  1. Are we renaming this to the Guitar pron and mariachi drip thread?
  2. 2 questions First, Osha and Mae were so unlikeable. Audience investment into a character has to be earned. Did they even try to make her/them likeable? Second - this was one of the most expensive shows Disney has ever made. Where did the money go? There weren't any big stars eating up pay. It wasn't the sets. The effects look bad. Stunts maybe. There was a lot of wire work but that's cheap.
  3. That bitch needs to be put away for a long long time. How, I mean how, did she manage to miss the mother but still manage to shoot the baby?
  4. A singer who I think is very unique, had a beautiful voice is the late Sandy Denny. She sang with Led Zeppelin in the Battle of Evermore.
  5. There have been a lot of songs about underaged girls, way too many. I remember hearing a comedy bit about it. Can't remember who the comic was.
  6. Live performance of Harper Lewis by Russian Circles. The band gets a really nice groove going, and some nice playing by the drummer.
  7. I just back from seeing the movie Twisters. There's a scene when the main character is walking past some guys playing acoustic guitars and the song is "Wall of Death" by the great Richard Thompson. I never thought I would hear such an obscure song in a big budget blockbuster. I wouldn't say this is better than the original, but it's a damn good version.

    Twisters

    Just got back. That was great. Glenn Powell has a ton of charisma. Daisy Jones has a ton of charisma. There's no hipster sarcasm or cringe marvel-type of humor. It's an earnest movie with straightforward storytelling, which was a relief. The effects are great, the cinematography is great, and the story works. Highly recommended.
  9. Damn, I think I threw all mine away, including the flexible records included in them. First time I heard Cliffs of Dover was from a Guitar Player flexi-disc.
  10. When I was a teenager, I bought guitar magazines all the time. There were always these ads with these players I'd never heard of. These were the days before YouTube and streaming, and there was no way broke me going to spend money on a record by some random musician I'd only seen in ads. I always wondered about this guy Ray Gomez. What was it about him that merited being featured in an ad. Well I just remembered all these years later and I just now looked him up on YouTube for the first time. Damn. The guy can play. No wonder he was featured in an ad. And he looks like Austin Powers. Yeah baby.
  11. Mike has some god-tier riffs. Love his playing. You probably know this, but I guarantee nobody else on this board knows this - Spiritbox was up for grammy in heavy metal. However, they were up against some serious dinosaurs like Metallica & Disturbed. Obviously Metallica won because they're the only metal band that the Grammy voters had ever heard of. The actual Metallica song that won was terrible, one of the worst of their career. The Grammy is like a lifetime achievement award I guess.
  12. That was awesome. I miss old school blockbusters
  13. Agree to disagree
  14. Omg - rewatching Twister - this movie is so fucking good. It FEELS like a blockbuster
  15. I'm starting to think the best Netflix & couch with the wife guitar ergonomically is a headless guitar. Something light and can go on either leg.
  16. My wife just told me she's never seen Twister. I'm making her watch it right now.
  17. Do you like Van Halen , Van Hagar, and Van Cherone equally?
  18. I know nothing about any of this. I didn't even know Doherty had a reputation for being difficult. But this just popped up on my Twitter feed today. It seems like Alyssa Milano was the difficult one on their show. It's telling that the other two actresses stand by Doherty.
  19. Some young'uns playing some retro rock and it's not bad
  20. Sure she's cute but do you have what it takes? She may be wearing heels but hayden christensen is 6 feet tall.
  21. Yes you are
