Darkest Hour Guitarist, Mike Schleibaum, Launches Online Advice Column on AsktheDude.net

Darkest Hour co-founder and guitarist, Mike Schleibaum, has launched a new online advice column, called AsktheDude.net.

"I always try to save and answer every email I get as a band member. Eventually I began to see that I could just post the answers in an advice blog or column, and well, AskTheDude was born."

A little fun, and mostly serious, Schleibaum draws on his 13 years of touring, recording, partying, and writing (plus a little known degree in Social Work from George Mason University) to answer all those burning questions out there.

"Let's face it, after all these years, I've probably made all the mistakes for you."

Along for the ride is long time tour manager and road legend Tito Picon. Tito will kick off a guest advisors section along with a "From the Road" interview page. His first interview, with Guitarist Nergal of black/death metal giants Behemoth, is up now.

Check it out, maybe you're having trouble booking your first show, maybe your bassist's girlfriend wants to manage the band, or maybe you just want advice on the fastest way to learn the solo to ‘Crazy Train'. Whatever they are, send your questions to thedude@askthedude.net.

"The Dude" will be taking your questions live and jamming some tunes on XM Radio's killer metal station, Liquid Metal Channel #42 (if you have direct TV tune in to number 841). If you don't have XM you can download the free trial. It's good for 14 days. Make sure to call in toll free (866) 466 9656 with your band questions, problems, or opinions at 4:30 PM EST Monday May 12th.
