Extractions: SHRAPNEL RECORDING ARTIST Sweeping 9th Arpeggios I'm personally thrilled to have SHRAPNEL recording artist George Bellas as guest columnist at the site. Thanks a million, George, for participating...can't wait to hear the new " Ring of Fire " project with George on guitar, vocalist Mark Boals, keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij, drummer Virgil Donati, and bassist Barry Dunaway! Be sure to check out George's fabulous instructional series available at www.GeorgeBellas.com the following bio material from GeorgeBellas.com Chicago native George Bellas started playing guitar at age 7 on a Classical guitar his father had bought him. His influences include: Franz Liszt, J.S.Bach, L.V.Beethoven, Paganini, Debussey, Yngwie Malmsteen, Walter Piston, Ted Greene, Michael Schenker, Dream Theater, Magellan, Jason Becker, Robin Trower, Montrose, Van Halen, Tony MacAlpine...By the age of 12, George was playing live in local bands while studying Music Theory, Harmony, Rhythm, Counterpoint and Form. Soon after, George began teaching guitar and opened Prodigys School Of Music, during which time he continued to perform and compose. George had an affection for classical counterpoint and Odd Rhythms very early on. George's compositions include progressive odd-meter/exotic scale pieces as well as simple straight forward rockin' vocal tunes and Classical Orchestral/Soundtrack Music. George exhibits great technical prowess and a beautiful sense of melody and finesse. George eventually got his first 4-track recorder and began recording day in and day out. George's catalog of music began to grow very rapidly.

Extractions: This is a live DVD almost faithfully recorded with 19 songs for 93 minutes from Shibuya On Air East on February 21 of this year, the last day of the Japan tour. It was the highlight to see outstanding technicians such as Mark Boals (vo), Vitalij Kuprij (key), Tony MacAlpine (g), Philip Bynoe (b) and Virgil Donati (dr) letting out their superlative techniques without leaving any over. I can't believe the day would come to be able to see "Fairytales Won't Die"! The DVD comes with special features such as the interview with the members and "Bringer Of Pain" which you can enjoy with DVD's multi angle options. The double CD album with an unreleased song plus the songs on the DVD is also on sale. (Translated from Japanese) This is the double live recording which included the Japan show which was held in February by the neo classical prominent group with Tony MacAlpine. We can really feel their amazing ability because it was such a vivid recording that caught the heat at the hall which was jam-packed. It is the album that will make you simply impressed like " human being can do to such things? " The DVD with full of special images is also available. (Translated from Japanese)

Extractions: At first hearing the average listener may be unaware of the many links between rock music and classical music. One might remember a few examples of "rockin' the classics" and pass them off as interesting anomalies. However the pervasive influence of classical music on rock music has grown from a long line of precedents. Many of the examples noted below are detailed in my 1985 discography Rockin' the Classics and Classicizin' the Rock , its first supplement (1991) and its second supplement (2000). Each popular style of music in its day has produced versions of the classics. Many composers throughout music history have delighted in adding a "new" sound to familiar melodies. The range and quality varies widely in these attempts to blend the music of the past with the sound of the present and the future. Nonetheless the classical "hook" draws in the listener with either distinct or vague familiarity. Thus even the early days of ragtime and vaudeville produced their own variations on the classics, though we have few recordings. From the 1920s through the 1940s, James Price Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, and Fats Waller "jazzed up" the classics, alongside the Big Band versions of Paul Whiteman, Duke Ellington, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Les Brown, Gene Krupa, Woody Herman, John Kirby, Freddie Martin, and Stan Kenton.
