Marty Friedman, Jason Becker: Cacophy V220 sold to help Japan earthquake vi
2011-04-17 10:45:00 Looks like it's gone to a good home :) Hey everybody, I want you guys to be the first ones to know that I am now a proud owner of Marty Friedman's Red Carvin V220 which he used during the recording of Go Off!!, touring, clinics, ect between ?88 and ?89 and of course Megadeth?s audition. The whole reason why I got into Carvin was THIS guitar. When I first saw it on those ?88/?89 Cacophony bootlegs I fell in love with its shape and tone, instantly. Some people said it went for less than expected, well I agree. I expected it to go for around $5,000-$6,000 minimum but since Carvin is not as widespread as Jackson and Cacophony isn't as well known as Megadeth, well those factors definitely affected the final price. I bid on it because I truly love the V220 and Cacophony and this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a guitar from one of my favorite guitarists/musicians. And of course I am glad that my money will go to aid the victims in Japan. It was a very generous thing...

Japan EarthQuake Tsunami : Before and After Images By Google
2011-03-14 06:01:00 Last week has been one where Japan has been in focus. The double hit of earthquake + tsunami has meant that the country is devastated and things are not how they were before. Google has jumped in to aid the situation using their technology. Google wrote in its blog that they have worked with their satellite imagery providers to get the latest available data of the areas affected most. They have also launched a picasa album of the before and after pictures here. Google believes that this should help the authorities as well as the NGO organizations to help reach places that are worst affected. A noble thought for sure. It seems that even social media sites like facebook and twitter were of great help during this catastrophe. This story outlines how both these social media sites were of immense help in keeping people in touch.

This song has been in the works for many months, as most of my songs are. I have a huge collection of riffs and once I find ones that work together I can begin writing, and it all comes together in a matter of hours. This one was supposed to be in Drop C or D tuning but I decided to go for A-standard on a 7 string! Sounds pretty bad-ass if you ask me. Once again I'm using untouched presets on my new Axe-Fx and also Drumkit From Hell to program the drums. On a side note, I have an ear infection (and also sinus and eye infection) and am not feeling very well, so I'm really unsure how the mix sounds for this song. I don't know how much my sense of hearing has been affected, and I literally recorded, mixed, video-recorded and edited this today in a few hours so I haven't heard this with heal...

Avoid Haiti earthquake relief scams
2010-01-16 16:07:00 Haiti is devastated, and people are mobilizing to raise money and bring relief. Unfortunately, every time disaster strikes, scam artists go to work, figuring out ways to profit from the desire of good-hearted people to help. Fake charities are set up, fake "victims" come forward, fake contractors claim to be engaged in relief work or rebuilding. In addition to the predators trying to profit directly from the tragedy, there are people using earthquake-related emails and websites to spread computer viruses and gain personal information from unwitting victims.Complicating the situation further are well-meaning people, often celebrities, who set up ad hoc charities to raise money in the aftermath of disasters. These charity efforts can be hampered by unscrupulous or inexperienced administrators. ...
