"Painkiller" is one of the hardest songs in metal to play and an almost impossible one to sing. Here it is at a park festival in Japan, in daylight, next to a road sign, with the bass player in shorts. They absolutely go for it.

Milan, 2010. A drunk guy climbs onstage during the "Sweet Child O' Mine" solo, and Slash's security guard launches him into the photo pit. Slash gets up, keeps playing, swaps the broken Les Paul mid-song, and never loses the top hat.

Most footage like this doesn't exist. This does, because the whole night was filmed for pay-per-view. Philly, June 1989. Ozzy sings with Jack on his shoulders, ears covered, while Aimee and Kelly run the front of the stage. Zakk Wylde couldn't get a smile out of him either.

Extreme went on stage five minutes early so they'd have room for it. "One year ago, Ozzy Osbourne died. Let's do this one for him." Then Nuno Bettencourt played Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee back to back, and finished on Iommi's "Iron Man" riff. Footage: Joe E Bravo (YouTube)

Keith Richards in the studio, amp on the floor, playing blues to himself between takes. Count the strings on Sonny. Five. He took the low E off decades ago and never put it back.

Steven Tyler, in a church in Warren, Michigan, singing "Amazing Grace" with gospel singer Juliette Hamilton and the Unity Choir. Gospel and hard rock have more in common than people admit.

At 15, Paul Gilbert told a record label he could play like Randy Rhoads and wanted to audition for Ozzy. They thought it was a joke until they heard the tape. That tape put him in Guitar Player Magazine. This is him a few years later, playing Yngwie and Akira note for note.

Brian May, at home, playing the "Killer Queen" solo he wrote fifty years ago. He misses a note and just smiles about it. Happy 79th to Brian May, who has never once needed it to be perfect.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

Slash has never been the fastest guitarist alive and never wanted to be. Then he does this and reminds everyone the speed was always there. He just usually has better taste than to use it.

That a cappella opening on "Carry On Wayward Son" has no instruments, just voices stacked cold. Kansas fans know.

Gilmour wore that strap for 18 years. It broke seconds before the Comfortably Numb solo. His tech saved it. The cobbler saved the strap. Gilmour never blinked.

A fan named Jay Skeen spent Ozzy Day making this tribute. He has 33 subscribers. It's better than most of what the industry put out this week. Video: Jay Skeen (YouTube)

In the mid 70s, Michael Anthony was fronting a band called Snake and lending gear to a local act that had just changed their name from Mammoth to Van Halen. Then their PA blew up, and the guy who lent them his became the harmonies.

Mid-song, Chester Bennington spotted a fan in a wheelchair, came down off the stage, and finished "In the End" holding her hand. That was just who he was.

Master of Reality turns 55 today. It's the first Sabbath album Tony Iommi recorded detuned, three semitones down to spare the fingertips he lost in a factory accident. Geezer Butler followed him down. An industrial injury invented the heaviest sound in music. This is "Into the Void," live.

SRV on a 1930s Gibson L1. A rare, acoustic look at a master in his element.

Dimebag Darrell stopped into J. Gilligan's Bar &amp; Grill in Arlington for a few drinks in 2003. He heard ASKA playing, borrowed a guitar, and jumped on stage. This is “Cold Gin.”

People credit Sting for The Police. Watch this and reconsider.

Anika Nilles took the most impossible job in rock. Neil Peart's seat, in front of the most demanding fanbase alive. This is her on "2112." Has anyone caught the Fifty Something tour yet?
