The first great guitar record, according to John Lennon

February 28, 2026admin0

How the “most underrated American record” became Dave Grohl’s rock bible

February 28, 2026admin0

Despite being in two of the most successful bands of the last two centuries, for years, Dave Grohl has moulded himself into the musician’s musician. Outside of fronting Foo Fighters, one of the most successful bands in the world, Grohl’s penchant for waxing poetic about the more underground side of rock and roll has endeared […]

HE SAT BEHIND THE DRUM KIT AND ROBERT PLANT COULDN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES. Twenty-seven years had passed since John Bonham died, and Led Zeppelin had vowed never to reunite because “no one could replace Bonzo.” But at the O2 Arena that night, the vow was broken in the most emotional way possible. When the lights hit the drum riser, the person sitting there wasn’t John, but Jason – his son. Jason was the spitting image of his dad, from that slightly hunched posture to the sheer power of his grip on the sticks. When the first thunderous beats of “Kashmir” rang out, Robert Plant turned to look. For a split second, the legendary golden-haired frontman was stunned. His eyes welled up with tears. It was like seeing his dearest friend brought back to life in the form of his son. It wasn’t just music; it was bloodline, a painful yet glorious legacy. But the thing that moved Robert Plant the most was the moment the song ended, when Jason made a small gesture toward his dad up above…

December 10, 2007. The O2 Arena in London. The atmosphere wasn’t just electric; it was suffocating. Twenty million people had applied for tickets, but only 18,000 stood inside. They were the lucky witnesses to the impossible: Led Zeppelin was back. For 27 years, the surviving members—Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones—had held onto […]

February 27, 2026admin0

How John Deacon gave a Queen classic a punk feel: “He played it on a Stratocaster”

February 27, 2026admin0

Punk might have established itself as the abrasive to commercial, mainstream rock back in the 1970s, but the divide between those two very disparate musical worlds wasn’t always quite as binary as the likes of Johnny Rotten might have you believe. Particularly during its early days, when the scene was void of any musical talent […]

What song did Elvis Presley perform live the most?

February 27, 2026admin0

For somebody who was forced away from live performance for so long, first by his call to the Army and then by the iron rule of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, it’s incredible just how many concerts Elvis Presley managed to perform in his career in the end. Though the true number is lost to […]

February 27, 2026admin0

There’s practically nothing that Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose ever saw eye-to-eye on. Both of them certainly loved the rock and roll music that they played every single time they performed live, but each of them was coming from a completely different angle whenever they put their emotions down on record. Cobain was the one […]
