Rick Nielsen's five-neck Hamer just sold for $313,600, nearly double its $175K estimate.
12-string, fretless, Strat-style and Les Paul Junior-style necks on one body.
Part of the auction money goes to St. Jude.
How many necks could you actually handle?

PTV night or Gojira night?
1.2 million views on this clip calling it Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life."
It's Psychosocial. That's Corey Taylor. When the music cuts out, the whole back seat keeps singing the chorus.
"My favorite goth song, guys!"
Is Slipknot goth? Settle it.

N3on was SHOCKED after Pinkchyu and the Goth House girls started HEADBANGING to Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” in the back of their car 😳
“This is My favorite goth song Btw”
N3on looked like he thought Pinkchyu was just PRETENDING to be a goth girl 😭
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The song is Psychosocial by Slipknot, not Bring Me to Life by Evanescence.

PRS built a guitar for shredders. Tekton: bolt-on, stainless frets (a PRS first), the thinnest body and neck they've ever made, and no birds. Four models incl. a Floyd and a 7-string, $2,899-$2,999.
Would you take one over an Ibanez or an ESP?
Sharon Osbourne says doctors warned Back To The Beginning "would kill him." Ozzy's answer: "It's not an option. It's what I want."
She says even the band didn't know how sick he was. He stayed on that high until the day he passed.
The film hits cinemas Wednesday.

Triple H spent his anniversary weekend hyping up Metallica's Sphere crowd. Stephanie McMahon filmed it.
Another fan's clip of the same moment went viral: "He loves the attention." "Who is this?" "I don't know!"
Metallica playing him out at WrestleMania: yes or no?

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' owner took MCR to court Friday over dancers in the DCC look during "Teenagers." The filing: "The universe of alternative costume designs is effectively unlimited."
That night at the Hollywood Bowl, they were back.
Whose side are you on?

Someone asked Suno for a song based on ADTR, BMTH, Spiritbox, Bad Omens and Sleep Token. Said it "one shots an absolute banger," cancelled Spotify, and called AI music "1000x better than real music."
1,100+ replies later: would you ever pick AI over the real bands?

AI generated music is 1000x better than real music.
Today I canceled Spotify and SiriusXM because I finally tested Suno.
What sold me was the first prompt I gave it:
“My favorite artists are A Day to Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox, Bad Omens, and Sleep Token.
Analyze all their hits and generate a song I’m likely to love based on those artists.”
It one shots an absolute banger in 10 seconds.
I'll link the song in the next tweet for anyone curious.
Why would I ever go back to Spotify/SiriusXM when I can generate music perfectly tailored to my taste on command, for free?
Not affiliated with Suno in any way btw, it was just one of those moments where I was so impressed with AI’s capability I had to say something about it.
Sleep Token rarely talk. Last weekend they did: "What is ours is here, and here alone."
It came after masked newcomers Arcus were billed "from the co-creator of Sleep Token." Arcus scrubbed those mentions, then dropped a "Rebirth" video.
Give it a chance or hard pass?
Metallica playing "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" inside the Sphere. A giant eye stares down, then the walls close in. Literally.
24 shows through March, and each weekend's two nights share zero songs.
Future of metal shows, or just a really expensive light show?
Sick New World Texas is going down right now at Texas Motor Speedway.
SOAD and Deftones on top. Slayer playing Reign In Blood. Evanescence, Mastodon, Knocked Loose, Ministry, AFI, Power Trip. 50+ bands, one day.
You only get to see ONE set. Who are you picking?

Polyphia's BE NOT AFRAID is out now. 12 tracks, and Tim Henson says there are moments on it that "legitimately scare me."
Evolution or should they stay in their lane? Hit or skip?
Fender recreated the guava green Jaguar bass Mark Hoppus plays with blink right now. It's on Fender's site for 182 hours only. Of course it's 182.
$1,499.99, reversed Seymour Duncan pickups, and the art comes as loose stickers. You decorate it.
Stickers on or clean?
Tony Iommi's first solo album in 21 years is out today.
From The Dark: Jørn Lande on vocals, Becky Baldwin on bass, Brian May guesting on "Death Wake." Tony says Jørn has "the same sort of aggression" as Ronnie.
Dio-era Sabbath fans, does it land?

20 years on, The Black Parade is back today with everything MCR finished in those sessions.
The one long-timers waited on: "Someone Out There Loves You," the song fans called "Stay." Played on the 2007 tour, never officially released. Until now.
Top 3 tracks. Go.

Dust off the plastic guitar. Stage Tour just added Trivium "The Heart From Your Hate," Volbeat "Lola Montez" and Silverstein "Negative Space."
65 songs confirmed, 90+ at launch Dec 10, plus 180+ in-game Gibsons.
Which one are you failing on the hardest difficulty first?
Howard Jones and Adam D. are making records together again.
Their duo Burn Eternal just signed to Metal Blade, the debut album is already finished, and the label says first music is coming "sooner than you'd think."
End Of Heartache kids, how loud did you yell?
Nevermind just passed Back In Black as the 6th best-selling album ever, per ChartMasters. The gap? A few thousand units out of roughly 66.8 million.
Streaming did it. AC/DC still wins on pure album sales.
Seattle or Sydney? Pick a side.
