This you should forget.

I'm with you here. Kudos to Joe for working hard and getting to do what he loves the most. I remember when Warren De Martini was sponsored by Laney. I doubt he ever used those amps. There must be many more players who just did a deal for the money, but then still used their own trusty old gear. Not many believs Joe uses the digital amps. But Fender might still be able to sell a few on his name.

I have a 59 replica built by a friend of Tom Barlett. They shared a lot of knowledge between each other when they both started building replicas. It's an awesome LP. Thankully it's not reliced. That is something I prefer to do the old school way, by playing the crap out of the guitar.

Cool Chap for sale (not by me). It's located six hours from where I live, so I can not help checking it out. But if anyone is interested I might be able to assist with communicating with the seller. Just send me a pm. About 1400 euros. https://www.blocket.se/recommerce/forsale/item/26660455?finnMail=agent&aur_so=aurora&aur_me=email&aur_ca=search-emailsender&stored-id=4348417&ci=3

This is a good album from 1979.

When my JTM50 blew it was much cooler. I suddenly could not hear my guitar. Turned around, smoke was arising from the amp and lightning. It was awesome, totally awesome.

Had a clone. Sold it. Great amp but my old Super Champ does close enough 5E3 tones if needed.

With that guitar tone he could play a buzz saw, no one would notice the difference.

have the European original release on vinyl. Without Sykes. Perhaps it's hard to find thar LP in the US. But the 25th anniversary release has both the US and UK mixes of the album. It's on Tidal https://tidal.com/album/2890847/u And on Spotify "The 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Slide It In (released in 2009) includes both the US mix and the UK mix. Track Breakdown: US Mix (Tracks 1–10): Remixed by Keith Olsen. Features guitar work by John Sykes, bass by Neil Murray, and a polished, aggressive "American" hard rock sound. UK Mix (Tracks 12–19, bonus tracks): Original mix by Martin Birch. Features guitars by Micky Moody and Mel Galley, bass by Colin Hodgkinson, and the band's traditional bluesy British tone. This edition also includes the single B-side "Need Your Love So Bad" and a bonus DVD with music videos and live performances. "

Bernie was great. I always loved Whitesnake. The real Whitesnake from 1977 to 1982 (1984). Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody was a classic 70's guitar duo. Bernie left before the band recorded Slide it in. But Micky Moody and replacement Mel Galey did a great job on that album too. Geffen demanded a re-recording with flashy John Sykes. But, just as with Lizzy, he ruined the band more than adding anything worth talking about. (Hair metal fans peed their pants with joy though.) Seek out the original Slide it in version of the album. It's a lot better. After that Whitesnake became an MTV money maker. But it was not Whitesnake anymore. It was Coverdale solo, with guests, adapting to the times.

Listening to this music today, it feels like a 100 years ago. Remember when bands like this were everywhere? An abundance of great bands simering just under the thin line of breaking through big time. So many you did not have time to listen to them all. And now, today, you search your ass of just to find one new band with just an inch of being the real thing - and just not a bunch of influencers posing as musicians. Damn, I hate what the "music biz" has become, (which is: there is no music biz anymore, it's just one thousand people uploading shit to Spotify, Tidal etc. every day without any kind of gate keeping or talent search).

I had both Vol 1 and Vol 2 of those. Sold them when I collected the Sab catalogue.

First album on cassette, recorded from LPs: A side - Rolling Stones Rolled Gold. B - side Beatles Sgt Pepper. (long gone, wore it out) First real album I got that was from the music store: cassette with Rod Stewart - Atlantic Crossing. (still have it) First LP I got for my birthday: ABBA - Greatest hits. (still have it) First album that I bought myself (actually my parents helped me buy it): KISS - ALIVE (still have it)

I put up a picture of Nick Lowe on Instragram. With a Hamer 8 string bass. I had the jpg on my drive for some time. Don't remember where I found it. I thought it looked very clean. And after I posted it I zoomed in on some details, the fingers etc and I began to wonder if it was AI. Then I though perhaps someone just processed it, to clean it from grain. Over processing can give an unnatural clean look. Then someone commented that it looked like AI. So I ran the picture through a checker and the outcome was that it was probably AI. I get very annoyed and worried by shit like this. Our history will be all fxcked up by falsifications from AI. How will we know what is reality. How will our children and grandchildren know. Any historical photo could be all made up. Every past event can be altered with. This past weekend I started watching a youtube vid about Def Leppard. Illustrated by stills. The voice over mentioned guitarist 'Phil Collins' then a still came up with Phil Collins, playing a guitar in the studio, dressed as a member of Def Leppard. I realised I was watching AI slop. No humans involved in that video. Turned it off on the spot. I feel shitty for being fooled that the picture of Lowe was real. The Hamer bass looked very much like his old bass. just needed to vent this and say that I'm sorry that I put that shit up on Insta.
