    This was the first one I ever picked out for myself and bought but coincidentally to OP, BTO - Not Fragile was THE album that got me into hard rock. My brother is 7 years older than me and had left most of his 8-track collection behind when he went to college. I worked my way through them and that was my first real "favorite album".

    His playing on stuff like Heard It on the X and Manic Mechanic was crazy. Kind of a secret weapon like Michael Anthony. RIP.

    Same here.

    That guy made his mark on the guitar community for sure. I had one of his camo-painted, blood-splattered superstrats with a Kahler back in the 80s. RIP.

    It broke my heart, but I sold my Zandard a few months ago. I've been meaning to make a post about it. I've also sold 4 other guitars from my collection and have 4 on Reverb right now.

    I never interacted with him personally, but I certainly remember the name. I really hate to see it when ANYone from the HFC is having health issues or passes. I played for about 40 years (up until my strokes in 2024) and I had joined several guitar forums over the years but this is the only one I actively participated in, ever. The quality of the people here is unparalleled. May Ed rock on in a better place.

    I think he's in great shape, at least psychologically. He recognizes his limitations but has a great attitude about it. Kudos to him!

    Definitely no slouch, but I felt a little sorry for him because it always seemed like whoever the "other" guitarist in Thin Lizzy was at any given time was the better player. These pics are from that "Thin Lizzy" tour when John Sykes fronted the band (so long ago I still had 'some' hair), him being one of the guitarists I referred to in the previous sentence. You can't compete with that guy.

    In addition to my comment above, I also spend a significant amount of time LOOKING FOR THAT F'ING THING I JUST HAD IN MY HAND!!!

    That's my favorite song of theirs.

    "Forgetting what I was about to ask Google" is the new "walking into a room and not remembering what I went in there for" for me.

    This inflation is worse than I thought!

    I would have! I used to play just that pedal E at the beginning of the song at band practice and invariably someone would go "YES!!! Do it!" It's funny how people can recognize a song just from something like that. One of the trademarks of my style was dropping riffs, melodies, or solo quotes from other songs into the song I was playing like they do with this one.

    I got one of their "blemished" pickups for a Malcolm Young Gretsch I have. On the sale page they picture the actual pickup you're buying and in my case, I could not see a thing wrong with it. Sounds great too of course.
