The first Marshall amp ever made is set to leave its museum home in Milton Keynes for the first time in history, and head out across Europe. As part of its 50th Anniversary celebrations, the company has teamed up with Hard Rock Cafe and will allow visitors to Cafes across the continent to see the No. 1 up close. The amp will start its journey in Barcelona (May 22nd to 29th), before moving on to Rome (June 4th to 13th), Paris (June 18th to 25th) and Berlin (June 29th to July 6th). It will then reach London just in time for Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park on July 13th to 15th and a guest appearance at Hard Rock Cafe London's music museum The Vault from July 16th to August 3rd. Its final destination will be Hard Rock Cafe New York, where it will stay for the rest of August. “We’re delighted to bring a great piece of rock memorabilia to some of our European Cafes this summer. Marshall have been integral to the rock scene since the early days and to give our customers and guests at Hard Rock Calling the one off opportunity to get a real insight and up close look at the first ever Marshall Amp is fantastic,” said Marc Carey, regional sales and marketing for Hard Rock Europe.

Alongside headliners Mumford and Sons, Biffy Clyro and Deadmau5, the organisers of Rockness have freshly announced The Pigeon Detectives, Jeff Mills, Ash, Rob Da Bank, Errors, Sound of Guns, The Correspondents, Nina Nesbitt, Saint Saviour, All the Young and Theophilus London to join the more than already impressive 2012 line up. The Pigeon Detectives have all the right upbeat and energetic enthusiasm required to help bring out Scotland's sunshine; the platinum selling five piece are set to bring their sound of sculpting guitars and scudding choruses to the festival following a highly successful European tour. Sound of Guns also provide an uplifting spirit to the festival, not through pop and melody however but through noise and hard rock. Jeff Mills is one of the biggest names in dance and electronica, and is set to bring barmy beats and ravers to the festival. Rob Da Bank is also an intriguing invitee to the dance side of Rockness (dance of course setting the grounds for the original Rockness). For more information, tickets and lineup announcements, stay tuned to the website www.rockness.co.uk.

Five members of Guns N’ Roses took to the stage to perform at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, but vocalist Axl Rose wasn’t one of them. Keeping true to his word, Rose skipped the induction, but his place on stage was taken by Slash/Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy, who led original members Slash, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler (as well as Use Your Illusion-era members Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke) in performances of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Mr. Brownstone” and “Paradise City.”

Linkin Park’s new album promises to be a direct reaction to their 2010 electronica-influenced concept album A Thousand Suns, vocalist Chester Bennington says. In an interview with Spin magazine, Bennington says the band is working with producer Rick Rubin on album number five. “The very first question Rick asked when he met us was, ‘What kind of record do you want to make?’” Bennington said. “Our response was, ‘Well, anything that doesn’t sound like what we did before would be a good place to start.’ And he was like, ‘Great, because that’s the only answer I would’ve accepted.’ That sold us on working with him.” For the new album Linkin Park plan to embrace their strengths – such as electronic textures, heavy guitars and impassioned vocal delivery – and filter them through the lessons learned from the A Thousand Suns experience. “Some of these songs started off really mellow,” rapper/producer Mike Shinoda says. “Some sounded very electro, and a few were folk, essentially. It’s bizarre to remember that now, hearing what’s so clearly a mix of all of our influences. Our tastes have gotten even broader since we started, if you can imagine that. It’s like wrangling kittens.” The album, which is currently awaiting a title, is due in June.

Dave Grohl has been in the studio working with his former Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic and Nirava's 'Nevermind' producer Butch Vig. Vig tweeted the news writing, 'The last 24 hours have been surreal! Had a great gig at the El Rey last night, and spent today recording with Dave, Krist and special guest!'. The last time Butch, Dave and Krist worked together was on the iconic Nirvana 'Nevermind' album from 1991. Vig's tweet raises the question about what were they doing it for and just who is the 'special guest'. Butch recently reformed his old band Garbage and they will release their 5th album 'Not Your Kind Of People' in May. Novoselic has been involved with politics in recent years and authored the book 'Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy'. Grohl remains committed to Foo Fighters and his side project Them Crooked Vultures. He has also been making a documentary on Sound City Studios, where 'Nevermind' was recorded in Van Nuys. It is thought that the Butch, Dave, Krist recording may be related to Dave's documentary project.

