Hey guys im back with some news, I know it has been a
while, but better late than never!!
I just finished the second season of the CBS TV Show
Rockstar Supernova with Tommy Lee, Gilby Clark and
Jason Newsted. Oh! And Brooke Burke, of course! That
was almost four months of hard work, but Im stoked
that a lot of people got to listen to my guitar
playing and if I inspired anyone doing what I love,
than I've accomplished what I set out to do!!
Last Week, on Sept 22nd,me and the boys from MAGNETICO
(www.myspace.com/MAGNETICO) played a Killer show on
the roof top of a building in Downtown LA for a party
in colaboration w/ the designer Victor Wilde from
Bohemian Society! And in the same weekend on Sept 23rd
I flew to San Francisco to be one of the Judges for a
Guitar Player Magazine event called "Guitar Hero
2006," the other Judges were Joe Satriani, Steve
Lukather, Richie Kotzen, ShredMystress Rynata and
Steve Read from Musician's Friend! It was a blast!! And last but not least Im going on Tour w/ one of my
heroes!! Paul Stanley from Kiss! Only US dates though,
can't wait to play Detroit Rock City!
Take care guys, I'll see you soon!

FEBRUARY 2006
This has been a very strange month for me!! As you all
know, a couple weeks ago I was arrested due to a
scuffle with a 30 year old student while I was having
my own Open Counseling at GIT in Hollywood; and, I was
taken to the police station for a few hours and then
released. I'm happy, very happy, to say that the
District Attorney in Los Angeles reviewed the case and
dropped all the charges on the grounds that I was
defending myself with one of my favorite guitars (a
Gibson 335) from the student who was attacking me. I
had no idea that this guy was well known around
Musicians Institute for attacking other teachers and
having massive behavior problems. Life sometimes sends
you obstacles and you have to deal with them and learn
from them. I'm glad everything turned out all right.
I managed to do my "ACID GUITAR" CD release Party at
the same time at a packed music store in Pasadena. Myself and my band played a few songs from the CD and
I signed a bunch of Photos and CD's!!
I also had my last gig in Town w/ my Band Magnetico at
The Cat Club before leaving to Europe w/ P!NK to
Promote her new CD!
I'll keep you posted for march!
Take care
Rafael Moreira
