  1. Greatest talent of our generation IMFO
  2. 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
  3. 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;
  4. Eric moved here to Greensboro a few years ago, but I keep missing the few local shows he does.
  5. I just got his signature DV Mark hybrid 60w amp head, the "Raw Dawg", you can see it ~1:30
  6. Please tell me you are doing a Trower tribute! Ill play bass & sing
  7. Carr makes great stuff.
  8. Wish I had a vid of Ded Mullet doing it, I feel like we kicked arse on it 😁
  9. Its fun, thats why. I go thru a few guitars every year, I evaluate and enjoy them for awhile then move 'em on. I never have more than 5 at a time. They are all temporary, except my Ibby AS50, that a keeper.
  10. Yes sir! I used 11s for awhile in the 90s ("SRV dick measuring" haha). Eventually went to 10s, then I hurt my left hand in a bike crash in 2010 and switched to 9s on 25.5" guitars and 10s on 24.75". I had an epiphany when I got my 1980 Ibby semi hollow; it sounded great we 9s clean, even with no compression thru a SS amp, it just has the jazz tone I've been looking for. The right guitar will sound good no matter what you string it with. YMMV
  11. The White Album? There was nothing on that fookin cover...
  12. The pickup shape is problematic if you decide to replace them, kinda like those weird G&L Pbass looking pups.
