THAT is how a proper metal band takes the stage. They’ve certainly earned their name – every member of the band was full of energy, and that translated quickly to the crowd. Of course, pounding out classic Dio-era Sabbath is generally a good choice. Everyone seemed to balance showmanship and solid chops pretty well. The bassist’s tone seemed a bit scooped for this sort of music, but I’m sure they’ll work out the kinks (and it would have been funny if they had played the Kinks, too) with a little time.
Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
