As a fellow guitar player, I have to admit…this is frickin’ impressive! UK-based Tom Bingham, a 64-year-old retired printer, created an amazing collection of custom made electric guitars in the shape of some of our favorite spaceships from Star Wars … including the Y-wing Starfighter, Millennium Falcon and B-wing fighter. I know what you’re thinking…

The Best Version of the Beatles’ “Let it Be” you will ever Hear
Who knew the cello could be so cool? About 3 years ago, 16-year-old cellist Nathan Chan and 15-year-old violinist Michael Province recorded this amazingly nerdy rendition of the Beatles’ classic “Let It Be”. As we cellists say, “Cello: The Best Vibrations between Your Legs”…Seriously, I was blown away, these kids are amazing.
Vans Unveils Metallica Shoe that Plays Clips of Lars Ulrich Talking with each Step
Everybody knows that I am a HUGE Metallica fan, but as much as I love the music, not so sure if I am a big fan of hearing Lars Ulrich’s voice with every step I make. Sure the limited-edition sunglass frame designed by Metallica’s frontman James Hetifeld are hela-cool. And it can be yours for
Star Wars Theme on Fisher-Price 3D Printed Records
Who could forget, probably the first introduction to music for us kids who grew up in the 70s and 80s,that vintage, jangly sound of the Fisher-Price Record Player. Now those classics, like ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’ and ‘London Bridge’ can be replaced with some new childrens favorites from music likings of Metallica and Slayer. Using

Squid Dances to Cypress Hill ‘Insane in the Membrane’
TIL…Squids may or may not dig Cypress Hill. How do I know? The folks over at Backyard Brains hooked up an iPod playing ‘Insane in the membrane’ to a Longfin Inshore squid…of course since the subject has no ears, they pulled off the earbuds and placed the wire into the fin nerve. In turn the

Addicted to Heavy Metal, Man gets Disability Pay
Does it seem like the world just keeps getting more bizarre as time goes by? Although this story goes back a few years, it is so so ridiculously awesome that I had to chime in. I have heard of getting disability pay for being a severe alcoholic (which I am still trying to apply for)…but
Portable Suitcase Drum Set
If it weren’t for the guitar player getting the most chicks in a band, I probably would have learnt how to play the drums. Your excuse for the drums taking up too much space is about to fall on deaf ears. Ken Preece, cut a hole in the side of an old suitcase, stuffed a
Skull Violins
For only $3,000 you can own this Stratton Skull 5-string electric violin by Statton Violin. Perfect for the violinist in a heavy metal band, these superbly crafted electric violins don’t just look evil, but they are sound amazing…as you can tell by watching the video. Next up the Alien violin? [Cheers laughingsquid]
