A humble vaudevillian veteran

Brian Patrick Carroll, better known as Buckethead, is an American musician and songwriter. As a musician, Buckethead has released 25 solo albums and performed on 50other albums. When on stage, Buckethead was better known as the artist who would wear a mask with a KFC bucket on, hence the name Buckethead. More recently, he has switched to a plain white bucket. He plays many types of genres spanning from numetal to blue grass and everything between. He's been voted number 8 on a list in a GuitarOne magazine of the "Top 20 Greates Guitar Shredders of All Time" as well as being included in Guitar World's " 50 fastest guitarists of all time".

Like father, like son

Children's music is dominating Ziggy Marley's making these days both for himself and his father, Bob Marley. His upcoming album "Family Time" will be released on May 5th which includes what he refers as "family music" along with a couple of covers from Woody Guthrie's "This train" and a Jamaican children classic "Hold em Joe" It will also include guests stars, Jamie Lee Curtis, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Toots Hibbert along with mother Rita Marley and sister Cedella Marley. "It's a very different vibe," says Ziggy, "but still real Bob. It's not like fake Bob. It's still the real Bob...It's Bob singing and I'm playing, like an acoustic session almost. Anything I did on this record is soulful and musical. There's no gimmicks. I'm keeping true to the spirit of my father, to the spirit of his music."

Maybe you can be a hero

Seems like Metallica's future is finally set after they were inducted to the Rock Hall of Fame, but it didn't stop there. Activision representatives were in negotiations with the band to release a Guitar Hero game in their name. A year later, Guitar Hero: Metallica was released, and contains many of their songs along with other songs from other bands. The total songs on this game is 49, and the total bands are 22. I think that this game is rather entertaining if you are an American Idol freak, or if you simply like the band.
