According to certain sources Columbia Records has set 26th March 2008 as release date for The Offspring’s follow-up to there 2003album “Splinter”. However, the band have yet to confirm this information or announce a release date for this.
Previously announced, The Offspring will start with a tour of Australia in February and headline Soundwave Festival. This will be the band’s first performance together in three years.
Amplifier
An electricguitar is useless without an amplifier. You can spend anything from around £50 to as much as you want. The smallest cheapest amps are usually 10 Watts. This means that they are only really loud enough for playing at home on your own. If you intend to play in a band, or most importantly, with an acousticdrumkit (which are loud) then we would not recommend getting less than 100Watts.
“There is nothing in me that wants to go in there and do new music. How are you going to deliver it? How are you going to get paid for it if people can just get it for free?
“The recordindustry doesn’t have a f*cking clue how to make money. It’s only their fault for letting foxes get into the henhouse and then wondering why there’s no eggs or chickens. Every little college kid, every freshly-scrubbed little kid’s face should have been sued off the face of the earth. They should have taken their houses and cars and nipped it right there in the beginning. Those kids are putting 100,000 to a million people out of work.”

2. What kind of budget do you want to spend?
This really is up to you. We recommend getting an idea of budget though before you start trying to make your choice of guitar as it is a great way of cutting down the options so that you are not overwhelmed with choice. Generally anything over £100 will get a niceplayingguitar these days. However if you think they are worth it, spending more will definitely mean a much nicer guitar.
Once you have decided which type of guitar and what kind of budget you want to spend, the final decision simply involves having a look through our range of guitars and picking out right one, based on the colour and style that you think they will appreciate the most.

In early 1963, 17 year-old Eric joined his first band, The Roosters. Following the band’s demise in August 1963, he spent one month in the pop-oriented CaseyJones and The Engineers. Before turning to music as a full-time career, he supported himself as a laborer at building sites, working alongside his grandfather, a master bricklayer and plasterer.
In April 1965, John Mayall invited Eric to join his band, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. With this group, Clapton established his reputation as a guitarist and earned his second nickname: “God”. It came from an admirer’s graffiti on the wall of London’s Islington TubeStation that boldly proclaimed “Clapton is God.”
