These songs were written and recorded with Daniel Rey after the Ramones broke up in ’96 and mostly completed before Joey’s tragic death in April, 2001.

Heavy Metal – Geomatrix – Review

Seeing as there are mostly big names here, this is a good chance to see how the old metal dudes are doing without having to buy their latest release.

Sex Pistols – There Is No Future – Review

March 29, 2002

Pioneers of destruction like Sex Pistols, GG, Dead Boys, and Iggy, upon revisiting, words like “primal” and “raw” are replaced with “ugh” and “shitty sounding.”

February 22, 2002

Two new songs, a sampling of all the solo records, and a shitload of unreleased tracks/outtakes that illustrate this man’s ability to stretch the metal genre.

Corrosion Of Conformity – Live Volume – Review

Corrosion of Conformity – America’s Volume Dealer – Interview

April 1, 2001

An interview with guitarist Woody Weatherman

Halford – Resurrection – Review

September 1, 2000

It’s a great band backing a great man, who’s biggest fault here is that he’s made a safe, predictable career move, Resurrection containing no surprises.
