It is time for the second installment of Name That Riff. Home gamers play along by listening to this guitar solo and then naming the band. For bonus points name the song as well.
Hint: The singer of this band drove a cement truck before their 1986 debut album went multi platinum. They garnered critical acclaim for their melodic guitar riffs and bluesy vocals. In an age of hair metal, this band had a no frills presence. NO hairspray or fog machines. They were simply blue jeans and t-shirts, guitars and amps.

Hint: This German band took heavy metal by storm in the 1980's with their gritty lyrics and dual Flying V guitar attack.
Useless Trivia: I remember sitting in high school freshman algebra and someone had brought their Restless & Wild album into class. That is one of my earliest "heavy metal" memories. One of the first times I recall noticing their was a genre of music out there that made rock n roll seem so...mainstream.

Windows Media Player 11 is a clunky piece of crap. To use it is a frustrating and completely unejoyable experience. It sucks. If you have a choice between Windows Media Player 10 vs Media Player 11, do not upgrade.

Thanks to P2P (peer-to-peer) networks±, these bootlegs from the 70's, 80's and 90's are now just a click away -- and free. When I was a teenager I spent hundreds of dollars on VHS copies of Mötley Crüe concerts. Now fans have transferred these old videos to digital and they are online for anyone to share.

The way this guy creep publicized her situation makes me cringe. I think he enjoys seeing girls cry. What a flipping weirdo! Other than the alleged coke use, her behaviour was quite normal for a woman with personality in her 20's. Don't get me wrong.

Razzle (Nicholas Dingley) was killed 22 years ago while riding in Vince Neil's Ford Pantera. Razzle drummed for Hanoi Rocks, one of my absolute favorite bands. And one of the kewlest rock bands of all time, IMO.

I read an AZ Central article back in October that talked about how eight lion statues were set to be removed from a park at Westgate City Center because they are "anatomically correct". Oh the horror! Evidently some uptight Phoenician (or maybe "Glendalian"...is

So I'm driving to ASU yesterday morning, I exit the 202 south onto Rural and look to my right (because I like to see Tempe Town Lake and the ASU Rowing club is often already out training. That's dedication!). Anyhoo, yesterday I look over and -- holycow!

Yahoo! Pulse ...or lack thereof . Should I be concerned that we are more interested in Paris Hilton ± than North Korea? Should Kim Jong Il be concerned? Haha! Actually that aspect is kinda funny. The guy is a huge baby. Talk about a poster child for low

The official Monopoly Here & Now board has been revealed and--what Camelback Mountain is a National hot spot?! Who'd a thunk it? Let me tell you, us Phoenicians are flattered. Uncertain about the judging process, but flattered nonetheless. My previous

‡ Had a quick second footnote from my post yesterday but it was way OT (off topic). True story though. Once upon a time I saw a heavy metal show at the historic Orpheum Theatre . I put my words in bold because the show was flippin louD, craZy and X-rated

My buddy OT and I did a walk-through of the new Arizona Cardinals stadium this past weekend. The tour was free but required a ticket, so it was not too busy IMO. It was kewl, nice to tour it when things weren't so busy. The only bummer was that we could

The only problem is... this ain't GNR . The "Axl Rose B l and", maybe. Why anyone even wants to see these photos is beyond me. (Though I will admit this group is better than the bunch of weirdos Axl gathered up in 2002.) I suppose if you go to a show