Nearly 35 years to the day since its original release, Universal Music confirmed today that they will re-release the Sex Pistols alternative national anthem - 'God Save The Queen' on May 28th. It will be exactly 35 years and a day after it was first released, in a barrage of controversy the likes of which the UK had rarely seen. No one had ever dared question the Monarchy so publicly; and it wasn't without its repercussions. Members of the band were attacked in the streets; and Government Members of Parliament even called for the Pistols to be hung at Traitors' Gate! Originally released on May 27th 1977, during the Queen's Silver Jubilee, 'God Save The Queen' made its mark in history. The BBC amongst others refused to play it and although it technically out-sold the Number 1 record of the week (The First Cut is the Deepest by Rod Stewart) 'GSTQ' peaked at Number 2 in the singles charts. The powers-that-be refused to acknowledge it but the Sex Pistols were Number 1. On the Jubilee holiday itself, June 7th 1977, the Sex Pistols arranged their own Jubilee tribute with a boat trip along the River Thames in full view of the Houses of Parliament. After playing a handful of songs Police boarded the boat and arrested several people; including the band's then manager Malcolm McLaren. Their now legendary album 'Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols' will also be re-issued in September of this year as an expanded and repacked release to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of its release and the band have also announced that a limited edition 7' picture disc of their first ever single 'Anarchy In The UK' will be released on April 21st for Record Store Day.

The man who gave rock one of its key visual and sonic props has died. Jim Marshall, known as "The Father of Loud" for inventing the Marshall amplifier, was 88 years old. Marshall was a drummer and drum teacher who used his earnings to set up a music shop in west London in 1960. Among his customers were the likes of Ritchie Blackmore and Pete Townshend, and it was through talking to them that Marshall realised there was a gap in the market for a guitar amplifier cheaper than the American-made models popular at the time. When, at Townshend's request, a Marshall 1959 amplifier head was teamed with a cabinet, the "Marshall stack" was born, becoming the defining feature in rock bands' backlines for generations to come. Virtually every major guitarist has used Marshall amps at one time or another, and giant arrays of Marshall cabs – often suggested to be empty boxes, with no actual amplification purposes – have become key stage props for generations of metal bands, especially. Among the musicians paying their respects to the late innovator was former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who tweeted: "The news of Jim Marshall passing is deeply saddening. R & R will never be the same w/out him. But, his amps will live on FOREVER!" American blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa also showed his appreciation on Twitter: "A very sad day for the Marshall family. My thoughts and prayers go out to Paul and his family. Rest in Peace Jim Marshall OBE." Marshall Amps posted a tribute to its founder on its website. It read: "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved founder and leader for the past 50 years, Jim Marshall. While mourning the Guv'nor though, we also salute a legendary man who led a full and truly remarkable life. "Jim's ascent into the history books as 'the Father of Loud' and the man responsible for 'the Sound of Rock' is a true rags-to-riches tale. Cruelly robbed of his youth by tubercular bones, Jim rose to become one of the four forefathers responsible for creating the tools that allowed rock guitar as we know and love it today to be born. The groundbreaking quartet also includes the late, great trio of Leo Fender, Les Paul and Seth Lover – together with Jim, they truly are the cornerstones of all things rock. "In addition to the creation of the amps chosen by countless guitar heroes and game-changing bands, Jim was also an incredibly humble and generous man who, over the past several decades, has quietly donated many millions of pounds to worthy causes. "While the entire Marshall Amplification family mourns Jim's passing and will miss him tremendously, we all feel richer for having known him and are happy in the knowledge that he is now in a much better place which has just got a whole lot louder! "Rest in Peace & thank you Jim. "Your memory; the music and joy your amps have brought to countless millions for the past five decades; and that world-famous, omnipresent script logo that proudly bears your name will always live on."

Swedish manufacturer Clavia is introducing the Nord Electro 4D in Frankfurt, a lightweight instrument with 61-key Semi Weighted Waterfall key bed and the same drawbars as the C2D. The Organ section features a brand new tone wheel engine, also derived from the C2D. The Click-modelling has been improved and there’s a brand new Rotary Speaker simulation with new Drive. It also supports Long Release suitable for legato playing and selectable String Resonance. Handling programs is easy with four Program Banks and four Live Locations. The Effect section now includes a new Delay Effect with tap-tempo, rate, amount and a stereo Ping-Pong mode and the USB port doubles as an USB-MIDI interface.

Roland has once again chosen Musikmesse as the launch pad for a vast assortment of new instruments and accessories across a variety of product categories. The new mid-range TD-15K and TD-15KV V-Tour electronic drum kits inherit the SuperNATURAL sounds and Behaviour Modelling first used on the TD-30 kit, meaning drummers can now experience SuperNATURAL performance, authenticity and expression in a more affordable, compact format. They feature 100 onboard kits and 50 presets, as well as a diverse sound library that covers a wide variety of genres, QUICK EDIT buttons, a COACH function that helps build skills efficiently and USB connectivity allows it to be hooked up to a computer. The SuperNATURAL engine can now be accessed at the entry level as well, thanks to the new TD-11K and TD-11KV V-Compact sets. These kits also offer Behaviour Modelling, which provides a complete and natural drumming experience, along with 50 onboard kits and 25 presets, COACH and USB functions and a compact, solid MDS-4V drum stand for fast setup and convenient transport. Both the TD-15 and TD-11 drum sound modules are equipped with large LCD screens and simple user interfaces. The JUPITER-50 synthesizer combines the expression of the JUPITER-80 with the portability of the JUNO series. Featuring a library of SuperNATURAL sounds powered by Roland's most advanced sound engine, the highly portable JUPITER-50 is equipped with a 76-note weighted keyboard, an interface loaded with intuitive colour-coded buttons and sliders, a registration function for saving and selecting sounds instantly, professional quality multi-effects and high quality reverb, expressive performance controllers, including D-Beam, pitch/mod lever and control input jacks and a USB Song Player/Recorder. It comes bundled with SONAR LE and a JUPITER-50 Control Surface plug-in for SONAR as well. Packed with more than 1,500 SuperNATURAL synthesizer tones and over 70 SuperNATURAL acoustic instruments – each with its own dedicated sound engine – the instrument lets users choose, stack and edit any combination of four tones to create custom live sets. Roland has also introduced two new guitar amps – the GA-112 and GA-212. With the latest COSM amp model onboard — Progressive Amp, which offers impressive feel, attack, compression and sustain — the GA-112 delivers original sound creation, intuitive control and high levels of comfort, expression and playability. Its single 12" speaker and 100-Watts of power makes it perfect for rehearsal studios or small to medium-size venues. It also features two volume controls, three tone controls, presence and reverb, the Smart Channel memorises the latest position of knobs in all four channels without programming or saving and LED knobs show the current position of the knobs in any channel, making it great for dark stages. The GA-212 offers similar features, except it produces 200 Watts from two 12" speakers and the user can go from Clean to 'Super Extreme' via the Drive knob and Boost button. The new F-120R is a compact, lightweight entry-level piano that combines interactive rhythm accompaniment with Roland’s SuperNATURAL piano sound engine. Available in three polished cabinet finishes – Ebony, Red, and Ivory – it lets the user play along with 60 rhythm accompaniment and backing tracks in three different modes – Split Chord, Split Tone and Split Off (Pianist Mode). In Pianist mode, any chord played will be recognised and tracked instantly. Additional rhythm accompaniments and backing tracks can be added via USB. It also offers a newly developed full-keyboard chord-recognition engine, an Ivory Feel-G keyboard, dedicated front-panel buttons for practice lessons and performance, as well as metronome, recorder and Twin Piano features. The WNA1100-RL is a compact wireless USB adapter for Roland Wireless Connect. Roland Wireless Connect is a system that allows Roland electronic musical instruments to communicate fluidly with the iPhone. It consists of a wireless USB adapter and two new iOS apps (Air Recorder and V-Drums Friend Jam). For vocalists, the VE-5 is a versatile vocal processor that's simple enough for beginners, but powerful enough for professionals. Users can take it onstage and attach it to a microphone stand for real-time performance, or use it as a tabletop processor. The VE-5 is compact and light, yet its effects are derived from the VE-20 vocal processor (Reverb, Delay, Double/Harmony, Dynamics, Pitch Correct, Tone/SFX). It also offers battery operation and built-in phrase looping. The BK-5 OR backing keyboard is able to offer evocative sounds from the Middle East, as well as Turkey and North Africa. It retains all characteristics and features of the recently announced BK-5 and adds newly created sounds and rhythms. Features include 12 scale-tuning buttons with dedicated scale memories, Instant playback of backing tracks directly from USB memory, a simple, easy-to-use graphical interface and a video output. Designed to partner a number of Roland's MIDI-compatible organs, the PK-9 is a 20-key dynamic polyphonic pedalboard with velocity sensitivity and the successor to the PK-7A MIDI pedalboard. It features three selectable velocity touches (Soft, Medium, Hard), two left/right footswitches, Damper Pedal, a seven-segment display and a PK output socket. The RH-A7 headphones are the ideal digital piano companions. They provide high-quality sound that lets the user experience the complete, dynamic range of modern digital pianos. From delicate pianissimo to forceful fortissimo, these headphones handle every nuance and detail of your performance. Finally, the CB-61RL, CB-76RL and CB-88RL carrying bags let Roland keyboard owners safely transport their 61, 76 or 88-key instrument safely. Large outer pockets and inner pouches are great for storing AC adaptors and other small items, while inner cushion pads help protect controls such as knobs and bender levers.

