  1. Dude, I can't recall what turned me onto Beth Hart (might be a Jeff Beck performance?), but that chick is crazy. And talented.
  2. His longest tenured backline consisted of two vintage Silver Jubilees. I mean, come on. There aren't many shows these days where you can show up and the dude on guitar is slinging, on a slow day, half a mil of irreplaceable maple and mahogany. That's just cool to me, regardless of the music. Like, I would pay a reasonable amount of cash to walk into a museum and just look at a '59. If it's going to also make sound, that's just icing. I think I've linked this one before, or maybe one of the reaction videos to it, but if you listen to this and aren't taken by the power, maybe it's not Bonamassa who's without soul. And John Mayer? You're disqualified from a guitar culture conversation where Bonamassa is being categorized as being a blues lawyer with mojo-less tone if your signature guitar is a PRS. GTFOH [#sarcasm] (caveat: John Mayer is a guitar god. One of the last remaining still putting out relevant music. But Mayer/Bonamassa isn't either/or and it should never be..)
  3. No one is currently doing more to promote guitar culture. His shows seem like a guitar lovers' revival.
  4. As someone who's had a morbid fascination with the Tate/LaBianca murders since forever, have even read Helter Skelter twice (highly recommended), this movie was satisfying as fuck. That ending was for the fans. As proof, I submit this pic from my recent trip to San Francisco:
  5. ffs
  6. My, my, my.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ce-1-Ce-1-Chorus-Ensemble-Clone-Mn3002-Pedal-Guitar-Depth-Buffer-Mod-The-Boss/123867866929?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3Dfea6ded0965346eda347bf606370a084%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D303133587998%26itm%3D123867866929%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507
  7. I was just posting because I thought the top comments from an impressive list of obviously more real guitarists were funny. Bonamassa is clearly junk and he could stand to learn a thing or two from us.
  8. I was very close to making the trek out to Pasadena to see him the other month (coincidently, given the current convo about his "playing with an EVH guitar, but does he deserve/have the "heart" to play an EVH guitar lol convo"). I WILL make one of his shows soon. Believe it. If he does something with Beth Hart again, brother, I will absolutely make that happen regardless of trekking distance.
  9. Those top comments tho:
  10. Super cool.
  11. FFS (When the fiddle kicks in is one of those... moments.)
  12. If you're ever in need of something to cleanse the palette.
  13. The guitar pops off the screen.
  14. Solid state in 2019, bruh.
  15. BoomMF

    Pink Floyd

    After much deliberation and restless nights, I've finally settled on a Pink Floyd poster to add to the wall. Crisis averted.
  16. This is everything humans know about cars.
  17. Jazz is my shit ever since I took an appreciation class at UT (where I scored the only 100 I ever got on a paper, because jazz genius). I JUST got back from NYC, visited the Bronx while I was there and ran into these dudes, so this thread hits close to home. Side note, standing at Miles Davis's grave, from that spot you can see the graves of Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Jackie McLean, Lionel Hampton, and Illinois Jacquet. It's like the jazz nexus of the universe!
  18. The minis have been deployed! This game is gorgeous, though.
  19. I might have missed my calling, y'all.
  20. Been catching up on some games. We have a family game night and the kids have been getting into Wingspan, King of New York, Mice & Mystics, RWBY Combat Ready, Dungeon!, and D&D, among others. I picked up some games for the wife and I, like Scythe and all expansions, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective (she's big on the Forensic Files TV show, so this was an easy sell), Star Wars X-Wing, and Dungeon of the Mad Mage Board Game. In all of this I've discovered that I really dig painting the minis that come with these games. It started with the little sides from Mice & Mystics and now I have a dedicated painting corner in her craft room to paint up all kinds of stuff, like the Scythe figures, with my new found powers. (I attached a pic of the first batch.) Any other board game nerds out there? What are you into? Help me discover new ways to feed the beast.
  21. Apropos of the previous conversation:
  22. A momentary lapse of reason. More on the guitars: Because this is still a story to me, that's why.
  23. Just drove by that drive-in theater outside of Tomball and the marquee was Toy Story 4, Secret Life of Pets 2, Men In Black: International, and Aladdin. (Secret Life of Pets, as the only IP originating in this century, is carrying the originality torch, such that it is.) I'm pretty sure Lion King and the next Spider-Man are waiting in the queue.
