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.

Finally: the first single from Guns N' Roses' comically overdue Chinese Democracy. But is there still a place in rock for Axl Rose?

In the fourth grade, when I first became curious about rebellion and rock ’n’ roll, Guns N’ Roses seemed like the perfect fit. A friend of mine had a poster featuring the longhaired, tattooed rockers strewn drunken and shirtless behind police crime-scene tape, clad in leather pants and leather jackets, clutching bottles of Black Death vodka and looking like they did not give a shit about anything. Damn, I thought, these guys are pretty cool! ...  read more

Above: Bang CamaroAnother Lollapalooza weekend has come and gone and music fans of all stripes left happy (unless, of course, they were fans of the Weakerthans, who had to cancel as a result of travel problems). Despite a record attendance of 225,000 fans, festivities and rock went on seamlessy under sun-filled skies each day.

Other rising stars followed suit on days two and three with the Ting Tings belting out their infectious pop tunes (we overheard Love and Rockets'...  read more
