ZAKK WYLDE’S stolen guitar found in Chicago Pawn Shop

May 4, 2014

We are pleased to let you know that Zakk Wylde‘s STOLEN Pelham Blues Les Paul Custom Guitar has been found! We brought you the story on March 14th about how the custom guitar was stolen off his tour bus during the Experience Hendrix show at the Chicago Theater. Social media was trending posts as a call to find the stolen guitar! You can read that initial post here. The guitar turned up at a Chicago area pawn shop that happens to be the setting of truTV’s Hardcore Pawn reality show. It was reported in the Chicago Tribune story how “The owners of Royal Pawn Shop, 428 S. Clark St., said a man came in to sell the guitar on March 24 – about 10 days after it was reported stolen from Wylde” They also claim they forgot about the alert and paid only around $50 for the guitar. $50 bucks for a GIBSON!! Hard to believe but I who knows…that’s TV for ya… Anyway, we are glad to see the stolen guitar get recovered and even more [Read More]

Also, by no means is Black Stone Cherry playing it [Read More]

Day 11 of 12 Days of Guitarists goes to Satchel of Steel Panther

December 24, 2013

Today is not only Christmas Eve but we are on Day 11 of 12 Days of Guitarists! Today we feature Satchel of Steel Panther. Just yesterday, Steel Panther ranked in at the Number 2 Spot for bands to rule 2014 and today is Satchel‘s day. You might be surprised to find a guitarist from a so called “parody band” on the list, but Satchel has the full package! He not only shreds on his guitar and has incredible solos, but also one of the best stage presences EVER! Yes, it may be, because he personifies all the great ’80 rockers/metal heads into his own style but nonetheless, he is a BAD ASS and DAMN FUN to watch. Check out Satchel in the tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together which includes footage and photos from their San Francisco show at the Regency Ballroom earlier this year. Satchel is on tour with Steel Panther and next year they are releasing their highly anticipated new album, All You Can Eat. Make sure to catch him out [Read More]

Day 10 of 12 Days of Guitarists goes to Steve Stevens

December 23, 2013

Only three spots remain on our 12 Days of Guitarists for 2013 and Day 10 goes to one of my personal favorites; Steve Stevens. Steve is most notably known for his 30 year career as guitarist and songwriter for Billy Idol. Steve is also know for his solo work, collaborations as well as frequently playing with the all star band, Camp Freddy and other projects including soundtracks. Just this past weekend Camp Freddy had three sold out packed to gills shows at The Roxy. Steve was there and he was just a madman on his guitar as usual. I didn’t get to catch him at the most recent Camp Freddy shows but I have seen him many times perform with Billy Idol and he is just spectacular live! One thing is for sure about Steve, he can play so many different styles and make them his own. His guitar playing knows no genres or boundaries, just pure talent all the way through. He truly perfects one of my most favorite styles; flamenco. When he performs [Read More]
