 | | Steve Vai & Joe Satriani | Thanks to some help from our buddies at Ibanez, we got to sit down with the ultimate shredders, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, to talk about their historic careers, how they overcome stage fright, and lots and lots of gear. | | | Mark Tremonti | Mark not only showed us the amazing gear he uses on tour, but he also talked to us about his extensive amp collection, his PRS guitars, his love of microphones, Frank Sinatra, and of course Eddie Van Halen. | | |  | |  | | Paul Gilbert | Paul took some time away from designing signature guitars and transcribing vocal melodies to let us in on his process of translation, his awesome new Ibanez Fireman guitar, and of course how he got his Spice Girls autographs. | | | Jimmy Chamberlin | We got the legendary Jimmy Chamberlin off of the drum throne and into our interview seat to talk about the role drums play in the songwriting process, the new Smashing Pumpkins album, and being honest with yourself as a musician. | | |  | |  | | Billy Sheehan | Billy Sheehan is an absolute low-end LEGEND! We were so happy to sit down with Billy and talk about his songwriting, the craft of playing the bass, and how music has kept him alive all these years! | | | John 5 | Guess who we got to hang out with at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC? The one and only Churro - and his owner John 5, who talked to us about how he got his start and what it's like to work with some of his biggest influences. | | |  | | |
