The twist and turns of the metal universe are at once enthralling and infuriating. One minute (well more like a 25 year minute) Saxon are has-beens and the next they are on C4 Harvey Goldsmith’s Get Your Act Together (yes, they did look a bit sad but any publicity is good publicity). To top this off they are one of the acts on stage three at Download and end the weekend as one of the most talked about bands.

Paul Gilbert Interview: Master of Shred

Owen Edwards — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:04:25 +0000

The name Paul Gilbert conjures up images of death defying shred and an almost unmatched technical ferocity, yet there's much more to this most genial of guitarists than pure guitar wizardry. Whilst Paul is undoubtably one of the most fearsomely gifted guitarists ever to draw breath, he also combines an advanced compositional ability with a great pop sensibilty - quite simply the man is a great songwriter, something often ovelooked.

US guitar genius Sonny Landreth is arguably the most respected slide player in the world today. I have long been aware of the man through numerous name checks from players such as Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler - through to cutting edge players like Brett Garsed and Guthrie Govan - but haven't listened in depth until his latest album 'From The Reach' dropped through the letterbox. This album features a truly stellar array of guests, including the aforementioned Clapton and Knopfler, as well as Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Jimmy Buffet and Vince Gill.
