I say we send Eidelberg over there to grind the price down to $35,000.

When you compare it with the rest of his recorded work, Jimmy Page's lead on "Tangerine" fits the bill.

I've always longed for some raking, too. The best guitar techniques are the ones that share a name with a landscaping task.

I plan on it as I listen to the guitar solo in Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You." Oh wait. THERE ISN'T ONE!

And a reading comprehension problem, apparently.

Maybe someone who steered this thread off course did, but the OP certainly didn't.

GEEZ!! Doesn't anybody read a fucking thing anymore? My head's hurting here!!! Guys-this isn't a post about wankers or solos over two bars or so! Between that and this ... ... my head's about to cave in. There's a lot wrong with it when it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PREMISE OF THIS THREAD!

First lead in the Trinidaddies' "The Lesson."

Unconditional respect from me for that one alone. Truly an American anthem (apologies for the cheesiniess/jingoism).

And yet their most recent album was made available only at Wal-Mart, was it not? Reject one allegedly poisonous monolith in favor of another. Textbook "Limousine Liberal" behavior. What a bunch of tools.

I agree totally with all that, and I agree that your orange sparkle Standard is a special guitar. I had the pleasure of checking it out in the basement of the Muse and the only reason why I didn't ask Bruce to sell it to me is because I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to sell it. You are a lucky man, Weston. That one is in my top 5 all-time Hamers that I've personally seen.

At least two based on what I've read on other forums.

A break when shows were scheduled. YouTube of the alleged Florida dust-up:

Looks like you've been getting ripped off all this time. That can't sit well with you.

Maybe you were talking to Rob CALLO instead.

I'm with Matthes on this one. "Fair Warning" is their BEST album IMO but first impressions are everything, and my intro to VH was the "Outta Love Again" riff on a WABX FM commercial on TV in Detroit. Got the cassette, listened to it with a friend, was instantly hooked. Good times.

Inspired by Travis' comment in his Talladega thread. Me, from Feb. 10: And an audio clip of what was going on at the time this pic was taken: http://hereinliestherub.com/edits/FrancosEdit287.mp3

My favorite albums are the ones with the Robertson/Gorham lineup (Night Life, Fighting, Jaibreak, Johnny the Fox, Bad Reputation, Live and Dangerous) with Johnny the Fox being the best IMO. Pretty much Les Pauls (Deluxes for Gorham; Customs, Standards and P90 Pauls for Robbo) into JMP Marshalls.

A good batch came up for me today on the elliptical: "Devil's Stomp," Badlands "Saturday Night Special," Tesla "Dogs of War," Motorhead "Girls Got Rhythm," AC/DC "War Pigs," Tesla "Big Machine," Velvet Revolver "Dance the Night Away," Van Halen "Crop Circle," Monster Magnet "Shock Me," Kiss "Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed (Live and Dangerous version), Thin Lizzy

So was the second Electraglide the first Hamer ever to have a P90 in it?

That Special FM is sweet. The mid-to-late-'90s double cuts are my favorite Hamers. Someone buy this before Travis wises up and keeps it!

Beatles did a lot of rock 'n' roll in the early days, including Chuck Berry covers and originals such as "I Saw Her Standing There" and "I Wanna Be Your Man," which the Rolling Stones made into a hit single. Listen to Paul's melodic yet propulsive bass line for "I Saw Her Standing There," recorded in 1963, and you'll see that he set the course for rock bass as well. Before McCartney, most rock bass either imitated simple standup bass or meandered around the fretboard without a clue. McCartney gave it direction, rhythm, and tunefulness. I had to set Kizanski straight on this as well (not that he acknowledged that I was right, of course) but I went further back to the Hamburg Star Club recordings. If that ain't rock, nothing is. And then, of course, there's "Hey Bulldog," "Helter Skelter," "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," etc.

Just put those wheels in motion, as a matter of fact.

BTW my Studio finally arrived today, and in one piece yet. I'm satisfied.
