I've probably spent more at Adorama on photo and guitar stuff over the years than what I actually clear after expenses and taxes and bullshit, like food and clothing.
The camera side of that place is my Achilles. But, I have a bitchin Canon 400mm 2.8….

Back in Black is great because Bon wrote at least half of it. Brian did a great job with that album, but that's the only way he can sing. All the wittiness and originality in the writing died on 2/19/80.
When criticized during an interview that their entire catalog was built off of a single riff. Malcolm Young's response was, “Yeah, but it is a great fucking riff”..
I’m to lazy to verify that interview, because I want it to be true…

What the fuck just happened….

I’m an old guy. It has been my experience that one never really gets over shit like this. You just somehow learn to live with it.

you have zero to apologies for, my man. i’m grateful for your inquiries, in fact.
a bit more…i had a total shoulder arthroscopy (shoulder replacement surgery) this morning. and i’m trying to do my recovery opiate free…prior to surgery i met with my ortho and an anesthesiologist and came up with a plan that includes a nerve block that hopefully will last three days (so far, so good), and a cocktail gabapentine, 800 mg Motrin and robaxin. if i e per break through pain, i’ll head to my PCP or ER a shot of Dilaudid to hopefully get back on top of.
But right this very second even though i'm numbed up and immobile in this sling, i can feel it. and it’s only going to worse.
i don’t know is this going to work.
my options are very limited on what i can do we’re that situation arise.
Keep the faith brother. Fuck being held hostage to the demon..

Fucking cut is pissing me off. It’s right on the top edge of the thumb. I constantly hit the strings with that edge behind the pick. If this superglue doesn’t work I’m going to bleed all over everything.
It’s also somewhat tricky to make sure the super glue gets on none of the other fingers.
PitfaI say go with the blood. Use a white guitar. If nothing else you’ll get the freaky chicks….

Very cool. Master picker Matt Thomas loves those. And they really source some interesting tone woods from what I have read. I would like to try one..

Anyone ever buy or purchase something off reverb from a over seas seller?
I never even considered it.

One of my first "good" guitars, probably my first USA guitar, was a Les Paul Studio that was dirty and beat to hell when I found it in a pawn shop. I was black and had a Brunswick bowling ball rode hard and put away wet look. I think I gave $160 for it, I polished the finish, cleaned up pretty decent, much better than I expected. I had to replace a couple of bridge saddles on it and I think a set of knobs. The saddles were a gold ones I got out of the odds and ends parts bucket at HOT Music in Temple. Ended up selling it years later for $400 or $450 after I got a nicer Les Paul. It's one of the few I have sold, and I kind of regret. It had it's own "patina" going for it, and the gold tooth display which I dug. The guy who bought on consignment it was a douchebag, otherwise I wouldn't have minded somebody cool owning it.
I hate thinking about the one that got away.

As far as I know, BFG has one '59 flame top and he's used it on all their records, Pearly Gates. I think those are the re-issues in the photo.
While we're on the Reverend, anybody else find it surprizing how fast they've moved on without Dusty? Their guitar tech had already spent a year growing his beard out when Dusty passed. I'm semi-interested in seeing the new lineup if they pass through near me, but the other part of me is not interested at all. Dusty Hill was a top notch entertainer, a big part of their show.
https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/billy-gibbons-tell-the-story-behind-his-1959-les-paul-pearly-gatesI heard Roseanne Cash talk about her dad after she won a Grammy. She said he was happy for her, but deep down inside she could see the pain of his realization that he had aged. And he was no longer the man in black.
She said that after spending his entire life building Johnny Cash, letting go of it was impossible.
there is probably a little of that in Billy.

I'm inclined to agree. I doubt the beard origion story as well. All of people don't realize that BGG was a visual arts student from long before he formed that band. Their image is extremely crafted.I agree.

I meant are the guitars in the picture with the Reverend originals or his reissues?
All originals. I’ll dig the other photograph up.

For the record I never believed his story on the acquisition of Pearly. I do think he enjoys telling it however.

His role as redneck at large “Briar Gates” in Next of Kin always entertained me.
I can suspend belief long enough to enjoy pretty much any movie. But, damn, Liam as a southern boy, well that really tested my imagination.

On your behalf I messaged Terry Manning, one of the engineers on Fandango. I don't know him in real life but we communicate from time to time. I'm pretty sure he only worked on the studio cuts off that album, because the Record Plant truck gets credited, and I don't think he ever worked for The Record Plant. At any rate, for what it's worth, this is what he said:
"AFAIK, it was his Rio Grande amps, which were basically modded Marshalls."
Probably nothing more than what you've already heard. He also threw in this photo:
That really is bad ass
