On the Road with Chuck Ragan

I had the pleasure of a sit-down with Chuck Ragan when he passed through San Antonio. I gotta tell you, I cover a lot of bands in some small, divey venues, but this was hands down the smallest – and darkest – venue I’ve ever covered, as he was playing the basement of the club. It was a bit rough, to say the least, but hanging out with Ragan before the show was a chance to really pick the brain of an artist and talk about art and making music and keeping hope alive in a sometimes shitty world.

Slideshow from Adler’s Appetite – Steven Adler must be the happiest man I have ever met in my life!

Fangs on Fur at the Gothic Theatre

Yes, I am really this far behind, as real life has intruded on updating this site as much as I want, but here is a set from Fangs on Fur when they opened for the fabulous Horrorpops in Denver last October. I was having serious dark 80′s flashbacks, both during the set and while going through these photos. And that, my friends, is a good thing. Fangs on Fur – Images by Diana Price

Avenged Sevenfold Live

Lighting on this one was tough – very low and super saturated color. Of course, that makes it tougher, but more…atmospheric, right? At least that’s how I console myself with tough lighting conditions. I’m especially fond of this one for some reason – I like the highlight in the glasses, and the flag reflection with the stripes in his jacket. Plus it’s dark and moody compared to some of the super bright shots I get of bands.

Halestorm Rocks Uproar Fest

The Uproar Fest metal crowd – used to dramatic entrances – almost doesn’t notice when Lzzy Hale quietly walks on stage to start the Halestorm set a cappella. As soon as she steps on stage, it’s hard not to think of Pat Benatar, with her shag cut and physical resemblance. And when she starts to sing, it’s impossible not to think of Benatar. This lady’s got the pipes. Halestorm opened the main stage for this years Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Fest, which is a pretty amazing feat, given the band only recorded their first full length album back in 2008. [...]

Social Distortion plays two shows at the Denver Fillmore

Even before he covers one of The Man in Black’s tunes, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out Mike Ness is a huge Johnny Cash fan. The blue-collar, common-man attitude is apparent in his references to being “Born to Lose” and to the incarcerated and down and out. One could make the argument he is this generation’s Johnny Cash, and like that icon of American music, he may have mellowed in some ways…but he definitely gets better with age. When Social Distortion took the stage for the first of two shows here in Denver at the Fillmore October 15, [...]

Airbourne at Uproar Fest

You gotta love these guys.

Strung Out wraps tour in Denver

Sunday night I caught Strung Out at the Ogden Theater here in Denver, which just happened to be the last show of the tour. I had really wanted to set up some promos, but things being as crazy as they have been here at the ranch, wasn’t able to get it all sorted out (new city, new job, moving studio space, new studio launch.) I had never shot the Ogden before, and was pleasantly surprised when not only did someone answer the phone there that afternoon before the show, but they actually knew what was going on, as it was [...]

Hellyeah headlines second stage for Uproar

Metal super-group Hellyeah headlined the second stage of this year’s Rockstar Uproar Fest, whipping metal fans into a frenzy as the main stage was gearing up for the featured bands. The band is Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell, Damageplan bassist Bob Zilla, and former Pantera, Rebel Meets Rebel and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul. They formed in 2001, but as you can imagine, juggling so many bands and schedules put many tour plans on hold till 2006, when the band finally recorded its first, self-titled album, recorded at Chasin’ Jason studio in Dimebag Darrell‘s [...]

Stellar Corpses on tour now

I caught up with the boys in Grand Junction, CO for a little psychobilly fix out in the wild west.
