The Blink-182: We Are No Longer Childish
By:Music Babylon
Quite unbelievable, but the Blink-182 are marking the 12th anniversary of their foundation in 2006. The band can boast eight CD albums’ releases, the1 million USD revenue and making good fathers. It’s exactly the fatherhood, which spawned guys to change their images for the more mature ones. The Blink-182 have given up the childish tricks and have embarked on creating serious music.
The band members treated themselves into new appearances, released the new CD album, dubbed "Enema of the State" and in early summer played a gig at the MTV studio, expecting positive reaction on the new magnum opuses and tunes. According to the band’s front man Tom DeLonge, the results left them satisfied.
Admittedly, the Blink-182 is among few pop-punk bands to play the true music. They stopped falling out with the mass media’s representatives and have won a liable admiration of their fan-base. Presently, the band is engaged in recording new album, giving out concerts every now and then in nightclubs. A bit crucial was a decision to set a ticket price of 1 USD. The guys themselves, however, benefit from it the way they attract larger audience.
We actually should pay them for tolerating our so-called art for such a long period of time, guys joke. Their creations will acquire a new appearance from now on, after a series of reformations. Hopefully, there will be no songs like "What’s My Age Again" and "All The Small Things" any more, but reasonable conclusions on the basis of the previous mistakes.

- 6). Understanding The Purpose Of The Guitar Neck Shim By : Michael Granger
Some guitars will just NOT adjust properly with the standard methods available like the bridge saddles, nut filing adjustments and the ability to set the bow (or lack thereof) of the neck itself. Adding shims to the bolt on neck may be necessary to get the guitar to play properly at all locations up and down the neck.
A nut shim acts as a spacer between the nut and neck raising and lowering the distance between all of the strings at the lower end of the guitar, starting at fret 1 and moving towards the body of the guitar.

- 7). Creating The Perfect Structure For Your Song By : Ian Waugh
You know what they say about rules? Actually they say lots of things about rules but here's two - rules were made to be broken, and you have to know what the rules are before you can break them. While Judge Dredd may not agree with the first, the second is certainly true and nevermore so than in writing a song.
The song structure may not be the first thing you think about when you start writing.

- 10). Visual Kei As a Music World Vision By : Music Babylon
Visual Kei appears to be frequently used in videos and grab audience’s attentions. Visual Kei followers are characterised by a rather stunning, although freak appearance of a striking make-up and elaborate costumes, causing a shock effect.
To recall, for instance, Merlyn Manson, who is among few to follow the style in the US. The trend is popular among modern bands, irrespective of rumours, suggesting that the style suffered no popularity in the USA and Europe.
