That Metal Show!!!

This is a different kind of show in the long list about the Late or Talk Show, because this is not only a show based on interviews, it is a show about the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Music, System and Life with the real members of the band as participants.

"TMS" is host by Eddie Trunk (periodist, music historian, radio personality), Jim Florentine (stand up comedian) and Don Jamieson (stand up comedian). The particular thing, which gives the magic to show, are the several segments and these are:

1.- Interviews with Heavy Metal musicians: in this one the trio aks, debates and talks about life, past and present and other things of the musicians or the band.

2.- The Pick of the Week, in this section this people show or talk about the last news from the differents bands like tours, concerts, books, diaries, new albums or singles, etc.
3.- Stump the Trunk, for me is the most funny and amazing part of the show, because in this time the audience ask to Eddie (that ´s why the name of this segment is Stump the Trunk ) any question about Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Music from all times :) and the best of all, if he doesn´t answer correctly or if he doesn´t know the answer the person, who asked, him has the posibility to put his hand in the Eddie´s Gifts Box and win a lot of price from albums to Rock Band Game with the Guitar :O and obviously the feeling to defeat one of the most knowners of the Music History

4.- Whatever Happened To, here Eddie Jim and Don talk about what happened with some missed bands or musicians, and they tell us about what they (musicians) are doing now
5.- Throwdown, this is a extreme segment where the hosts and guests debate great moments and figures in metal history like what band is the best Iron Maiden vs Judas Priest (in this episode they sayed that Iron Maiden is better than Judas Priest but maybe without JP, Iron Maiden would not exist)

For me this tv show is the greatest thing that men could do...

My Career-Related Website

Now I’m going to write about a real innovation from the ICBM (uchile) to the people who learn anatomy. This is a multimedia atlas with a lot of photos, and animations. But you need to be registered.

The first time I visited this website I had the final test of the subject, but I didn’t know how to use it. One year later I learned to use it and I think this is the best website ever, and the best of all, thanks to this when I have the anatomy practical test I have good marks. I visit this site constantly to study, and when I have a Test I always do all the activities.

First you have the Atlas and different options:
a) Section: photos of transverse section in different parts of the body
b) Topography: photos about the structures and related things
c) Radiology: radiology to see the clinical concepts
d) “Neuroanatomy”: for studying the neurology.

Then you can choose if you want to study the thorax, abdomen, etc. And you can also do activities which are photos with structures marked.  You have to write the name of the structure and after that you can compare answers.

Behind My Music

Music is everything to me. I don’t have the gift of dancing but I think it´s because of that I have the gift of making music, and playing it. I am a person who has two different roads which join in perfect art in my brain…
When I was a kid, music was just music to me, some funny melodies at “jardin infantil” like mazapan or something like that. But one day, at the age of 6, in an act of bravery I changed the station of the radio and tuned in to 88.9 (Futuro Radio), from one moment to another I was petrified at the sound of the gods of music (in that moment) it was Paranoid performed by Black Sabbath with Ozzy on vocals. From that day I had a brain wash and I began to listen to Rock / Metal music.
One year later I discovered two bands that have something in common: the perfect sound. They are Iron Maiden (with Bruce on vocals) and Judas Priest (with Rob Halford) who inspired me to buy an electric guitar and learn and practice on my own.
The other part of my musical life began at school, I started to learn how to read and write music, and the best of all how to reproduce the sound with different instruments (well, in this case it was only a flute, but afterwards, others). With this new knowledge, I had the honor of meeting some of the greatest in the world of what in Spanish we call “Musica Docta”, such as the Great Johann Sebastian Bach.
The funny thing is that there are two famous guitar players who play with this different kind of music and make a rock version of the Docta music like the 5th Beethoven Symphony performed by Yngwie Malsmteen.

I Was & I Am

Hi, I´m Diego a student of Odontology at the Univesidad de Chile, but before this I was someone who had to find his own way in life. First I wanted with all my head, mind and heart to become in a neurosurgeon because one of the reasons was that I damaged two very important nerves of my arm and because of this I had to finish some sports which I played like voleyball, basketball and martial arts. However I began my university studies in the Faculty of Engineering at the same University were I study today. Then I left the career and some specific friends due to the fact that I could never work in an office. This was a very important decision, in one side I had my parents with a lot of problems and quarreling but on another side I had someone who gave me the strength to do it, that person it was (she is and she will be) my beautiful girlfriend Elita and she gave me an exit, a solution, a dream.
Now I have a lot of dreams, I have a beautiful life, a lot of joy and the best of all, I like what I am doing in this moment, I hope to finish soon to see what is waiting for me in life. And remember "if you are not part of the solution, you will always be part of the problem"
