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 [...]

10. November 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

6. October 2008
Anyone who thinks giant swords, dragons, and epic battles between angels and demons aren’t completely awesome should really re-evaluate their self-worth and general purpose on this planet. Screw Tolkien and his puny Halflings. Power Metal lyricists have penned some truly impressive battles between mythical creatures. Not to mention the amazing guitar riffs too. Some say [...]

2. October 2008
Back when the Internet was thought to be the dwelling of hackers, perverts and godless hedonists (wait a minute…), getting your music to the public was more often than not an epic journey of tapes, road trips and memories. Thanks to social networking sites, we can kiss that all goodbye. In the past, avid fans [...]

If the many incarnations of Guitar Hero weren’t enough, budding (air) guitarists can now happily shred away whilst actually holding something other than boring old space. Toy makers, Tomy have released a new product called Guitar RockStar just in time for the Christmas shopping rush. This toy, designed to plug into headphones or speakers with [...]

During this modern age of the World Wide Web, cross continental missiles and PVR the idea of a fictional band touring the world just doesn’t surprise you anymore.
