Scars and Guitars Volume 1 let's you be part of a interview

Here's a little Ebook recommendation for all of you out there who like me have a passion for reading interviews with musicians. People creating the music we all love often have a lot to say. Not only about the art they create but also about the way they live, the way life happens to them or what they have experienced and overcome in all of these times. These conversations often feel to me as if we're often passing similar stations ins life.

Contained within the pages of Scars and Guitars, Volume 1, you’ll discover thoughts and recollections from conversations with over 90 podcast guests of Andrew McKaysmith. 


You’ll read excerpts from conversations with the members of bands playing their trade under the broader banners of rock, classic rock, heavy metal, industrial, death metal, black metal, deathcore, thrash metal, punk, and reggae, featuring musicians as diverse as Michael Schenker (MSG/ Scorpions), Don Felder (Eagles), Erik Danielsson (Watain) Phil Campbell (Motörhead), Al Di Meola, Adam Darski AKA Nergal (Behemoth/ Me and That Man), George Lynch (Dokken) as well as bumper entries featuring conversations with the members of Morbid Angel, Anthrax, Megadeth, Napalm Death, Testament, Corrosion of Conformity, and Cradle of Filth, to name just a few. 

The value in Scars and Guitars, Volume 1, is the sense that, as a reader, you are now a part of the conversation. Andrew has a knack for allowing the person he is talking to feel at ease, which is how he obtains deep insight into their thoughts and feelings. As you read through the book’s many entries, you’ll feel as though you were there, an observer at the time of the conversation.

I've just checked out little potions of the book and it's amazing to see that it works. It feels more as if you were directly transfered to the place of the interview and experienced the whole scene for yourselves.

Have a look into some sample of the books at the trader of your trust.

Rock Hard Festival 2015 Livestream announced for this weekend

Yes! I've had a eye upon this during the last days and nearly lost the hope but finally the announcement has been made that the german TV station WDR is going to broadcast shows of the Rock Hard Festival 2015 online during a livestream!

So far the schedule for tomorrow, Friday the 22th May 2015 has been confirmed.
You can find the startbutton to the stream itself at the homepage of the Rockpalast. Just hit the button labeled "Live Video". A new window on the PC will open up with the video.

Please not that I include the timetable for the other shows as well but can't say if they are going to be streamed, too. As soon as I've have information on that I'll update the article.

Update 2015/05/28: Some nice stuff has been released after the festival closed it's doors.
You can watch accoustic clips from the BLACK STAR RIDERS, REFUGE, SANCTUARY, AVATARIUM, PENTAGRAM and ARCHITECTS OF CHAOZ that have been recorded in the backstage section right here.

HMTV has put together a nice round-up of the festival. They also included stuff of the bands that were not shown during the stream (SPACE CHASER, DESERTED FEAR, MOTORJESUS, VOIVOD and CHANNEL ZERO). Check it out below:


Update 2015/05/22: It's confirmed! All the bands that are listed here in the timetable will be shown during the livestream. Enjoy! :-)

The links underneath the bandnames will take you to interview video footage that can been seen at the homepage of the TV show that makes the stream possible (it's the legendary Rockpalast show).
