KONGA (vol. 1) #23 (November, 1965). Cover by Pat Masulli and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio.

No, it's definitely not a rehash of King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). This is instead Konga, the chimpanzee which a mad scientist turned into a giant gorilla, battling the dread volcano monster Uuang-Ni!

Written by Joe Gill. Art by Bill Montes and Ernie Bache.

Although on this splash page they look more like they're trying to French kiss instead of killing each other.

And can you imagine Kong reacting like this if his face almost got burned off?

Derek’s Characters’ Name Meanings

[whileiamdying]

A snapshot of ’70s excess and the soundtrack to the comedown.

In early 1976, the Eagles released Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, a compilation that would spend the next half decade on the Billboard 200 and go on to become the biggest-selling album of the 20th century in the United States. But the band’s most popular, career-defining song was still months away: the title track to Hotel California, the record where the Eagles expunged any lingering trace of their country-rock roots and took up residence in the football stadiums of the world.

That shift can be largely attributed to the new kid in town: guitarist Joe Walsh, who added the exclamation point to Don Henley’s eerie narrative with one of the most dramatic guitar solos in the rock canon. That swagger spills over into the brontosaurus stomp of “Victim of Love” and the disco-fied “Life in the Fast Lane,” a—the?—definitive account of Hollywood hedonism. Hotel California is both a portrait of ’70s excess from behind the velvet rope and the soundtrack to the inevitable cruel comedown.

“There was some friction but that was all creative. After that, we achieved an amount of success beyond our wildest imagination, and there was no turning back.”

— Joe Walsh Eagles

Great Guitarists 100 - Mick Ronson, Joe Perry, Steve Jones, Mick Jones, Paul Weller, and Andy Gill [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]

Mick Ronson What is the sound of glam rock? In a nutshell, it's the sound of Mick Ronson's glossy guitar. From 1970 to 1973, Mick Ronson was David Bowie's right-hand man and the guitarist who defined the sound of the glam rock era. His best-known work from the glam period is Bowie's 1973 album "Aladdin Sane". The sound of glam's golden era can be fully appreciated, including the guitar sighing in "The Prettiest Star". His independent 1974 solo work features songs that show Bowie's influence. He remained in intermittent contact with Bowie and Ian Hunter until his death in 1993. However, I think his best work as a rock guitarist is the 1971 Bowie song "The Man Who Sold the World". Listening to the dynamic performance of 'The Width of a Circle', you realise that he had plenty of potential to become a hard rock guitar hero. -Hirose Tohru

Representative albums "The Man Who Sold The World" (1971, photo) David Bowie "Aladdin Sane" (1973)

Joe Perry Besides Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, Joe Perry's biggest influence was Peter Green, the guitarist of the early blues-tinged Fleetwood Mac. His cover of "Stop Messin' Round" is a favourite, sung by Joe himself and performed live without fail, and is included in the covers collection "Honkin' on Bobo". He mainly uses a Gibson Les Paul, but also plays chords and solos on a six-string bass as well as a regular guitar, and his weighty sound can be heard on two of Aerosmith's best-known albums of the 1970s, "Rocks" and "Draw the Line". The figure of him singing with Steven Tyler on stage with one microphone is reminiscent of Mick & Keith of the Rolling Stones, and countless artists, such as Slash of Guns N' Roses, admire his cool guitarist image. -Ikuyo Kotani

Steve Jones Steve Jones is the guitarist of the Sex Pistols, a band synonymous with 70s punk. His most famous work is, of course, his debut album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols". At the time of its release, he was playing the guitar behind the bellowing Johnny Rotten, and that's exactly what he did. At the time of its release, the only impression it gave was that of a punk band with a bad-ass vigour, but 30 years later, on the live reunion album "Filthy Lucre Live", the band sounded extremely decent! However, if you look back after the Pistols broke up, they played on many albums, including The Professionals with Paul Cook, Suzy & The Banshees and Bob Dylan. The 30-year gap in the sound of "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" may be proof of his struggle to find a place in the world before the Pistols, when he liked Iggy Pop, David Bowie and others and stole their equipment, while being torn between the rise and fall of punk and the rock music that followed. -Ikuyo Kotani

