What a great show! Iommie sounded amazing!! Bitter sweet to see Iommi play knowing that this is truly probably the final farewell (ozzy's faked so many times) due to Iommie having stage4 lymphoma and is now on maintenance program. The band sounded amazing!! Ozzy's voice held out, he was in good spirits, cracking a few jokes and, man, do i love (and chuckle) how he shuffles about and claps. So classic. Geezer blew me away. He is such a powerful player and just looked so badass and rocking. He ruled it! Rob Zombie drummer Tommy Clufetos definitely captured the Sabbath vibe with some serious heavy sticks! Yet added his own style to it. While others loved or hated his crazy ass long 10 minute drum solo (& light show), I was too busy being stoked for the guy to care. Imagine that dream come true? Playing drums with Sabbath!!!! Insane. And while we of course miss Bill Ward, Clufetos and Butler's rhythm section was solid, making a perfect bed for Iommie.

EVERYWHERE: people are sad - RIP Joey LaCaze

My deepest sympathy to Joey's family, friends and all of EyeHateGod and fans (me included!)

Really tragic news. My heart goes out to you, EyeHateGod gentlemen and crew.

HEAR: Nine In Nails - Everything

HEAR: NIN new song "Everything"!
http://youtu.be/848kTjwPZDk

Not really what I was expecting after all this time, but that's Trent. His Outside Lands performance in SF was awe inspiring and perfect! Letting this pop dittie sink in.

GEAR: Black Horn Gauge Earrings

Black Horn Gauge Earrings


Well, if you're like me and earlobe stretching is not for you. (Uh, gross!) But you dig the style of the earrings, check out these faux gauges by DewiDesign.

DewiDesign's earrings are made from various types of wood, shell, mother of pearl/nacre, coconut, salvaged bone, and horn. Made from the the highest quality naturally organic materials, even the bone and horn used to hand carve these designs is recycled from water buffalo or cow (no animals were ever harmed)! Fancy the "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo"? DewiDesign replicates the style worn by Rooney Mara on the cover of 'W' magazine.

Can't get enough of them, in fact I rock a few pairs! ...And Sarah from DewiDesign lives in our Motor City, Detroit. Even cooler!
