Well the rumors of my disappearance are now put to rest. It’s been quite a while since I have contributed anything to the Decibel Geek Army, today breaks the silence “Don’t tell me to turn it down!”. When I first got wind that John Corabi was bringing his “Motley 94 Experience” Tour to Toronto’s Rockpile, […]
Meister Spends Some Time On Skid Row
“Sebastian who?” was a text I received from a friend during the Skid Row concert in Toronto on Wednesday August 20, 2014. He was situated across the Virgin Mobile Mod Club in a different vantage point than I was for the show and this text came by the end of the second song of the […]

Again it’s cold!!! I wake up to a decided chill in the air, very glad that I bought the camping mat last night! The skies are cloudy and threatening rain again, Sweden where is the hot sunny weather that you provided me last year? This is worse than Canada at the moment! After some Decibel […]
The Meister in Sweden 2014: Day Two: The Rock Begins!
Day #1 Schedule I survived the night successfully in my tent, a little chill but overall good. Today is still a little dismal out and there’s a definite chill in the air again.

Nothin’ Quiet ‘Bout This Riot
The Canadian Decibel Geek duo of Wally Norton and Rich Dillon were on the move again last week, taking in another awesome concert show at The Rockpile Bar & Nightclub in Etobicoke, Ontario.

A Canadian Decibel Geek in Sweden – Day #5 & 6-June 8th and 9th, 2013
Well, this is the account of my last day at 2013’s Sweden Rock Festival and what an experience it’s been. So many great bands here, some I’ve been very familiar with and some that I’ve seen before, but there’s also a lot of new music to be discovered here. Bands like Imber, Days of Jupiter, […]
A Canadian Decibel Geek In Sweden….first and second days
Well fellow “geekers”, it looks like I made it safe and sound to my destination in Stockholm. I departed Toronto at about 9:20pm on Monday June 3rd on a rather lengthy flight (a little under 7 hours) in which I busied and amused myself with a nice balance of movie watching, reading a novel, sleep, […]
SLASH Takes Toronto to Paradise City (Concert Review)
Veteran rocker Slash rolled into Toronto to play at The Sound Academy Sunday, September 23, 2012. When I had first heard about the show I had mild interest but was not chomping at the bit to go.
