When Nirvana was current, they belonged to another generation, not mine. They were music of the teenagers. Twenty years later, it's just old time rock and roll. I considered buying Nevermind and In Utero. Before I did I asked: how is the drumming, the mastering, the vocals and the production...

Hi. I have never heard this album. It's supposed to be a return to form for Cheap Trick. What's the consensus on this one?

I tell no one what I use. I've had people offer me one million dollars to divulge my gear secrets, but nothin' doin'.

Martin Barre should be "barred" for hiding that logo. (yes, that's an original joke)

Just a heads up: There is a new Audio Fidelity Gold CD version of Heartbeat City mastered by Steve Hoffman. It is said to sound great.

Has anybody ever been paid to stop playing? I had people literally throwing money at me if I would stop. I stopped, but it was kind of humiliating.

Hi. I love Lollar pickups. According to the Lollar website, Hamers are one of the brands featuring these pickups. Is there a standard model with Lollars or is this a special order?

I didn't fall, I was pushed.

I feel that Eddie might be devastated by Bertinelli's admissions. He still loves her.

have you tried turning down the tone controls even more? I used to have the tone control on my Mahogany Artist on "2" when using the bridge pickup.

With all due respect, what happens when you turn down the tone control?

I strongly disagree with some of the comments here. I ONLY want to see hard rock performed by seasoned, grizzled rock vetrans in their 50s and 60s. I don't want to see some green kids on stage who think that Fall Out Boy is classic rock. I've seen some of you guys at Jaxx and you kicked ass...

Hi. I own a mahogany p-90 guitar, a Collings 290, with Lollar P 90s. I vastly prefer the sound of them to the Duncans in my stock, Hamer Artist Mahogany. If I changed my pickups in the Artist to the Lollars, would it sound very close to my Collings 290? The quality of the Hamer Artist seems...

I don't understand why you would need to build a special guitar to play in a lower key. Most guitars play in all keys.

I find if I turn down the tone to about 2 on my hamer Artist mahogany on the bridge pickup, a stock duncan, I get a nice thick fat, dry humbucking sound.
