A few minutes ago, a friend pointed me to this video. God, I laughed my heart out, can this even be possible?!!

Not related to guitars, only to music and human stupidity, but worth every second of it.
I beg you, take a few seconds to watch this cause it’s freaking unbelievable!

And, guys, please have mercy, spread this around!!!
God, we are too many on this earth! Ken Leeeee, tulibu dibu douchoo!!

I guess I’ve been hit again by the featuring-mania, I don’t know. And damn, it’s again Slash,after writing that post with Slash top 5 featuring acts, I seem to find him everywhere. But I have never thought I will find Slash playing with Ozzy.

The performance itself is nice but there are a few things I can not stop myself making fun of.

• I love Slash’s “pose”, his image when being on stage, that shaking of his guitar when holding a power chord, the same I know from GNR’s times (at 2:26).
• I smiled when I saw him balancing and making that spread-out-legs “rock icon” pose, bowing over his guitar while picking the notes of a simple clean chord, like in a very demanding solo, even if this song…has no solo!! So I didn’t quite understand what Slash contributed with, beside him being on stage…
• The concentration of round sun glasses is way too high there…

I have seen this on Strat-o-Blogster, I don’t usually post things that other fellow bloggers have already posted but this is WILD!! I just couldn’t keep myself from posting this here! I watched it over and over again!!!

Later edit: I have thought about this kid singing here, I have seen a lot of children singing, it is our nature I guess and at that age we probably have little to no embarrassment constraints, so a lot of children sing, but this one has a ear for it.

Am I right?

Without assuming the paternity of these lines (I found them on the internet at one point, I just don’t remember where) here’s the…

Funny Top 10 List For A Successful Power Metal Band

1. In a power metal world, everything steel is good, and anything good must be compared to steel.
2. You are allowed to be blonde.
3. Pick a theme and stick to it. Manowar are warriors of true metal, and they don’t get to sing about anything else. Rhapsody has their Algalord chronicles. Hammerfall has their steel, hammers, and templar. Running Wild has pirates. Blind Guardian has Tolkein. None of them are allowed to sing about anything else.
4. If at all possible, be Michael Kiske. If this is not possible, pretend to be Michael Kiske.
5. Your album cover should include at least one of the following: fire, steel, weird glowing magical items, irregularly muscular men, fists thrust into the air, weaponry, magic creatures (preferably dragons), or bright beams of light around somebody/something.
6. 16th notes are the only notes. Unless you’re singing, in which case you are not permitted to hold a note for any less than 2 bars. By the way, you need at least two guitar players. How else are you going to have dueling guitar solos?
7. If you can’t be Michael Kiske, you can at least be Timo Tolkki. Actually, don’t be Timo Tolkki.
8. Wizards! You need wizards!
9. Wear armor if at all possible. Hammerfall can give you an idea of the variety of acceptable armors, ranging from leather to ring-mail.
10. Never leave Europe.For purposes of the above, Japan may be counted as part of Europe. Oh, and South America was colonized by Europeans, so it can count too.

Just as a note to those of you already angry at me for publishing this list: guys, please keep in mind I am a fan of power metal. I lived on Helloween rhythms, I love Michael Kiske’s voice and used to fall asleep with Eric Adams (Manowar) screaming into my ears. When being 17 years old I remember I fell asleep and the phone started to ring and I remember thinking (in between sleeping and waking up) what’s that sound that I have never managed to hear before…

It was my phone ringing and my mother screaming at me to turn the stereo down…

OK, no guitars in this post but because it made me laugh and due to cultural associations (you know, Gothic rock and stuff) I have decided to post this here. So, here we go!

This guy walks his fiancee on a leash all day long. While trying to get into a bus the driver stopped them by telling them that on his bus no dog is allowed. Man, was this one funny guy or what?!! Am I retarded or is the world going too fast for me?

You can read the whole story here.

Well, today I have discovered (thanks to Dr J) an other way of singing (not playing) hard rock! I can tell you that in the beginning I didn’t understand what it was all about, then I got it and it made my day!

I feel like in that movie, Sliders, where people travel from one universe to an other (it runs here on TV, OK?) where Apocalyptica does not exist under the same form I used to know, but exists under the form below.
