Slipknot has been around for over 10 years, crazy to think isn't it? It felt like just yesterday that Vol. 3: The Subliminal Versus came out when I was in High School. Over the years though, these guys have released a lot of great music videos and a ton of great live videos!

Gr8bit Live for the past few years has been a great show for a great cause. Bands like Playing with Power, Super Guitar Bros., The X-Hunters, and more have performed at this awesome show with the proceeds from the show going to purchasing new video & board games for Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. Do those names look familiar? Yes, they are video game music cover groups. Now, for its third

On February 7th, DeVos Performance Hall will be filled with the music of video games. Music that I am sure if you play older or newer video games, you will recognize the moment you hear it. It is some of the most celebrated music in history, and it overall just kicks ass! Sean & Sam of the GR Symphony stopped by the WGRD studios to talk video game music with station nerd Metalhead Ned.
