A lot of bands are looking to bring something different to their live shows. Lately a lot of bands are planning on playing the entire track list of one of their classic albums, live. I don’t know if it’s to build hype and sell tickets or just to keep things kind of interesting. Whatever the reasoning behind it, I love it and think it’s a great idea.

Aerosmith pretty much started the band based Guitar Hero line and the latest band rumored to get an upcoming release on the game is Van Halen. Deservingly I guess, Eddie Van Halen is a guitar hero.

Besides, I don’t like to compare guitar virtuosos of yesterday to players of today. A lot of guitar players these days play for speed more than …read more

When I lived up in near Watertown NY there was a car franchise with this heavy Italian dude that owned it called Fucillo Auto. Everywhere you would go you would hear the stupid commercials on T.V. and the radio and his tag line was “It’s Gonna Be ‘Uge”. Every damn sale was gonna be ‘Uge. So then I move to NC and now I have to put up with Marc Jacobson and his stupid dog. Enough of my griping.

Well there is a big difference between sounding like Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and playing like Joe Perry. But if you want to at least start out by learning how to sound like him (His tone), Gibson.com can actually show you how you can capture his tone when recording.

Aerosmith -Big Ten Inch~

Big Ten Inch what?? You’ll have to listen to the song or read the lyrics to find out…but chances are if your not an Aerosmith fan or have never heard the song before, your guess is probably not correct. Another older classic Aerosmith hit. The blues are obviously an influence of the band, and why wouldn’t the blues be an influence. The blues pretty much influence every rock song in history and if you think I’m …read more
