Honestly, I don't think the red and blue color scheme matches with the black and grey color scheme at all. The content is very good though. Hope that helps!

i like it it's kind of strange that the home page is so different from every other page of your website but it's cool - original the site is easy to navigate and the content is great so... Good luck with it

I would make your header area larger (maybe add some spacing between the edge of the header and the logo).

Ha!! - My wife says that I am color blind! - only see the primary colors! - so I can imagine you are 100% right!

So what should I try instead of the blue, (preferably want to keep the red as it is the logo)

Thanks in advance

Cool site and a good keyword strong domain name.

I think you need to tidy up the menus at the base of the page, the right and left columns seem to end abruptly and then the all black base menu starts.

Try and continue your left & right columns all the way to the base of the page, i.e. height=100% of the table or frame etc.

I think this could be a really good traffic generating site... Have you posted it to lots of directories yet?

Thanks for your great suggestions! - I have it listed in around 500 directories (I guess I need more??) And could you please tell me a little more about the menus? - I think I am missing your points, - you are saying that I should repeat the menus at the bottom (the page footer?) - (if thats what you are saying than what is the advantage in it?)

Thanks a lot in advance - Really appreciate this!

You should consider giving your whole website new colours, dark colours are not easy on the eyes.

Just my 2 cents...

Dark colours always express well that 'rock sensation' appeal. Feel that you should make it more rock electrify!! Like a true rocker with a attached picture of Van Halen's retire drummer on display to increase the 'heat' of your site..

You can use some images, change the color combination ... it's not electrifying

Pretty good, but some of the text is very small, and difficult to read on black background.

White backgrounds are boring but they really do work the best!

Content looks good, but the white/black combination isn't.

Other parts of the website don't have this combination and they look much better.
