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.

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

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

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. 🙄

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. 😁

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.)

Went to see Robin Trower in Boston with my mom for my birthday this week. Got to meet him after the show too! At 80, he's still playing great. If you get the chance to see him, I highly recommend it!

Still kind of amazed it happened, but I recently met one of rock's greatest living guitarists, George Lynch, and saw him work some 6-string magic during a clinic in CT. Wanted to include video here, but apparently you can't do that here. Check my IG for that.

The more we learn of him, the more Vance just strikes me as a garbage human being willing to say/ do anything for power. Keep in mind, this comes from a guy who said he was willing to make up stories about migrants.
