Many people were surprise to find out that I’m a big fan of Zak Bagans. Many people know that I’m huge fan of Ryan Buell. When I tell them about Zak, they look at me like WHO IN THE HELL IS THAT? I love telling about him and his work in the paranormal field. I haven’t meet Zak yet. I hope to someday and pick his brain on the paranormal.
He stars in the Travel Channel Ghost Adventures with Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin. These guys are paranormal investigators and travels to some most haunted places around the world for cases. These guys are funny as hell. Aaron Goodwin does video blogs of behind the scenes of Ghost Adventures.
Here is one my favorite Aaron Vlog
Zak Bagans recently wrote a book called DARK WORLD: INTO THE SHADOWS WITH THE LEAD INVESTGATOR OG THE GHSOT ADVENTURES CREW.
Who is Zak Bagans?
As a former skeptic himself, Bagans says that his passion for investigating the paranormal resulted from a face-to-face encounter with the spirit of a suicidal woman in his apartment building in Trenton, Michigan in 2002. Afterward, his life-changing experience caused him to actively pursue capturing video evidence of the afterlife. In the introduction of each episode, Bagans states: “My name is Zak Bagans. I never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one. So I set out on a quest to capture what I once saw onto video. With no big camera crews following us around, I am joined only by my fellow investigator Nick Groff and our equipment tech Aaron Goodwin. The three of us will travel to some of the most highly active paranormal locations, where we will spend an entire night, being locked down from dusk until dawn. Raw; extreme; these are our Ghost Adventures.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Adventures
I got Zak's book recently and once I starting reading I didn’t put it down. It’s really good. The only other paranormal bio I read that was really good was Ryan Buell's book PARANORMAL STATE: MY JOUNERY INTO THE UNKNOWN. Zak’s book is giving Ryan book a run for its money. SORRY RYAN!!!!
When you read this book you see the paranormal world through Zak eyes. He goes into details about his earlier life and how he becomes who he is today. The book takes you on an emotional journey through some of the cases that he investigates like Bobby Macke’s Music World. That place not only affected Zak on many levels but also his team members.
Of course my favorite cases was when Ghost Adventures came to investigate Magnolia Plantation about a couple a years ago. I love this case because it was film in my state Louisiana.
When finishing reading this book you will get on a clear idea that Zak Bagans really is. The man behind the paranormal shows. The book gives you a glimpse into Zak mind, heart, and soul.
HERE IS INTERESTING FACE ABOUT ZAK BAGANS:
He built a dungeon in his house. It’s based after his love for Dracula. When I told my mother he did this, I seriously thought she would freak out. She didn’t and her reply shocks me. She said “Well men built man cave and I guess this one is his,” I love the way it built.
Zak is like me is obsessed with history. When you see his dungeon it’s taking a look back in time during the reign the reign Vlad III Dracula in the 1400s. When people saw this video they said he has a dark. Zak may have a dark side but its make him who he is. If you want to know why he built his dungeon read his book.
I will admit that I have a crush on Zak and I’m not ashamed of it at all. I call him TALL DARK AND HANDSOME. He is also SEXY AS HELL. LOL well I’m speaking the truth if you don’t like I don’t care.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE I CAN EXPRESSION MY IDEAS, FEELING, THROUGHTS, LIKES AND DISLIKES, RANTS, AND ETC.

