Johnny Depp continues to show everyone he's a cool dude, and now he's on stage rocking with KISS, Extreme, and GNR guys to help raise money to get children corrective surgeries! They performed in Hollywood on Sunday night to raise money for Mending Kids, that helps provide corrective surgeries for kids with heart defects, cranial deformities, severe scoliosis, and more. That kicks a LOT of ass! Re

Okay, so maybe this headline didn't make you immediately want to click open this post, but it's pretty funny, right? During the first song of Lenny's set in Stockholm, Sweden, Lenny Kravitz was getting down so hard (sorry), and so long (sorry again), that when he squatted down while playing, his d*** ripped its way out of his pants to help play the guitar solo!

If you don't know who this guy is, other than a (now ex)guitar player for Guns N Roses, you're missing out. His name in Ron Thal, and he's called Bumblefoot. He's a ridiculously talented guitarist, who's put out several solo albums, and then he joined GNR in 2006. He replaced another ridiculous guitar player, Buckethead.

Van Halen rocked Ridgefield, Washington yesterday, July 7th, and when it came time for Eddie to play his solo bit, Ima Starman grabbed his camera and filmed it. Thanks to this guy, we can see Eddie can still kill it on the guitar, and prove that he's still a master of the instrument!

When I was a subscriber to Nintendo Power during the mid- '90's, I was pretty into the Nintendo 64. Each magazine always had a contest where you could mail in a form and hope that you would at least win a T-shirt or something. I never really did win anything though. One year though to commemorate the release of Majora's Mask, Jackson guitars made something awesome.

When you are a guitarist, there are guitars that just feel right. I have been in bands before, and because of real life slapping me in the face, I had to put away the guitar so I could focus on my career and paying my bills on time. Thanks to my wife, her and I were encouraged to finally get back into what we liked doing before life took over.

Megadeth is in the studio, working on their 15th studio album, and you get photos and videos of the recording on their PledgeMusic page. It will be a few more months before it comes out, so in the meantime, enjoy this cool acoustic guitar percussion cover of their classic 'Killing is My Business...'!

It's Memorial Day Weekend, when we remember those who have served our country, and those that have given their lives for us. We usually have a lot of things planned for the family, fun things to celebrate our freedoms. Back in El Paso, they're having the annual KLAQ Balloonfest, with some big bands playing, including Volbeat and Anthrax this weekend. This is only the second Memorial Day Weekend I

Li-sa-X is a 10-year-old Japanese girl who loves to play the guitar, and she doesn't go for the easy stuff, either. She likes to shred! Pick a crazy tech band, and she will probably want to cover their song, and do it better. (And with less emo hair). Here she is, covering Polyphia's "Aviator", and she does an insanely good job with this song, and the band is probably jealous.

Megadeth has been in the music news quite a bit recently, with both their drummer and guitarist leaving the band and forming their own band, and then all the rumors of the classic Rust in Peace lineup getting back together. While that isn't happening, the announcements made by the band last week of Chris Adler from Lamb of God and Kiko Loureiro from Angra recording the new album have been excitin

With rumors flying that Nick Menza has rejoined Megadeth for the upcoming recording that should begin March 17th, Nick is fueling the excitement for Megadeth again by releasing some cool behind the kit footage from his time in Megadeth. Check out these short videos from Nick's upcoming 'Decade With Deth', which is his first ever instruction DVD.

Back in the '80s, Dokken was a huge band. The group played all over the world to sold-out shows, and had super-huge hair. The band's members stalked by hot chicks, and lived the rock star lifestyle. They also had a lot of cool guitars. Apparently, one of the bass guitars that Jeff Pilson owned, a favorite 1985 Spector bass, went missing somewhere along the way -- and Jeff was bummed.
