Have you heard Lewis Black’s latest release, “The Carnegie Hall Performance?” If not, I suggest you pick up that album and give it a listen before you sit down by the fire to read his latest book, “Nothing’s Sacred.” I say that because, for the most part, the book is the same as his stand […]

Ten Years After was formed in 1967 and who would have thought that they’d be making music almost 40 years later? But, that’s exactly what they’re doing. Original members Leo Lyons, Chick Churchill, Ric Lee and newcomer Joe Gooch have put together an exceptionally strong album that’s fresh and modern while, at the same time, […]

(Rykodisc) This is a DVD of the above-mentioned guy who was a comedian that has sadly passed away. I had never heard of him, but from watching this he seemed pretty funny. The production isn’t the greatest nor is the quality, but that is no big deal as the laughs and the way this guy […]

(Comedy Central Records) Lewis Black is introduced. The audience goes crazy. This is so fucking stupid. It’s just not right. He doesn’t belong in Carnegie Hall and neither do his fans. On that note, the show begins and for the next 80 plus minutes, Carnegie Hall becomes his world. Hang on and enjoy the ride […]

The Seven Witches/Wasp tour made a stop at Crocodile Rock in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which is where this interview was conducted. I got to the club a bit early…a bit too early as the guest list wasn’t at the door when I arrived. So, I had to wait…and, during that time, I wasn’t sure if I […]

Let’s name-drop a few movies that you might have seen Harland Williams in. “Dumb & Dumber,” “Down Periscope,” “The Whole Nine Yards,” “Freddy Got Fingered” and “Robots,” he was the voice of Lug. There’s more to mention. But, those are the ones that I’ve seen. I can’t say that I’m familiar with his stand-up comedy. […]

(Comedy Central Records) I can review this release with one line. All I need to tell you is that Daniel Tosh is funny as hell. “True Stories I Made Up” is so freakin’ funny, I almost pissed myself because I was laughing so hard. His comedy style features a little bit of everything. He does […]

This 3 CD/1 DVD release is like havin’ sex without havin’ an orgasm. Since I’m not one for foolin’ around, I decided to go straight for the orgasm…meaning…I decided to watch the DVD first. Watchin’ this release was like not being able to get it up right before you’re gettin’ ready to bump ugly. In […]

I’m a huge fan of stand-up comedy. There’s a lot of people out there who I happen to enjoy listening to. However, to be honest with you, Bill Hicks, who passed away more than a decade ago, is someone I’m not familiar with. From what I understand, portions of this recording were previously released as […]

Spiders & Snakes is a band that shouldn’t need an introduction. They’ve been around for more than a decade and they’ve been putting out quality music for the past fifteen years and their current album, “Hollywood Ghosts,” is no different. You get the best of both worlds with this release. Not only do you get […]

“It’s the mother-fuckin’ Kottonmouth Kings, bitch!” An album review is written to hype a new release. You read what someone else has to say to form your opinion. Not today. You’re not gonna find it here. Do you wanna know why? Okay, sure, I’ll give you an explanation. Check this out. The Kottonmouth Kings have […]

Interview by The Troll “The Troll” is a pseudonym of the late Paul Autry I don’t get excited about too many things. Making fun of handicapped people, porno, Nikolai vodka and, of course, Martin Lawrence movies. However, when I was told that I would be doing an interview with GWAR’s Oderus Urungus, I was beyond […]

The first interview I did with Kittie was featured on this website. The second interview was featured in another publication. This interview was the first to feature the entire band and, once again, we’re proud to present Kittie to the Ballbuster readers. I was a little late in getting to the venue, which was kind […]

You know, we live in a world where you have to watch what you say because you might offend someone. We see it in the media all the time. Someone famous might make a joke or give an opinion and, all of a sudden, all these people come out, bitchin’ and moanin’ about how offended […]

I caught a Bret Michaels show in Berwick, Pennsylvania at a place called Pepper’s. I was supposed to be on the guest list. But, after standing in line for about 30 minutes, my name was nowhere to be found on either list that they had at the front door. Not a good way to start […]

STARRING: Jennifer Schwartz, Hilary Rubens, Steve McDonald, Tracy Lea, Jeff McDonald, Kim Pilkington, Janet Housden, Michael F. Glass. I was at a loss as to how I should review this film and, in doing so, I formed two different opinions. First of all, if you’re just an average movie fan, one who goes to the […]

I was supposed to interview members of Kittie for BallBuster Magazine right before the release of their debut album and, on the day of the interview, I had to call it off because I came down with a very bad fever. A short time later, Kittie exploded on to the scene and, well, the rest […]

Firehouse had to cancel out the night before this show went down due to a problem with their schedule. That’s rock ‘n’ roll for you. But, these things happen and you can’t blame the band. Hopefully, they’ll come through this area again because a lot of people wanna see them. They’ve got a good following […]

King Diamond is a man who needs no introduction. His career as a solo artist and with Mercyful Fate is legendary. The music that he has created over the years has never been duplicated. He is truly one of the most unique individuals, both as a person and as a musician, that has ever graced […]

Here’s a magazine that might not appeal to everybody. Personally, I do find it to be a rather interesting read. But, it’s obvious that the editor is a christian and the magazine tends to be a combination of information and personal faith, which does give it a unique personality. But, as I sat here reading […]

First of all, I have to be honest here…I’m not into the musical style that’s featured in this publication. After reading through this, I saw very little that I would wanna add to my CD collection. But, then again, when someone does their own magazine, it’s usually based around the editor’s own personal tastes or […]

Magazine size, newspaper print publication that seems a little thin. But, it’s loaded with information and, for those of you who are interested in knowing just what’s out there, what’s hot and what’s not, this publication is a very worth read. Let’s examine the issue I have before me, which is number fourteen. Excellent cover […]

No matter where you go, I’m sure you’re able to find a free music publication lying around somewhere. They’re not hard to find because every state has ’em. If there’s a local music scene, there’s a local music magazine that will tell you about it. Keeper Magazine can be found in Southern California and it […]

The road to ruin…that’s what I would call this trip, which would take us, roughly, 250 miles from home. It all began on Friday night at two in the morning…that’s when we hit the road. It was a five hour drive to Tune Town Arena in Titusville, Pennsylvania, where eleven different bands were waiting to […]

Live from New York….. John Belushi was an extremely talented actor who lived his life to the extreme and, in the end, he paid the ultimate price for it. On March 5th, 1982, Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose. It was one of the most tragic stories Hollywood ever produced. Most people know […]

Gullifty’s Underground, February 12th

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK ON THE SUBJECT OF MUSIC. As a music journalist, there are people out there who are under the impression that I know everything about every band that ever was. I do have a rather extensive knowledge about music, but, I DO NOT know it all. I felt I should explain that […]

Vocalist Jizzy Pearl puts down the microphone and picks up a pen and, out of his twisted imagination, comes a book, “I Got More Crickets Than Friends.” While he might not rank up there with the likes of Stephen King, he does manage to keep you entertained from page one all the way to page […]
