We all know and love Metallica. Power chords, double-bass drums and swinging hair. And we all love Gallagher. Smashing watermelons, giant couches and newsboy caps. So what’s not to love about a mashup of the two, Metallagher?

Bone Burnett who oversaw the production of the ‘O Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski soundtracks. Full story…

Almost anyone who has picked up a guitar has imagined what it would be like to jam with one of your favorite bands. If you think about it, Rockband and Guitar Hero are both kind of based on fulfilling this little musical fantasy. But what if you could actually jam with one of your favorite bands or guitar heroes?
We’ve found a few examples of where this dream came true for a few lucky fans.
