My Guitar Idols




Eternal Lament
This is an ongoing project for me. It started as an idea to make a musical concept album. The premace was of a musician who fell in love with a vampire, an affair deemed illegal by her peers. (sounds like a Romeo and Juliet, right?) After they confess their love for eachother, he asks her to bite him. He becomes a vampire, and then he has to deal with the differences of being one.
Then the idea progressed. After hearing the soundtracks to the 2nd and 3rd Matrix i decided i wanted to make orchestral/electronic music. The I started listening to Trans Siberian Orchestra, and started wanting to make orchestral/rock music.
Then i said, Hell, lets do it all. The project then became a rock/orchestral/electronic concept album on vampires.
The i was thinking the story was very Bruckheimer-esque, and that it would be awesome as a movie. But musical hardly make it these days. But a musical play...that could work. So Eternal Lament finally became what it is now, a musical of a man who loves music, but loves a vampire more, and the betrayal of his situation, and his eternal love for music.
Any music that i have finished and deemed ready for the public will be posted on music site.

I realize that there was a lot that was left out last night

I completely forgot about a few things that should have been said last night.

First off...I am going to see Queen in concert! Yes, I know...most people are probably going 'Uhm...Freddie Mercury is dead bro...wtf?' Yes, Freddies is dead, and that is a tragedy, but Queen have reunited, choosing Paul Rodgers, ex frontman of Bad Company, to be the lead singer for this, what it looks like, short tour. I say that it appears to be short because there are only two shows in the States, one in New Jersey and one in Hollywood. My Mum woke me up at something like 7 in the morning, asking 'Do you want to go see Queen?', something she frequently does if there is a good show comming through town. My first response, since I wasn't quite awake, was 'Fuck off...Freddie's dead' then I remembred all of the stuff I have been hearing about the tour and the live version of 'Fat Bottomed Girls' that they have been playng that has Paul Rodgers singing. I sat up in bed so fast it was crazy. The seats aren't that good...but I am not expecting my Mum to drop 500 bucks a piece for good tickets. I am okay with the nosebleeds that I had for the Who at the same venue...trust me...they are loud enough at the Hollywood Bowl. I am so psyched to be going to this show.

The second cool thing that happened was that I played live, well...kind of...for the first time in a long while. It was one song for one person show. When Elle was at my house we were talking about music and she said she had never heard the Dave Matthews Band cover of 'All Along the Watchtower', which I love playing along with. So I put the song on and then about 10 seconds into the intro I just grabbed Carmilla off the wall, grabbed the pick and just started playing. Yeah, I messes up a few parts and couldnt make it to the end of the song becuase it is something like 7 minutes long, but it was hillariously fun. I even sang along with a few parts of it. She applauded for me at the end and said she was mentally throwing bras at me. So...I guess I have played live recently, although there wasn't a stage and I was just sitting in the office chair in my room and the audience was a girl sitting on the edge of my unmade bed...but still..it was badass.

Work is boring as usual...and it will maintain it's borring pace until we get more phones in stock, which won't be till Friday. Oh, joy.

I brought a guitar magazine and 'The Historian' for reading material. I am going to go and hit the book...I cam close to finishing it and it is getting quite good.
