  1. Leah died of a broken heart after losing Lamb Chop. So sorry, friend
  2. Partscaster built around a vintage c.1980 Yamaha body Body / trem block from a Yamaha SuperRnRoller. Wood is Sen (~Asian Ash) Rose Mariposa pickups (domestic hand wound, not imports) MM neck rosewood on maple IIRC, tuners are GFS Gotohs Plays great. Asking $250 shipped / pp'd All reasonable offers considered
  3. For sale is my Schecter Damien Special. Crimson red quilted maple top on a mahogany back, hardtail (TOM), maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 24 frets Bridge and neck pickups are Seymour Duncan hybrids, made from a pair of Screamin Demon and Pearly Gates. The bridge position uses the SD screw and PG slug coils / The neck pickup uses the SD hex coil and the PG screw coil. The SD/PGb hybrid in the neck position balances very nicely given that this is a 24 fretter. Guitar is in near perfect condition with only a few swirl marks. It has never left the house. Asking $400 shipped / pp. No trades, please. I will consider all reasonable offers
  4. If your yardstick is notes/second or some other specific technical measure, then you'd likely say "no". But I guess I romanticize what it means to be a rock star. that means that your notariety isn't limited to musicians. If you look at fame as a factor, there is no one as famous that is that good. There is also no one that good who is that famous. Eddie reached far more people than other guys who might be technically faster or who play more complicated music. But he built songs that got him out there and everyone knows who he is. Yngwie is a helluva player, and he is quite a character. But he is obscure. There are plenty of guys: via satch etc who are really good, but no one but musicians know who they are. No one but musicians were reached by their music. If you rock in your basement, you are not the greatest hard rock guitarist. Eddie stood on top of the world and tore that {censored} up and made a name for himself. that makes him tops in my book. +1 great post. By that measure and without taking too much time to think about it, the only person since Eddie to approach this magnitude is Slash. And he approaches it; he does not reach it.
  5. Best Jimmy Page tone ever [video=youtube;biPhaIkjW6Y] G:love:itar, or "I want to be a harmonica" [video=youtube;xH-_9cwdLug]
  6. Pot, meet kettle. That's called sarcasm. BTW, seriously, I'm seeing the write-in No votes out-polling the Yes votes. and why would you expect one person vs the rest of the world to win in an opinion poll ? played out thread is played out
  7. hello? Tampax is the Gibson of Tampons The name is on the string?
  8. Um, that's funny. But, as it will be a studio album I sort of doubt that will happen, they'll be fresh in his mind because Geezer will have just written them. fair point, but I will rebut by pointing out that he has also seemingly forgotten the language
  9. it will be Black Sabbaths. except for maybe "oh, yeah!"... "we love you" Ozzy forgot the lyrics
  10. We're not a large enough market apparently? Steven Wright once had a bit where he ponders why there are no commericals for string... ...everyone uses string
  11. Irrelevant. What was going on around of them has no influence on their abilities to be interesting, or to lose focus. Really? when I was growing up in the 70s we had 3 TV stations: CBS, NBC and ABC, (ok, 4 with PBS if you were a nerd or Sesame Street fan). Each one got "about" 1/3 of the viewership. Now there are a bazillion stations. It has nothing to do with holding interest, it has to do with an audience having other viable options available. In terms of musical interest around 1970, you would look for your inspiration from Clapton, Beck, Hendrix, Page, Keef, Townshend, and a *handful* of others (please don't shoot me if I left 3 or 4 off the list) ** ** EDIT: I was only referrring to 60s influences obviously there was the whole 1950s birth of rock and roll (Chuck, Buddy Holly, and so on) By the late 70s hundreds and hundreds of bands came and went, some stayed on the scene. This was when Eddie had only arrived along with countless other 2nd / 3rd generation influences after the 60s wave
  12. This makes perfect sense considering Eddie always said he was one of his main influences. Clapton was interesting for a longer period of time though. Almost a decade even. EVH gets 77- to about 1982. Clapton wins that one. That is not fair at aface value. You've got to consider their eras. When Clapton was at his peak there were a fraction of the number of mainstream bands then there were at VHs peak. And in the late 60s the whole guitar god thing was brand new. There were a few dozen guitar heros (sorry) by the time Ed came along and the novelty of a guitar virtuoso was not a new concept
  13. One premise I think that has not been established... What does "Influenced by" mean? It could mean a) I decided to play guitar after I heard Hendrix | EVH | Clapton |Cobain | whoever b) Songwriting style c) Technique d) genre e) Choice of equipment any or all of the above in any combination
