Guitar Gear Review: DiMarzio DP214 Virtual Hot PAF Humbucker

What a cool pickup! This one was brought to my attention by one of my pals on the inside of the pickup business. Yep, I'd never heard of this one before. I was talking to him about going through a lot of the Van Halen-themed pickups, and he got right to business by pointing out this one. Virtual Hot....

Why CBS’ New Star Trek Reboot is Doomed to Fail

CBS announced this week that a new Star Trek series will debut in 2017. CBS thought the Star Trek fanboys would put the network’s executives on their shoulders and carry them down West 52nd Street with a ticker tape parade. It seems CBS is the latest media company to grossly misunderstand this unique fan base. As soon as the series...

Movie Review – Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

The tendency of the Paranormal Activity films – and indeed, a lot of long-running horror series – is to deepen the mythology and provide more answers and motivations with each sequel. This tracks as antithetical, going against the ambiguous grain that makes the originals successful. But while it might dilute the horror, this expansive approach can work if done...

5 Questions with Guitarist Extraordinaire Warner E. Hodges of Jason and the Scorchers

This week's 5 Questions is with the incredible Warner Hodges of Jason and the Scorchers fame. I really appreciate him taking a few from his incredibly busy schedule to play along! So here it is. Vintage Guitar magazine described Warner as “part Don Rich through a Marshall, part Angus Young on a Tele” and I guess that is pretty fair...

Guitar Gear Review: Mojotone “Custom Wound” Jimmy Page Humbucker Set

Our next stop on the Jimmy Page tone quest is in North Carolina, where the skilled winders at Mojotone will make you an excellent custom pickup. Since Mojotone already has the ' in their lineup, I thought I'd call their pickup guru David Shepherd to discuss the options. Before going further, check out the '59 Clone as well. It...

Rock Stars’ Favorite James Bond w/ Zakk Wylde, Lamb of God, Coal Chamber & Others

As Spectre the twenty-fourth James Bond film hit theaters the debate of the best Bond continues. For me it is without a doubt Roger Moore. Reason being Roger was at the helm when I first was introduced to the series. If you as a fan a bit older than me the answer will probably be Sean Connery. You might...

343 Industries Hints Halo 5 Could Be Coming to PC

Video Game Roundtable Episode 236: Jam and the Hooligans - The episode is a day late, sorry about that, folks. In this episode, we wish Paul was with us to discuss what he thought of the release of Jem and the Holograms in theaters. The banter is strong, but not overstuffed like last week. Lots of news this week, however:...

Guitar Gear Review: George Lynch Arcane Inc. Mr Scary Humbucker

This pickup is a bit of a rarity for me, as it's one I'd been keeping my eye on for a while without jumping on....although not for lack of trying. More than anything, there has been so little out there about the tone that resonated with anything that hit home. I remember when this one came on the scene about...
