Uh oh. Looks like there's trouble in Paradise City.

We haven't brought you a good WTF in a while -- well, besides anything Courtney Love said -- so I thought I'd share this video of a guitarist in a hair metal cover band having a bit of a change of heart with regards to his career path. In other words, he's going solo!

And just before they played "You Give Love a Bad Name," too. Rats!

Smart move on his part. I've been in a couple of shitty cover bands where I wanted to do the exact same thing. The closest I got was showing up at a rehearsal, taking my gear, and leaving.