Mick Jones Mick Jones used to be a big fan of Mott the Hoople, to the extent that he even followed them around. The guitar that made his mark on the world was that jangly, crisp guitar. The Clash's "London Calling" was a milestone in punk, but it also showed many different directions, including reggae and rockabilly. It is a must-hear along with "Combat Rock", which later spawned big hits such as "Rock the Casbah". The band's versatile sound, while also defining punk guitar cool, earned them a spot on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 25 most underrated guitarists in history. Since the Clash, he has been involved in various bands and projects, including Big Audio Dynamite, but in recent years he has been more active as a producer, for example with the Libertines. It is no wonder that he is close friends with the members of Hard-Fi. -Ikuyo Kotani

Paul Weller During his time with The Jam, Paul Weller was far more highly regarded as a vocalist and songwriter than as a guitarist. It is well known that after the Style Council, which greatly expanded his musical range, his presence as a guitarist increased alongside this. Originally, his guitar playing was more of a backing for songs, focusing on chord cutting and rhythm riffs, and he was not a technically gifted guitarist by any means. He has actively played guitar solos since going solo, but when listening to his playing, I feel the influence of Neil Young, with whom he has also featured on cover songs. The common denominator is his clumsiness, which becomes a passionate emotion and erupts in his tasteful, bad-guitar playing, and his hot, rough guitar charm is even more powerful in his spontaneous playing live. -Yoshihiro Hoshina

Andy Gill Gang of Four from Leeds were one of the first post-punk bands to be enthusiastically re-appraised in the 1990s and 2000s. The band's first impression in the early days was Andy Gill's incisive cutting. His clean, cutting-only playing on tracks such as 'Damaged Goods' inspired later alternative acts. It is also symbolic that in later years Gill produced work for the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Jesus Lizard. Although the general reputation of the band is concentrated on their first two albums, their later works, which replaced the band members and had a more funk-tinged sound, were also revisited in the 2000s. Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Rakes, who participated in the 2005 revival album "Return The Gift", were the first of the bands to inherit Gill's chappiness and dry funk feel. Gill's shadow can be clearly seen in the arrangements of Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party. -Masatoshi Arano

Top 10 guitarists by genre: Instrumentalists The country-tinged (1/ Les Paul) is an exception to the rule, and the influence of the guitar he developed, as well as his playing style, is enormous. The founder of garage (2/ Link Wray), known for "Rumble" (also covered by Guitar Wolf), inspired Pete Townshend and many other guitarists. The Shadows' bespectacled man (3/ Hank Marvin), who used tremolo arms extensively to produce a clear sound, was Britain's first guitar hero and was admired by Brian May and Ritchie Blackmore. (4/ Allan Holdsworth) and (5/ John McLaughlin), with their superb technique and wealth of musical information, have moved freely between jazz/fusion and rock, influencing everyone from Eddie Van Halen to Vernon Reid and Mike Stern. (6/ Duane Eddy), who helped make the guitar the mainstay of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, has earned the respect of too many guitarists, including George Harrison. Telecaster user (7/ Steve Cropper), who supported Stax Records as the guitarist of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, also deserves a lot of credit. Kraut-rock stalwart Ash Ra Tempel's (8/ Manuel Göttsching) has continued his experimental guitar adventures as he released 'Inventions For Electric Guitar'. John Frusciante has been playing delicate guitar sounds sprinkled with various effects since the heyday of punk/New Wave, and (9/ Vini Reilly) has been highly acclaimed by John Frusciante. (10/ Dick Dale), familiar to many for "Mirselou", established the surf guitar with a Middle Eastern melody, and impressed even the young Jimi Hendrix. -Shiho Yamashita

Eagles Announce Farewell Tour, Dubbed the Long Goodbye

- “The time has come for us to close the circle,” band says

The Eagles plan to cap their “miraculous, 52-year odyssey” with a final tour.

The Long Goodbye begins Sept. 7 in New York and will run for an undetermined amount of time.

“The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages … but, we hope to see as many of you as we can before we finish up,” the group said.

This is the Eagles’ third announced breakup. They split in 1980, reformed in 1994 when hell froze over and said they were done after Glenn Frey’s death in 2016. They then hit the road with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, who quit in 2022 but is now back, joining Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh and Don Henley, the only remaining original member.

“Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed,” the band said. “But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

“This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on,” they added.

Steely Dan will support on the first leg, which runs through Nov. 17.
