  1. He certainly left a mark on pop oriented radio. If you were ever out on a date when Please go all the Way came on you always turned it way up. Even if you knew it was lame. I was listening to a Raspberries tune yesterday off my playlist. I think it was I’m a Rocker. Lot more rockish than what they were known for.
  2. He did a couple of vocals on the first Hollywood Vampires album. On first listen I had to look at the notes on who was that singing. He was very good.
  3. Me to. Especially when they are in your own age group and were big influences during your early years.
  4. Trower IMO gets the best tones out of a Strat than just about anyone else.
  5. When you have a guitar that looks that good you absolutely have to put the best sounding pickups in them. Even if it means going back to the boring 59’s. Don’t comedown with that boutique disease that is always going around.
  6. My guitar playing is pretty bad and I can guarantee you those amps were not going to improve anyone’s ability or increase their motivation to learn.
  7. I saw Rush a few months earlier of that year. A triple bill of Angel, Rush and BOC as the headliner. Their image at that time was definitely drifting toward their more progressive sound and what they are noted for today. I was there to hear Working Man and anything off the first album.
  8. I think a lot of people forget how badass Kiss was back in the mid 70’s. Those pictures brought back good memories from those days.
  9. Sorry to hear how this played out. Has to be disappointing. It’s one reason why all my guitar purchases are for guitars under $800 and a meet up in a parking lot. That and I don’t have 4 grand to purchase a guitar.
  10. I had a 79 custom that I bought in 79 from a small local store. My total price was $580 if I paid cash which I did. Heavy guitar. I popped out the original bridge pick up and put in a Dimarzio Super Distortion. All I remember about the original pickup was that it was marked Gibson with a 1978 date on it.
  11. I use to do security at a couple of venues and many times I was up close to the stage. Loudest was a stoner band called Sleep. The guitarist and the bass player were each playing through three Orange full stacks. And they weren’t for show, all were plugged in. Painfully loud even with ear protection. Even the house roadies were complaining. Second loudest concert I saw was Motörhead and Alice Cooper. I think it was a competition to see who could be the loudest.
  12. They did. The Kiss of today and the Kiss of 1975 are not the same creature. Today it’s a corporation. Back then it was loud and had a serious edge.
