Getting spaced/notched this week:

Church! So sick of the pussification of, “tube tone.” All of the modern replications cannot replace the sound of cranking your shit UP.

The best-ever version of, "Johnny B. Goode", possibly only rivaled by Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush. JH's use of feedback/whammy on this track is awesome.

“Aythe Frehley, lead giTAH! AwwRAT!”

Best Hamers I've owned by far, followed closely by my Graphic Special. The early '80s and the mid-'90s are my jam...

I like PR in the way I like Amyl and the Sniffers. Both bands couldn't be more different, but they are female-led and kick major wads of booty.

That’s a nice one. I wonder if the pricing bodes well for my two Protos?

Dang. What a mensch!

Sammy saved the bar in Mexico, and saved VH. Eddie offered to buy out Mikey (of his 25% share) and he told the VH bros to pound sand. Then he got fired. He still gets his mailbox money, so, “winning!”

Would that be on a global eq setting? Parametric or graphic?

Message sent on #2 set!

“Rimmer…”

FIFY.

The bassist’s bassist. Dude has been laying it down since the early-70s, always bringing the thunder. He has earned his retirement.

That’s crazy. When I worked at GC, they had fifteen stores nation wide.

Kevin DoBlow. C’mon! I can’t be the ONLY one here who thought this up?!!!

Sounds like ass, at any price. Doesn’t take a pedal to get a PG/GM sound. Proper pickups, touch/technique will get you there.

I purchased a Tokai from a Canadian shop. I paid California sales tax, shipping and (get THIS) Japanese tarriff. I don’t know the policy concerning import of USA items back to America.

I dunno…those angled Grovers would really bug me.

Wasn’t, “Lorento”, Bill Lawrence’s stage name in Europe?

GC ain’t gonna do shee-IT. They’ll just keep sloughing along being GC, selling beginner/midline gear to hobbyists. Like Tower Records, their empire has grown too huge to manage. They’ll transfer from receivership to receivership until, eventually…. Hasn’t happened yet, though. I will probably be proven wrong.

Roolz. Saw them with Accept last year. The Priest catalog stuff was epic, the new material is excellent!

Kee-RIPES! The guy has lost a few steps but he ain’t dead yet.

LB has always worn costumes. They’ve been masquerading as a metal band from the beginning.

You got it, mang, if I can claim dibs on that Aria!
