G U I T A R H O L I D A Y ..:.. meaningless guitar driven drivel

We promise eclectic rants, uninformed reviews and all around foolishness revolving around that awe inspiring instrument, the guitar. We won't fill your screen with meaningless schematics of obscure amplifiers or trite reviews of "the latest gear", you can get that everywhere else. What we do promise is tongue in cheek humor, cool shit that you'll love to get your paws on, as well as artist and gear reviews, industry drool and our own thoughts on any and everything guitar. Enjoy.

Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan sent an email to fans last week in which he said that A Perfect

Circle, the band he formed in 2000 with guitarist Billy Howerdel, is still a going concern even though both Keenan and Howerdel are both now involved with other projects. Keenan wrote, "As many of you may have heard, Billy and I are engaged in our own little projects for the moment. His is called Ashes Divide and mine is called Puscifer...Please be advised that A Perfect Circle and Tool are still alive and well. This is simply more." A Perfect Circle went on hiatus in 2004 after issuing three studio albums and one live set, while Keenan went back to work with Tool and Howerdel began assembling ashes Divide. Want free copy of Puscifer? Fuck yea you do! Go here, pilgrims. 5/14/08

Happy Birthday Robert Johnson.

That dramatic version of the end of Robert Johnson’s life―hastened by a jealous husband and a bottle of poisoned whiskey at a juke joint outside Greenwood, Mississippi, in August 1938―conjured by the poet and revolutionary John Sinclair is typical of the kind of romantic visions the Delta blues giant’s music and patchwork story have inspired since his recordings were first reissued in 1966.
