If you haven't already done so, check out Frets on Fire, an open source clone of the guitar hero franchise. Instead of a toy guitar, you are to hold your keyboard upside down and use the function keys as frets while "strumming" via the return key.
There are also a bunch of communities who add frets-on-fire files for a growing library of commercial songs as well.
Good shit.
While this song off Bruce Dickinson's Chemical Wedding is pretty catchy etc. etc., it's the solo by Roy Z that has me constantly coming back for another listen.
Good shit.
I was totally unaware of the existence of this video. Mind-fucking-blowing song.
TMZ.com report:
VAN HALEN has finally found it's new bassist - and it looks like the rock gods are keeping the band a family affair.
TMZ is first to confirm that Van Halen has hired 15-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen - the son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen and estranged wife Valerie Bertinelli, and nephew of drummer Alex Van Halen - as the new bassist for the band.
