Skate the Razor,
Both Friend and Foe,
Greetings.


You saw it here first!
The New She Loves Jesus Live, all digitally re-mastered for the YouTube generation. Watch Now and Be Amazed!


She Loves Jesus recorded live in Buffalo, New York

Originally filmed by Ralph Burgess aka Rip Starly during a live performance in front of a packed house at Sinbad’s, in Buffalo New York.

As promised, the video kicks a whole bunch of backside, so watch it over and over, and of course, show it to all of your friends, That’s what it’s for.

Oh, and remember, we’re not done yet! We also have videos for Stranger and Sleeping With Fire, both currently undergoing treatment. Both should be ready for action in a few days or so.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

Skate The Razor Videos Coming Soon!

Skate the Razor,
Both Friend and Foe,
Greetings.



They’re Coming!


The new, digitally restored and re-mastered versions of Skate the Razor’s classic music videos are nearly here!

It’s amazing! These great videos now look better than ever. If only Rip, our loyal friend and video director were still around to see his hard work appear on YouTube and the likes. He would have been quite proud.

Unfortunately, Rip recently passed away of heart failure, and we had to complete this project without his priceless input. Needless to say, the newly restored videos would have turned out much differently had he been around to guide us through the maze of memories.

Nick and I ran into a few obstacles, but ultimately, if proved to be less stressful than we’d imagined. I have been contacting the guys to keep them up to date on our progress, and I suspect when they actually see this stuff, they’re going to be stoked in a big way.

The videos include our single, ‘Stranger‘, as well as Rip’s first real effort, ‘Sleeping with Fire‘, which he created entirely without the aid of computer software. For years, he had wanted to go back and re-edit the video. I think he would be pleased with the results.

My favorite is the live video for ‘She Loves Jesus’ which was filmed before packed house at Sinbad’s in Buffalo, New York. This was a big show for our homeboys, so we always had a great time, and this particular night was no exception.

Check back again in a day or two, or try looking on YouTube, perhaps.
Any day now, my friends… any day.

The End of Summer

Skate the Razor,
Both Friend and Foe,
Greetings.


It was indeed, a long, hot summer. Nick has returned, and we have acquired some new hardware since my last entry. The difference should be felt within the next day or so, as we will be uploading the original Skate the Razor videos, for free of course.

Unfortunately, Skate the Razor has simply not been a priority of mine as of late, but I am hoping to dedicate more time to the project in upcoming weeks. There is always much to do. We have begun production on a video for Judgment Day, but it’s still a long way from being finished.

The winter holidays are nearly upon us once again, and this year, with the economy slipping, we can expect the full court press. Still, we hope to offer free cd’s, t-shirts and other fun stuff before the year is out, so be sure to visit again soon.

Thirteen Things An Aging Rock Musician Should Never Do In Public (Revisited)

Skate the Razor,
Both Friend and Foe,
Greetings.



I have compiled a list of thirteen (newish like) things an aging rock musician should never, never, ever do again...
at least not with the door unlocked.
Enjoy.

NEVER NEVER NEVER:

1. Grow your hair back down to your shoulders, unless you happen to be Britney Spears, who has a damn good excuse, or Jon Duff, who doesn't, but looks cool anyway). Save yourself the embarrassment... leave it short, like a book report.

2. Get a second job moonlighting at Sam Goody’s. You are not hip, in spite of your recent hip surgery. Leave that line of work for the experts… teenagers. Here's a word of advice... a 'flat screen', and a 'flat-line' are not the same thing.

3. Sing about getting drunk and chasing groupies around at the Implodium. That whole shtick is now the domain of modern FM country radio.

4. Wear a one piece jump suit to the Van Halen re-union concert at the Implodium. Face it, little dreamer, uni-tards are not retro cool, old school, or not.

5. Play air-guitar every time 'Little Dreamer' comes on the radio, even when driving seventy on the toll-way, (like say, en rout to the VH re-union at the Implodium).

6. Hold a lit cigarette lighter aloft whenever 'Aint Talkin' 'bout Love' comes on the radio.

7. Brag about jamming backstage with former members of Trixter.

8. Never take all of your old backstage passes, (not even Trixter) with you to Parent Teacher conferences.

9. Brag about hanging out backstage with Anson Williams and Donny Most at the 'Happy Days' re-union.

10. Encourage your audience to hold lit cigarette lighters aloft when your band breaks into the opening riff of 'Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love', (This is especially important in small clubs with low ceilings).

11. Brag about all the drugs you partied away back in the eighties.

12. Brag about all the parties you drugged way back in the eighties.

13. Pine for the days when Sammy Hagar still sang with Van Halen.




Good luck with the tour, guys. Yes, you too, David!
