  1. Waza, Waza everywhere. (A little literary humor because I'm well read as fuck.) Killer setup, man. Do you need to borrow my ruler to line the pedals up? DM me.
  2. David Gilmour is on the Mt. Rushmore of guitar and that dude bends every other note. Jimi, Stevie, Eddie, and Davie.
  3. You're welcome. I don't have the foggiest idea wtf guitar that is, and the backline looks all fucked up too (I see the Dumble, but that's about it.) Doesn't matter. Whatever his hands touch turns to soul stirring blues. Johnny Copeland, Houston's native son, destroys some shit too. EDIT: Ah, Charley. Always thought Charley was just a Strat with a hula girl image, some lipsticks, standard saddles, etc. Nope. Full on custom. This must be before the hula girl.
  4. Sounds like the studio version. Fuckin hell. Team Bend. Actually, more like Team No Rules. I hate rules. And I especially don't like them in my music. Don't have a "no bends" policy. Bend that shit. If it plays, rock on with it. If it doesn't, don't do it again. Unless you play jazz, in which case do it twice more.
  5. Looks like Shirley Manson's daughter.
  6. Does this mean I can overreact now? Asking for a friend.
  7. Yep.
  8. Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the pooch.
  9. Queue @MojoHand?
  10. Gonna have that stuck in my head all weekend. Thanks.
  11. I meant to address the seeming over estimation of the health of the blues genre (stagnant and moribund) but I might've got lost there at the end. Bruh it was late!
  12. Does that make 2 unaccounted for?
  13. As a commercially viable product, yes. SRV took was done and turned it on its head, revitalizing the genre in the process. Blues was cool again. Blues was mainstream. Blues made its way into Top40 Pop songs. Unheard of things in the decades prior. The closest we had before that was British Invasion type stuff. Blues inspired, but a wholly different genre. SRV was dropping blues licks, straight genuine blues, into radio-friendly Bowie tracks about dancing meant for moms! Just thinking back on the 80s and MTV: I recall interviews and shows with SRV. Don't recall any other blues artist getting ANY stong run, much less exposure like him. He did an Unplugged episode, the only one by a straight bluesman that I can recall. (Did Robert Cray get an Unplugged? I recall his Strong Persuader getting a lot of crossover juice and he might have swung an episode. That was already on the backside of the decade, regardless.) MTV played SRV videos regularly. Did any other blues artist get in the regular rotation? I don't recall any. Crossover chameleons like Clapton got play since, but it wasn't for his blues catalogue. Think about that - Blues was as strong as it's ever been, and the only act to really crack into MTV was SRV and Double Trouble. He was a giant. And the gap between him and number 2 was huge. It hasn't been as cool since. Blues, as a genre, is living in a shadow, trying to recreate a moment in time when a dude from Dallas made everyone care again. Or maybe the argument is SRV never revitalized the blues. All anyone ever cared about was SRV. I can see old school bluesmen taking exception to that...
  14. SRV progressed a stagnant and moribund genre with virtuosity and panache, but gtfo give me the 40s?
  15. It's always funny watching skilled drummers sit in with Metallica. When Jordison played with them about 10 years ago he would drive the set hard. Watching Kirk and James try and keep up is hilarity. Don't care though. It's no Metallica without the bitty Dane.
  16. Just finished Keef's autobiography, Life, and he talks about the moment he met Chuck, one of his idols, as being a real letdown. Says Chuck bigtimed them. Acted like a prick. I wonder if he and Mick are talking about farts in that pic...
  17. Since I don't have a pond, I nominate Tbone's place for the First Annual Surly Jam and Pancake Social.
  18. V2, with the power reduction and the reinforced cabinet, make the amp even more legit. It has cathode biasing, too. You can drop any matched pair into it without biasing the tubes. Pretty slick shit for a $300 tone dragon.
  19. There's always one in every group. I mean two!
  20. I can't tell who's singing. Is that David Allan Coe? Fuck that dude.
  21. Grill pic instead, imo.
  22. North Austin Guitar Center has a v2 Marshall Class5 for $300.
  23. You posted that on Surly. We just assume sarcasm until proven otherwise.
