Eddie Van Halen has been hailed as the “Hendrix of his generation.” As the co-founder of the legendary Van Halen, the guitarist popularized the “tapping” technique.

During an appearance on the August 23 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", GREAT WHITE rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Michael Lardie confirmed that he and his bandmates are working on material for the follow-up to 2017's "Full Circle" album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well, every time we get together, we try to flesh out two or three ideas. It's hard to say how many we're gonna get, how big a record it's gonna be or if we're just gonna put out a couple of tunes at a time — we're still deciding all of that — but it's a great process with [new GREAT WHITE singer] Brett [Carlisle] because he is really involved. Even back in the day with [original GREAT WHITE singer] Jack [Russell], as great a singer as he was, sometimes he'd have a little ADHD and not want to sit still very long. So he would kind of not be a part of us hashing out the arrangements and stuff. Brett is there all the time, listening to everything we're doing, making suggestions. So it's a great process. We enjoy his thing. He's such a good little dude, man."

In a new interview with Emilee Capogni, STATIC-X's Tony Campos was asked to name five records that shaped him as a bassist. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "'Kill 'Em All' [by] METALLICA. Cliff Burton's bass solo on that was huge for me. S.O.D.'s 'Speak English Or Die'. Dan Lilker's playing and tone on that was big for me. 'Convicted' by CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER. A hardcore punk band. [Their] bass player Rob Nicholson, now known better as Blasko, his bass playing on that was just fucking sick. And then, believe it or not, 'Hell Awaits' by SLAYER. I had a shitty record player at the time. That's how old I am — I had a record player. And I couldn't really hear what [SLAYER's] Tom [Araya] was playing. So I just doubled the guitars. And that's why I can play a million miles an hour now. 'Cause I was just doing everything the guitar played. And then one more. Probably [RED HOT] CHILI PEPPERS' 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'. That turned me on to the more groove style of bass playing and locking in with your drummer and that whole side of bass playing' Cause before that, all I knew was playing a million miles an hour, roaring the praises of Satan. And then that record turned me on to sitting in a pocket with a drummer and just sitting in a groove. As much as I fucking love playing a million miles an hour, there's something equally satisfying to me in just grooving and locking in with your drummer. It's the two sides of my playing, and that record, I think, turned me on to that style of playing. And then from there, I discovered other bands, like EARTH, WIND & FIRE and PARLIAMENT-FUNKADELIC, INFECTIOUS GROOVES, PRIMUS — that other side of bass playing for me."

During August 22 appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", Michael Anthony was asked if he has been in contact with Alex Van Halen since the former VAN HALEN bassist launched a tour with singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist Joe Satriani and drummer Jason Bonham that focuses largely on the music of VAN HALEN. Michael responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "No, I haven't. In fact, the last time I tried to get a hold of Alex, I tried to get a hold of him on his birthday in May, and I did not hear back from him. So, I don't know. I didn't wanna push it or keep trying to get a hold of him or whatever. I figured he knew that I tried to get ahold of him, I think, so I just kind of left it at that. God, at this point, I'm just waiting for his book to come out, so I can read that."

What exactly is garage rock? No, it’s not as simple as rock music recorded in someone’s garage. By definition, the genre can be described as raw rock and roll, particularly the type that became popular in the 1960s. It’s often lo-fi, beachy, and fuzzy with punk or proto-punk elements. Though, these six garage rock albums have other elements that make them stand out in the genre.
