Jeff Beck never had a signature song the way his peers did, but the genres he explored throughout his career — from British Invasion pop to blues-rock to fusion and beyond — chart the changes in rock over decades

Words cannot describe how monumental the loss of Edward Van Halen is to the music community. He inspired generations of guitar players of all genres. His playing was unrivaled in its ingenuity and its ferocity. Rest In Peace to the greatest Rock Guitarist of all time.

I think there are two disturbing trends in the concert business. 1: This baffling trend of "fans" throwing objects such as phones, drinks, etc at artists onstage. 2: Equally disturbing is the blatant use of tracks by artist at "live" shows. An outright fleecing of real fans.
