So, it never used to bother me when someone writes or states that a guitar "plays like butter". Then, I noticed that my buddy Mike (Kizanski) was really aggravated by it. After mentioning it a thousand times or more, it started to bother me too. It's gotten to the point that I want to reply, "What does butter play like". I prefer beef tallow, but that's for a different conversation entirely! Hopefully, nobody will start a new, and no less problematic statement, "It plays like beef tallow"... 😎

I know it's nothing new, but I'm 100% convinced that Jolene was recorded at 15 IPS and then Dolly did the vocals at 30. The instruments sound much more genuine at the slowed down playback. I remember seeing Dolly on some TV show doing an Alvin and the Chipmunks style singing over a song being played back at double time. : ) So this is right in line with that. I also find it incredible that her voice is able to lock at double time. Amazing voice at any speed.

Awesome band. First saw them supporting G‘n‘R. in 1992, I believe. „Badmotorfinger“ is their opus magnum as far as I‘m concerned!

Greatest talent of our generation IMFO

Yeah. He's kinda been phoning it In since Billy embraced the drum machine, but he did some killer stuff in the 70s. I particularly love the Tejas album, he does this paradiddle rhythm (RLRRLRLL) on the ride and snare that grooves like crazy, its all over Tejas, here at ~2:11

Awesome

I had a bunch a 8 tracks from Columbia House (Kiss, Frampton, BTO, etc) but the 1st album I actually paid for myself was this comp I found in the cut out bin, probably 5th or 6th grade;

One of the advantages of building my own is the ability to mix and match different speakers and speaker cabs. And relatively smaller rigs keep up nicely with the bigger ones, for when those still pop up.....Not often in my limited venues any more. God forbid I come up with something to remind someone of C-3PO! 🤔 BTW, I did find this interesting comparison done by Robbie Hall hisownself to show added versatility of his Clean Fusion Deluxe pedal. Although pretty much a 2 channel pedal (Fender Blackface and Dumble style), incorporation of the HRM settings and some tweaking can sure get it into M territory, with plenty of gain on tap. Sounds pretty close to the Plexi to me. But what do I know? BTW, the CFD (no tubes) does compare nicely with the Fuchs ODH, actually giving a bit more "on the fly" options. All things considered, not a bad option at a fair price (IMO) even if it is pretty pricey for a pedal.

As the youngest of 4, I spent all the years up to my preteens listening to my older siblings records and cassettes. This album came out in June 1991, 1 month before my 13th birthday and it was the first (CD) I ever bought. Still my favorite of the Sammy era.

Got these this week.

They must have sold out 😒

If I didn't have a passel of belovwd Monacos already....

First with my own coin, the fabulous K-Tel Fantastic 22!

Understandable.

It was (or is) illegal in Germany to display NSDAP imagery. I don’t know if it is illegal in other countries. The, “SS”, in the Kiss logo is verboten, so they had to use the other font. I can respect their decision on the imagery. I mean, you don’t want the kinder tying their shoes in little knot-zies, now do ya?

Cancer's a bitch... 😢

Never knew there was such a thing. Why?

Also, here's a vid on the basic (non red) version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00L21lKCkhU

Most Hamer guitars are red. Most gig bags aren't? This is a sniper's wet dream. I'm still thinking about it though, great discount. 😂

I keep getting tempted by the Fuchs ODS classic. This will tempt me even more, even though I have no room or money for more amps right now. UGGHHH. GAS go away!

Analog R2D2? just joking. Looks awesome, just made me think that when I saw it.

Whoa! “Alive”, with the Euro Kiss logo! How cool is that?
