  1. i just read that aloud to my brother, we're cracking up over here.
  2. hate to admit, but lately i don't touch a guitar unless i have to teach or play a gig. super busy w/ new job/gigs/lessons. a few months ago i was practicing singing more than guitar.
  3. i've seen t-ride live, as well as dada, both were impressive shows. here's part of an obsessed documentary that examines their style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COgbSmzbtoM
  4. the obsessed, spirit caravan, place of skulls, hidden hand. imho, mainman of all of these bands, scott "wino" weinrich, shoots himself in the foot because everytime he switches out his rhythm section he changes the name of the band, even though they all sound similar and he does the vast majority of lead vocals/lead guitar/songwriting (although place of skulls did have a 2nd singer/leadguitarist/songwriter). i think if he would have just kept 'em all called the obsessed he wouldn't have lost so much momentum. his sound is very sabbath inspired, dark heavy sludgy riffs with distinctivly sung (not screamed) vocals. hidden hand is still touring and recording, but my fave tunes by wino are from the obsessed & spirit caravan. edit for vid linkage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG_GLT_0KZk
  5. when me & the wife went out to see dave's band SPANK awhile back, they opened w/ a kickass version of "love gun", w/ dave nailing the vocals and solo. RAWK!!!!!!
  6. cool david!!!!
  7. sabs = 2 SG's. brad gillis = kahler installed on 2nd SG. r.a.t.m. = whammy pedal. all that was decades ago, all my gear purchases in the last ~15-20 years was influenced by my ears or reviews/recommendations.
  8. SABS (all the remastered ozzy era cd's, plus "heaven & hell", "mob rules", & the new "dio years" comp), LIZZY (most of the post "fighting" cd's plus an early comp; had most of the vinyl years ago), CHARLIE HUNTER (i think i have all his solo releases, and several of his side project/collaborations like t.j.kirk, garage a trois, stanton moore, etc). SCO (most of his stuff from "a go go" on, and a few earlier live & comp cd's). RHCP's (used to have all of 'em, now i just have "uplift mofo party plan" thru "californication", plus "stadium" and the "best of" disc). VH (most of the DLR stuff). ps- zoner & other ZZ TOP fans need to get the remastered "smoke & BBQ" box set, they removed all the horrible digital reverb that was added on the "six pack" disaster.
  9. PM sent on phatcat.
  10. i was in my schools "king shit band" (i peaked early in life!). 7th grade we did paranoid, sweet emotion, & shot down in flames; 8th grade we did what do you do for money honey, train kept a rolling, & (local dallas band the telefones') jerry godzilla. 9th grade we missed the 1st show meeting and the bitch teacher kicked us out!
  11. i have a few WM tunes on the ipod.
