What a great post! I really relate to all of this. Time is the most important commodity, and peace of heart - born of great relationships and an understanding that there is “more” than stuff. A materialist worldview is so unhealthy.

Did you change headshells?

SD-1 and DS-1 into a JCM800 for my rhythm and lead tones in the late 80s. This sounds just like I remember.

Yes, I think further correction is coming. It will be interesting to see what part of the market gets hit hardest, or if it will be overall. I remember in Spring of '09 cash was so king even with the vintage stuff. We shall see if that happens again.

I find most of these players interesting (I know a couple). Circle reaction face is irritating, but reaction videos get hits. Young people struggle with interpersonal connections so emotions shared like this are appealing to them for the same reasons they are somewhat uncomfortable for us who of...

What's up with that face? I see it everywhere. It is so unbelievably ___.

Very enjoyable video!

I love that original 50s sonic blue Strat!!

Yes, but 005 was different. It was built to be a better engineered and more consistent version of his beloved, red-tolexed ‘71 metal-panel with some attributes of a JTM45/100. This isn’t much like, other than basic components, 002 or the others.

I can’t economy pick worth a damn; but I learned to emulate that rolling fives without it. I so wish I had learned economy picking when I was in my formative years but I am so dang grooved I even alternate-pick my arpeggios. His Venus Isle/ALC-era was his technical peak. Just insane picking...

Such a great amp.

Sounds great Al!

How’d they get into the channel’s dominated by Gibson and Fender? There HAD to be some sharp elbows involved. Wayne was interviewed - but man what a sad tale. Who did what? Who made the slightly distinctive patterns/jigs? So much to say so little.

Making interesting documentaries (or narrative work) is hard. Everyone thinks they can do it. It is very difficult to be a creative type always having to ask the question "why is this in here?" "How does this move the story forward?" "What in this shot is distracting from the main narrative?"...

I have a Scumback H75-LD 16ohm that I'm about to free up. Black frame, sounds great...putting a Neo Creamback in that Bogner cab for portability/compatibility.

Saw this show up on Reverb. Gorgeous. I just bought 2 Charvels or I'd be all over it!!

I still love RATT. Warren had a unique style and syncopated style in his lead playing. He also had a MASSIVE tone once they made some money. "No Surprise", the intro for which isn't double-tracked, is as raw and perfect a JMP Marshall sound as you get. I even liked much of the Soldano record...

To quote Dave Bowman, "My God, it's full of stars!"

I remember. I was CRAZY and often hilarious.

This is sad. May he Rest In Peace, and may his family be comforted by their memories.
