Keith Richards:
He's acknowledged as perhaps the greatest rhythm guitarist in rock & roll, but Keith Richards is even more legendary for his near-miraculous ability to survive the most
debauched excesses of the rock & roll lifestyle. His prodigious consumption of drugs and alcohol has been well documented, and would likely have destroyed anyone with a less amazing endurance level. On-stage with the Rolling Stones, he epitomized guitar-hero cool as the quiet, stoic alter ego to Mick Jagger's extroverted frontman, a widely imitated image made all the more fascinating by his tightrope-walking hedonism. Yet that part of Richards' mystique often overshadows his considerable musical legacy. Arguably the finest blues-based rhythm guitarist to hit rock & roll since his idol Chuck Berry, Richards knocked out some of the most indelible guitar riffs in rock history, and he did it so often and with such apparent effortlessness that it was easy to take his songwriting skills for granted ...

The official home page for Numavox Records and Kerry Livgren - with Warren Ham, Jamie and Chris Kearney, Bleu Adams, Jabberwockie, AD and Michael Gleason.
Founded in 1994 by Kerry Livgren, Numavox records started as the primary label for his composition and recording projects following his work with Kansas. After moving from Atlanta Georgia back to his childhood home of Topeka, Kansas, Kerry followed the label formation with the construction of a new recording facility.
Numavox's studio occupies a large barn on Livgren's farm. While the outside may look like other buildings in the area, hay is the last thing you'll find inside. Featuring a spacious live room, vocal booth and cavernous control room, the studio provides a focal point for Kerry's own musical work, as well as his work with other artists.
The Numavox catalog includes work from Kerry and other artists, and related projects are distributed through Numavox. In this way, the label serves not only a role for its artists, but as a nexus for others who work with them. Combining work with his label, his music, outside projects and other artists, Numavox records and its studio are always busy—sometimes almost too busy for Kerry, who also balances his farm, study and family life in one environment.
This past year saw the release of The Best of Kerry Livgren, celebrating two decades since his first solo album. A contemporary retrospective, the CD highlighted his diverse songwriting and composition, both past and current. Proto-KAW, an album of Kerry's songs performed by Kansas II (the band which preceeded the familiar Kansas), was released later in 2002 by Cuneiform records, to wide acclaim. The sequel, an album of newly recorded songs by the original members, was released in April of 2004 on Inside Out records ...

a T-Rex Story
Our mission is to:
Provide musicians with extremely good professional gear, for medium money.
Our general goal is to:
- Maintain a complete line of pedals for guitar players
- Maintain a complete line of pedals for bass players
Our plan (July 1st,2005 - June 30th, 2006) is to release 7 new pedals:
- BassJuice. Smooth, delicious bass distortion. Was released mid july 2005
- M๘ller. Overdrive pedal with separate boost, will be released mid nov. 2005
- FuelTank. The Power Supply! Gives 9 volt DC, 12 volt DC and 12 volt AC. Comes with all cables, at the end of 2005
- Reverb pedal. Revolutionary warm vintage analogue reverb. Early 2006
- Death Distortion pedal. (Heavy Metal)
- Vibe. Development is taking place. Jimi Hendrix gave the original sound
- Bass Compressor. Same technology as the reverb. Transparent and vintage.
T-Rex was founded as a private company by Lars Dahl and Sebastian Jensen back in 1996. These two guys was thrilled by the MIDI standard and MIDI technology. They believed, that they could build some of the best MIDI control gear. And they did.
The first issue of the T-Rex BigFoot MIDI board was yellow. The board could control more MIDI units. Later came the T-Rex Mac1 MIDI controller build for the 19 inch rack. Lots os loops, VCA control, mixer etc. Using the BigFoot, you could now control the Mac1 placed in the rack, which again controlled almost everything mounted.
The best MIDI setup gear was sold to a lot of danish professional guitar players, back in the nineties. Most of them still use it. But the time for rack gear was running out. Players were buying more and more effect pedals. Everybody was moving away from the rack towards pedals.

Marty Friedman has sold over 10 million albums with the multi-platinum band Megadeth. He has also a dedicated following for his own solo albums which stylistically range from orchestral soundtrack style music to furious aggressive rock, with the common thread being Marty`s unique and tasty sense of melody. His latest album is called `Music For Speeding` and it marks his solo debut with the heavy hitting major label Universal Japan as well as Steve Vai`s Favored Nations label in the US. Marty has toured the world several times over very successfully with Megadeth. Along with touring, he is in high demand to do music/guitar seminars and clinics all over the U.S., Asia, Europe and South America, which he has done hundreds to date. Marty is also a regular columnist for Guitar World magazine, Young Guitar magazine (Japan) and Burrn Magazine in which he writes a column in Japanese, a reader favorite. Marty has designed his own signature model guitar with Jackson Guitars (the KE-1) that has been selling consistently since it was put on the market. He has just begun an endorsement relationship with Ibanez. His new 'Marty Friedman model' guitar will make its world debut in Oct '05 at the Tokyo Music Show.
Along with doing his solo performances around the world, Marty is currently touring and recording with Japanese mega-star Aikawa Nanase.
Before joining Megadeth in Feb.1990, Marty was in a band called Cacophony, which released 2 albums (among their indie label's highest selling) and toured the U.S. and Japan. This band highlighted the potent guitar playing of Marty and fellow guitarist Jason Becker (who was to join David Lee Roth's band and record an album with him in 1990). Marty has received extremely high acclaim and many awards around the world for his unmistakably `Marty-esque` way of playing the guitar.
Marty is from Washington D.C. originally but has lived in many places including Hawaii, Germany and California, giving him an odd and interesting approach to making his music. He currently resides in Tokyo.
CAREER POINTS
Received 27 gold and platinum records from around the world
Received 5 Grammy nominations
Headlined 'Rock in Rio' in front of 140,000 in Brazil
Sold out Madison Square Garden (along with many other venues) on the 'Clash of the Titans' Tour
Co-produced his 2nd solo album,' Scenes', with Golden Globe award winner Kitaro
Megadeth's 'Countdown to Extinction' debuts at #2 and reaches double platinum in the U.S.
Countless worldwide TV performances including Britain's "Top of the Pops", live TV on Arsenio Hall (twice), David Letterman (twice), Jon Stewart show, many MTV and VH1 specials,
Japan`s most popular daytime TV show, `Waratte Iitomo` as well as `Love Love Aishiteiru`, 'Music Fair', 'Pop Jam' and 'Yume no Ongakukan'.
Megadeth does a sold out stadium tour of Europe with Metallica
'Youthanasia' is the band's best seller worldwide and the tour was a huge success, extending to new territory like Tel Aviv and Prague ...
