Well, well, well, its that time again!
Hey all RJ here,
and here we are again! and this week I have decided to look at an unconvetial threesome, the Finnish string threesome Apocalyptica. The name may sound "evil" and "angery" but in truth they are just three normal guys who like to play their cellos.
Having asked around it seems not to many people have actually heard of apocalyptica, but thats to be expected, they arnt the most amin stream band on earth!
so along with my artist of the Week here also provides me with the opportunity to introduce my audience to something new!
so here are my top three songs for Apocalyptica.
1. Hall of the Mountain king (Mozart cover)
2. Not strong enough (feat. Brent smith)
3. I dont care (feat. Adam Guntier)
ok so for now thats it! remember to comment, subscribe, follow question etc!
until next time guys!

so... nothing else matters?
Hey all! RJ here
seeing as last week I did the genre of rock I thought this week would be he geared towards one of the pioneering bands of the 20th and 21st century,and while they maybe controversial, they are an incredible incredible band, they surpass genres and are easily one of the most recognizable bands around METALLICA!
Metallica were formed in 1981 with the combination of Drummer Lars Ulrich, Guitarist/ Vocalist James Hetfield, guitarist Dave Mustaine and Bassist Ron Mcgovney.Mcgovney would leave the band in december 1982 to be replased by Cliff Burton.
Over the last two decades Metallica have released numerous albums, and have gone through several line-up changes, starting in 1982 when Ron Mcgoverny left opening the way for Cliff Burton, who died in a tragic tour bus accident in September 1986 in Sweden, he was replased by Jason Newstead who left in 2001, making him the longest serving bassist in Metallica, currently the postion of bassist it held by Robert Trujillo. Apart from this, Metallica has had two Guitarists, they formed with current Megadeath Vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine, he was quickly replaced by Kirk Hammnett in 1983 causing a huge rift between Mustaine and Metallica.
Thats all for today guys! tune in during the week to catch the album list that Metallica has released over the last 20 years!
See Ya Soon Guys RJ

ITS THE END OF THE WEEK AS WE KNOW IT!
hey guys RJ here,
well here it is the end of week one! so far I know I've been kinda lazy with it , but from here on in its time to get serious!
so for the first topic of the post!
basically music can evoke feelings, this I'll assume most of you know, but depending on the type of music, it will give you a differnet feeling. For some more aggressive music is gives a release, for some it makes them feel aggressive (la duh), but for the genre of the week "rock" which is an inbetween kind of genre it can vary, for one student Killian it " Gives a release from the normal stuff, its like my version of some peoples dance music." For some rock music gives the image of asimpler time, another student interviewed said it made them thinks of elvis and the 50's "because to me he founded the genre".
Now alot of people out there think that all rock sounds the "same" but to these people there seems to be one answer "I'd say there wrong, yes certain things sound similar, but look at the likes of pop" according to the words of one person " pop music is based on easy, catchy tunes, rock is more complicated, more instimental" now it strikes me at this stage that I maybe seen to be ragging on pop, but I'm not, it will get its fair time soon!
so I think for now, until next time this is it!
and remember music is as music lovers do... so be good music lovers!

Can We all "Bop" to Rock?
Hey all, RJ here,
Since this is the first in the long line of Blogs and video blogs that I will be posting I thought I'd start with a bang, ROCK is something we can all enjoy, no matter what, rock has had an influence over every nearly every genre out there, even look at pop, the driven guitar riffs, the BOOMING drums, everything can trace back to rock in the end.
in the words of one a fellow student "you can attach everything to rock, Rock Blues, Rock Metal, Rock Pop, Punk Rock" look at the likes of COLDPLAY, thats a good mixture of pop and rock... now this is the time when I ask you for your views and opinions! If you agree, disagree, or just want to have a bitta of a rant... as long as its not hating just drop it in THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW,
also every week I'll be asking for a comment/ question of the week, choosing the best or funniest and responses! cheers guys talk to you soon guys!

I will be going around my college gathering peoples views on differnet types of music, everyweek I will choose a different person, or type of music, or artist and go around asking people for there views on the subject.
Of course you as my viewing and reading public will be asked for your veiws and the things you want me to review, comments and questions are welcome and encouraged, all I ask is that while you are all allowed your opinions that if there is a specific type of music that you dislike don't leave hate mail, it just puts a bad name to my blog and you will be kicked or banned from the blog if you do leave hate mail!
ok so for now I'll leave you with a link to get you started... so please give me some feed back on this link
