Steve Haynie

You know, one could take a saw and grinder to that body, patch in some wood, make a new pickguard, and redesign everything on that experiment, then send it back to Gibson as having the kinks worked out in the design flaws.

That Atomic Age model immediately gave the impression it should be displayed alongside some of Gibson's lap steels from the 1950's.

The classic lineup of Scorpions set in motion what would define heavy metal. Francis Buchholz left us a great legacy.

I can live with Dave's singing. I like this version of Ride The Lightning.

Consider who this thread is about. The dick threshold is pretty high. Go ahead. Take a chance.

Davies' deeper voice was the one that made Supertramp a little easier to listen to when I first heard them.

Tom Werman wrote in his book and a blog that he felt Mother's Finest should have been more successful.

Since he pulled in a sponsor that markets eyeglass frames, he has been playing Mr. Magoo.

"Three chords and the truth." That got old. Why do these podcasters and youtubers think they need a catchphrase? In this case it is not even original. The tease is also annoying. Give us info without the buildup.

Offer your friend $40!

What? She can't put the bikini back on for the interview?

The first two were easy. Heck with the rest.

For historical reference... The Bag.

Jeff Beck used something called "the bag" that might have been homemade. I have not looked up that piece of history.

That's a hoot!

Gene just states a fact. Peter did not write the songs for which he gets a songwriting credit. He did not say it in a mean way.

A friend is unhappy about Gene talking about Peter in a negative way while Peter has a new album to promote. I agree that this is not the time to say anything bad about Peter.

Why can't a refinished mess like that drop into my hands? 😟

This is how I spent New Year's Eve... Blackberry Smoke New Year's Eve Setlist

MTv videos were never as interesting to me as live concert videos. Not having cable meant not keeping up with the latest videos. The VJ's were never celebrities to me. This news is not good-- a business is disappearing. I just cannot care since they got rid of most of the music even though I did not watch it.

Clapton has some wonderful history. Cream was great. Then things went wrong. Supersuckers visit guitar shops when they tour. They have been to Guitar Center so many times that it became a running joke to photograph their guitar player, Metal Marty Chandler, flipping off the giant Clapton photo that is on the wall of every Guitar Center. The idea blossomed into becoming part of their show on their most recent tour. They even sold stickers that match the kick drum head.

The enthusiasm for guitar is really showing.

Allen Collins sometimes makes me want a Firebird, too.

Sure we do. Exotic Tiki Island will have holiday themed weekend shows, and Hawaiian music with a Christmas theme is just so wonderful that we should share that experience with everyone we know.
