WATCH THE PREMIERE EPISODE OF METAL INJECTION’S LOUDER EDUCATION, FEATURING RICHARD CHRISTY

Last week, our buds over at Metal Injection announced a killer new web series, Louder Education, which follow hosts Alex Skolnick (Testament, duh), Chris “Tomato” Harfenist (Sound of Urchin), and a different special guest every week as they speak to the students at T.H.O.R. (Tomato’s House of Rock) about the music business and artistic growth, and, of course, lead “a kick-ass jam with the kids.” Now the debut episode has arrived, and while I freely admit that I’m biased, I think the Injectioneers have really outdone themselves. The guest for the debut episode is the great, always affable Richard Christy, and it should go without saying that even if you’re not a kid (“You never grow up when you’re into metal” Christy asserts), you can learn a lot from watching this.

Stay tuned to Metal Injection for future episodes of Louder Education, which will feature appearances by members of Anthrax, Testament, Gwar, Dying Fetus, and Death Angel. MI is also teaming up with Peavy and Mr. Skolnick to give away a free amp; go here for details. And finally, don’t forget that Alex Skolnick will be doing a signing at the MetalSucks/Vertebrae 33 booth at New York Comic Con next month. If you live in the area, come on by and hang out for awhile, won’t you?
