  1. If it was in Houston another couple of days I was gonna use it in a photo shoot with a nude female model, but alas twas not to be.
  2. lately it's pretty much all The Pretty Reckless
  3. It's hot with absolutely zero subtlety.
  4. Electric guitars are cheap. Try pricing out good classical or flamencos.
  5. ^^^^^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFB3m_MXtLs
  6. back in Colorado we used to do lunch at this bar and grill place, that for some unknown reason suddenly went on a weeping cowboy country ballad fetish. At one point I finally asked a waitress "seriously, are you trying to get your patrons to commit suicide?"
  7. I'm not sure how much of a racial advantage there might be for some vocalists, but proper training helps immensely I think. Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga both share the same vocal coach and have been trained since young. I do like girls with big, full voices. as far as R&B goes, These girls have always been near the top of my list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiFchM6lu10
  8. I know of a friend to a friend who had sex with Pink. The bastard. she was smoking in the Lady Marmalade video.
  9. so many. Ann Wilson, Amy Lee, Holly Cole ( killer torch jazz singer), Allison Goldfrapp, Little Boots, KT Tunstall, Gretchen Wilson, Liz Phair, Alanis Morissette, Shakira, Amy Winehouse, etc. These two have gotten most of the playtime lately though, I love em both. Pinks latest album is killer. It's basically a rock album. and it's no secret I'm enamored with Gaga's voice.
  10. G&L gets a pass obviously because of the involvement of Leo Fender
  11. People that want Gibson style guitars tend to buy Gibsons, and the market for people looking for ultra quality Gibson style guitars that are not Gibson is probably not huge. Gibson still has a powerful brand name even with all the crap they've put out in recent years. For the longest time Hamer disavowed and refused to even admit to the guitars that they were probably most famous for. PRS carved out it's own space between Gibson and Fender while adding technical and ergonomic improvements, rather than just making a better something else. The PRS also turned out to be a very good looking guitar. PRS is also continously innovative and always trying new things, some of which work, and some of which don't, but they don't just sit around trying to copy past successes. The product line changes and remains fresh. And Yes, Paul has known the value of marketing since day one. PRS works for me exactly because they did split that Gibson/Fender space with a supremely comfortable guitar (and the best tremelo unit in the business), whereas every Hamer I've tried that was not a Daytona or Shredder had balance issues that drove me nuts, the same as the Gibsons they were modeled after. Hamer was basically trying to sell better Gibsons at higher than Gibson prices with poor resale value during an economic downturn. Can't imagine why that didn't work.
