notes from the coast: Sanctuary. Club Nokia 01.07.12

Happy New Year metalheads! 2011 was a good year for the underground, with lots of solid and promising releases by newer and unknown bands, but for the old guard it wasn’t such a hot year. Lots of disappointments for me personally (Morbid Angel, Anthrax, Mastodon, Opeth etc….) but one of the sadder announcements last...

notes from the coast: Golden Voice 30th Anniversary 12.18.11

For as long as I can remember, the name Golden Voice has been pretty synonymous with great punk and metal shows. I believe my first ever punk show (GBH/The Accused) was a Golden Voice sponsored tour, so when I showed up at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on Sunday night I was proud to...

Axl Rose, Tommy Stinson, Richard Fortus, Dizzy Reed, DJ Ashba, Bumblefoot & Frank Ferrer.  1st Bank Center.  12.11.11

Don’t call them Guns N’ Roses, but don’t mistake ‘Fat Axl‘ for ‘Lazy Axl’.  In fact, although he might have 100 lbs on the serpentine, drug-addled dance machine in the Welcome To The Jungle video, Mr. Rose proved himself a better performer than he ever was back then.  When Guns N’ Roses came through...

Max and Igor Cavalera, the two famed metal brothers who formed the legendary Sepultura, have been playing together for the last few years as Cavalera Conspiracy, after not even talking to each other for over 10 years when Max left the band. For those unfamiliar with Cavalera Conspiracy, their sound falls somewhere between the...

Opeth @ Ogden Theatre.  10.25.11

Those hoping for a death metal show when Opeth came through Denver last week were sorely disappointed, but those who were familiar with the new album and aware of the progressive setlist were treated to a perfectly balanced rock show by some of the most talented musicians to come from Sweden. As the snow...
