Simply my favorite place! Get up early, go to Bailey's General Store and get some fresh bakery goods and coffee, go back and wake her up with that!

How long has it been since you've Skyped? It's been video-capable for at least three or four years now.

Awesome! Much preferred over LGG! Would love to see the uke version, as well.

! Love that song, especially when Miles did it!Does this guy live in the Grand Canyon State, or have you arranged some sort of distance learning with him? I'm definitely going to check out some DVDs - he really has a great teaching style.

Lady Gaga = Dale Bozzio wannabe! But kudos for finishing.

Corrected

I was just thinking that would make a great finish in and of itself: candy leopard sparkle.

Velo is French for bicycle. I don't speak French, but virtually all of the bicycle press uses the term (velonews.com, velo-retro.com, nycvelo.com, ad nauseum). Being a cycling enthusiast needing a Skype user name, I chose velo for bike and my last name. Goofy, but it worked. The HFC was the first message board I ever joined. Velorush was the only user name I'd ever used, so I just used that one.

I've tried to convey to my kids what everyone was listening to when that came out and how completely radical it was in the day. They're starting to get it, but unless you were there I guess it isn't the same. The first time I first heard it flying north out of town in a friend's mid-70's Monte Carlo. It was summer, the windows were down and the stereo (likely a Craig R3 with Jensen Tri-axials like all us rednecks had in those days) was cranked. I, too, asked not 'WHO is that?' but 'WHAT is that?' Eruption didn't even strike me as being guitar.

^^ What he said! (I hope that's Happy Birthday!)

Congratulations! Best to you! Let us know as soon as you have web site, contact info, FB... all that stuff!

I am only a casual fan, owning only one DT CD and one LTE CD, but have found the drumming incredible. That said, I probably wouldn't have written such an announcement but would have allowed room for others to say those things for me (and had he not written them, others probably would have).

^^^What he said^^^

Love me some reflectors. Nice mods, great looking guitar!

Heck of a Dr. Pepper burp there around 1:30 and again around 1:44 and 2:05; guess that was why she was screaming before (esophageal pain?). It was better when she started singing. Looks like fun.

Where have I been? Oh yeah, here! I caught his name in the 'who should have been at Crossroads' thread but didn't think to investigate at the time. Now my other browser tab is stuck on his YouTube playlist. Great stuff. Incredible tone regardless of what axe he's wielding (some stuff from '08 where he's playing a Sherwood Green Strat - Hot Rod Reissue, perhaps?). Thanks for posting this!

In Firefox, <CTRL>F, then type E'town and you'll find it immediately. Done, BTW - best to you!

Would LOVE to see Jimmy Herring!

Total sold-out Rush geek since seeing them live in '81 ('Temples' was one of the few songs I was familiar with prior to the concert). I lost interest in their new stuff during the synth years, but picked back up at Roll The Bones. The recent stuff is very good. Love the Snakes and Arrows Live DVD!

Pull Tone for the middle pickup (like the US Masters Hornet)?

Sweet! From all I've read that is supposed to be the big brother of my Subway Blues. What does it weigh? Dibs when you get tired of it?

Helena Christensen aside (and let's be real, that was REALLY the reason for my 19-year-old butt to be frozen on the fraternity house couch during that vid) I have always really dug the space in the song and arrangement. There is just so much not going on that it sounds very full and rich. stopped us in our tracks for quite a while (though for very different reasons). It showed us very suddenly that Eddie Van Halen was, contrary to prior opinion, likely human and that there were actually other people playing not only in that sort of style, but exceeding in precision and control.

Well, no, if you put a humbucker on it, it isn't going to look like a Junior.

Not for it or against it (P-Rails), but Triple Shots are the only way to go with the P-Rails. All four positions - no other switches required.

Dude! Where's the Wonderbar? I remember playing a white [Wonderbar-equipped] one just like that... a loooooooooooooong time ago! Ithad a red logo and all black hardware. Hung in a friend's store for ages.
