All Activity

I liked Jizzy Pearl in the lead singer spot. He left. OK. The new kid will hopefully win over some audiences. When Rudy Sarzo steps away again, Quiet Riot will be over. He is 75 years old, and moves around like he did 40+ years ago.

75 minutes is a normal contracted amount for set times. However, what is considered part of a show makes a difference. For five minutes the audience sat in the dark listening to Highway To Hell and a very short intro tape while waiting for Slaughter to come on stage when they were the only act for the evening. That counted as part of their 75 minute show.

Works for me. Happy for the dude but not sure how lucrative or widely received QR is gonna be at this stage.

Sounds like DuBrow who sounded like Holder.

If I remember, Greg Platzer had a series of photos doing that on a Superpro. Would have been years ago.

I think that's pretty normal for them. I've only seen them a couple times over the years but both were closer to an hour than 1.5.

We saw Cheap Trick Tuesday. Rick looked kinda feeble. He was moving around like Tim Conway's old man character. Also seemed to be lower in the mix for most of the show. Kind of took me out of the first part of the show. And the set was only 75 minutes.

I bought a Soldano Astro from this seller (Dave) a couple of weeks ago and he was fantastic to deal with. He had mentioned that he had other gear he would be selling so I asked him to send me the links so I could post them here. Here's the link for the Friedman Pink Taco V2 head he has for sale: https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/hugo-friedman-pink-taco-v2-head/sEqbr8ZkUMpjUS6vtTLrbS

Ooops. Bad form to talk about someone's death and not know who they are!

I detected absolutely no beat missed. That was a serious distraction! Fantastic you all held it together - sounds great, as always!

We're waiting on our 2 foot high Stonehenge props.

Of all the time I've wasted in life, I can't think of any as pointless as that.

Spinal Tap Tribute?

Just watched part of a recent Cheap Trick show on YouTube. Rick is looking pretty rough. Damn.

Holy shit, Batman!!

Not quite the situation from Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water but when our band played a set last Saturday and the venue decided it was a good idea to put a fog machine on stage, it resulted in us getting an unplanned accompaniment from the venue's smoke alarm at 38 seconds in and once more towards the end. Good times!!

No idea if this was really a good deal or a good amp but it seems like a pretty good discount. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?source=3WWRWXGG&utm_medium=paid-search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=MF_G_NTM_SEM-STD_General&utm_term=musical instruments&utm_content=ntm&utm_id=9312500617&utm_creative=654838309660&utm_marketing_tactic=general&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=9312500617

That was Udo, my friend. Both short, bald, and metal dudes. Udo is still alive and well.

Indeed

Age ain't nuthin' but a number...as long as you're a guitar.

I concur. My ep booster is an almost always on pedal. especially clean settings. one of the few pedals I use.

You stole my Gittler thunder, Steve.

God, that Trogly guy is absolutely horrible.

The RC Boost (2-button version) is the only pedal I use in tandem with my multi-effect as an always on front-end sweetener. Not louder, no noticeable mid cut/boost, just...better! I miss it when it's not there.
