Igor Presnyakov

Found it just now messing around with the Internet (who doesn't?), and urged myself to post it for all of you:


From his official website:

Born in Moscow, Russia, Igor Presnyakov studied classical music at a nearby academy and would eventually graduate as both a guitarist and a conductor for ensembles.
He relocated to the Netherlands to further his career, which has now spanned over 35 years.
His unique acoustic guitar-style is influenced by various musical genres from Reggae, Rock and Roll, R&B, Country-western, Jazz and even Heavy Metal.
His most noticeable attribute, is his creative style of “beating” the percussion of the song, onto the body of his acoustic guitar while playing.
This replicates the sound of multiple musicians, while only Igor is playing.
While he sometimes sings on many of his original and cover-songs, Igor is more famous for mimicking the vocal parts of a song, into guitar-solos, while often adding a softer, jazzier sound.
Igor’s popularity has risen since he first debuted on Youtube in 2007. He currently has over 89 million views, in addition to his subscribers, which is over 181,000.
Igor is also now officially endorsed by both Takamine guitars and Fender Amplification.


Check out his YouTube Channel!!

Enjoy this new discovery!! Wicked!!

Henry Rollins


These days I've been watching the TV Show Sons of Anarchy with my wife, reaching end of season 3 last night. In the second season, Henry Rollins, played a neo-nazi leader who wanted to succeed in his arian mission against "the good guys". This reminded me some of the songs I have heard of him, some music videos I watched back in the day (Black Flag & Henry Rollins Band), and some of his monologues which I got to know by my brother.

Extracted from Wikipedia:
Henry Rollins (born Henry Lawrence Garfield; February 13, 1961) is an American singer-songwriter, spoken word artist, writer, comedian, publisher, actor, and radio DJ.

After performing for the short-lived Washington D.C.-based band State of Alert in 1980, Rollins fronted the California hardcore punk band Black Flag from August 1981 until mid-1986. Following the band's breakup, Rollins soon established the record label and publishing company 2.13.61 to release his spoken word albums, as well as forming the Rollins Band, which toured with a number of lineups from 1987 until 2003, and during 2006.

Since Black Flag, Rollins has embarked on projects covering a variety of media. He has hosted numerous radio shows, such as Harmony in My Head on Indie 103, and television shows such as The Henry Rollins Show, MTV's 120 Minutes, and Jackass. He had a recurring dramatic role in the second season of Sons of Anarchy and has also had roles in several films. Rollins has also campaigned for various political causes in the United States, including promoting LGBT rights, World Hunger Relief, and an end to war in particular, and tours overseas with the United Service Organizations to entertain American troops.


Definitely, an intense, hard-working, mutherfucking great guy!!!

This is one of the videos I remember watching when I was hooked to MTV:


This song is dedicated to my brothers:
