> Guitar World recently announced the 100 greatest guitar solos of all time, and (shockingly) "Stairway to Heaven" came in at #1, followed by "Eruption" by Van Halen, Freebird and my all time favorite "Comfortably Numb" at 4. CityRag has posted links to video clips of the top 20 songs.
> For all you GUNS N ROSES fans still waiting for Axl Rose to put out an album, VELVET REVOLVER are reportedly putting out their 2nd album called "Liberated" on May 15th. If only they'd liberate us from the mediocre music they're putting out. The band is posting video clips on Youtube of the recording process. If you freeze frame at the right sections, you can actually see some visable coke residue. ZING!
