Slash's 10 Favorite Guitar Riffs of All Time

Slash's 10 Favorite Guitar Riffs of All Time

For the first time in Slash’s career, the long-locked and top-hatted ex-Guns N’ Roses/current-Velvet Revolver guitarist will be releasing a solo album (which features a reunion of four out of the five original GNR members—we’ll let you guess who isn’t showing). He also could help you cut an EP, if you win the “Guitar Center Presents: Your Next Record With Slash” competition he’s hosting. Since riffs are his specialty, and he’s certainly playing a lot of them these days, we figured we’d give the guy a call and pick his brain for his 10 favorite guitar riffs of all...  read more

Vandals drummer Josh Freese's new album: $7-$75,000!

Few people can claim punk, rock-star and metal cred, but drummer Josh Freese is a unique breed. Although a permanent member of punk-prodigy group The Vandals since 1989, new-wave band Devo since '95 and Maynard James Keenan's A Perfect Circle since the beginning, Freese's work has also appeared in many other places.

Guns N' Roses serves up free Chinese Democracy, Dr Pepper

image not available

Guns N' Roses' long-awaited followup to 1993's The Spaghetti Incident occupies a special spot in our pop culture collective unconsciousness - a piece of art whose creation story is so well known that it's impossible to disconnect the history from the actual product being offered. Regardless of whether it's actually any good, Chinese Democracy's fate has already been written: like a glam-rock Ozymandias, it stands as a towering monument to cost-be-damned tenacity, crushed expectations, and the sheer force of Axl Rose's ego....  read more

GNR's Chinese Democracy goes Best-Buy exclusive

GNR's <em>Chinese Democracy</em> goes Best-Buy exclusive

For 15 years, Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy has stood as a monument to the perils of rock 'n' roll egoism, a perennial punchline and the embodiment of Shelley's Ozymandias: "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!" Five producers and $10 million deep into the boondoggle there was little hope that the album would ever see the light of day, before GNR graced the public with some new material released via a video game. Our long national nightmare may at last be drawing to a close; Chinese Democracy could be released before the end of the year. There is...  read more

GNR delivers Democracy to Geffen amidst conspiracy

image not available

After more than a decade of false promises and speculation, Axl Rose and his Guns N’ Roses bandmates have finally delivered their long-fabled album Chinese Democracy to Geffen Records. The record’s final price tag is estimated to be a cool $13 million. Many music industry observers thought today’s announcement would never come. The band began working on Chinese Democracy 14 years ago as the follow-up to 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident, but money, copyright issues and turmoil between the band members plagued the project from the very beginning. GNR announced the album’s completion and release dates several times, most recently in...  read more
