This is not exactly new, but I figure it's worth seeing again even if you already know it... PG gets a little crazy on the solo, but I think he manages to keep it quite musical. He does a good job of making it distinctly his own yet retains the core "feel" (you know, IMSVHFO). While my Guitar Gently Weeps... Have I ever mentioned that Paul wrote me an email? -mitch

That's a beauty.

Oh my God! I finally clicked the link... I don't know where to start, so I won't. Ick. I'm ashamed for them. --- WAIT! Amazon reviews of their Nasty Nasty album - now I'm ashamed all over again: "Following on the heels of 1985's "Without Love," the band hit gold with "Nasty Nasty." The album spawned a semi-hit, "I'll Be There For You," that got a little airplay, but it is far from the best song on the album. For me, that honor goes to "Does She or Doesn't She." That is one song I can play over and over without getting tired of. But honestly, there really isn't a bad song on the album. I think I might even go as far as saying this is one of the best hard/melodic rock albums of the late 80's. It really is that good. Gene Simmons got involved with the band around this time. He had a hand in the production of this album and its lackluster followup "In Heat." The band gives a nod to Kiss in the title track, "Nasty Nasty." During the bridge of the song, they pop in the guitar bridge from The Elder's "Only You." Really cool! Also, Kiss drummer Peter Criss shares vocals on "Best in the West." What you get here from Jaime St. James, Jeff Watson, Tommy Thayer, Patrick Young, and Pete Holmes is an exceptional album of melodic hard rock, probably one of the very best releases of 1986. I've worn out two tapes and have finally managed to get a copy on CD. This is indeed the band's very best album. " --- But "Nasty Nasty" is my favorite album by Black n' Blue. Just a solid album from top to bottom. The catchy guitar riff that opens the disk with the title tune will have you playing air guitar immediately. The drum and bass combo opening "I Want it All" is great, and I would have loved to see these songs performed live. There really isn't a bad song on the cd, and if you are into 80's hair-metal this disk is a must have! ---

It's already on craigslist! http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/msg/841260704.html

Done.

"You have been outbid on 1989 Hamer USA Californian Elite..." Well, that was a fun yet brief ride. Someone clearly does want it a bit more than I do.... Darn! <By "Darn," I mean "Fuck!"> I thought I had put in an unreasonable enough number to snag this one. Don't mind me - I'll be over here in the corner, crying softly. I do feel good that I helped an HFC guy get a good chunk of cash. I'm giving like that.

Let's see - Savethematches, kurtsstuff, Cloakerz, and now open to HFC International. The Scary family may have just decided that they need "just one more" for the collection... Over six days remaining. I'm screwed.

Well, I slept on it to see if my excitement lingered into today...it does. Man, that is nice.

Hey! I thought you were done with shredders!?! My daughter doesn't really NEED braces does she?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crap - I want this. I bet others will want it more than I do, though. I'm going to look under my couch cushions now... In any case, I bid $350 just to say I did. EDIT TO ADD: And I was outbid moments later. :-)

Welcome! Pics ASAP, please. USA Hamers are amazing bargains are they not?

Beautiful! I bet it's gone by tomorrow.

Just hope that your buyer is cooperative, and do all of the above (save packaging, don't try to fix anything, take lots of photos, get quotes, etc). I've had two claims, and one was a NIGHTMARE because my buyer was, well, insane. I'd tell the story, but it's a long one and not applicable to your question. My other claim was for a Studio Custom that UPS flat-out lost. Even with a very clear claim like that it took nearly three months to get paid. Luckily I was dealing with a good guy on the other side of the claim. Good luck.

I'd say it's hard to figure out from that photo on the book, but since there is no way to disprove it, I vote it's yours! I'd make up some cool story about how the publishers were looking for the pinnacle of rockawesomeness and begged you to allow your guitar on the cover...

NICE! Congrats. I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous.

In order to provide better help, we'll be needing lots and lots of pictures of it. ;-) P.S. Buy it!

Normally I don't read posts this long, but I'm glad I did. I plan on throwing this cool little statement around alot now. :-)

Somewhere, Kizanski is shedding a tear...

You guys are studs! Awesome. Nice to see that such a badass guitar is in good hands. Plus, this reminds me of how cool the HFC is yet again.

Welcome! You already broke one board convention though by not ignoring the rules and making your first post a For Sale ad. Stick around - many good people here.

I agree. I drool over Austin's customized SC. Maybe it's because I came from classical first, but I do love the look of a sleek, preferably ebony, fretboard. I'm just too cheap to special order anything.

Quick question - Is everyone in the world better than me at guitar?! Sheez.

I remember a lot of things differently than my wife does. She's pretty much always right. I've learned to shut up most of the time now. Man, when I was young, I was "sure" about tons of stuff. Now I'm not sure about anything.

Happy Birthday! Better late I suppose...

Happy Birthday, do-gooder! Kiz, will we be seeing a party hat and candle in the old sig today?
