Gibson's top four rock guitarists
Some great guitar players have used Gibson guitars to tear up the fretboard and entertain the masses. Here's afew of the players that have used Gibson guitars to bring rock & heavy metal to the people.
- Angus Young. Arguably THE most famous guitar player to play a Gibson guitar on the planet, Angus Young and AC/DC have been rocking out since most of us were ever born, and he is still going strong today. Angus has rarley ever been seen without his Gibson SG, although he also owns a Gibson Firebird & a 335.
Classic tracks: Highway to hell, back in black, let there be rock - Slash. 'Saul Hudson', as his mother knows him, has been playing with a Les Paul since during the recording our Guns and Roses classic debut album 'appetite for destruction'. But what many people dont know is that it was a Les Paul 'copy', not an actual Gibson. It didnt matter, as Slash's use of the instrument made the guitar even more iconic in the 80s and helped to increase sales in the instrument. Gibson have released a Slash signature model, but he still plays his 1987 Les Paul standard as his main guitar playing live.
Classic tracks: Welcome to the jungle, Sweet child of mine, Slither - Tony Iommi. The father of the heavy metal riff, Tony Iommi and Black Sabbath shook the world with their arrival in the seventies. Iommi lost his middle & index fingertips in an industral accident and had to relearn to play guitar all over again -inspired by Django Rienhardt, who had limited use of his 3rd and 4th fingers. Iommi has been playing with a Gibson SG since the recording of the first Black Sabbath album when his Fender's neck pickup broke and hasnt returned to them since.
Classic tracks: Paranoid, Black Sabbath, War pigs - Zakk Wylde. Ozzy bought Zakk into his solo band after being sent a tape of him playing, and Wylde has been playing with him on and off ever since. Zakk also has his successful 'side project' Black label society, which tours and records in Ozzy downtime. Wylde's guitars are reconisable by their 'bullseye' paint job, which are on his signature Les Paul range.
Classic tracks:Suicide messiah, Still born, In this river
What can I do to stop getting shocked every time I touch metal objects in my home that is wall to wall carpet?
I get shocked every time I touch anything metal or electric wired such as my mouse on my computer, the light switches and even the metal top to my lizard's tank. Help! It hurts!
A co worker suggested getting a de humifier to alleviate the electro static condition...any suggestions?
