There is no easy way to say this…our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today on December 28th, just four days after his 70th birthday, after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game with his family. We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren’t words. We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please… play Motörhead loud, play Lemmy’s music LOUD. Have a drink or few. Share stor

In a week from now, we are catching up with Joe Satriani when he is visiting The Netherlands for his Shockwave Tour. Satriani is the quintessential electric guitar guru. His lyrical, soaring compositions are technically dazzling. He approaches his guitar like an olympic athlete preparing for the floor exercises. He is a gymnast on the fingerboard, cartwheeling and somersaulting across the frets, illustrating his dedication to practice and creative exploration. One of the most

This one is the 7th Marshall ever made! Jim Marshall build is at his kitchentable and signed it by hand at the back. This unique piece of history still rocks like a baby as Ad Vandenberg recorded his record with the Moonkings on it. #Adrianvandenberg #Adje #Marshall #FatherofLoud #JimMarshall #History

The 7th Marshall ever built, by Jim Marshall himself as the marker drawn signatu

A mash-up between a viking and an WWF wrestler. A friendly giant and a hell of a guitar player. That is Zakk Wylde. Best known as the former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, and founder of the heavy metal band Black Label Society. We had the honour to meet him and had a great talk about the Marshall amp, the factory and 'father' Jim Marshall. #Ozzy #Zakkwylde #Marshall #FatherofLoud #Metal

We had the pleasure to meet Billy F. Gibbons. The guitarist of the American rock band ZZ Top. Gibbons formed ZZ Top in late 1969, which then quickly settled on bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank "Rube" Beard. The band rolled on, intensively touring and recording/releasing albums until 1977, when they took an extended hiatus. They reunited two-and-a-half years later in order to start recording under a new Warner Bros. contract. Unbeknownst to each other at the time,

Wylde exclusively uses Marshall JCM 800's. “As long as it says Marshall on it, we’re good to go.” -- Zakk Wylde.

He was 20 years old by then. In 1998 Wylde formed Black Label Soci
