RIP Jani Lane
From the biggest hit song of Jani Lane's old band, Warrant:
Lies that bands tell
That's the topic of a blog post by Alex Skolnick. To be honest, I would not have read it if it's not written by Skolnick, who is my guitar hero (He plays lead in the legendary metal band Testament. And BTW, he also plays jazz) I'm glad that I read it because it's insightful, coming from someone who has been in the music business for so long. What he said makes a lot of sense: bands craft their image carefully and always show you the side they want you to see that would advance their career. I mean, it would be strange if that's not the case!
