General Overview

Hello everyone out there, my name is Gerald Bourguet and I love music. I love all music, but the music that I am most knowledgeable about is rock. I own about 220 CDs of music (causing some of my peers to label me as a "music fanatic"), I buy at least one new CD every week, I regularly attend concerts, and I own Rock band AND Guitar Hero 3-5. Enough said, because if this doesn't make me a knowledgeable fan of rock music, nothing will. I believe that music can really characterize moments in people's lives and add drama, flair, or fun to the monotony of silence. The only problem is determining which music effectively does this for all you rockers out there. That's what I'm here for. Whether you prefer mellow, emotional, heart-warming music or head-pounding, blood-pumping, get-jacked-up-enough-to-run-through-a-brick-wall rock music, there will be something in these blogs for you. Curious as to whether your favorite band delivers on their latest effort? Wondering whether a new album is worth the $10 investment (or anywhere from $11-$15 depending on how long you wait to make your purchase; I, on the other hand, cannot wait past the day a new album comes out)? Looking for new music in general? Look no further. Wonder no more. Turn curiosity to definite knowledge and jubilance. Tune in every week on Thursday/Friday to discover the inside scoop on 1-3 of the latest releases. Since I am only starting this blog now, and since there have been quite a few interesting new releases this month, I'm going to go through SIX new albums that are sure to draw attention. Aren't you lucky? For more information on some of the bands I will be reviewing, check out the info tab of my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?success=1&id=1587418222) or myspace (http://www.myspace.com/68676271) page. One last thing to remember is that as a lover of music, I enjoy discussing opinions on music with other people, so feedback is a great thing! Thank you everyone, and rock on. On to Skillet.
