My thing is to sound good on the crappiest gear. That hasn't worked, either.

How was Del Amitri? I always loved those guys. One of the best bands you never hear about.

....or the Happy Gilmore sequel....

I liked them early on, but as the music in my sphere got heavier - and Chicago went to the pop side - I listened less and less. No denying the talent, regardless. Losing Kath was monumental. R.I.P., Mr. Parazaider.

Well at least it'll be good for something.

Love the streaks in it.

My wife put this on while I was sitting there and I was thinking, 'What is this cheesy shit?', then find out it's a real story that really happened in Milwaukee. And the more I watched, the better it got - the depictions of small-town Wisconsin 'fame' and the people who strive to attain it were dead on, cheese and all. Plus the fact that Wolverine and Kate Hudson did their own singing - and did it really well - added a lot to it. Neil Diamond is a great talent, both as a writer and a performer. Not my go-to by any stretch, but I grew up with sisters who had his records, and 'Hot August Night' is pretty damn good. This movie was a surprise, but waking up with Niel Diamond earworms sucks. I need a rock and roll Q-tip.

Gator sells on 'lifetime warranty' which is great if you only live a year or so.

Sorry for your loss, Don. Sounds like a great friend. And why do these things have to happen in Wisconsin?? First Otis, then Stevie, now Micheal. R.I.P., Mr. Gargano.

Well done! ....but I don't see any Specials or Juniors in there.....

You DEFINITELY need both. And an Artist. And probably a Special. And a Junior. And.......

I have used a million-year-old Boss GT-3 - live and studio - for 20 years. It has every Boss effect in it and has never failed to produce usable sounds for every recording fiasco I have attempted. For your home studio, whatever you use will work just fine. If you get a recording contract, you'll be re-recording everything anyways, so don't sweat the small details - get the best take you can with the gear available and make the song come alive. And if that doesn't work, listen to the tones of Billy Gibbons or Jimmy Page. Standing alone you'd think 'what the fuck?'. But in context, there's none better.

🤪

Three-holer AND 12ver, to boot. Nice!

The coolest part? They all look like they're having so much fun onstage. She has really brought a spark to the boys. It's great to see.

Tortex seem to work better with a little moisture. I got in the habit of wetting my first finger and thumb and rarely drop one anymore. Only took 40 years to figure that out.

Holy f**k - somebody actually did it!

Opening night with the eyes of the world on her. I'd be dropping more than that....

1" spade bit from the side. Cover resulting holes with duct tape (checkerboard, if you're feeling fancy).

^^^That one just hurts the eyes.

Yeah, but they *lightly* beat it up for you already. 🤪

Yeah, this. It would look better reversed, with the longer horn on the bottom. But still.... Why can't they all just be Les Pauls, Strats and Teles??

I think it means that it's round, like a broom handle or baseball bat.
