Sgt. Pepper

Did you verify the serial number is indeed a Slash model? If so and they are mailing you the correct one. Gibson is not the greatest at QA, record keeping and so on.

Here is the thing, who in the Rolling Stones organization doesn't want them to do this? The answer is no one. One, there is money to be made off of it no matter how awful or great its some will buy it. And two, it will also lead to one more tour of the world, and that is now where the real money is. Tickets, merch, ect ect. Like I have said before The Stones announce tomorrow they want to do a week at Madison Square Garden. They will sell out every show just on their name alone. I was watching a rock documentary this weekend, and it was the producer or engineer that worked on the Dirty Work album. He made me laugh when he said it was the worst Rolling Stones album to date. Until they made the next one.

I'm not really sure how someone would ever be qualified to be a music critic. We all like music and we all like different bands. If you don't like the band how are you going to fairly critique it? Now if its some band you never heard one note from and know nothing about. Here's my review of any Radiohead album. IT SUCKS.

Yep we all got opinions on everything from the taste of a hot dog to the latest Rolling Stones album. It gave someone a job. Back in the day there was word of mouth and reviews in magazines. Today I can sample anything at anytime of the day. There is no way I could review stuff I know I’m gonna dislike. Say I worked for a music magazine and it was my job to review a Rap album. I hate that so called music and would not be the right person to review it but you might be. Now ask me to honestly review a Zappa album and I am the right person.

All I get are emails from tranny hookers on meth. At least you got one from a prince.

Do A’s get taken away after relic-ing?

Anyone gonna buy this when it’s out, and post a review in Steve’s new thread. I will not.

Shinny.

One man’s AAA is another man’s 0000. You like the top or you don’t. Pay more for it if you need to.

I learned to make my own dough. It took a while to get it right. But once I did, I’d rather eat pizza I make than pay for it.

Ok review #1. Just recently bought 5 clamshell box sets of a forgotten about band called Renaissance. I got Turn Of The Cards 3CDs/1 DVD, Songs Of The Scheherazade And Other Stories 3CDs/1 DVD, Live At Carnegie Hall 2 CDs, Novella 3 CDs, and A Song For All Seasons 3 CDs. Every one has a full live concert included of that albums tour. All are on the Esoteric label and really well done. The ones with DVDs are in 5.1 SS and also have a high resolution mix of the original album. Annie Haslam is an amazing singer and has a 5 octave range. The music is Prog mixed in the elements of symphonic music. You will either love them or hate them. I got introduced to them in ‘79 and it took me a while to get them. Novella in my opinion is the weakest of all those albums, but still no that bad. A few of the concerts have full orchestras backing them up. Turn Of The Cards was $33 on Amazon, and I would start there if you are going to buy one. It’s a fan favorite, and probably mine too. I have it on vinyl too. Each album has extra songs as many reissues today have. If you never heard them and like Prog you will probably dig them. Annie had one solo album she did that I need to get. I just listened to the Carnegie Hall one this week.

Sure but try going to a Roger Water or D-ouche Springsteen concert. It’s basically a political rally and some music is played. Protest songs stopped being written in the early 70’s. Bob even gave up on them and I’m sure he hated being labeled the protest song guy.

I look at the work they do. If they act like turds in public, and through tantrums cause their big stars it just makes it easier to dislike them. I want musicians to do their job. Not campaign for politicians. Leave your religion, sex, gender and politics at home. Your musicians, so okay play live and record music. That’s your job.

I don’t think my view on what I like are gonna change anyone’s opinion. If someone already likes Taylor Swift my honest opinion won’t sway them one bit.

He had an amazing collection. RIP

One is probably tone and the other is volume I would think. If you adjust them and then do nothing, why are they there.

All you need is All Things. He shot his load on that. Please tell me your not gonna get Cloud Nine. I have All Things, Material World, Bangladesh, 33 1/3, Dark Horse, and the self titled on vinyl. I received Gov’t Mule - Dark Side Of The Mule on glow in the dark vinyl the other day. Wow they killed those Floyd songs. By the way which ones the mule?

Like what do you want on it? Secret compartments for picks? Its an electric guitar. It has 4 knobs, a pickguard, tuners, dot inlays, bridge, stop tail, nut, body, neck, headstock, a TRC, two pickups, a control cavity cover, and a switch. Does an SG or LP have something this guitar doesn't? They may have fancier inlays, binding on the neck or body but that it. This is the same as the other blue one, just red now.

I just looked at both and Coma was good too. That is all I can remember liking. The two cover tunes are just that cover tunes. I actually never heard the first one all the way through until around 2003. I heard them so much on the radio. I was shooting pool at my friends house and he put it in. I never want to hear Jungle or Paradise City ever in my life. Sweet Child the intro is still cool, then Axl opens his yap. Does he still do the snake dance? I almost wet my pants watching this when it was origianllly on.

Can't you just buy a push pull switch/pot to make it go out of phase. $25 bucks verses $250? Just a thought. Its gonna be out of phase anyway.

I put in a few of Lindy's pup in guitars I had. Top shelf stuff. I've even called them and talked to him on the phone.

Like The Stones Exile On Main St., Use Your Illusion should have been one album not 2 single albums. So much filler IMHO. Civil War was a killer tune. Get In The Ring was silly, stupid diatribe about Bob Guccioni Jr. Dead Horse was good to. The sappy big hit power ballad was lame. Hey look its Slash in the middle of nowhere, playing a guitar solo outside a church.

If you can solder its easy. I used to rip out stock pups a week after I got a guitar, except on my B B King.

I'll let you buy it and tell me how good it isn't. Did you buy the last 6 or 7 garbage albums they put out? I stopped at Tattoo You. Which is marginal. Undercover, A Bigger Bang, Bridges To Babylon, Dirty Work, Voodoo Lounge, Steel Wheels, good lord the silliness. And The very last one Blue And Lonesome the blues cover album, As Colonel Kurtz say in Apocalypse Now "The Horror". In the 60's The Beatles led and everyone else followed. The Beach Boys pretty much ruled the music scene till The Beatles came along, But 10 albums of nothing but cars, girl and surfing (which only Dennis did) was getting old. What they (The Beatles) did everyone tried to do six months after they heard the newest album. Its just how it was. The Stones did it too. Oh The Beatles did a crazy psychedelic album, well we should take a lot of LSD and do that too, but they couldn't. They were a blues cover band. The best thing that band had was Brian , who was a mess when they sacked him.

It’s been in the high 80’s to low 90’s all summer here in Little River, SC. Plus we got more moronic Trumpers in golf carts than Florida. Love it here. And no legal weed. F this place.
