POSTS STORIES REELS

What hasn't been said about this show? @systemofadown threw it back to the early 2000's with @korn_official and put on a celebration of nu metal, blast beats and Armenian-infused political philosophy to the delight of a sold-out stadium.

It was like combing through every chapter of my life and realizing how much of it involved their influence and music. Even 20 years later, their messaging rings true to a generation they helped shepard. Their messaging has never been truer than it is in present day, and the adoration for them from the entire crowd was in full display.

The crowning piece was a heartfelt and powerful tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, featuring a cover of Snowblind they haven't played live in over 20 years. A little careless whisper too for good measure. I've never heard a full stadium sing in unison like I heard it on Thursday night.

I wish I could have captured the final embrace between the whole band - the most sentimental image I've witnessed live from a band I and so many others love so dearly. Pure joy. Pure love. Pure passion. Pure system.

Thank you @serjtankian thank you @daronmalakian thank you @johndolmayan_ and thank you @shavoodadjian

Thank you System. We love you so much. Please make new music and come back very soon ❤️ by @mdigiac7

RIP OZZY <3

The closer of our set from 3rd Bike Weekend on 07/19/2025. We opened the tribute with Osbourne's "I Love You All" after a heartfelt recognition of his profound influence on the worlds of metal and Rock. Thank you to everyone involved in pulling this event together. Thank you to the @leopardmonks for inviting us, to @notsofastandre for the amazing footage, and of course to @ozzyosbourne for absolutely everything.

Not too bad for the first live show on guitar in 12 years!

Hitmen GOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLL

Boy I've said it a lot so far this season and the boys are firing on all cylinders at all levels!!! The Elites are injected with a renewed motivation this year on top of new talent. Ditto for the Premier team, who's 5-2 record to start this season is almost as stark of a resurgence as the NCDC team. Last year the NCDC's Jersey Hitmen got off to an 0-6 start, this season they're a league-best 8-0 and show only signs of improvement.

Everyone's on the upswing and it's been a much-needed rejuvenation for us all.

Enjoy some clips from what's been a VERY fun last two weeks.

Oh, and if you're in the area maybe come by to see some of our guys in action. Just walk right into @icevaultarena and find the corresponding rink for NCDC, Premier or Elite USPHL action.

By the way, my playlists are all public! Search my name on Spotify and give them a follow if you like what you hear!

Thank you so much @greenday for the memory of a lifetime. A tribute to past classics and their two most defining albums. Watching families pass their music down to the future and celebrate their music together was something I'll always cherish seeing. My first and possibly only Green Day live experience was everything I wanted from them. #greenday #greendaylive #dookie #americanidiot #saviorstour #greendaylive2024 #citizensbankpark #phillies #philadelphia #philly #rock #punk #dookie30 #americanidiot20 #live #mosh #pit by @mdigiac7

Some vocal sessions from the basement, it got raw and I'm not just talking about my vocal cords right now.

In order:

- Straight for the Sun, @lambofgod
- Six, @allthatremains
- I'll Keep Coming, lowroar
- Resistance, @zaoband
- My neighbors hearing these practice sessions

See you guys on Friday ;)

(We're not playing any of these dw)
