  1. Eh, I'm not so sure about that. I'm a late Gen X, and the Foo Fighters are still just the new band the drummer from Nirvana started to me. I do agree with the notion that a lot the perception comes down to timing, especially when talking about one's formative years of teendom and early adulthood. I will also allow a lot of my musical opinions where possibly baked earlier than most, in elementary and junior high.
  2. How does this thread have 42 replies
  3. There's no denying he was a serious talent. Rock solid. Also played the solo on Eat It, the zenith of his career imo.
  4. Dude, you guys sound great!
  5. He peaked when he played with Weird Al
  6. Related to this, if anyone wants a Burstbucker 1 pickup, let me know.
  7. So I'm not sure if I posted before about the PAF my old man has had since '72. It came out of an old parts bin at a local music shop here the same time he got the Melody Maker husk I have, during an era when PAFs went bad they were thrown away. So anyways sat in his junk drawer for about 50 years until a couple years ago he gave it to me in hopes someone in the family would eventually fix the fucking thing. I took it to my guy a few months back to diagnose and repair, and in the course of going through parts he had on hand, we just discovered today that one if his old Patent # pickups was essentially identical to my PAF. My initial plan was to put the PAF in the neck, and switch the bridge magnet out with a vintage Patent # one, but since we found that the Patent # is an early which are functionally identical to PAFs, we put both in together. Playing this through the Tremolux, wow, I'm stunned with the sound.
  8. Lowkey best Tele year, 1988. But you have all the usual suspects, 54 Blackguard, late 60's maple cap, etc..
  9. Yeah, it's going to be great. Ziff has been collecting these things since '87. Apparently at one point he had almost 300 bursts!! When I bought my Super Dragon amp I got to speak to Perry Margouleff a bit (he was coordinating the sales), and I got the feeling that this collection had been his biggest work. Good dude btw.
  10. Man it's been that way for years. The CR hasn't got shit on the football board.
  11. Godspeed
  12. I expect much Zep to be played
  13. I named 4 because I knew I'd forget someone, and indeed I forgot Patsy Cline.
  14. I mean, that's all fair and I'm not trying to dissuade you from what you like, it's all subjective. My only point is that it's objective that all the things you like about the Stones never would have existed if Brian hadn't been there in the first place. I agree with you on the last bit btw, it had run it's course and there was no coming back. I will say you are definitely in the minority on Under My Thumb though, almost everyone involved has admitted the song wouldn't have even come out if it wasn't for Brian's addition. Also weaving with Keith came from him btw. Somewhat of a tangent, but my honest belief is when people say they enjoy the 4 album run, they are really saying they like Jimmy Miller. Because Beggar's and Let it Bleed are much more like Aftermath and Sticky Fingers and Exile are more like what followed. I really had an epiphany when I read the All the Songs book I mentioned earlier when as I said it dawned on me that all of my very top Stones songs predated Mick Taylor, and what I realized is the Stones really lost their edge by the time Sticky Fingers came out. And I don't attribute this to not having Brian Jones fwiw. It's just understandable they had reached a level of comfort at that point, their relationship with straight society was totally inverted and you feel it in their music. The earlier stuff through Let it Bleed was just so much harder. Paint It Black, Mother's Little Helper, Jumping Jack Flash, Sympathy, are all just straight up evil ass songs. And a big reason Some Girls was a return to form is they actually recaptured some of that edge with all the tumult going on.
  15. Well I would say my other voices would be Chris Stapleton, Charlie Rich and Vern Godsin. Not necessarily my favorite artists other than Stapleton, but voices.
  16. A good read at the intersection of Rolling Stones fans and recording nerds is the All the Songs book. I first stumbled on to this series with the Pink Floyd one, but the one for the Stones is super long obviously. Has every location, player and instrument for every song, as best as could be tracked down. Pretty fun to check out https://www.amazon.com/Rolling-Stones-All-Songs-Behind/dp/0316317748
  17. No Don Williams yet?
  18. He was, and I think the situation exacerbated that. I just think that joining the Foo Fighters would be profoundly damaging to that kid, and I'll leave it at that.
  19. That's the least of my concern. It's the negative impact on his life. Look what it did to his dad. He totally should be a drummer if he wants, just not in the Foo Fighters. Jason and Zak are prime examples how to go about it, wonderful careers in great bands.
  20. I would 100% not wish that upon him whatsoever.

    Led Zeppelin

    Look at who you are responding to.
  22. I thought he retired.
  23. No such thing.
