"The people at Marshall amps invited me to play at their "50 Years of Loud" concert at Wembley Arena. Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde, and Kerry King were also featured. I did my own set with Mike Portnoy on drums, and I also jammed with Joe Satriani with Nicko McBrain (from Iron Maiden) on drums. Everyone jammed together to close the show with a massive version of "Smoke on the Water." The audience was fantastic and of course the Marshall amps rocked the arena like they are built to do. Thank you, Marshall. And thank you, London!" -  Paul Gilbert

Top 5 "Chicka" Moments in Rock - by dweinber

Like any good student, I listened to my teacher when he said, "start from the beginning of the program."  As tempting as it was to jump to the advanced section, I listened to Professor Paul and brought an apple to class by starting with the "chickas." I am glad that I did because I now have a renewed appreciation for the "chicka." I have been enjoying watching all of the "chicka-related" video exchanges and this got me thinking... what are some of the best "chicka" moments in rock guitar?

1. Radiohead "Creep"

Radiohead took the "chicka" to a new level when Jonny Greewood blasted a huge, very distorted gigantic Chicka!! Chicka!! before the chorus of this alt-rock classic. Beavis & Butthead were "on" to the chicka in '90s... I wish that Radiohead still played guitar oriented rock. Oh well, at least they made the top of my chicka list... I am sure that was their intent when adding this giant absolutely perfect CHICKA! to "Creep." Well done mates.
