Years later, I saw Eddie play live. He ripped through “Eruption” at twice the speed, and I stood there in tears, knowing I’d never witness anything like it again. He was one of a kind. Five years on, we still miss you, Eddie.

I still remember going to my friend’s house, Neil Lewis, the local great guitarist. He put on Van Halen I, and I had no idea what I was hearing. “Eruption” hit, and my jaw dropped. It was alien, wild, pure creative genius. That moment changed my life.

Five years ago today, we lost one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar, Eddie Van Halen. His playing didn’t just inspire generations, it redefined what was possible. He made the impossible sound effortless, and the joyful.

The finale brought it all together. A packed arena singing in unison, Gaga at full power, and us walking out buzzing. A perfect birthday celebration, a wonderful family night, and an artist at the top of her game. 🙌

From Just Dance to Bad Romance Gaga’s energy was unmatched. Then she hushed 20,000 people with Shallow and A Million Reasons. Our daughter sang along to so many songs, her face lit up with joy, the best gift of all. ❤️

I’ve long been a Gaga fan. One of the two times I’ve been to the Grammys was when she performed with Elton John. Since then her jazz projects with Tony Bennett and countless live shows have proven she’s the real deal. 🌟

We celebrated our daughter’s birthday in style at Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball opening night at the O2. Kasia and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to mark the occasion, a family night we’ll never forget. 🎂🎶✨

In light of Rick Davies’s passing, we’re revisiting a past video celebrating one of his greatest achievements, Breakfast in America. His brilliance feels more meaningful than ever. Watch the breakdown here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK-S...

Albums That Changed Music: Supertramp - Breakfast In America

The first time I heard Breakfast in America as a kid, I was completely blown away. Its brilliance — the arrangements, the performances, the sheer heart of it — remains undeniable. Rick’s legacy is woven into every note of that record.

From Crime of the Century to Breakfast in America, Rick Davies shaped the sound of an era. His blend of jazz-inflected progressions, bluesy drive and lyrical wit made Supertramp one of the most distinctive voices in rock history.

Rick Davies has left us at 81. Founder of Supertramp, his smoky baritone, soulful piano and sharp songwriting gave us timeless classics that still echo today. His music was a constant companion to millions and will continue to inspire generations #riprickdavies #supertramp

The @solidstatelogic Revival 4000 feels like being back at the console that defined the records I grew up on. The mic pre bites, the dynamics give drums that classic SSL thwack, and vocals jump out of the speakers. Pure magic. Get it here: sweetwater.sjv.io/POZvveUsing

The Lauten Eden LT 386 has 3 distinct voicings:
F for “Forward” – bright, smooth, and perfect for rock
N for a neutral LDC tone
G for darker, warmer vibes
Marc’s favourite?
F – “my go-to for rock and roll.”

When Marc Martel recorded vocals for our Bohemian Rhapsody recreation, he reached for one mic—
the Lauten Audio Eden LT 386.
"It's everything I look for in a vocal mic."
What makes it so special?

When I was a kid, my classical & jazz-loving father handed me Queen’s A Night at the Opera and said: “This is worthy.”
That’s how I discovered Bohemian Rhapsody and it changed my life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTJs...
