QuoteFormed in 2002 around a mutual interested in melodic death metal like At The Gates and Carcass as much as the classic recordings of early thrash giants Megadeth and Testament, the band's impressive debut The Hero Cycle led to a deal with Prosthetic Records shortly thereafter. Next came 2005's critically-acclaimed Remains of The Gods, which earned the band a spot on Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles' best of 2005 list. At the same time, front woman Laura Nichol, one of death metal's few leading ladies, graced the pages of Revolver as one "The Hottest Chicks In Metal."

Various grammar and spelling mistakes there.

And yes, it does matter.

some, hopefully for the better, updates made. :o

k so King_of_the_Universe recommends I change it a bit so it looks less like a "blog" here is what it comes out to:

http://www.celebrityrockstarguitars.com/new2/

vs. the old one

http://www.celebrityrockstarguitars.com/new/

though the second one IMO looks better, I do understand his point that the first one looks more like a site selling guitars.

What do you guys think? (reply, no poll :3 )

If we were to judge the design by whether it "looks like a blog" or not, which, in my opinion, is not something that is defined well enough to say "that site looks like a blog!", I'd say the second design STILL looks like one.

Both are fine, to be honest, but I think I prefer the first one.  Maybe I am just not used to the new version.

Enough to prove that it still "looks like a blog", lol...  But then again... HOW is a blog supposed to look?  :P  Just ignore the blog part.  Do what you think is best for your customer and the website's visitors.

... But maybe Moo was referring to the design shown in the first post?

please dont apply stereotypes to design layouts :D. i remember a site of mine for my school based IT project was called left handed because sub-navigation appeared to the right. :S

Nouman did you also do the guitar slideshow?
And I have to say the background works quite well.  ;8

yep. Hardest part was to use ordinary guitar pictures and make them look good.
