Here at MusicRadar and our sister magazines Guitarist, Total Guitar, Guitar Techniques, Rhythm, Future Music and Computer Music, we get closer to the stars and their gear than almost anybody else. Across the following pages is a selection of video and picture walkthroughs of some of the most enviable live rigs on the planet.

Brian May, Muse, Alter Bridge, Dave Grohl, Kings Of Leon, The Edge, Joe Satriani and Radiohead are just a few of the A-listers whose gear secrets are revealed within.

Ever wondered what rig is being used? couldnt find what kit it was...

John, get counselling! You don't have to be a slave to GAS! Har har.

? just scrolled thru the list and never saw a name i even wanted to sound like ............ forget what other people use.. find your "own voice" ever wondered why the famous people never sound like anyone else....... BB king don't sound like clapton or zz top or muddywaters , but they all play blues and all are famous. the music industry has no room for clones .... so buy and amp a guitar and try be original ...... and you will be added to that list if you can keep your "sh* t together and you find that holy grail of tone thats unique to only you of course along with a rocking band and some awesome chart topping original compositions.......... no one said it was a walk in the park ?

Gotta love Satch. Just seems so friendly and down to earth.

Its also funny how minimalistic his rig is!
Very few effects, and some only get used for A song! then again, he can afford to do that!

but yeah, he seems very down to earth!
