Steve Haynie Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Somebody stole Bob Seger's Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 That sucks, but priceless? Even the $8 to 10 K seems high, doesn't it? For a '78 (guessing the EMGs were a later add-on, so also a modded) Paul? And if it's priceless, why would he leave it behind in a move, with doors to the house unlocked? Hell, my guitars would be the first thing in transit.I'd guess it had to be kids- they also took a Wii, a charm bracelet and an auto'ed Shaq shoe.He probably has a good chance at getting it back- small town, obvious kid robbery, ect.

As they are being built they get robbed of materials. Then appliances get stolen. Then the first load of household items gets stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I know I'd pay a lot of money to never hear another Bob Seger song. In some ways, yeah. And then again, maybe a few songs would be OK. Maybe not. Thin Lizzy did find a in the Bob Seger catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I know I'd pay a lot of money to never hear another Bob Seger song.LOL!Yeah, you wonder what stars had to align for him to have been so popular. His catalog holds a lot of hits, but to me there's a race to change the channel when I hear any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtone Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It wasn't actually stolen - he just forgot where he left it. Great thing about Alzheimer's is that you get to meet new people every day (that, and you can hide your own Easter eggs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elduave Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm going through a Bob Seger re-awakening these days. Dude brought it way more than I realized as a kid. Had no idea this song was this old, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenjones Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have never liked Bob Seger since I first heard the song "Turn the Page". Back in the early 90's I tried to be a full time musician and did not ever get beyond the "touring in a van and starving" level. Anybody that writes a song where they whine about being a successful musician can kiss my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnieZ Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Seeger was a local act who I actually had the "pleasure" of opening for. I always had a fondness for him as an example of local guys make it! It was certainly not going to happen for me ArnieZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I got burned out on him in the early '90s when I was in Central PA for grad school. The "best" rock radio station pretty much overplayed "the Four Bs", as I called them: Boston, Bon Jovi, Bad Company and Bob Seeger. I'm pretty sure that they had to play at least three of the four, EVERY SINGLE HOUR. My god I was glad when Nirvana hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundernotes Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Not a huge Seger fan, but he did have some good tunes which didn't get overplayed.Now Nirvana........ there's some hackery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singer/2nd guitar player in one band I played insisted on covering the massively over-played "hits" of Seger, Tragically Hip, April Wine and Collective Soul so much, I had to move on. It was very liberating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elduave Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 As a kid, I used to hate that damn sax in Turn The Page. It scared/made me feel oogie.Ironically, I taught that song this week. Great lesson song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serial Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have a list of three songs that I detest so thoroughly that I will quit a successful band before playing one. One was "Mustang Sally". A$$hole guitar player insisted on dragging it out (I'd warned him). I walked off to get a beer and the song was played bass-less. I quit the next day, true to my word.Second is "Margaritaville", although I got tossed that one unexpectedly by the other guy in my acoustic duo during a high paying corporate gig, so I sucked it up. I suppose I don't so much hate the song as I do the Parrotheads.Third and most disgusting is "Old Time Rock & Roll". People still ask for that song a 1/2 dozen times a year and it makes me wonder how stupid people really are that they've been brainwashed into actually thinking that song has any redeeming qualities.That song is like Davd Matthews Band's 1st album, Carlos Santana or Nickelback. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elduave Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Too obtuse, I guess. Sammy's shows have a more than palpable Parrothead vibe these days.I'm actually looking forward to experiencing it (via Sammy, not Jimmy) some day.That said, I'd probably have a fine time at a Buffet show.
