"It's Late" is a song written by Queen guitarist Brian May and performed by the band for their 1977 album "News of the World".
 The song was May's idea of treating a song as a three-act theatrical play, and the verses are called "acts" in the lyrics sheet.
 It makes use of the tapping technique a few months before Eddie Van Halen's use of the tapping technique on the "Van Halen" album.
 May told "Guitar Player Magazine" that his use of the tapping technique was inspired by Texas guitarist Rocky Athas, after seeing one of his performances at Mother Blues, a Dallas club.
 Tapping had also been previously used by other players, notably Steve Hackett of Genesis.
 The song is notable for its length and heavy, wide vocal range (E3-E6), bluesy guitar riff, and using the previously mentioned technique.
"New Dawn Fades" is a song from the 1979 album "Unknown Pleasures" by Joy Division.
 It opens with a backwards and heavily modified sample from previous song "Insight", presumably added by Martin Hannett, post-production.
 The song relies on an ascending guitar riff by Bernard Sumner played against a descending bass riff by Peter Hook.
 The song uses the same progression throughout, but grows in intensity as the song progresses, reaching its peak with Ian Curtis singing "Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else", and ending with a guitar solo.
 The song closes side one of "Unknown Pleasures".
 It's also one of few Joy Division songs with two distinct guitars playing, one distorted and one a clean electric guitar picking notes from the guitar chords.

Projects in the Jungle is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on July 27, 1984 by Metal Magic Records.
 The band made their first music video for the track "All Over Tonight".
 Though sharing many similarities with Def Leppard's pre-"Hysteria" sound ("Pyromania" had been released the year before), the title track's musical style is a foreshadowing of what was to come a few years later, as it features a thrash metal-oriented guitar riff with more groove metal-like breakdowns.
Elliott Randall (born 1947) is an American guitarist, best known for being a session musician with popular artists.
 Randall played the well-known guitar solos from Steely Dan's song "Reelin' in the Years" and Irene Cara's song "Fame".
 It was reported that Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page said Randall's solo on "Reelin' in the Years" is his favorite guitar solo of all-time.
 The solo was ranked as the 40th best guitar solo of all-time by the readers of "Guitar World" magazine and the eighth best guitar solo by Q4 Music.

 This included the Crowbar self-titled LP with the hits "All I Had (I Gave)", "Existence is Punishment", "No Quarter" (by Led Zeppelin) and "I Have Failed", produced by Phil Anselmo.
 By 1994, Phil put his band Pantera to the side and resurrected Down which was sidelined for Pantera in the late 1990s.

 Eventually, the album sold 500,000 copies and was certified Gold by the RIAA.
 Soon after, Phil returned to Pantera and Crowbar continued, and the two bands partnered up for tours in 1996.
 As a result, Todd, Kirk and the rest of Crowbar appear in Pantera's "Home Videos 3" in the credits, and Kirk and the band are seen in scenes including the notorious clip of Kirk dressed up as the Hulk.
 This event is also included in Crowbar's 1996 home video "Like Broken", but contains slightly different footage.
