  1. I’m not sure how helpful it is for me to constantly have the words, “You’re a loooooserrrr” in my head. lolz

    I not only totally dig your contribution to the HFC Volume IV but I can’t get it out of my friggin’ cranium! Great song!

      Thanks for your very kind comments about Looser.  It's definitely the least technical song on the list, so I'm honored that you would enjoy it enough to comment.

      My apologies for taking so long to respond.  I'm just coming up for air after a cross country move to start a new job.

      I really appreciate the compliment and I'll pass it on to the author of the song.

      All the best,

      Dave

  2. Really really good compilation. Like has been said before, all songs kick ass. I enjoyed each and every one. Any chance the artists on the compilation could detail what they performed on each track, how it was recorded, what Hamers/gear was used and maybe a songfact or two? I’d also like to know who had real recorded drums and who used samples... and if drum samples were used, which samples were they. I’m dying to know the stories behind the tunes... EVERYONE should chime in. Special thanks to Mike, he did a great thing with this compilation... it is seriously probably the best compilation any fan club has ever made. I am just so blown away by the level of talent here... seriously... there was ZERO dogs and even the members that aren’t confident about their playing should be proud and bold since they all ripped and shredded their guitars like pros!!!
  3. That might be true with your current practice schedule of not practicing. But give you unlimited time to practice (ugghhh I misspelled partcice every single time I tried to type it) and you'd be all over that shit like white on rice.
  4. Guitar player shouldn't have turned up but loved the drummer, he just needs to figure out how to tone down his "china" and his "kit" will have a decent metal sound. I've always thought most metal drum kits could be beat by a simple system of used drywall buckets and this proves my theory. I think the drummer could put his "kit" on a plywood riser and get some more low end out of them... Guitarist no doubt has face melting technical ability... might be Jettster in a wig
  5. Absolutely! Alongside: douchenozzle, dingleberry, rumpleforeskin, spunkbubble, asscactus, Dingus (or dingis), twatwaffle, buttnugget, dirty sanchez, & turdburgler
  6. Ha Ha Ha! You and my Dad have the same birthday although he has you beat in the years department. Happy Birthday 2 an extremely intelligent bon vivant!!!
  7. I bend a LOT so I need a gauge that will allow me to routinely and effortlessly bend 1.5-2.5 step bends depending on where I am on the neck. As an EVH fanboi... one simply cannot Erupt with heavy gauge strings. I have dry skin and can split my callouses easier than the moist skin folks so if I don't wanna be sidelined, I have to keep it at .010 for 25.5". Actually... .010 on my strat is frigging painful and I gotta adjust my claw a bit (I keep forgetting). I played my strat for a few hours a week ago and my knuckles hurt like a mutherf**ker the next day and for days... there is still some residual pain there. My .010 on my tele is just fine. .010 on my HSS w/floyd needs to be tuned down to Eb and have the baseplate leaning back a bit like a cholo so I can get just the right "feel" to my bends.
  8. HUGE Austin City Limits fan right here... try not to miss a show every weekend. I usually get home in time from my DJ gigs to check them out. Having this show on a Friday night was really cool because I do miss a show every now and then. Having David Grissom in the backing band was a total waste but it was good to see him nonetheless. I certainly did as well but when Brittany came out onstage and just effortlessly nailed the tune she did with Bonnie Raitt, I was renewed. The tune they did live that night was really good too... I was in the other room working so maybe it was with the house band, I was too wrapped up to get up and go to the other room to watch. Plus, the singer and my daughter have the same name... I for some reason thought her name was Brenda from the slurred lyrics of their song that makes me change the station when it plays... "Hold On".
  9. You need to clean the crap out of it with Naptha and then re-almagamate the lacquer with butyl-cellosolve so it can re-cure. It's a retarder, so a slower initial cure on a re-almagamation can actually make old lacquer hard again. You can get a can of Behlen's Qualalacq lacquer retarder from a fine woodworking shop and a small Preval sprayer from an autoparts store or a paint supply store. Fill up the Preval with the Qualalacq and spray it lightly on the sticky areas. It will liquify so you don't want it to run by spraying too much or letting gravity cause a run because you are holding it wrong. It will liquify and then harden. it will get shinier and harder with the Qualalacq. Warning... Butyl-Cellosolve is the brain cell killer equivalent of a nuclear bomb. You want to do it on a well ventilated area and wear a respirator. You can get some 2400 grit sandpaper and re-sand the lacquer after it fully cures. Follow this up with a swirl remover from 3M or similar brand and voila, your lacquer is brand new again. This can fix checking as well.
  10. Isn't it weird most of us got out around the same time?
  11. I stayed current until around 2000 when the excellence of the 90's was clearly dead and buried, that was age 27 for me.
  12. Ernest is not on this one, but Ecue: Ritmos Cubanos is a collaboration of Louie Bellson & big band legends with several Cuban masters. I picked it up a couple of months ago. Impeccable taste as usual Johnny! Loving this!!!
  13. Could this thread be not titled Shishkov VS Hamer? Just the v. makes it look like a court case.