Gibson Guitars will no longer be supplying Ebony fingerboards as they have had all of their ebony impounded. Gibson is being forced to find alternative wood testing, tradition is sometimes hard to break and sometimes the most obvious solutions evade us as we strive to evolve, adapt and perservere. The suggestion to feature rosewood fingerboard on a guitar that has been built using ebony comes from the most important R&D team which is our customers. Due to the fact that there is no ebony available to Gibson, they will be making guitars with a Maple neck instead.

Ever since we first started developing professional audio equipment in the 1960’s, we've made it our goal to stay at the forefront of the technology curve. Drawing on decades of experience as a true industry innovator, we don't merely utilize cutting -edge technologies- we create them. With the express purpose of making the most powerful and reliable high-resolution speakers possible, we assembled a specialized team of Yamaha's most skilled engineers to examine, and improve on, every detail of loudspeaker design. This passion for innovation served as the impetus for an intensive collaboration with loudspeaker giant NEXO, adding their insight and expertise as an industry leader in touring-grade sound reinforcement to the development of our DSR, DXR and DXS Series speakers. As a result of working closely with NEXO's engineers at their state-of-the-art facility, our team adopted a new approach to some crucial aspects of these speakers’ design. The detailed analysis of the transducers, thorough testing of the enclosures' acoustic properties and optimized limiter setting all contributed to higher SPL delivered with stunning clarity and an unsurpassed level of reliability. By incorporating touring-grade technology into these speakers, we've succeeded in creating the most powerful and dependable high-performance, active loudspeakers...ever.
