  1. He wasn't born into it. Comes from a middle class upbringing. His dad owned a neighborhood music store. The guy busted his *** for years to be as successful as he is. He learned the music business and markets his music, concerts and swag himself. He also supports other artist with his Keeping The Blues Alive foundation. He's a guitar/amp geek like most of us, just on a larger scale.
  2. Well Guns is a bit one sided in its presentation. That grade A super A-hole paid his entire band throughout the entire Covid no concerts allowed shut down.
  3. It's the last album that they were all at the top of their collective game. All four were into it and working as a unit. Just listen to anything else released around the same time and you realize they were so far ahead of the pack.
  4. I distinctly remember People Magazine with them on the cover with the question…. Will they reunite for 50 million
  5. When I was a teenager in the 70s I would have given anything for a Beatles reunion. Now in my 60s I cherish the music they made in that short 7 year span and really glad they didn’t continue. It was basically 2 years from She Loves You to Tomorrow Never Knows. Simply amazing.
  6. I’m heading to Tennessee in a few weeks to visit family and was wondering if the Nashville Gibson factory still has tours? Figure if I’m that close……..
  7. The Penny Lane version with the trumpet coda was the British single release. It was included on an album called Beatles Rarities.
  8. Aside from the Get Back Sessions, which took place in Twickenham film studio and in the Apple records basement (so no EMI studio time was wasted). The Beatles were surprisingly efficient in studio through Pepper. Of course they had to be with the touring and movie schedules. If i remember correctly they had a month to write and record all the tunes for Rubber Soul plus a new single for the Christmas sales season.
  9. Sure enough! The concert business will live and die on the interest of long time fans and their disposable income. I've seen just about everyone on my bucket list. Many like Macca, Beach Boys, Joel, Clapton, Elton, Chicago, multiple times. At 62 years I've no interest in spending my entertainment dollars to see them live again. That being said i don't have any issues with a legendary performer's ticket prices or the people that are eager to pay it. Thankful that Bruuuuuuuuce's great great great great great grandkids will never have to worry about holes in the Jordans.
  10. Not for the Get Back Let It Be sessions. The first half at Twickenham Studios was already rented for a Ringo /Peter Sellers movie. The Beatles were given free use until production commenced. The second half was in the basement of there Apple office. However they did rent some equipment from EMI as well as borrowing some of Harrison's home studio equipment.
  11. Beautiful AXE! I've owned a couple SGs including one just like yours (because of the GH connection) but just never fell in love with it. Unfortunately sold them when something else caught my eye. Congratulations man, now go rock some Hey Bulldog!
