  1. Mercury is the A1 standard for rock front men imo. In the group that despite technical deficiencies should be considered for inclusion in an all-time super group is Roth. Morrison is in that same subset.
  2. Boss DS-1 Appreciation Club, holla!
  3. Same. Also, Time Machine is an underrated disc(s).
  4. Before the conversation moves away from Bonamassa, the greatest living guitarist of this or any generation, check out this video of straight unadulterated pr0n: http://youtu.be/ctx86V-GI8A Those tweeds tho. Also, Tapa can kiss my ass.
  5. Sounds like your crew needs to be introduced to Mr. Marshall.
  6. How's that Edwards working out for you?
  7. He absolutely has to self promote.
  8. Did you see the DSL40C Vintage there? I might pick that up tomorrow.
  9. The player piano thing is spot on for me. He doesn't have the soul that I appreciate in most of the slingers I really get into, but I really dig his technicality and that's enough for me to enjoy the few jaunts I've taken into his studio albums. I don't find EJ soulful, but his precision captivates me. Petrucci too, only less so. Bonamassa is the type of gear nerd and historian that I hope gets enough support to keep the fire alive. It's a service to us all. He appears to get that support. His live shows, however, look like guitar worship - I can get behind that.
  10. The Shhh with the Hook'em works for me.
  11. As it should be. That little dude is a gift to Longhorns the world over.
  12. That sequence had a very prequels uselessness vibe to it.
  13. It comes with Meet and Greet access, too. You can talk to him and try to nail down his complicated relationship with pedals. Lewl. Speaking of, anyone want to go check out either his Sugar Land or Austin show next month? Gear junkies should support gear junkies.
  14. I agree. Reading more about it, it might be the one amp to rule them all. It's basically everything Fender knows about making amps covered in a beautifully aged wrapper. At this point Fender's Custom Shop are the preeminent relic artists, absolute witches with that stuff, and by the looks of this amp they've brought that expertise to the amp side. I hope Marshall jumps on board because it's the only thing some of their reissues are missing. A relic'd KT66 based amp would be bonerjams.
  15. We made it 113 posts before someone brought up Avatar in a discussion about great movies on a public forum. That gives me a glimmer of hope for the future.

    One X

    You have a lot to choose from. Check out the "Enhanced for One X" section in the store.
  17. Who wore it better? Layne Staley wore it better.
  18. Not guitar pr0n, but had to share. Here's a Cuban guitarist hearing SRV for the first time.
  19. Wreck-it Raph lookin motherfucker.
  20. If you haven't already and you're a fan of the band, check out the book Runnin' With The Devil: A Backstage Pass to the Wild Times, Loud Rock, and the Down and Dirty Truth Behind the Making of Van Halen by then manager Noel Monk. Highly recommended.
  21. That's a strong point, of course. But I will check out of this threadjack by saying that I think photostatic copies of important pieces of art or photographs engender the same emotional reactions as their original handpainted counterparts. It's the art that matters.
  22. Hagar Van Halen never had the swagger as Roth Van Halen. With Hagar they were a good rock band. With Roth they were dangerous. And musically, for entertainment AND import, nothing in the catalog compares to I, II, and 1984. Nothing.
  23. What about a 2018 model 60s era reissue amp with period correct grille cloth and offset nameplate? Does it feel fake as well? Is that too different a scenario? (I'm open to the idea that's it's too different.) It's going to perform as a 2018 amp but LOOK like a cold war battlehorse...
