Hot Summer Rockin'....til the sun goes down!

About Me

WELCOME ALL DISCIPLES OF ROCK.... I am G-mAnRoCk, otherwise known as Gary! This myspace portal is designed to coax you into the spiralling world of "All That Rock's". Daily viewed and monthly updated; this part of the myspace empire is where it's all happening if you want to celebrate great bands creating great music with real instruments and raw talent. Fortnightly new album release reviews, Myspace Band Focus, Artist Hitlist, Feature Articles and much much more! This is the place to visit if your a headbangin' Rock-ster, a Metalhead or just a hippy indie lover!
A little about moi....I'm a thirties something Mechanical Design Manager with a love for life. My passions are Food, Travel, People and in particular, Music. I'm a self-confessed muso demonstrating a respectable knowledge of music of most genres but particularly in ROCK. I'm also a avid album collector with over 2500 albums from the 60's to modern day; mostly rock. I live in Dunstable (30 miles from Central London), England and love the fresh music scene here, BRITAIN ROCKS!
USA also boasts thousands of excellent bands and artists which is mostly host my favourite styles of rock. Grunge, Stoner(Fuzz) Rock, Southern Rock, Alternative and Metal are all where it's at.
2008 should spawn some brave new bands to the world of music here and in the US. I do feel however that many live events for bands and artists to demonstrate their music are becoming increasingly in demand and expensive. I would like to see more smaller gigs and affordable nights out where we can all enjoy live music without feeling the pinch. I'd also like to see more club nights and venues opening up to live music in Beds and Herts and to encourage more venues becoming live venues in the future. If you have any news or publicity for music events; please comment on this page so every can see.
In this violent twisted sick world of pain, war, poverty, famine and torment; unzip yourself from this evil and listen to some great music. We cannot ignore the plight of our human brothers and sisters, nor can we take for granted the things we have and cherish - FREEDOM. I feel we should all strive to make a better world; but a better world with a good guitar riff to storm the up-rising for peace on our dying planet WE ALL SHARE. - PEACE TO ALL! - G-mAnRoCk
