By ELVA AGUILAR | Sep. 11, 2012Eleven years ago, nearly 3,000 people died when four hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., and into a field in Shanksville, Pa.

"Gas, grass or ass: no one gets bands for free"
By ADRIEN D'ANGELO | Sep. 9, 2012On stage, it's a glorious hazard. The shake and rattle of strings as precise increments of wavelength dictate the harmonic spurs and groove pockets. The struggle to hear a single note while siphoning 120 decibels of sound in the opposite direction.
