  1. The balance sheet, most likely.
  2. There are very few big-time bands out there that aren't willing to play private functions. For the right price, of course.
  3. ^^^ Ummm, that'll work!
  4. I'm sure whoever knocked that guitar over is swimming with the fishes right now.
  5. Can it be DNA?
  6. Putting it out there publicly: I want a "Fackyo" TRC for my SuperPro. Make one for my boy Kiz while you're at it. Make it happen, Mitch. Remember the Playboy tour.
  7. Unlike eBay, the HFC doesn't suck.
  8. http://elderly.com/vintage/items/30U-18345.htm
  9. These pants are so tight, you can actually see the fur:
  10. Can't even begin to explain why, but I don't hate this.
  11. Damn, did I miss a Social Distortion Guitar Center Session?
  12. In addition, you can hum a lot of his solos. Not so much with Vinnie.
  13. The best part of the Kiss announcement: no possibility of Dave Grohl horning in on the performance in any way. In and of themselves, record sales do not equate to quality. If they did, we all better start worshipping at the altar of One Direction. Similarly, speed does not equate to talent on the guitar. Creatures is the better album, and Ace is the better guitar player. Vinnie 's true talent is in hard rock songwriting. The only reason LIU put them back on the map is because they removed the makeup.
  14. Fixed. Paul had some good comments in the Classic Rock Magazine interview regarding which band members get inducted, citing the Chili Peppers bringing up their first drummer who was in the band before anyone knew who they were. They also excluded Navarro, which I found odd. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it. If the Hall makes that call, why would they exclude a guy who was in Jane's Addiction, a darling to the Rolling Stone brass? And if the band makes the call, why isn't Eric Carr, a beloved member of KISS, going in? So far we've only heard Ace and Peter's side; I wonder if/when we'll hear a response from Gene or Paul. Regardless, none of this is surprising. We have another CCR situation brewing here, where the other two living members were allowed onstage for the acceptance but excluded from the musical portion, during which they walked out of the theater (I think I'm remembering that correctly). It's all very childish (as is gossiping about them, or worse, doing a Podcast about them) but I guess none of us plebes will ever fully understand the rock star ego. Which is probably for the best. Edit: it just occurred to me that the Hall probably wants Navarro to go in first with Jane's, thus the Chili Peppers exclusion.

  16. The cover that drained many a container of hand lotion.
  17. Soundwise you can get close with upgraded pickups, and yes, there are palpable differences in wood quality and craftsmanship, but to me the X factor is the fretwork. Poorly seated, uneven frets can really make a guitar unplayable. If you're gonna incur the additional cost of plekking and refretting, you might as well just pop for the costlier, higher quality instrument.
  18. The detective has his hands full with work that benefits the prosecutor. Frankly, I'm surprised you and Ted even got a dick on the phone at all. The older I get, the more I realize that everything our parents taught us is horseshit.
  19. Returning a stolen computer to its rightful owner is not the sort of thing that'll get a prosecutor re-elected. Not even close to being sexy enough. Oh, and eBay sucks.
