Bootleg Metal's Slipknot drummer pick


So Jay Weinberg is out. A great drummer, but a pick that never made sense to me, but who am I. They picked him, he did the job and now has a great resume to move on with. More power to him.

I have to say my pick today is the same as it was all those years back. I've seen Slipknot and Nile many times and and George Kollias in my eyes is the man. Technically sound, fast, endurance like a machine and more than just a rock/metal drummer. I can post a video for Eloy Casagrande, Mike Mangini, Gene Hoglan, Derek Roddy and a dozen others. All the best in what they do and all more than capable of filling the shoes of Joey but I keep going back to George.  There you have it. What say you? - PJ

EXHALE INTERVIEW:

Exhale is: Corey McLane - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Songwriter John Burns - Drums/Backing Vocals/Songwriter Matt Vigeant - Bassist/Backing Vocals Mike Fintonis - Lead Guitar   Buy Music Here: BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? EXHALE:  What's in a name? Well, our original drummer and close friend, Ken Billingsley, came up with the band name 'Exhale'.. We wanted something easy to spell, say and understand.. Plus, we were all partial to the idea of having a one word band name. I suppose you can get all deep and meaningful about it and say things like, "It's the last thing we do before we die." Or "It's an'exhale' of notes".. but really, we just thought 'Exhale' sounded like a pretty cool band name.  BOOTLEG METAL:  Where is the band from? EXHALE:  Exhale is a 4-piece, hard rock/grunge band from Boston, MA. BOOTLEG METAL: Is this the original l...

SEBASTIAN BACH proves he's got nothing to lose

It's been a decade since Sebastian has put out new music and this one was worth the wait. Co-written with Myles Kennedy, "WHAT DO I GOT TO LOSE" is what you would expect (and hope for) from the former Skid Row singer. A great song, a killer mix and a pretty good video to compliment the song writing effort. Former Skid Row bandmate was behind the drums for this one and was nice to see them together again. Reigning Phoenix Music has a release to be proud of and I wish all involved the best. Can't wait to hear some more.  -PJ

THE BLACK HEART GOSPEL INTERVIEW:

The Black Heart Gospel is: Pete Colvin - drums Stan Chan - guitar Todd Knowlden - vocals Mark Ramsey - bass Buy Music here:                 BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? THE BLACK HEART GOSPEL: The name, yeah that was me (Pete). We've all dealt with and probably will continue to deal with not so great people. Road ragers, bullies, liars whoever. Basically, it's F U and I'm sticking to it. You know, when someone says take something as gospel. So it's not referencing that style of music or anything. BOOTLEG METAL: Nice man, I get it. One of the cooler name developments. BOOTLEG METAL:  Where is the band from? THE BLACK HEART GOSPEL: We're all from NJ. Mark, Stan and myself are all from the Central Jersey area and Todd is North Jersey. BOOTLEG METAL: Is this the original line up and how did you guys find yourselves in the same band ? ...
