Rare bootleg Gibsons will be up for grabs when the Outlaw Custom Shop Guitar Collection goes to the auction block on October 20 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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. The guitars were conceived and built while Giffin was running Gibson’s West Coast Cu
Tony Iommi admits struggling with Black Sabbath final concert movie as he accepts MBE: “I find it difficult to watch it, to be honest” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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. The award was bestowed at Windsor Castle by Princess Margaret, the Princess Royal, in recognition of Iommi’s services to music and charity. Although he spoke to the princess during the ceremony, protocol forbids people revealing what was said.

Becker was at the start of a promising career when he was diagnosed with wasting illness ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) around 1989, aged just 20. It quickly became impossible for him to perform live and he had to leave David Lee Roth’s band, although he’s continued making music ever since. Asked by Ultimate Guitar about the time Van Halen first came to meet him, Beck

Read excerpt
Dave Mustaine looked back on a period of Megadeth history in which he said too many mistakes were made – leaving him feeling “queazy“ about the album they’d made. Risk, released in 1999, was their eighth record, but it was recorded during a difficult time. Drummer Nick Menza had left and Marty Friedman was ready to go too. On top of that, Mustaine felt his position as band leader was being questioned. But he suggested there was a relatively easy way to repair the record – record a faster version