GUN-N-ROSES ARE FINALLY TOURING.
Sorry I haven’t been blogging in a while but I have been busy with life.
This past summer I have seen in concert Josh Groban in concert n NOLA in May. In June I finally meet Ryan Buell, Serge, Chad Calek, and rest of the AGH Crew in NOLA. I got to c their movie American Ghost Hunter which was very good.
WELL GUN-N-ROSES IS FINALLY TOURING THE US. As for me I will not be going to see them due to lack of funds. :-(
Gun-n-Roses starting touring in South America with a live concert n Rio. I saw this concert live and they were amazing. I felt sorry for the band they stated late bc of the rain, of course AXL got blamed for it as always. They started late bc IT WAS RAINING. THE POOR BAND GOT WET. :-(
.
Funny thing happen to Axl. He was singing Knocking on Heaven's Door when he went to the side on the stage. He tried to stand on the speakers, lost his footing, and fall down. Ron and one stage guy tried to help him up but Axl refused. The best part he never miss a note of the song.
THIS IS THE STRANGE PART. One year ago in the same city on the same stage during the same song Axl slips on stage and fall on his butt. He laughs about it. I don’t think that stage in that city like him. So next time I think he will avoid it all cost. LOL.
One of my fav video of Axl was taken by a fan. When people ask me y I like Axl so much and what he like in person. I tell them to watch this.
One thing that pissed me off when people throw things at Axl like a bottle of water he threaten to walk off stage like he did here.
I remember last year when Axl was performing n Dublin Ireland. Some Stupid ass people throw water bottle at him bc he was late. He warned them not to do it or he would leave. They did it again and Axl walk off stage. I know he was very pissed. It took over 35 minutes to convince him to finish the concert. When he performed u can tell his was still PISSED. I was happy he came back out for the fans who really wanted to hear him play. My heart broke for him.
I wish people would understand so what is AXL is late coming to a concert. I would be there waiting for him. No one forced u to buy the ticket and go to the concert. SO DEAL WITH IT.
Gun-N-Roses are playing in Houston tonight. I wanted to go see them very badly. My dream is to see Axl performed November Rain Live. My favorite song. The one that made AXL my crush and he still is. LOL. This song made me fall in love with his music.
I can’t wait:
"GUNS N ROSES singer Axl Rose gave an hour-long interview to VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show" early this morning (Sunday, October 30) — a couple of hours after the band's headlining performance at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida."
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=165384
A dear friend of mine Tamera will be seeing them soon. I hope I can find a way to tell Axl when he sings Sweet Child of Mine. If he can do in the memory of my friend Mrs. Tammy daughter Heather who dieD over a year ago Mrs. Tammy is one of Axl’s biggest fan and supporter. She will be seeing them live on December 1. It was the music and songs from GNR that helped her deal with loss of her daughter. I hope Axl can do this for her. IT MAKE HER VERY HAPPY AND MOMENT IN LIFE SHE WILL NEVER FORGOT.
I WISH GUN-N-ROSES GOOD LUCK ON THEIR TOUR. ALWAYS KEEP ROCKIN. I WISH AXL ALL THE HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS IN THE WORLD. I WILL ALWAYS BEEN A FAN AND SUPPORTER OF YOU AND GUN-N-ROSES.

AMERICAN GHOST HUNTER MOVIE TOUR N NEW ORLEANS JUNE 17, 2011
I was n NOLA when I meet & got 2 know some great people: Chad Calek, Mary Beth Wylie, Joseph Ansley, Justin Holstien, Ryan Buell, Sergey Poberezhny & Jasmine Williams. These guys gave great presentations. I was the only one 4 a while during ryan & serg pres. LUCKY ME!! I also got 2 c a great movie called American Ghost Hunter. Its was very good. i had a great time. I hope they come back soon.
i went to tell people that ryan is really nice guy. all this bull shit that i have heard from people who have meet him b4 is a bunch of lies.
ryan and serg gave their presentation on previous cases from Paranormal State and what they had found. I really enjoy the one on one time with these two guys. they are nice guys, easy to to talk to and get along with, and funny as hell. Ryan mentioned in a live chat a girl at the Long Beach event wanted some alone one on tone time with him and she didnt get it. I wasnt looking for it and i got it. LOL
I recevied a shock from serg.
Three years ago i got the a Paranormal State poster they had put on EBAY. when i got the poster there was a note from ryan and serg. There was a line on the note that comfused me. it said:
"INSIDE TRIVIA: XANDER IS REALLY A CAT."
When i first read this i didnt know who Xander was. It wasnt until later on that i learn that Xander was Ryan dog.
I was WTF. it this for real. i was like if Xander is a cat than whos dog in the pics with Ryan. So i decided to keep the note so if i ever meet Ryan or Serg to show it to them to get an answer. I got the answer this weekend. IT WAS SERG THAT WROTE IT.
The funny thing i ask Serg if he ever got Ryan and Elf back for the baby power in the face at Katie bar during the 1st season of Paranormal State. He says no because he is not a pranker. He says that its takes to long to plan the perfect prank.
I told serg about the note with the poster but than i realize i forgot in the my hotel room. So i went to go get it and i showed it to him. Then he realized he wrote. I was like WTF. I killed myself laughing bc he just said he was not a pranker and all this time i thought Ryan wrote it.
Now i see serg in a all new light. He says he not a pranker. But if I was Ryan, Elfie, Heather, or Katrina i would watch my back. LMFAO. I have told serg that i owe him for this prank he played on me. i will pay him back when i meet him again. LOL
Chad gave his presentation with his team. He went over things they had find doing cases. I found every interesting and really enjoy every minute of it.
I gave Chad for his birthday a Welcome to Louisiana gift bag fulled with products made in Louisiana. He really enjoyed it. He is really nice guy and really hope he enjoy the gift.
For Ryan: autograph pic of X-Files stars for his bday. (Gillian Anderson is ryan 1st love and still is. He wants her for his bday gift.LOL)
PRS 10 annv. shot glass. This Sept 16 2011 will be 10 years since he founded the Paranormal Research Society. I told him to have a shot on me even through i will not be there to celebrate with him.
He said thanks and hug me.
I give serg a gift too. I gave him A Louisiana Photo book because he loves photography. Serg is really good at it.
I finally saw the movie American Ghost Hunter which is about chad famliy dealing with paranormal events. Chad with the help of his team, Ryan, and serg made this flim to show chad quest on finding the truth behind the events that affected his family for over 20 years.
There is a part in the movie where Ryan talk about a event that happen in his life which made me cry.
I REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE. Its the best documentary film i have ever seen. I really enjoyed it.
Im happy i went to see this film. Its was nice to meeting everyone involved in the film and getting to know them.
i hope someday to meet them all again.

