Cool. I'll reveal more info about the band after more people chime in. They were a blip on the radar, but god damn were they good. I'm almost drunk enough to offer up my Phantom Custom to whoever can identify these guys, but I didn't make the file name cryptic enough. The internet makes life too easy lol.

Whaddya think of this: http://hereinliestherub.com/nas/01%20Under%20It%20All.mp3

See what happens when product development decisions are initiated by the marketing guy? As the voice of the marketers here at Playboy (meaning, I have to write the annoying bullshit they come up with and send out to get people to buy something) I can tell you that 99% are clueless dweebs. It still astonishes me that you can get a degree in marketing. Maybe a notch more sophisticated and challenging than basketweaving. Then again, they're making all the money and I'm the lowly creative guy, so who's the dummy?

Who's Molly? New girlfriend?

Playing bass more, at least once per session. I got three now, might as well put 'em to use:

So you buy an expensive vehicle and there's no fucking lug wrench for the spare .... are you OK with that, even if you know what size you need? It's the principle of the thing.

I don't get it? What kind of tool did you expect? I have never bought a guitar that came w/ a tool. Every guitar I've ever purchased has ended up in the possession of a tool. Is that the same thing? But yeah, I was pissed off when an Indonesian Squier bass I bought didn't come with a truss rod wrench. Gotta be far more maddening when the cash layout is about 10 times more and the same thing happens.

Yeah, I'd like to see any of those rat-a-tat-tat cockroach stompers try to play "Power to the Music."

Very true. Can't have anyone believing he'd hit on anyone that old.

Motley Crue sucks? That's news to me.

You do realize they won't do that headstock period, don't you? It's not the same as the current 3+3 headstock. That would be like asking for narrower, long-necked headstock on a '77 Sunburst. It ain't gonna happen. But I'm sure your public hissy fit about taking your business elsewhere will make Jol and co. scramble to accommodate you. Kind of like when someone's item doesn't sell on the FS forum and he "threatens" to put it on eBay. "Oh shit, I can't let that happen. Where's my credit card?"

First thing you learn in business is you can't please everybody.

While you're at it, why don't you ask them to put a Standard headstock on a Studio?

Explains why he's a bitter son of a bitch a la John Fogerty. I remember when Beth Littleford lampooned him with one of her interviews on the Daily Show years ago. Boy did he come off as a Class A cock. No luck finding it on YouTube unfortunately.

From MSRetailer: Roman Guitars Closing (Port Washington, NY - June 14, 2007) Las Vegas-based Ed Roman Guitars, known as “The World’s Largest Guitar Store,” began liquidating its assets on June 13. This comes six months after Roman sold the business to a company operating area car dealerships. According to Roman, nine employees were let go in May, followed by 13 more on June 13. Roman believes a car dealership will replace his store, due to the potential for more profits. “I want everyone to know I’ll be back and everything will be made whole,” said Roman. “I am in the process of buying my name back. I didn’t sign any non-compete clause, so I hope to reopen a store, although it won’t be as large as my last one.” According to Roman, his potential new store would also open in the Las Vegas area.

Hopefully whoever did that got his cock caught up in that mess a few times.

New American Shame. Saw them open for the Cult in 1999. Their self-titled CD is a modern day version of "Highway to Hell." Great band, ran aground soon afterward.

I heard Rush's "Spirit of Radio" and went out and bought a wah.

No BadgerDave content? He was there, wasn't he?

Man, I am a SUCKER for natural guitars ....

Euro, I'm guessin' ....

Judging by the songs you listed, "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry seems like a shoo-in. Every hard rock cover band is doing that one these days, it seems. You'll know why when you see the effect it has on the women in the audience.

I have everything Gov't Mule has released. They and Thin Lizzy have the most songs on my iPod.

What America should do is ban both tobacco and booze and legalize the smoking of marijuana.

It's no Egyptian scene Dremeled into a metallic top, but it's a nice effort.
