Stolas – Medusa
Found these guys on LinkedIn. Yeah…LinkedIn. Saw the guitar player’s photo on my stream and thought, “That guy’s got to be a musician.” Turns out I was right and his band kicks absolute ass.
Shadows Fall
Some of Big Swole’s favorite tracks from Shadows Fall!
2Cellos – Highway to Hell
These two dudes are whack! Like them or not, you have to appreciate the talent and musicianship it takes to convert some of the most monster rock songs in history into a duet played on cellos. I personally like the shit out of them.

Tony Monaco
Tony Monaco’s Jimmy Smith Tribute is a monster!

Black Label Society – New Religion
One of my very favorite BLS songs. Love the piano intro that leads into a face melting riff.
Just some Jamming from Andy, Zakk & Richie
When you look up Heavy Metal guitarist in the Encyclopedia, If ZW isn’t mentioned, throw that crap in the trash and go get some real books. One of the quintessential metal bad asses. Richie Faulkner, while no KK Downing or Glen Tiptop, he ain’t chopped liver either. Quality shredding from the new axeman for Judas […]
Scatterbrain – Don’t Call Me Dude
All Big Swole had to do was mention the band Scatterbrain in his post about Psychostick and it sent me on a path down a memory highway that I have not driven down in years. It was fueled with way too much shitty beer, packs and packs of Marlboro Reds and countless hours jamming to […]
