What’s In A Name
One of the most challenging aspects of forming a band can be The Name. I say it with all seriousness. Put four or five guys in a room together, tell them to choose a name they all think sounds cool and you’ll get some absolutely laughable names. Don’t think so? Try it, please. It’s actually [...]
Continue reading...Rise of the Theme Songs!
Monday, November 10, 2008
Theme songs are a tricky thing. Some theme songs are so annoying you contemplate a life as a hermit upon hearing them (or maybe that’s just me), while other theme songs are super catchy, fun and almost meme-like. Think of The Flintstones, who doesn’t remember that tune. Ninja Turtles! Power Rangers! Animaniacs! Now, a classic [...]

Thursday, November 6, 2008
Think you’ve got what it takes to be a rockstar, the new Hendrix or a progressive god like Beck? Dreaming of doing stage jumps onto a crowd of adoring, beautiful Swedish girls? Don’t we all. What you need first though, is a guitar! Yes, seemingly obvious though, isn’t it? Well yes, but you need to [...]

Monday, November 3, 2008
With the U.S elections looming, one can’t go anywhere or do anything with hearing something about Obama’s family, McCain’s time in a POW camp or Palin’s wardrobe. Sick of it? You wouldn’t be the only one. Everyone seems to be highly clued up to what’s going on, well, except McCain. (Oooh). Even two astronauts aboard [...]

Thursday, October 30, 2008
Say what you want, but U2 are awesome. From the early days right until How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2 have remained a consistently cool rock band, something that many of their peers have struggled to achieve. With 22 Grammy’s behind them, they have proven to be a band to be named for many [...]

Monday, October 27, 2008
A while ago this music video by DragonForce did the rounds on Digg and Stumbleupon. People were posting it on their MySpace and Twitters. If you hadn’t seen it, you sucked. End of story. Well, I feel a bit bad for those of you living in a bunker for fear of the Reds coming, so [...]

Thursday, October 23, 2008
Personally, whenever I think of Queen I always remember We Will Rock You. I know it’s because during my earlier years at school, it was always (ALWAYS) the theme song at interschool events. It wasn’t until I grew a little older that I learnt to enjoy Queen, now I can’t get enough. I blame my [...]

Monday, October 20, 2008
We here at Guitarzzz.com love lists. They’re fun and don’t hurt our lil’ brains. Some of the most important things ever written were in lists; think of the 10 Commandments! Life would be pretty easy if everything were in lists. If there is something I like more than a good list, it’s a funny list, [...]

Thursday, October 16, 2008
Not many bands have been as influential as Metallica, one just has to ask any heavy metal fan, or even just a music enthusiast to know that Metallica have been the reason for many kids wanting to be rock stars. From Simpson cameos and having an insane amount of tribute albums, Metallica really have proven [...]

Monday, October 13, 2008
We here at Guitarzzz.com are trying something new. On a somewhat regular basis, you can expect a short bio piece on a famous or infamous guitarist. Looking for the facts, a no frills lesson? This is where to come! Jimmy Page, a name that invokes thoughts of epically progressive guitar riffs, ridiculous amounts of hard [...]
