Phish fans know that spending Halloween with Phish is usually an experience unlike many others.  The band has been known for putting on a ‘musical costume’ at their Halloween shows and delighting Phans by playing an album from another band in its entirety (that’s Phish’s costume).  However, last Halloween Phish did something a little out of character and played their own new material from what would eventually become Fuego.  Is this a sign of things to come for future Halloween…

The iconic red Gibson SG will no doubt go down as one of the most celebrated guitars in the history of classic rock, and no one individual made more contributions to the guitar’s legendary reputation than Pete Townshend of the Who. The guitarist played a number of these axes over the years, including one which recently went up for auction.

You know Steel Panther, right? The group is a spoof of the hair/glam metal acts of the 80’s, and yet in many ways is more musically developed and intelligent than the material they are trying to mock. Regardless, the group absolutely rocks, and is one of the rare bands that manages to be both humorous and entirely serious. You can a sense of this in a set of 10 steps to heavy metal glory that was recently released by Music…

There exists a stereotype that musicians are solely dedicated towards music and have little or no interest in other fields. Obviously, this is not a true assertion, as the upcoming tour dates for Black Sabbath reveal a little something about the non-music side of the band. According to Sabbath guitarist Tommy Iommi, the upcoming Black Sabbath tour dates were booked with consideration of bassist Geezer Butler’s affinity for soccer. If you’re unaware, the massive FIFA World Cup, the most prestigious…

Well friends, the time is finally here: the utterly massive Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee is finally upon us. This giant festival will act as the four day for more than 100,000 individuals, and has grown a reputation for being one of the weirder, anything goes type festivals. In our book, that equates to a fantastic weekend, and it’s for that reason that one of our Guitar News Daily staff writers will be onsite at Bonnaroo all…

The Kinks have been the subject of reunion rumors for what seems like decades.  Its no secret that there has been a rift between Ray and Dave Davies but now there is new news coming out of The Kinks camp. On the heels of the musical that was made about The Kinks, The Telegraph had reported that the Davies boys had made up and put their differences aside.  This sounded like great news for fans who have been waiting for…
