Oh yeah? How about that crappy guitar and amp combo that Esteban is peddling on HSN? Dude! Talk about a crappy distorted tone! After he demo'ed it on t.v. I got nauseous and actually threw up a little in my mouth! Also...you guys gotta remember when DiMeola and The Beatles recorded their albums the production techniques that are around today weren't around back then. Al D. played a Les Paul through a Marshall and he's an amazing player. Can you make that combo sound better than he can? Seriously now..... You wanna hear crappy distortion? Listen to anything by Venom or get an Esteban amp and guitar combo!

Yeah he sucked....but he wrote great songs.

+1. Kurt Cobain was very talented.......but also very troubled.

I really dig HIM and Dropline. Too bad Dropline just recently broke up.

That's a HOT Axe, Dude! Love it! Congratulations! Play it in good health!

Mine was an '81 Standard that I had Hamer custom build for me. Ser # 0597. It was white with a white headstock and black binding all around. It also had an ebony fretboard with dot inlays. I regretfully sold this guitar about fifteen years ago. Anyone see it?

HIM rocks! They can get a little "goth" sounding at times and maybe even a bit repetitious, but overall they write excellent songs and they're unique. Their keyboards really add to their sound. And they're definetly "eighties" influenced!

Hey brother, how are you? VERBENA were on Capitol and I think they disbanded a couple of years ago. They've got a cool, smoky, abstract, rnr sound to 'em. Almost like watching a David Lynch movie!

Did anyone mention Verbena? If not, check 'em out. Very underrated band. BTW, speaking of eighties bands, HIM has got an eighties vibe to 'em and they rock!

God Bless you.
