When Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine started Gigantour in 2005, he said he wanted to "put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment." It's a wonder that it took him four tries to book Gothenburg, Sweden melodic death-metallers In Flames — a band known for their high-energy shows. But landing a spot on the six-week North American tour

Carlos Santana has become a god - again - to a new generation hooked on Guitar Hero, but the notion of youngsters banging away at plastic slabs in time with his most famous solos isn't that meaningful to him.     ''I probably wouldn't be very good at it,'' he says in a recent phone interview. ''I'd say if you're going to spend that much time and energy, get yourself a real guitar. If you're going

Say it ain't so. Despite having his music featured in both Guitar Hero III and Rock Band, Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo suggests that playing rhythm games is a waste of time."You should just play a real instrument.""I don't get those games at all," Cuomo told Joystick Division in an undated interview published on Thursday.

At any point in the last decade, I would have said that the likelihood ofGuns'N'Roses ever releasing their long-awaited album Chinese Democracywas about as much as there being a new Indiana Jones movie in the same year.But if reports are to be believed, the album is done and it's coming out. After 15 years, $13m and more line-up reshuffles than the Sugababes, it's being reported that the band (

It must be hard working in the marketing department of a record company at the moment. No sooner does someone break the news that the internet is here to stay, someone goes and tells you that this week it's all about computer games. Luckily, whoever is in charge of Def Leppard's marketing budget is all over that shiz, with the news that their latest single is to be debuted on Guitar Hero III.

To honour the longstanding relationship between Marshall and MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister, the Marshall team has created a Signature Series amplifier that takes its inspiration from Lemmy's very own modified 1992 100 Watt Super Bass unit, 'Murder One'. The result is an amp that delivers sublime tone combined with shear volume and crushing power, all wrapped up in a rugged, over-sized cab.

All right, so the title is a bit out-there--but, then again, the Grammy-nominated guitarist's 1986 debut was called "Not of This Earth." Maybe we all should have taken the hint.Satriani's 13th studio album is the first since 2006's "Super Colossal," and the long-winded title does not lie: this one pays strict homage to simple grooves. The whole-note chords of leadoff cut "Musterion" recall his
