Psyfari is a 3 day music festival. Music at this festival range from old school Australian punk outfits like the bennies to some hardcore freaky deaky psytrance. The festival itself is very much run by the community as without the volunteers and musicians from around the world putting their hands up the festival just wouldn't exist. It is an all ages event although it is mainly people over the age of 18 who actually attend. The price of tickets range between $145 and $210 depending on when you decide to purchase. The ticket does not guarantee entry in the festival as stated in the disclaimer 'dick heads will not be tolerated' as this is a family friendly festival. The festival needs people of all skill sets and backgrounds to keep running year after year, so if this sounds like something you be interested in click on the link below.

I WANT TO BE CLICKED!

The Best guitar solo player !!! SLASH !!!

Many people would say Slash could never be as great as some legends, such as Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, but I beg to differ. Look at the quality of his work with Guns and even thereafter. Many of the tunes he wrote with Guns still hold up today and are popular with the younger generation: Sweet Child, Paradise City, and Welcome to the Jungle, November Rain, & more. Then in the 2000's he brings rock back to mainstream for a period with his new band Velvet Revolver with hits: Fall to Pieces, Slither, The Last Fight, & more. Many of these others may have influenced and created many things he uses, but the facts show he has learned how to use them better. He may not necessarily make more complex music all the time, but it doesn't have to be.

I mean most people's argument that Hendrix is better is just because he invented things, that His riffs and solos are beautiful. If there is a throne for rock guitarist, then Jimmy Page should pass his to slash. His playing style and tone influence a lot of young inspiring guitarist. He owes much from Page, Hendrix and other elder player but he create a style that make him equal to stand shoulder to shoulder to his idol. For him it's not about selling millions of records or astounding ticket revenues. It is always about how to make a very distinguish art of rock music. He is not part of the popular world... He is more a legend. He has a very good attitude as well. For him it's not about showing off dexterity... It is about how to make the song beautiful. But again there is not any number one guitarist... We have to share this world with everyone else. For me he is number 1 guitar player and someone who inspired me to pick up the guitar!!

I Love Metallica !



Metallica is an American heavy metal band formed in October 1981. With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, they are the most commercially successful heavy metal act in history. They are also the seventh biggest act in America. After building a following through its role in the development of heavy metal in the 1980s, the band broadened its audience in the early 1990s. Accordingly, the band stood as the most commercially visible example of the metal genre for most of that decade. However, with vastly increased commercial success came stylistic changes that arguably abandoned their classic thrash metal roots and fostered accusations of "selling out" by some long-time fans. Many also feel that Metallica's 1999-2001 stances against Internet file sharing deeply damaged their reputation. In spite of this, the band has continued to be tremendously commercially successful. 

In 2003 Metallica released their 8th studio album, entitled St. Anger, a collection of the most aggressive music they had written in a decade, to deeply divided critical reviews and comparatively mediocre sales figures, though their 2004 "Madly in Anger with the World" tour in support of the album remained very successful. Metallica's next album, Death Magnetic, was released on September 12th, 2008, to some positive feedback. While few would say that Death Magnetic highhandedly brought Metallica back to their thrash metal origins, many would agree that the album combined elements of their newer releases with cues from their classic albums. Unfortunately, the album was marred by poor production; how ironic that their "comeback" album is best appreciated via digitally pirating rips from the better sounding Guitar Hero audio tracks.
