Underrated af.

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.

Bernard Purdie AND the dude who lifted his beats. That's my kind of humor. Respect.

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.

No pressure, Mark!

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.

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.

In the whole world, of all time and you got George Michael? Heh. Interesting.

It's not Hetfield. Even he has a limit to which he will sellout. Chris Broderick or Tremonti.

All this MOFI talk and this jam of jams arrived today: MFSL used to be nails, but I've heard no-so-good things about the latest incarnation of the company. Not all new releases are created equal apparently.

Looking forward to them impressions.

I want to take some cool pics of my guitars, like proper portrait lighting.@Noharleyyet, can I borrow your house. I wanna go for that Dupont Registry look.

It's like you've never met an aggy.

A little less Paul.

My favorite part of the laborious restringing process on the robotuner is when the battery dies halfway through and I get to take a 2 hour break. I really like the Tronical tuner otherwise (I passed on buying a 2018 HP recently because homeboy removed the auto-tuner, replaced it with Grovers, but no longer has the robotuner to include. No gracias.) but restringing isn't the reason for the season.

Considering fucking up my kids' college for a ticket.

Manual winding? Nah, bro. Robotuners. We didn't defeat communism to wind strings by hand.

His schtick, along with most of those channels, is that he was raised on hip-hop and that's the extent of his familiarity. His metal and blues reactions are entertaining. Best of this subgenre is Lost In Vegas, imo. They mostly do metal, but have moved to country as well. Their Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey reaction is pretty entertaining. ("I feel like somebody black should have told me about this song!")

Their shows are lewd and hilarious af. Always surprises me when I see kids in the audience. And there are always kids in the audience. Saw them at the Whiskey two years ago or something. Had a blast. Satchel is a fun guitarist with some respectable chops. But even I winced at that Toneprint announcement. Lol

The prevailing thought is that the internet was invented to watch black people react to music: Edited to add: It's pr0n because that's The Beast homeboy is playing. Also, it's not. I'm pretty sure it's a run-of-the-mill 1959 $450k Les Paul.

This is the dark timeline.

You're good people, Grandioso.

SIAP There is a theory that goes no band whose fans are made up primarily of women lasts long. Don't kill the messenger, I'm just reporting the science. Peer reviewed, probably.
