In 1995, one of the Big Four, Megadeth, released a compilation called Hidden Treasures, which was a strong B-side EP of fist-pumpers that were found on film soundtracks and tribute albums. It looks as if multi-platinum-selling Chicago-based rockers Disturbed is following loyally in Megadeth's footprints.

Snow Patrol’s sixth album, Fallen Empires, delivers what most fans have come to expect over the years. It’s not the leap a band like Coldplay had attempted; instead, it is a subtle tweak to their style with hope of bringing something slightly new. Singer Gary Lightbody and gang appear to be inspired by U2 and R.E.M. throughout.

The Gibson Learn & Master Guitar App is one of the most practical free guitar downloads for your iPhone. The app offers multiple features including a tuner, metronome, chord charts, video guitar lessons (courtesy of GuitarApprentice.com) and an app version of Gibson's website. Though the chord diagrams and lessons are geared toward beginners, the tuner and metronome make the app a valuable tool for all guitarists.
