Didier Chesneau (from the band HEADLINE) and Michel Lâg Chavarria (Lâg Guitars) will be auctioning an Arkane guitar signed by metal icons this Monday (February 11th) in Paris, France. All the funds will be given to the charity, La Ligue Contre le Cancer.

This unique red piece has been signed by artists from around the world, among them: ZAKK WYLDE (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, ex-OZZY OSBOURNE), Gus G (FIREWIND, Ozzy Osbourne) Dj Ashba (SIXX: A.M.), Shagrath (DIMMU BORGIR), DORO, MYLES KENNEDY, MARK TREMONTI, Phil Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA), Ian Astbury (THE CULT), as well as members of SCORPIONS, THERION, PAIN OF SALVATION, IGGY & THE STOOGES, LOUDBLAST, IN FLAMES and more

A gallery of photos of the artists signing the guitar can be seen at this location.

If you were at Hellfest in 2011, you may have noticed the big fireworks launched in memory of Patrick Roy, a French politician who defended metal music at the national assembly, but sadly passed away of cancer this same year. With this guitar, Arkane wants to pay another tribute to this great man who has been saluted by thousands of people from every country in the world that very same night while AC/DC’s ‘For Those About to Rock (We Salute you)’ was playing at the French festival. This guitar is red, and so was Patrick Roy’s iconic jacket, the man who held a copy of a Rock Hard magazine in the national assembly, and his wife is actually firmly involved in this glorious project.

More infos about the guitar (photos, equipment) and how to get in touch with this great cause can be found at this location.

The tour kicks off February 2nd in Copenhagen, Denmark and runs through March 5th wrapping up at the famed Roxy Theater in West Hollywood, CA.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, VAN HALEN bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, currently acting as touring bassist for CREED and ALTER BRIDGE guitarist Mark Tremonti‘s solo band, has gotten into a beef with boy band ONE DIRECTION. Van Halen called out the group on Twitter after a run-in with them at a hotel in Birmingham, England, where Tremonti is on tour at the moment.

Van Halen wrote, “Fun fact: Was just insulted by that shitty boy band #OneDirection in the lobby of our hotel this morning!” He continued, “No joke. That ACTUALLY happened. That group of kids in #OneDirection were dickheads to (TREMONTI bandmembers Eric Friedman, Garrett Whitlock) and I.” Van Halen later joked, “They must call themselves that because all of their hair points in #OneDirection.”

Whitlock, TREMONTI‘s drummer, later tweeted, “Had a run-in with some boy band in the hotel lobby. no worries. I can’t take a insult from someone who doesn’t even write their own tunes.”

The members of ONE DIRECTION have yet to comment.

Van Halen joined Tremonti‘s solo act last month at the last minute after bassist Brian Marshall dropped out for personal reasons. He recalled getting the phone call from Tremonti. “I’m like, ‘Hey buddy, how’s it going?’ And he’s like, ‘Not good,’” he said. “Totally depressing change in the phone call. And he told me, and I was like, ‘I’ll call you right back,’ and I was trying to think of like a reason not to — not that I didn’t want to, because there are so many reasons that I would want to. And it totally worked out.”

Tremonti is touring in support of his first solo disc, “All I Was”. He just finished a headlining stint on the HardDrive Live tour and is in Europe for a series of gigs.

Van Halen the band is off the road for the rest of 2012 while Eddie Van Halen recovers from surgery on his intestinal tract, which means Wolfgang has at least a few more months to stay on the road with Tremonti. The latter has expressed interest in recording with Wolfgang as well.
