Jimmy Page is one of the most famous guitar players ever. His Led Zeppelin riffs are some of the most recognizable in classic rock. Thank goodness he developed his sound beyond what we heard on his first solo song. Several Page guitars created those riffs, and many were played and owned by other musicians.

Page often wielded Gibson guitars with Led Zeppelin, but he used a Fender Telecaster for nearly every song on Led Zeppelin I. The guitar dated to his Yardbirds days, but he wasn’t the original owner. It belonged to his friend Jeff Beck first.
After Page turned down an invitation to join the Yardbirds and recommended Beck for the job, his grateful friend gave him his Fender Telecaster. It was a gift for not taking the job. Beck’s brief Yardbirds stint launched his career.

Jimmy Page’s guitar playing in Led Zeppelin made him famous. His memorable riffs and legendary guitar solos helped him ascend to the rank of guitar god. He owned several, but one of Page’s most famous guitars came to him when he more or less pressured another musician to sell it to him.

Page never stopped hunting for new guitars. He favored a few, but he never hesitated to add to his guitar army. The Led Zeppelin founder did exactly that in 1974.
The manager of Michael Corby knew someone who knew Ray Thomas, Page’s roadie and guitar tech in Led Zeppelin. Page summoned Corby to a jam session when he heard Corby owned an all-black Gibson Les Paul Custom (the same model as...

Gathered for the first time are four of the most bloodthirsty westerns with the kind of men that live only to kill!
In the mid-1960s, the runaway success of Sergio Leone’s “Dollars” trilogy gave rise to an explosion of similar productions as filmmakers by the dozen sought to capitalize on this new, uniquely Italian take on the western, characterized by their deeply cynical outlook, morally compromised antiheroes and unflinching depictions savage violence. This specially curated selection gathers together four outstanding examples of the genre from the height of its popularity, all centered around a theme of revenge.

Guest reviewer Lee Broughton returns to shine a critical light on a double bill Spaghetti Western disc, two features starring the world’s favorite acting fiend, Klaus Kinski. The prolific German actor racked up credits in more than twenty Euro-Westerns, some of which amounted to brief-if-worthy guest spots. These two Italian productions feature the German actor up front in starring position, and both are pretty good genre entries to boot.

Joan Collins in 'The Bitch': Sex tale based on younger sister Jackie Collins' novel. Author Jackie Collins dead at 77: Surprisingly few film and TV adaptations of her bestselling novels Jackie Collins, best known for a series of bestsellers about the dysfunctional sex lives of the rich and famous and for being the younger sister of film and TV star Joan Collins, died of breast cancer on Sept. 19, '15, in Los Angeles. The London-born (Oct. 4, 1937) Collins was 77. Collins' tawdry, female-centered novels – much like those of Danielle Steel and Judith Krantz – were/are immensely popular. According to her website, they have sold more than 500 million copies in 40 countries. And if the increasingly tabloidy BBC is to be believed (nowadays, Wikipedia has become a key source, apparently), every single one of them – 32 in all – appeared on the New York Times' bestseller list. (Collins' own site claims that a mere 30 were included.) Sex...

Stars: Joseph Cotten, Elke Sommer, Massimo Girotti, Rada Rassimov, Antonio Cantafora, Umberto Raho, Luciano Pigozzi | Written by Vincent Fotre | Directed by Mario Bava
Italian director Mario Bava was responsible for some truly great horror movies of the 60s and 70s, including The Mask of Satan, Black Sabbath, Blood and Black Lace, Lisa and the Devil and proto-slasher A Bay of Blood. However some, whilst a success at the time, haven’t aged quite so well… like Baron Blood.
The film is yet another gothic horror from Bava that, like Black Sunday before it, features a witch’s curse – this time placed on Baron Otto von Kleist, Austria’s legendarily murderous ‘Baron Blood’, whose corpse is inadvertently revived when an ancient incantation is read out as a joke by a descendant and his girlfriend. Naturally, the Baron decides to carry on where he originally left off, with the help of an...

'Demons 2' (1986) Review
Directed By: Lamberto Bava
Written By: Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava, Franco Ferrini, Dardano Sacchetti
Starring: David Edwin Knight (George), Nancy Brilli (Hannah), Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni (Sally Day), Bobby Rhodes (Hank), Asia Argento (Ingrid Haller), Virginia Bryant (Mary the Prostitute), Anita Bartolucci (Woman with Dog), Antonio Cantafora (Ingrid’s Father), Luisa Passega (Helga), Davide Marotta (Demon Tommy), Marco Vivio (Tommy), Michele Mirabella (Hooker’s Client), Lorenzo Gioielli (Jake), Lino Salemme (Security Guard), Maria Chiara Sasso (Ulla)
If you feel Demons (1985) was a good movie, you will certainly be entertained by its sequel. “Demons 2” is just as over the top as the original with plenty of gore and thrills. Lamberto Bava does a good job carrying a similar plot over from the first film in a slightly different setting for this one. Argento and Bava make a good film duo...

★★★☆☆ Spooky, cavernous castles; rolling, all-engulfing perma-mist; a deranged, deformed aristocrat impaling all the serfs to ease his crippling ennui...Giallo master Mario Bava's camp schlockfest has more classic Gothic tropes than you can shake a Brontë sister at. Here given a beautiful restoration for Blu-ray and DVD by Arrow Video, Baron Blood (1972) provides a good bit of fun and a great deal of crash zooms, but maybe not quite enough shocks given his past history. Immaculately coiffured 70s Ken Doll Peter (Antonio Cantafora) has travelled to Austria from the States in an effort to rediscover the family roots.
Taken by his Uncle Karl (Massimo Girotto) to the castle which belonged to ancestor Baron Otto von Kleist, Peter there meets Eva Arnold (Eike Sommer), an architect charged with restoring the building for use as a luxury hotel. But Old Otto had some faults back in the day. The nefarious nobleman's...

Another trip down memory lane from the good folks at Cheezy Flicks.
Legendary director Mario Bava's 1972 gothic chiller about a 300-year-old sadist is not as scary as Black Sunday or as graphic as Twitch Of The Death Nerve. Instead, Bava’s Baron Blood relies on rich colors and spooky castle sets to grab the viewer's attention. (That, and also placing heroine Elke Sommer in mini-skirts whenever possible.)
The plot involves Peter Kleist (Antonio Cantafora) a descendant of the evil Baron Otto Von Kleist returning to Austria to seek his heritage. He finds a group of architects renovating the Baron's castle into a hotel. Among them is Ms. Sommer who he immediately flips over.
He somehow convinces her it would be great fun to resurrect the Baron using a parchment with scary sounding words Peter happens to have with him. They were written by a witch who cursed the Baron for eternity.
