Cure me..or kill me?

[Dino 939]

Hey dudes, any of you dig the song from
Gilby Clarke Cure Me Or Kill Me?

Me? HELL YEAH, for years I’ve always loved this song.
Particularly the opening E riff and when that riff re-appears before the end of the song
is SUPER DOPE.

In fact when my son picked up the guitar and
realized E is the divine chord on the guitar,
I went straight for this one,
and made him play it for one hour straight over & over.
That slithery B to Bflat to A to G to the divine E.

I remember when I first heard this song when it hit the airwaves.
I instantly dug the riff but had a bad feeling in my stomach.
I wanted to love the song but..the guitar solo,
-that ain’t Gibby.
That dude sounds way too much like Slash.
I thought there’s no way Gilby would have Slash
on his record without the Gunner’s.
This was before the era of artist collaboration overload.
-then I found out it was f’n Slash.
Now I get fired up when Slash slices & dices
his moments up when the top hat is called upon,
-slithering & serpentining throughout this song.

Hey @MonkeyMan, this one’s for you!

“There’s a viper in YOUR bedroom,
under the sheets,
there’s turantula fuzz..,
Cuz when she bites.. she bites for MURDER.
I drink the Adams Family blood”..

Now, the last line in that verse is worthless
ass paste,
-that component of the song, -no bueno.

I’ll look for my old Guitar Magazine for ya , it has a lesson on slash’s solo and how he got on the somg . Interesting stuff .

I realize dude’s.. after all these decades..
-I had the lyric WRONG!!!

“I bleed the Adam’s Family blood “.

So stoked to be able to let go of that misunderstanding that soured the song.
That’s one of the many reasons why I’ll never stop listening to music.

Dude..those Guitar mags,
I had more of those laying around
then porn mags!!!
The Mesa Boogie ads were always the best.
Like when a new amp was coming.
I remember knowing about the RoadKing 2
before a dealer who only had the RK 1 in stock
and had no idea the RK2 was coming.
This was before Mesa went direct.

I went all the way across Florida to get it.
I ended up coming home with a Silver anodized
Dual Rec & matching 4X12 Traditional cabinet.
???

To this moment, -that was the raddest looking custom color & textured tolex of a matching
amp & cabinet I’d ever seen, played through
& owned.

I also went surfing that day,
( Sabastien Inlet )
The music store was in Melbourne on the
east coast of Florida.
-I cracked my head open on some sketchy rock,
not too bad of a ding (5 stitches)
BUT…
a few moments later,
I got tangled up in a riptide like current that took me 3 miles down the beach to
Satellight Beach by Patrick Air Force Beach.

To conclude,
-at least I had that dope ass set-up to
plug into and drool over until I fell asleep
looking the pair over all night in gratified feels‍?

Dude, to give it closure,
about 3 years later I sold the amp & cabinet on EBay .
This was way before Reverb.

This 18 year old kid bought the pair,
well his Mother did.
It was a gift for him graduating high school & getting accepted into Stanford.
Soooo RAD to be a part of that!!!!!?

I talked to his Mom on the phone,
it was cool man.
He was a fine young man.
So I sent him an extra pre-amp tube
-I packed a TungSol 12ax7 in the amplifier headshell when I shipped the amp for his V1 spot.
Back then right after those TS’s came out,
-they KICKED ASS.
Big improvements in a Dual Rectifier
with one in V1.
(Especially back then).

He installed it & was sooo hyped!!
So he called me to thank me personally.
We talked gear/music etc and how stoked I was
for him to have this set-up and is going to one of the finest college’s in the country.

I could tell when I talked to his Mom again
that the sale of my rig was the final touch on a bittersweet goodbye to her son,
-as her son is off to college.
(Tear jerker moment).

-the times of gold.
