All The Rest Is Noise is Adrian Vines, former bassist with UK rock bands Swervedriver and Skyscraper, former contributor to both Guitar and MI Pro magazines and full time guitar technician.

All The Rest Is Noise is intended as a host for personal thoughts and opinions on any subject of interest but will mainly focus on musical and technical themes. Many of the earlier pieces have been carried over from the now defunct xselectronics.co.uk website and some are re-publishings or revisions of articles written for the ‘Tour De Force/Tales From The Road’ columns that appeared in Guitar Magazine between 2008 and 2013. Anything dated after 2013 will be previously unpublished.

Adrian Vines is contactable through the ‘Contact’ page of this site. Replies may take some time to send, however, so apologies for any delay.
