This is one of the very best new bands I've heard.

"Telling Lies" by David Bowie. I have realized that this ( Earthling ) is one of my favorite headphone albums of all time to listen to. Especially after a nice smoke ( legal in Canada ). Why didn't I know about this album when it came out? Lover the sarcasm in the chorus, like a tv psychic...

I still have the Pulse 2cd boxed set with the led that flashes. One of my all time Favorite concert recordings.

Sorry guys, I had a few beers when I posted that, & kinda went off on a tangent...shit:cry: Honestly, Black Sabbath was my very first guitar influence. The very first song I ever learned was Electric Funeral.

I used to have an original Hagstrom Super Swede from the 1970's. Absolutely fantastic guitar, should never have sold it. Never played the reissues, and lost interest upon learning that they were mostly made in China, not Sweden. Nice to see that some are, but I am not interested in them at this...

I can see that- there's nothing more brutal than getting old.

Yeah, Sabbath has aged among the best. For example, when I was a kid, 80's hair metal was dominating radio, mtv, & album sales. And yet, if I could go back back in time, I'd tell myself to forget about it- it will not age well at all, & will be totally obsolete in less than a decade! "...

He's obviously just trying to get clicks, to get noticed. It's more of a popularity sport, music is just the vehicle to that end. This also includes the vast majority of guitar shred for shreds sake type of playing. I find it interesting only if the music has genuinely beautiful, or is at least...

As far as nailing the original, for me it depends on the song. If it was a really cool part I'd keep it. For example the synth parts & solo in "Jump" by Van Halen. I made sure to play that as close as possible. On a good sounding synth through a powerful P.A. , that was a lot of fun, especially...

I've seen that video- I enjoyed it very much. However I'd like to see a video portraying really great "dad bands". Maybe it wouldn't be as funny though I guess. I played in a "professional dad band" ( as Mark put it ) for quite a while, until the gigs all dried up locally. It's not all bad...

Great video- Cool to see where my Asat Special probably came from.

She's really talented obviously! ...but she grew up in a YouTube generation that can learn absolutely anything from quantum physics to how to speak ancient Sumerian, literally at their fingertips. I think that they do take it for granted, & a lot of what kids can do now seems to be based on...

There was a Ritchie Blackmore Stratocater very briefly available that only had a neck and bridge PU- no middle pickup. I think in the early 2000s.
