The Best Rock Guitarists Who Ever Lived

The More You Know

• Before they became (arguably) the biggest pop act of all time, The Beatles had a hard time convincing record labels to sign them. In 1962, they were rejected by Decca Records, whose boss said “guitar groups are on the way out.”
• Before joining Queen, Brian May studied astrophysics. He later completed his doctoral thesis and earned his PhD.
• Monaco’s orchestra is bigger than its army.
• Dave Grohl was so intimidated by Kurt Cobain that he hid a lot of the music he made while on tour with Nirvana. After Cobain's death, the tucked away music would become Foo Fighters' first album.
