a Dog Fashion Disco type of way. I'm very intrigued by it.

Been listening to a lot of Pantera and Damage Plan. Hard to believe it's been seven years already that Dime was taken from us. It you are looking for something to do tonight, head to Luna Lounge on College Avenue in Appleton. The 6th annual Tribute to Dimebag is taking place tonight. Five bands for $5 including Profane, Bound for Severance, and Roses for the Dead.

cd pick of the day--anything by Slayer I put the entire Slayer library on random and just let it rip!!

My trip to Florida aka How I saw Justin Bieber and Jennifer Hudson

Last week, my wife and I headed to Florida with the kids. Nobody noticed I was gone, by the way. Thanks! Anyhow, we did the Disney thing. They were filming their holiday special to air on Christmas day while we were there (it's not live? Shocking!). Being the Radio/TV/Film nerd that I am, we had to check it out. The first day, Scotty McCreery (sp) and Jennifer Hudson were performing their Christmas songs. I seriously thought about trying to start a circle pit while Hudson performed Joy to the World, but I knew I would get a lifetime ban from the Magic Kingdom. Classic line from my wife as I told her about wanting to start the circle pit. "I have no idea what you're talking about." So there we were in Disney as I explained to her the crazy dancing in a circle along with the brutality that goes on at metal shows. I did throw the devil horns up. I can't wait to see if that footage gets on the air. The second day, the rumors were true. Justin Bieber was there, doing a two song medley. The teenage girls were going crazy. I couldn't bring myself to fake enthusiasm during his songs, no matter how many tv cameras were filming. He filmed his stuff a couple of times and he was gone. Never in my life did I think I'd see Justin Bieber or Jennifer Hudson in concert. I think my last vacation was way cooler when Avenged Sevenfold, Hellyeah, New Medicine, Halestorm, and others were performing at the arena right next to the hotel I was staying at. Much better!


cd pick of the day--Hank III Attention Deficit Domination Hank III gets heavy on this one. Gotta love it!
