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.

You'd think Shatner would have gotten singing coaching starting back in the later 60' or 70's. But no. Beat Poet Style 'till the end.

Yuck. Simplified so that Young could toddle alongside the song and pretend....whatever. The Zep boys were clearly funning him.

I LOVED your single-note answers, Greg.

Thank Saul. Didn't know of him, but happy to learn of a good soul who banked their all.

Him swinging on the wrecking ball in the video for "Balls to the Wall" was one of my favorite MTV memories. So fake. So cool...

LB has always worn costumes. They’ve been masquerading as a metal band from the beginning.

Are you tryin to say nice boys do play rock and roll? My entire philosophy on life has been thrown out the window. Kidding Good to see he’s a nice bloke

Ask away. It's a beast.

The EP is crack for any pedalboard

$2,200 Now.

No kidding. I love my QC and wouldn't part with it. Easy to use, great sounds, and am writing this from Buenos Aires on our fourth South American tour using it with no glitches.

Saw them twice in the same week back in 2001, including a show in Birmingham that took place in the midst of a tornado warning. Good times. They kind of lost me after Lateralus, but those first three albums and the Opiate EP were formational. When I was in college, my band rehearsed at this storage unit facility that must have had 10 other bands out there at night. I remember the week after Lateralus came out, all the bands who were doing nu-metal and post-grunge - Papa Roach, Staind, Nonpoint, all that kind of stuff - were out there trying to get their compound time signature on. We had already steeped quite a bit in Tool, but even before we got into them, in the interregnum between Aenima and Lateralus, we were pretty heavily into Faith No More, Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Helmet, Meshuggah, a smattering of pretentious fusion shit like Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra, and (unavoidably) southern rock. We never could quite figure out if we wanted people to shake their ass, head bang, or whip out a calculator, so we arrived at porque no todos! Anyway, we'd been leaning into prog rock for awhile and were cracking up at listening to three different bands all trying to figure out how to play Lateralus on the same night after listening to them play nothing but Blink 182 and Nickelback for the past year. Wish I could have bottled some of those days up and taste them again on occasion.

This was one of my favorite Down Under Under the Radar hard rock bands. Cool band They rocked hard… little hard for them to find their way in the mtv image dominated 80’s, possibly a few years too early RIP Angry IMHO. The per capita rockin that Australia generates is truly impressive some clips… Nice Boys famously covered on Guns N Roses Live Like A Suicide Doesn’t hold a candle to the original but I give them credit for covering this nugget If he looks familiar, it could have been his appearance in the third Mad Max Movie. POD of Thunder evaluating Juice on The Loose. Provocative title.

RIP Mr Jones 🙏 I knew Carvin, he's been a staple musician here in Arizona since I can remember... and had wonderful conversations... great guy, way too young 😪

Same here. Every now and then I turn it off and wonder why I did that.
