  1. Recently found out that his fro was a wig. I was devastated.
  2. Listen to Family Style and tell me Stevie wasn't deferring to his older brother the entire time. Dude was a treasure of a man.
  3. Stevie did less pretty damn well too. Especially when he was dueting with guitar's elder statesmen, like Albert King, or when he felt he wasn't the feature, like in ensemble jams. Dude would throttle way back. Classiest guy you'll ever come across. But to you greater point, I never felt like Stevie's music was notey or excessive, especially his later work like In Step. That stuff was just straight lean meat, not an ounce of fat. (I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but I've been hitting the bar a bit and that makes my very opinion.)
  4. No kidding.
  5. I think you and Stevie are the only two people with that opinion, and Stevie is RIP.

    Led Zeppelin

    Yeah, the Super Deluxes are quite collectable. I found this one for $60, thanks to the box which is scotch tape repaired. The stuff inside was minty, luckily. I'm not spending the $100+ per to fill out the collection, but if I come across some deals I'll snatch them up with a quickness.
  7. Lots of David Allan Coe stuff in here. Fuck that dude.
  8. Never considered him an elite drummer, but just read his autobiography a few months ago and dude has some great stories. If you dig him, check his book out. It's a cool recounting from a guy who's been at ground zero for some very important and influential moments and bands.

    Led Zeppelin

    This came in today. Led Zeppelin II Super Deluxe Box, with 2 LPs (look unplayed), 2 CDs (unopened), numbered lithograph, and hardbound book. The book is mostly Zep II era pics, which is cool cause who wants to read. Tons of great behind the scenes making of pics, neat things like the receipt for studio time (love this kinda stuff), marketing materials, and tons of concert pics. Great stuff. I need to find Super Deluxes of the rest of the first 4 albums and Houses of the Holy.
  10. Keith Moon is the greatest drummer that I would not want in my band.
  11. So according to the AAS story, the Twitter rant basically proved the coaches right.
  12. Beginning to feel the same general feeling about the Strong era recruits as I was about the late Mack era recruits - Glad to be putting distance between them and the program.
  13. 1. To crush your enemies 2. To see them driven before you 3. To hear the lamentations of their women 4. To have more guitars than you can play
  14. They were both there as of 2 hours ago. Might be very new arrivals.
  15. South Austin Guitar Center has a Princeton RI for $500 and a Princeton Custom for $600. That RI is a killer deal.
  16. Underrated af.
  17. No Mike Mangini? Is it because of the shadow he's playing in? Dude is a stud and a peer to anyone already listed, imo. EDIT TO ADD: lol Just realized the thread is only 4 posts deep am I already calling out an omission. Can we slot this into, say, the 12th post, because you know he wasn't going to be mentioned. Side note, I don't actually know that.
  18. Bernard Purdie AND the dude who lifted his beats. That's my kind of humor. Respect.
  19. I think ANY pop musician is going to be at a significant disadvantage in a comparison like this against masters from other genres less constrained by commercial concerns. Genius needs breathing room. You don't get that with pop. I doubt anyone from pop would really make this list.
  20. No pressure, Mark!
  21. I doubt that matters all that much for purposes of recruiting someone favoring the losing school. A competitor could just as easily think that he could come in and help fix things.
  22. The Tower of Power™ is complete. The Alpha (JTM45) and the Omega (Astoria). The amp that started it all (and still a wonder) and the amps that contain everything Marshall learned in the intervening 60 years. I added a THD Hot Plate to the Twin Reverb, too, because I don't play in a stadium. (The Twin and the Fenders on the right are spaced out a bit more since this photo.) I'm running out of room, fam. the last thing on my list is to move the Super Champ into my son's room, and replace it with a Deluxe of some flavor. Turns out Sweetwater had some Stage 2 Rivera models made of the Custom Deluxe but are currently and indefinitely unavailable. They come up from time to time on Reverb, but at collector pricing. It'd be nice to cap the collection off with something like that. Otherwise, maybe an Alessandro or even a stock Custom. It probably depends on how good a deal I find on one or the other the quickest. Then I'm done! Maybe.
  23. In the whole world, of all time and you got George Michael? Heh. Interesting.
