  1. Yeah, definitely - I enjoy when my son (21 yo) shows me stuff his friends are either playing in their bands or listening to. Some of the stuff I loved in the 90's is influencing the musical youth at least, even if you'd think from the media the only band is Taylor Pink or whatever that is.
  2. Something for everyone - often in the same song! Talented, interesting and prolific. If rock mattered in the world anymore these guys would be doing very nicely I reckon.
  3. Correct Answer!!! That they entered the store qualifies them - all the rest (including age, hair colour, perceived motive for visit and/or available cash based on same, and all other prejudices) are just red herrings. Go directly to cashier for $15 an hour. Do not pass Gibson Lounge.
  4. at GC advanced level training course: "OK now, so an obese, grey-haired, cross-dressed, boomer woman of colour walks in the door, ....how do we assess? Any ideas?"
  5. Will we be taxed on this? Will there be a Slash commemorative model??
  6. No thanks. I'm kind of surprised if they've sold 50 of them in total in their history. ...then again, what could possibly go wrong? - well, jump ahead to 28 minutes in to see the answer....
  7. You'd rather see him in leisurewear or a natty sports jacket? ...be like Lemmy wearing golfing attire Yeah, it was great then and probably had an influence on guitar playing style for the (awesome) early 90's too. ...and, whilst I never really liked his band's stuff, I'd say the same to some extent for Mick Mars - though he was somewhat invisible among his bandmates.
  8. Thanks for giving it up! - I have found that intellectual mastery is one thing and 'typing-brain' seems to be quite another...regularly I re-read my posts, and only then notice they're/their or bear/bare etc ...not through lack of mastery of language, but though some 'autopilot' part of the brain that seems to infect typing Local vernacular may also play a role - for example, you say "...someone who scored a 96% on their...", whereas where I live we would more likely say "...someone who scored 96% on their..." so, giving it up may indeed provide sanity protection
  9. Hi Mike - you'll get as many different answers as you get replies, so mine is entirely personal... I'd sell all except the V, pick up a Mexican Strat or Tele so you have something inexpensive and different to amuse yourself with other styles of sound (or for when a friend drops by and wants to play), make your wife happy in the process and explain that you may still want another guitar in the future but are not jumping in until the right one comes along (such prudence and maturity!!)... Then when the magic "one" does come along you can buy it without any mental (or marital) gymnastics. 'swat I'd do.
  10. you realise you've been on the Gibson Lounge (a term which I now assume has creepy psychiatrist undertones) so long that when you started Rabs was in his thirties!!! (feck, that's a fifth of my life ago...)
  11. see! this is what I'm talking about....🤘
  12. A Telecaster is the only guitar that tempts me in recent years...this thread and its pictures isn't helping at all !!
  13. Great to hear!...as were Dino Jr
  14. Nice one Saturn - yeah, I spose its time to get 2024 kicked off....last Friday night pub gig. It was ok - not great, not bad. The 2 opening acts were cool and interesting but not particularly high energy...I prefer to come on after some high energy (or even before some) just to get the blood flowing and the crowd up, but hey, our peers would have been home watching some cr@p on tv or checking their finances or whatever they do rather than this, so its all good eh!
