  1. Here is a link to a Monaco that is still mine(Even though I put it up on the blocks last week--I'm glad I didn't sell it though because I'd be without a Bigsby equipped guitar!). http://s469.photobucket.com/albums/rr56/Th...mview=slideshow
  2. Well Nick, when do we meet for a little jam? Nick, Your new Monaco is the second one on this thread that used to be attached to me!!! I'm so glad that they found good homes!
  3. Gorgeous!!! Here's the link to pictures of my Monaco! http://s469.photobucket.com/albums/rr56/Th...nt=IMG_2100.jpg You might, sir! Thanks again for the great deal. This guitar will go into the crematorium with me. Bonded with it instantly, as I have with everything else I currently own. I'm so glad that she turned out to be such a good match for you!
  4. I'm digging that Carvin. If you have an overwhelming urge to send it to me, I can pm you my address . . . I too like the Carvin!!! Nice Natural Quilt on her!
  5. Great Newport! How do you like the tone with those Seth Lover PUPS?
  6. Congratulations Men!!! You've made through another good year. Lets hope you guys have a great year to come!
  7. Great bargain Austin. I like the Amber Burst too.
  8. My sister Terry & I went to see the original line up of Culture Club at the Arie Crown Theater here in Chicago seven or eight years ago. It was a blast!!! Great people watching & meeting & they sounded really good.
  9. I second your emotion on the SuperPro PF!!!
  10. I question how big of a trend it is. I say it's fringe appeal at best. Metal music isn't all over the airwaves, neither television nor radio, like it was back in the '80s. Not by a longshot. Those companies you mention are also almost exclusively known for their metalloid designs. Hamer started out as a big power pop brand, then went metal, then went totally Gibsonesque and now is doing classic, jazzier and mellower designs. They have a wider appeal, which generally is a good thing in business. Besides, why would they want to horn in on a market that Jackson, Charvel, Kramer, Schecter et al have cornered? Hey Chris, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, non Stairway to Heavan Zep songs, and on and on never really got played on Radio, but obviously they had massive appeal. I really see a renniasance of sorts with classic metal, classic rock, new era metal/shred, plain old straight forward Rock 'n' Roll, Power Pop, Country, Blues, Hip Hop, etc., etc., I love seeing Tesla, Megadeth, Anthrax, Ozzy, BLS, Rick Emmett, Aerosmith, possibly Led Zeppelin with Robert or Sammy in front, etc, etc touring at the same time SevenDust, GodSmack, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Lamb of God, ShineDown, POD, 3DD, Shadows Fall, etc., etc., I really feel that I/we are at a great time for "live" music to reign again. Humbly, Ted I've owned a few washburns and lusted after a lot more in a local store. I had a G10V with a wonderbar. Not a bad trem. A bit limiting, but a clever design. Silentman, I too love Washburn guitars! I have a Mundeline made dreadnought acoustic, and a Winter 2006 NAMN Pilsen. Their new American made shred models, especially with the Parker composite boards I've heard are kick as#. I can't wait to try these out. They got great reviews. I also can't wait to take a tour of their "factory"/Luthier shop!
  11. It's pretty simple, really. Jol's an aging baby boomer and he's targeting his own demographic. Metal guitars will never again be produced en masse by Hamer as long as Mssr. Dantzig is at the helm. That's too bad. Heck, I just turned 41 and I feel like rockin hard/metal more than I did when I was in high school and college. I think it would be a poor decision by Mr. Dantzig for Hamer Guitars and Hamer Guitar Lovers.
  12. Now that's a Tribute if I''ve ever seen one!
  13. Happy Birthday Dirk! I hope you have a great day! For sure make some time to RAWK OUT, or just do some guitar noodling.
  14. Happy Birthday Bernard! Hope you have a wonderful time today celebrating your special day!!!
  15. Could there be a cuter trick or treater?
  16. Great to see The Young Ones paying homage to a relatively new classic.
  17. It's a CD on UK label MPI IIRC. Thanks Gene.
  18. Hijack. Did we talk about the proposed Phil movie "My Son"? CSI's Gary Dourdan as Phil? Looks like he's been "living the role" of late... Phil's Hair in this photo is the Hairstyle I most relate Phil with.
  19. big +1. top 5 band for me. saw lizzy on the chinatown tour when i was in 8th grade, awesome. I never was able to see them, and that is a shame. Thanks BTMN on the heads up for the 75' concert DVD. I don't think I could bear to watch it.
  20. Ted, I look forward to meeting you next weekend to purchase your Monaco. You echoed my feelings exactly. Although he was a tortured soul, Phil is a personal hero of mine. I can only hope that his contracts were such that his mother Philomena has lived a very comfortable life from the residuals of her son's work. They both deserve it. Hey MCChris, I have had to face a lot of my own "personal demons" over the last 11 years. I feel from the bottom of my Heart with Phil, his friends, Family, and Fans. I don't think people really get it when someone is in so much emotional pain. I hope more people get in touch with their inner selves, and realize that most people who are dealing with their tortured souls are not being self centered, or selfish.
  21. Hijack. Did we talk about the proposed Phil movie "My Son"? CSI's Gary Dourdan as Phil? Looks like he's been "living the role" of late... What an incredible Musician/Singer/Bass player/all around true artist! I would love to see the movie get made. People when reminded about Thin Lizzy's great catalogue of songs always tell me that they loved the songs from Thin Lizzy which were played on the radio when they were recording and touring. I tell these friends & acquiantances to go deeper into their catalogue & not just listen to the more "radio friendly" songs. What another great loss for Phil's Family, friends, and fans--Heck, the whole world lost a sincere, genuine, and talented person, let alone a very good musician.
