  1. I honestly dont remember. My older brother had just gone off to college when I got the bug, so blew through his collection first. Bands that had either broken up or died; Beatles then Jimi. If this wasn't the first, it would have been in the first five. Eventually saw him live with his original singer.
  2. I dont know the numbers but would say 50 is closer to the number of Scepter Vees, based on how many Ive seen the last 25+years. Scepters probably at least 200, if not more. Used to be a lot around but many were absolutely beat to shit. I have a black/red 85 and its hard not to bang it around.
  3. Did a double take on this Gibson for-sale in Facebook Market place. Yeah, its not exactly the same as a Chappie, but dang its close. Not in the market for FR guitars back then so had never seen this one before.
  4. I could vacation in the Bahamas. But thats gone in a week. I've had some guitars for decades, and could sell them for more than I bought. Can't sell a 25 year old vacation.
  5. He was the funniest, off-the-rails online dude. Great guy and did meet him once; to buy his copy of Guitars of the Stars, Rick Nielsen.
  6. YT pays them to make content so YT can sell commercials such as the ever present yet ever annoying Liberty Biberty Mutual ones. That's here and now, but have no doubt theyve been sucking down content of all types to train AI. Ricky B. has a compelling argument for how more relaxed Copyright exercise actually benefits the artists, but its their prerrogative. Those bands dont have promoters anymore tho, just lawyers. If there was a razor edge trigger to shut down most of your revenue, you'd be moaning too.
  7. Saw that when he first posted it. Listener beware. I've had AI completely hallucinate on me before. Had asked it where I could buy a particular product and it stated a store and address. Known that area for decades but thought maybe a new store had opened. Nope. The same Kitchen / Bathroom design store thats been there since 2000.
  8. Or Not Steve and Not Chris
  9. Still got mine, including the sustainblock trem arm hardware.
  10. Glad you enjoyed. That was Robert Calvert, who had done spoken word pieces in concert with them until enlisted as lead vocalist 75-78). It reminded me at the time of some of the half-sung, half spoken vocals of early punk as well as you noted Kraftwerk. Decades later I learned John Lydon had been an early concert goer/fan and hungout with them backstage, before forming Sex Pistols.
  11. Just one of those things. It was my Dark Side of the Moon, Fragile, etc. Both sides, every day, for 6 months.
  12. Valid point, but if you've done Tonex or others menu diving, this is simple. WYSIWYG - What you see is what you get.
  13. Im just more from the Blackmore school of Strats. Bridge and neck only. Never done what he did, resale value and all.
  14. The almighty Hawkwind. Critics just ended up putting them in their own sub-genre.
  15. Epiphone Casino 2018 and new PRS DGT SE for Guitars. DGT has been on my want list since they came out. The Casino has become my favorite around the house guitar. Probably the easiest player Ive ever touched and acoustically loud. Pickups are decent for clean, but a bit muddy under ovedrive. Am going to swap out and change to 50s wiring. Fryette PS100. Absolute game changer for me.
  16. Fantastic. Smart, killer player, and just cool. Petes a guy I would like to hang out with.
  17. One of the 10? That looks very similar to one I had once that was on their splash page. A bit darker. Sold it to the Texas Robin Hoover dude, Dan Kashola.
  18. Loosen tension on strings till it lays flat. Super Glue. You're Welcome.
  19. Actually have this, made me laff; was 99 cents in a bin. It sounds like you probably imagine.
  20. A 90s G&L ASAT is my current player. 2nd time I've owned it; brother and I sell/trade stuff back and forth a lot. He just had a 70s gibby deluxe minihum installed in the neck. Keeping it forever now.
  21. Super Crunchbox v2. The original Crunchbox is JCM800 to hotrodded 800, but the Supercrunch has some lower gain settings. Does the glassy Plexi sound very well. Out of Production, but I found a clone that nails it.
  22. I hit HFC/UFC in 01 era so was fortunate enough to have a ringside seat to most of his antics. Made the mistake of visiting HFC during the workday all too often; lost it more times than I could count and coworkers would just stare at me. Actually did meet him once he was still on Nova; bought my copy of Rick Nielsen Guitars of the Stars from him. Smart guy. When he later made the occasional swing thru HFC it was like old days, a cause for celebration. Although he did confuse the heck out of Pam by then.
  23. Live Title track from their recentish studio album (35th?) on sleep. Including nightmares. Most of their songs are a journey.
  24. Includes Pre-Motorhead Lemmy.
  25. That's the second thing that caught my attention. Serial number and stated date dont match.
