I am amazed at what we are able to cover with this combo just by changing pick-up settings or clicking into overdrive. While we don't have the variations that your band is using, I do play acoustic (Sigma DM2 w/Fishman humbucker pick-up) on several songs just to get the the right feel.
Sounds great. I lost track of music in the early nineties, which is about the time that I got married ;-)
Still, there isn't much new stuff that I like. The only new stuff that I like (which is probably already a few years old) is from the more mellow female vocalists, like Paula Cole, Enya and Dido. My knowledge of hard rock ends pretty much with Led Zeppelin. The new stuff sounds like a pale imitation.
I don't listen to any "new music". My personal favorites are Dylan,{I have over 700 live CDS}Van Morrison and NRBQ, a "cult" favorite that most people have never heard of.

Kinks were geniuses - underappreciated but consciously or subconsciously the band wanted it that way so I guess it's ok.

how is baker still alive :)
you got that right. he is the kieth richards of drummers.
rode hard and put away wet.
i guess that 60's embalming thing worked well.
isn't that a 335 hes a twangin on ?
it is amazing the influence the parents music has on thier young ones.
i have 2 daughters. when the oldest was 10 the cable guy came to install (about 19 y. o. ) and SRV version of voo doo chile was on the "turntable" the cable guy said to my 10 y. o. oh jimi hendrix, she said well actually this is SRV doing a hendrix song. freaked the young man out.
no matter how much we played great stuff in our house my girls were still young girls and we could not keep them from thier new kids on the block era. AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
i love my SRV model strat. a true work horse guitar.
but my 1969 es335 is the sweetest guitar i have ever played.
my guild starfire is killer for stuff like buffalo springfield and even gets a great sound for the amboy dukes journey to the center of the mind. not quite the sustain nuges byrdland gets but volume and strong bending gets close.
wow great link, thanks.
i looked up harrisons guitar history also. lots of great info.
really love the sound he got on beatles for sale (beatles 65) with his gretsch tennessean (sp) particularly on the twangy buddy holly and carl perkins covers.
one of my top bundy episodes.
sonics' strycnine was killer.
whalers had some good stuff also, from that neck of the woods.
You have freepmail.
Have you heard Deep Purple's rendition of that classic?
This is true. I know many, many people that did not take part in the moronic behavior exhibited during the 60's and I thank Jesus everyday that two of them were my parents.
They remember the 60's perfectly well, and I'm sure they are very happy that they weren't "there" as you say.
Talk about your firm grasp of the obvious! :-)
