  1. Well, hello there. Team anything but Fender's prehistoric trem system. I don't even like looking at the bent or stamped steel saddles the base model comes with. At least give me the Deluxe saddles to church up the trem system I will never use.
  2. Word. Well, I have no idea who those dudes are, but Iknowwhatyoumean.
  3. Aw man, it didn't even get going yet! As a technical manifesto (it was for a lecture at Musicians Institute), that version of Purple Rain covers just about everything humans have accomplished on guitar up to that point. State of the art kinda stuff. I'm not a big Petrucci fan, can't listen to Dream Theater for too long before I get fatigued, but I appreciate what that dude is able to do with his fingers. I could watch it just for that, damn the music. He has a Charlie Parker level of precision and accuracy. I know perfection often feels antiseptic and too clean, like a hospital, and this reaches those levels at times, but man, that version of Purple Rain belongs on the Voyager so aliens know not to fuck with us. And Jimmy, that tone seemed to perfectly pay homage given the context of the song. Did it need more chorus? lewl But a context-be-damned cover can be pretty fun too: TLDR: I will pay real money if anyone can find me tabs of Petrucci's Purple Rain.
  4. If you're down with The Floyd, and it appears you are, check out Roger Waters The Wall (2014) to stretch the legs on your home theater. It contains, dare I say, my favorite version of Comfortably Numb and Gilmour isn't even on the track! I know, I know, I'm not happy with myself either. But if you want a concert of kick ass music recorded with 5.1 in mind, it's the shit. Crank it!
  5. He crushed it. Also, Petrucci's Purple Rain (in case it hasn't already been discussed ad nauseam. I forget which boards did what.). Edit: Aqui
  6. This thread should have a Frog Leap exemption because Leo's stuff is like 9 times out of 10 better than the original. Otherwise would just be pages and pages of his covers.
  7. Nah, just giving you a hard time on that Purple Rain, which neuters the bejeezus out of it. Dwight kills Suspicious Minds, everything else is just good fun.
  8. Are you fucking with us?
  9. It wasn't until this thread that I found out that rock songs even have lyrics.
  10. The highlight of my Paris trip was visiting Pere Lachaise cemetery. So many illuminaries are buried there - Chopin, Rossinni, Gericault, Oscar Wilde, De Balzac, etc. - But you can easily find Morrison because the biggest crowd will be gathered around his grave. Biggest by a long shot.
  11. Used C-class is the official car of the everyman.
  12. Bird by Clint Eastwood is a good watch, too.
  13. If I could visit anywhere in time under any circumstance, second on my list of destinations is 1940s Harlem and New York. I would just lazily walk from club to club taking in the greats as easy as sitting down at a table. There is no way that just being alive then and there wouldn't fill you with an electricity. Would love to visit if for just a little bit.
  14. Hell and yes. In.

    Someone needs to find a video of Bonham doing Four Sticks.

    It's a great book from a unique perspective. Enjoy!

    They are not as good as LZ. So what now? Is there room in your heart for a band that's not as good as LZ or nah?
  18. I'm normally the MVP of my Trivial Pursuit teams (I have sports knowledge. Nerds rarely have sports knowledge.). I'm probably a genius, I don't know. But, this app eats my lunch. I go 3 and out vs number 1 contributor at something like a 20 to 1 clip. Fun though.

    I linked that video because Deej was depressed about the state of music kids are putting out. Just trying to show a possibly suicidal brother that there is still a spark and the world might yet be worth saving. But, yeah, you should definately temper your appreciation for this little bit of rock because they aren't The Zep, a group composed of 4 of the greatest musicians on their respective instruments and/or mixing desk. Also, ditto on Chris Stapleton. Obviously. Perro, por que no los dos?
  20. Get that shit.

  22. Full disclosure, I posted that pic from my phone. Seeing now all blown up and shit on my computer screen, things that once were fit are not as clear cut. Still Team Thomas, though. So you can put that fear to rest.
  23. Team Thomas, and she's held up CONSIDERABLY better. But, yeah, we all win.
  24. I don't even have to click: Epiphone and DSL40C.
