Not really. I love metal, but I'm primarily a blues and jazz fan, that just happens to also be a horror writer and lifelong fan. The bat inlays are just calling to me.

Great news. Cause I really, really want this guitar. For the price, the look and feel, and the sound I think it's perfect for me.

http://www.prsguitars.com/allender/index.html I've been shopping new guitars all day and discovered that my hands will not work with the Gibson neck (too large for my stubby hands, I guess), but I did find a PRS SE Paul Allender guitar, used, for $450.00. I kind of fell in love with the whole...

That's good to know, cause I've got a lot of questions. HA!

I think I love you guys...HA! Seriously. I'm forty and as I get older it gets harder to find people to share this album with. The younger guys I've played music with wouldn't even listen to the damn thing. Too old fashioned, one of them told me later. Needless to say, we are no longer playing...

Otherwise known as Hell in the summer. It's about 115 F outside as I type this. Anyway, my name is Nickolas Cook, a published horror author and reviewer for various aspects of the genre. I also edit a fairly successful online horror magazine called THE BLACK GLOVE, devoted to horror culture and...

This has been one of my top ten albums since I first heard it about fifteen years ago. Duane Allman was a god. His slide work on this album is nothing short of genius! Any of you guys ever hear this one?
