Yeah. Them and their asshole parents.

I like the Johan Segeborn videos, but he might be running out of ideas for new videos. Then again, was there not a Pignose amp used on a ZZ Top album?

A friend loves Todd Snider and got a couple of us to go see him. He put on a fun show. Earlier this year my friend saw him again as his health issues were beginning to affect his touring schedule. He is glad he was able to see Todd a last time. I am glad I got to see him once.

Play it and the finish might not matter anymore. I still want a Talladega.

Yes.

Was he a member here for a short time?

At 8:51 you can recognize @Jeff R in a photo with Ace.

I have a Sven Dirkschneider drumstick!

That is the Asian import model. They were nice.

Sports teams convince government to build their stadiums and arenas with public money. The contracts usually allow the teams to take all revenue, and the government is supposed to recoup its "investment" through accommodation tax and tourism dollars flowing to the local community. Imagine being able to get government to build a guitar store building for you and letting you use it rent and tax free.

There will be rabid KISS fans for another decade or so. Flying V's are going to be around for a while, too. They will still sell today.

Is your Suhr a Strat, or does it just look like a Strat? There have been guitars like the Hamer Daytona and PRS Silver Sky that have design differences. So, how different is the Suhr?

Another PM sent.

Just look click on the song title to see how many times Heaven Tonight was reported as being played. The count is 502 so far. https://www.setlist.fm/stats/cheap-trick-23d6d4b3.html

They did play Heaven Tonight live.

The flux capacitor is what makes the guitar so expensive. So, how much would Gibson charge for an ES-345 with a regular case and no accessories?

Obviously, Gibson is counting on 88 people worldwide (out of billions) to order these.

My friends and I saw Ace twice this year. We saw him twice last year. We went to any Ace Frehley show within three hours. We even did seven hours in each direction for a show. We loved Ace!

Do the Parker Fly guitars have an identifiable sound? Mark Farner was playing one when I saw him a couple of years ago, and I did not like the sound of his guitar. So, could it have been the Fly, or was it just his amp settings?

It is happening! Alex and Geddy will do some shows next year with Jeff Beck's last drummer, Anika Nilles, and a keyboard player.

Will someone adapt their playing to find a use for that pedal, or will that pedal help someone get a sound they hear in their head? Someone out there is going to make that Poly Shifter sound good.

Everyone wants to sell something "based on" the old Tonebender. Nothing is really that "new." There are kits that will get people in the same zone. Some of the fuzz sounds in the video are nice.
