  1. I know I saw Macca a few years back and Blackbird musically was great but Pauls voice was not there. He can still do the rockers. but on ballads its not that great. I'm real about stuff. I just don't salivate over everything my idols do. If its cr@p I will say so. Like almost every song the lads let Ringo sing. It was un-nessesary when you had a singer like Paul in the group who can almost do it al by himself. Like I said I'm and electrician and if I came to your house to do work and it was substandard I would expect you to say as much. Same for music. Doesn't matter who he is, if its not good, its not good. Sorry bout that. What was his last good album? For me Blood On The Tracks. After that meeh.
  2. Yep you are absolutely right. Obviously your not a golfer.
  3. If you have read my posts don't hate him and have seen him live 3 times. I said his voice is blown and can't sing anymore. If you like his current vocal stylings good on ya. He is a pro and his bands are always tight. I'm sorry you elders refuse to admit his voice is not what it once was. Yes he still tours cause he must still enjoy it and makes records cause he is a musician and that is what they do. I'm an electrician. I don't weld cause it's not what I get paid to do and second I don't know how to do it.
  4. Get Zoot Allures stitched on it instead of Steve.
  5. I've never heard Love. I know people say they did a real good job with it. I listened to The White Album about 50 times last year, Pepper about 30 and Road about 15. If you haven't heard the 50th anniversary editions, I think they are fantastic and don't listen to the original mixes of those 3 much since the new ones give me a b0ner.
  6. I just have few baseball hats I wear now and again. Nothing cool or interesting. Mostly the NFL, NHL, college, and other teams I like. I did get a bad@ss pair of cowboy boots when I was in Austin several years ago. Classic black with cool stitching made by I believe the Heritage boot company.
  7. Saw him when he toured with the Grateful Dead and once in '07 or '08 and when he did the Minor League stadium tour with Wille and Mellencamp. When we saw him at Bull Durham park my wife asked me what the hell is he saying? I replied I think he is introducing the band. I wont see him ever again.
  8. I think I got Abbey Road, Pepper then Let It Be after that I can't remember. Stoney druggy Beatles are my favorite. Solo stuff is cool but they needed each other to push each other and try to one up each other on the next song.
  9. WTF is he saying? I know the song well. Mumble mumble, a word I understand, mumble. I love Bob I really do but he really can't sing anymore. I'm sorry if you think he can.
  10. In the 60s and 70s you understand him but not now.
  11. Pepper is hard to deny. There is nothing like it. It wasn't what normal rock or pop or whatever the flavor or the day was. They were doing it then The Stones tried to emulate it 2 months later. I had Let It Be on 8 Track. Love all their stuff but Rubber Soul and beyond is the changing of the guard for them. The stars alined for them. They had it all, a great producer, world class studio, two of the best song writters on the planet ect.
  12. Really? Fantastic eh? I'm not buying it. Love Bob have tons of his stuff, but nope. You cant tell what the hell he's singing at all.
  13. Lets's have some fun. And answer up. Say why or not, or you can say you are not a fan. I'm a big boy and can take it if you don't. I an a huge The Beatles fan aka The White Album. It has so much on it and has blistering rock to silly stuff to what John referred to as Pauls granny music to avant garde (although I hate Rev #9). No.9 is the only thing I would change about the album. Hey Jude (not a fan of that song either) and Lady Madonna were recorded at the same time and if on would have made IMHO the album better. In my younger days Pepper was my #1. Love all the 50th Anniversary remix's. They are really well...fab.
  14. Man some people getting some sweet 335's for Xmas.
  15. Take it to Pawn Stars in Vegas see what they will give you for it, walk out and double it.
  16. I loved The Rutles mocumentory. All the stars in it. Ron Wood, George, Belushi, Gilda, Bill F-ing Murray , Eric Idol ect. I think Neil was in the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. He was in The Holy Grail. Piggy In The Middle, Yellow Submarine Sandwich, Ouch! and it just keeps going.
  17. Sadly his voice is past shot. Seen him a few times and if I did not know what song it was I would have no clue what he was singing.
  18. I put stickers on everything especially cases, but never ever on a guitar. Amps sure, my car window, yep. But if its painted , nope, or finished no way.
  19. At least in '77 it was not the cash grab joke Dead that recently went around. The Grateful Dead, if you like them when they had a good night were like no other band on the planet.
  20. Live at Daryl's House is a killer show. I loved the one with Cheap Trick and they did You Burn Me Up I'm a Cigarette from Fripp's Exposure LP.
  21. A 335 is the one. I would take those over a LP or SG any day of the week. Nothing it can't do. Once you get over how big they are every thing else comes in second place.
