“I was drunk. I fell flat on my face, but I could still squeeze out some notes, even though I was unconscious”: Mick Mars wasn’t even awake when he recorded parts for one of Mötley Crüe’s biggest tunes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s often hard for players to recall the exact moment they stumbled across a riff or lick that would end up becoming a hit. It’s equally difficult to pinpoint the ins and outs of a recording session. That was especially the case for Mars, who failed to remember recording of Mötley Crüe’s Girls, Girls, Girls – because he was unconscious for it. Bizarre stories fly out of the Mötley Crüe camp with wild abandon, and have done since their 1981 debut album, Too Fast for Love, hit the shelves. In the

In total, the event raised $7.44 million, with roughly $6.4 million going to Clapton’s Crossroads drug addiction rehabilitation center. The ES-335, a 1964 model with a mysterious origin s

Read excerpt
There’s been a flurry of activity around Guitar Center’s RockWalk of Fame in 2026, with a host of stars joining an established cast of inductees. Iconic luthier Paul Reed Smith is the latest name to be honored, and he’s been inducted by his good friend and signature artist, John Mayer. After securing the loyalty of Carlos Santana and Al Di Meola early on, Mayer has gone on to be the poster boy for PRS guitars, with his signature model, the Silver Sky, going toe-to-toe with the Fender Strat for y
Cara Delevingne showcases her two-hand tapping chops as she returns to Jimmy Fallon: “Everyone thought it was a party trick. It was actually foreshadowing” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During a 2021 appearance on Jimmy Fallon, actor and model Cara Delevingne showed off her surprising guitar chops by playing Sweet Home Alabama behind her head. Now, she’s returned to the show to perform her new single, and showed that her electric guitar talents aren’t just for a cheap gag.
