    This October, guitar collectors will get a chance to become part of a genuinely outlaw rock-and-roll story — without worrying that the police will come knocking at their door. ANALOGr is launching an auction of 16 guitars from the Outlaw Custom Shop Guitar Collection, a group of one-of-a-kind Gibson-inspired instruments created in the late 1980s by master luthier Roger Giffin and vintage-gear expert Brett Allen.

    Tony Iommi received his Member of the Order of the British Empire honor today (September 30), and said his late bandmate Ozzy Osbourne would have approved.
