Put me down as being into the Hollywood Vampires because of Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. 50 years ago who could have predicted them being in a band together?

Martin signs autographs and talks to people after his shows.

It was not politics or religion, so it is all good.

As for the tire, AI sometimes just makes up details. There is a YouTube video out there that explains enhanced video for television shows from the past. They are made to look like contemporary high definition video. AI enhances the viewer's perception of clarity, but details in the background sometimes get filled with garbage details. Award certificates that were never meant to be read have some nonsense spelled out. Sports team banners may have incorrect names or spellings. "Home Sweet Home" can become something else.

WANT!!!

That was so dumb it drained me of the ability to say something about it. The rest of my day is going to be spent trying to recover from being dragged down by that level of stupidity. You know, @Submariner85, you really ruined my day.

Someone I worked with died from brain cancer. A month before his death we had a decent conversation, but he had a rough voice.

I have an amp that does quite well without a pedal. Overdrives have done nothing for me except take out some high frequencies. The Robin Trower overdrive did nothing for me when it was used with an unmodified Fender Bassman head. Volume knobs work better for me. So why do people use overdrives? What are they doing that I have not learned to do?

My friend has moved on to Facebook and no longer goes to Kramerforumz.

Hamer would have ordered logo sheets in batches. Someone filling an order may have pulled up the font on their computer and printed out what looked good on that day. The "USA" definitely changed over the years.

I have never understood how to make an overdrive/boost pedal work. Please give us the Boost for Dummies simple explanation.

...or a partial refinish.

A friend used to be a known Kramer collector. An e-mail was sent, if the address is still good. Maybe we will have some good news for you.

For what went into creating that guitar, it was sad seeing it parted out. It is good knowing it is whole again.

That sounds like every rock band from the 1980's radio compacted into one song.

And the strings still have tension on them.

Well... Bill has a positive attitude. That is good!

Asking ain't get... Oh, what's the use?

Who knew that strippers can play musical instruments?

Kansas was always incredible. Sadly, they moved on to a legacy band now. Within 10 years of joining Kansas Ronnie Platt became the most senior member of the touring band.

Sweetwater has Les Paul Customs for less than $5999. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCEBGH1E--gibson-custom-les-paul-custom-ebony-with-ebony-fingerboard https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCU700EBGH--gibson-70s-les-paul-custom-electric-guitar-ebony

For someone who cannot transition well from one scale length to another the long scale Les Paul might work for them. The higher price for this guitar makes it feel like more of a gimmick than a useful option.

So it was funny like comedy used to be.
