It better have Keith Don’t Go on it. Say it has Keith Don’t Go on it.
Ahhh, it does.
Right then, Nils Lofgren. He’s got a spanking new DVD out. It’s called Cry Tough and it covers three different and separate live performances from the bescarfed one. Each performance was filmed at different eras in Lofgren’s career and could be an interesting indicator of how (if at all) some of his songs and his style has altered over the years. A back-to-back viewing of these three shows, over two DVDs could make …

I’ve been an AC/DC fan forever. The first riff I ever learned was The Jack. I’ve been listening to Angus and the boys for so long that it’s sometimes a surprise when I’m reminded just how popular they are with, you know, normal people.
Let me explain a little. Many of the bands I grew up rocking to haven’t gained the widespread acceptance, and even love, that AC/DC have. Everybody loves AC/DC. And if you don’t, why don’t you? If you’re a guitarist, you’d better have a good reason.
Or, you could …

Another release from the Lick Library. Five releases if you want to be exact.
Never ones to sit on their guitar-playing hands, the boys and girls at the Lick Library have brought out five guitar tuition DVDs all celebrating the guitar-geekery of Jimmy Page. And, lets face it, everyone could use a little more Pagey in their lives.
First up are two volumes of Led Zeppelin goodness.

If you’re a rocker of a certain age, there’s a good chance you spent a chunk of your formative years listening to early Ozzy albums desperately trying to figure out what the hell Randy Rhoads was playing. You whippersnappers may have done similar with the albums of the latter-day Ozzy with Zakk Wylde.
Lick Library have just announced, not only a Randy Rhoads, but also a Zakk Wylde version of their Learn To Play – The Solos DVDs.
As well as the DVD tutorials, these releases include a CD of professionally recorded …

Frankly, we don’t have a problem plugging Waits’ new album on Guitarless. Waits’ albums contain guitar sounds and styles that run the gamut from mellow and understated to freaky, mentalist baboons, ripping apart guitars with their teeth while defecating on them with their giant red arses. Waits can do very little wrong in the opinion of Guitarless.
If you weren’t lucky enough to catch the man doing his crazy thing on the Glitter And Doom tour (I can crow because I got to see him) last year, you’ll be eager to …

News is beginning to make the rounds of the internet concerning the release of Kats Karavan a 4-CD box set of music from the legendary John Peel’s radio shows. Readers outside of the UK and Ireland may be unaware of Peel but he was a household name for forty-odd years, renowned for playing a massively eclectic mix of music from new and upcoming artists and bands. It’s no exaggeration to say that he provided the first radio broadcasts for many hundreds of artists.
Spanning the years from 1968 to his death …

It’s an AC/DC box set. It’s got CDs, DVDs, an LP, book and a bunch of badges ‘n’ stuff.
That’s not all. See the image over there? That’s the box it comes in (and it’s a biggie – 12 inches on a side). The top bit is an actual, working amp. You can plug in and rock out while listening to the tracks. Ok, of course it’ll sound terrible, but that’s not really the point – it’s still cool and very fun.
You get three CD’s. The first contains a bundle of …
