Highly questionable idea that just came to me:
A Christmas Carol, but with the characters of Scrooge and the ghost of Jacob Marley replaced by Elon Musk and Vivian Wilson, respectively.

Good news: my favorite weird , experimental Japanese metal band just dropped a pretty awesome new song- their first in seven years. 😍
Bad news: The video was made with AI. 🥺
Can't win 'em all, I guess.

Matt Zappa tracking drums for that "antifascist Opeth with female vocals" thing I mentioned recently, plus a bit of the finished song. It'll be available on Bandcamp page of my project, Ammonoid, in early December.

Got music coming out next month that I got to make w/ some very talented people. If you've ever dreamed of an antifascist/ anti-authoritarian Opeth with (mostly) clean female vocals, this is for you, because that's the vibe we were going for. Here's a taste.

This talk of how women in NYC will have to wear burqas because of Mamdani is particularly wild coming from people who voted in a presidential admin w/ close friends/ associates who say they don't think women should have the right to vote. It's almost as if it's not really about women's rights. 🤔

Interview I did with NYC's fairly brilliant prog/ noise rock quartet Cinemartyr for Maximum Metal awhile back, w/ live footage. Still proud of this and we have more cool stuff coming. Keep an eye on our channel! 😀🤘

Ace Frehley made 13-year-old me want to start playing guitar. He wasn't a very technical player, but his phrasing was often brilliant. Here's my attempt at his lead on Kiss' "100,000 Years," which I think is a great example of this. Rest in peace, Ace! #kiss #acefrehley #guitarsolo

Solid tune & MUCH better production than the band's last album.
Oh, and if you're a fan of George, I'll have something to share with the world in the coming weeks that you'll probably be interested in. 😉 Hmmm... What could that be? Stay tuned to find out!

Great pick on Lee and Lifeson's part! Not only is Anika a truly great drummer, but this should put to rest any lingering thoughts that the music of Rush is just for guys. #rushband #prog #progrock #anikanilles

At the industry's current rate, I predict that in fifteen years, at least 40% of all models of guitars, amps, picks, cables, straps and other related products offered by major manufacturers will be Joe Bonamassa signature models. Most of them based on gear previously owned by other guitar heroes.

Short demo of my Dunable Yeti in B standard tuning. Pickups are Attitude XFR & Epic XFR by Stonewall Pickups in NH. First two riffs might become part of a new song. Last one is from the band that inspired me to try this tuning. Can you guess who? Hint in the hashtags. 😉 #dunableguitars #billsteer

Note to supposedly intelligent people: STOP referring to rumors about secret plots as conspiracies! The definition of conspiracy is below. A rumor about one is called a conspiracy THEORY. Can't believe how many people get this wrong. Hell, I heard a PBS news anchor make this mistake recently. 🙄

Anyone else get the impression that commercial metalcore bands have been rewriting the same song since about 2003? Every one I hear seems to have the same beat, same three chord progression on the chorus (VI, min. IV, min. I) & same vague, general lyrics about personal struggles.

If some people cared about the wellbeing of their fellow humans in crisis half as much as they cared about the goddamn Cracker Barrel logo, the world would be a much better place. Just saying.

Testing an Evidence Audio Melody cable that had been dead, but was resurrected after I sent it in for a warranty repair. Of course, this also served as an excuse for some noodling. 😃

Low effort Prog Snob-type meme I created by accident. I was listening to the new Shardik album while trying to screenshot something. Through a wacky accident, I got a screenshot of a meme making fun of Dream Theater, but with Shardik's album art appearing where a DT album had originally appeared. 😁

First interview I've done for Maximum Metal in awhile, w/ NYC'S Cinemartyr. Their sound has an interesting combination of elements: odd time signatures, clean female and male vox, noise... Vid includes live footage. Check it out!

Recently picked up this rad little gizmo: a '70's MXR Phase 100. Used to belong to the late Alphonse Mouzon, who played drums on the first Weather Report album & worked with McCoy Tyner. (You can faintly see his name printed on the bottom in the 2nd pic.)
