That reminded me of this one that I always thought was super cool... Same artist (I believe?)

What album cover just grabbed you, and affected/influenced you the most? For me, it was the Kiss Alive album As a 14-15 year old, this one shook me to my core.

Pete Thorn makes anything sound good. That said, for the most part, the vid makes me prefer the Sugarcone for sure. But that that being said, there are spots where the V30 definitely shines.

'Rock n Roll Machine' was the album I had with those songs on it.

I like Dave's singing better than Hetfield's. Actually, I like everything about Mustaine better than Hetfield.

Yeah, that's a bummer... And not that old either. RIP.

I didn't know Todd Rundgren was in Cheap Trick. 😂

I was a Weber dealer in the 2000's, they had good product then, but never had anything re-coned. Don't know about now. I remember Ted saying the magnet had to be de-mag'd and re-mag'd for the process, not sure why.

Where's @Ranger been lately? Haven't seen him around in a while, I bet this one is hitting him pretty hard.

Old footage of Walsh and Frampton playing live, they simply moved to a different mike stand.

DG was a monster. He once said Roy Buchanan got him hooked on the Telecaster.

Jim always gets screwed! 😂

I thought MTV was the greatest thing when it first started, even tho the vids were weird as hell 95% of the time. And, I was at the right age (20?) for it. 10 years later I only turned it on to watch Headbanger's Ball. Then they destroyed it, and I can't be sad about it.

In retrospect, I do occasionally enjoy Porky Pig's 'Blue Christmas'.

My favorite is the one that never gets played.

However, I like the way you eliminated the non-inverse headstock from that pic... Was that intentional? 😂

@Dave Scepter And there ya have it, it's right in the name! "(C)Ass fast valve oil".

I dunno, looks "minty clean" to me...

That is some awesome stuff! Metallica *wishes* they could compose a masterpiece like this!

All those fucking switches, and they STILL misplaced the damn volume pot! Un-believable. 😂

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm a WAY bigger fan of Megadeth than I am Metallica. Dave has more talent in his pinky finger than his "replacement" has overall. In my opinion. And, I happen to like his singing... "acting like a robot". 😂 Sounds like an evil munchkin. 😃

Those Czech Deans are really nice guitars! I have a V, myself... Light, extremely resonant, and acoustically loud. I think the top on yours is a little prettier than mine tho.