Murderdolls Says Axl is the Perfect Gent, and if He’s Late - it’s Worth it
http://www.gnrdaily.com/news_detail.asp?id=2761
Murderdolls frontman Wednesday 13 has revealed Axl Rose was the perfect host when his band supported Guns N’ Roses on tour last year and has defended the enigmatic singer’s infamous poor time-keeping – claiming any fans who go to a GNR show get their money’s worth. In a RockAAA exclusive Wednesday said:
“Supporting Guns N’ Roses was awesome. I was terrified at first as you hear all the stories about what it’s going to be like and whether there will be a riot because Axl doesn’t show up. I didn’t know the band so all I knew was what I reading the paper.
“And we were a support band going up against a crowd who sold-out before we were even announced so we knew we were going up against an army ready to see Guns N’ Roses.
“But then we got there on the first day and met the crew who were awesome.
“They loved us and said we could use the whole stage, even use Axl’s catwalk, we could use everything.”
Wednesday reveals the two bands became firm friends with the headliners often rocking out to the Murderdolls’ performance with the exception of Axl who they didn’t see for the first-three weeks of the tour when he personally rolled out the welcome mat to the band.
He continues:
“Every night the band was on the side of the stage, except Axl, rocking out and singing along to 1976 with their fists in the air.
“Then about three-weeks into the tour – no one had ever seen Axl as he comes in right before the show – he came off stage after a three-hour set, comes right into our dressing room with sweat running down him and says ‘Sorry I didn’t get to say hello to you before now, but I’ve heard nothing but awesome things about you, my band loves you guys. I’m going to get dressed, come over to my room and we’ll party.’
“There was nothing that I heard of on that tour that was anywhere close to an audience complaining. He’s Axl Rose, he can be 15 or 30 minutes late. He was talking about that too backstage. He was just like ‘Man, I need to get in my zone, get in the vibe you know. I’m late but when I come out I’ll play for three hours.’
“It’s like he has to play for that long. So he showed up late but he played you an extra hour of songs.
“He’s Axl fuckin’ Rose, you gotta hand it to him.”

A PERFECT CIRCLE Guitarist Talks AXL ROSE - Feb. 18, 2011
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=154141
Before forming A PERFECT CIRCLE with TOOL singer Maynard James Keenan in 2000, guitarist Billy Howerdel spent several years working as a guitar tech and computer programmer on the GUNS N' ROSES album "Chinese Democracy", which finally came out in 2008 after a 15-year wait. With all the stories about GUNS frontman Axl Rose being eccentric and difficult to work with, The Pulse Of Radio asked Howerdel for his view.
"You know, stories are there for a reason, and there's always some truth to exaggerations and a lot of times there's none, you know, so you can look at it whatever way you want to," he said. "You know, I had a really good time working in that camp. You know, Axl was a really hard worker, had a big vision for something he cared passionately about and, you know, it was definitely an interesting two-and-a-half some-odd years of my life."
A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Josh Freese also spent some time playing with GUNS N' ROSES in the studio, which is how he and Howerdel met.
A PERFECT CIRCLE's current lineup consists of guitarist Billy Howerdel, singer Maynard James Keenan, drummer Josh Freese, guitarist James Iha and new bassist Matt McJunkins.
Howerdel also plans to work on a new record from his other band, ASHES DIVIDE, while Keenan is working on his winery, a PUSCIFER DVD and, eventually, a new TOOL album.

You know, Axl was a really hard worker, had a big vision for something he cared passionately about and, you know, it was definitely an interesting two-and-a-half some-odd years of my life."
A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Josh Freese also spent some time playing with GUNS N' ROSES in the studio, which is how he and Howerdel met.
A PERFECT CIRCLE's current lineup consists of guitarist Billy Howerdel, singer Maynard James Keenan, drummer Josh Freese, guitarist James Iha and new bassist Matt McJunkins.
Howerdel also plans to work on a new record from his other band, ASHES DIVIDE, while Keenan is working on his winery, a PUSCIFER DVD and, eventually, a new TOOL album.
