She was hawt in Buffalo ‘66.

Shoo-Bee-Doo from Madonna’s Like A Virgin album.

I’ve been playing since 1972 when I was 19 and never really did stop. My progress has been very slow going, tho.

I have 5 SXes and one Hadean Tele, which I replaced the neck on with a GFS XGP neck. The Hadean is the only guitar from Rondo I bought that came with medium jumbo frets, the SXes all came with jumbo frets and i didn't change out the neck on any of them. That's one of the main things I like about SXes, they all have jumbo frets. My SXes are some of my favorite guitars, and are great mod platforms.

Right now it would be a Tele, that’s what I’m into these days.

Sweet V! HNGD and Welcome to the Forum, r_clockberg!

Well, since I first posted in this thread, back on June 12, 2010, I’ve gotten into Johnny Thunders. I’ve gotten a few of his albums on vinyl, including So Alone (a solo album) and Heartbreakers Live at Max’s Kansas City, Volumes 1 & 2. I also have L.A.M.F. The Lost ‘77 Mixes on CD. All good stuff, he was a good guitar player, R.I.P.

Sweet, HNAD!

I love those Hornets, I wish I had gotten one before they were discontinued @ Rondo. I don't have any Agiles, but I have 4 SXes. I love 'em. EDIT: Whoa rondo still has the Agile Hornets, but they seem to be a lot more expensive than I remember them https://www.rondomusic.com/hornet624white.html

Wow, a Post I made 11 years ago here. I now have 3 Floyded guitars and I like 10-38 gauge GHS strings on them, I like them better than regular 9s. All of my trem regular 9s. All of them are floating and I find that bending strings with 9 s make the others strings go out of tune, which is bad when you bend one string and play a non-bent string @ the same time. Putting on 10s helped with that, but I really didn't like those gauges. I like 10-38s, they're both stable and bendable.

The last time I really listened to Neil Schon was when he was in Santana.

EVH

I loved it. I loved the music from that era. It was a FUN movie. I watched just to hear the soundtrack. I agree that Tom really nailed the whole rock star thing. Can he sing? Maybe a little, but how they put all of the songs together to tell the story was kinda cool. It was entertaining from the opening credits until the lights came on. It had its hilariously funny moments, too. like when Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand singing "I can't fight this feeling anymore". That was funny. Just seeing Juliane Hough in those outfits was worth the price of admission. This might be my sole reason for watching it (when it comes to basic cable). I would really like to see Promethius, tho.

I like the red bridge pickup I have in a Squier, I imagine a silver/red combo would be pretty awesome in the bridge position of a guitar.

I've seen Jimi's bio on the Biography channel several times, and Noel Redding recounts how Jimi went after a groupie who preferred Noel to Jimi. That pissed Jimi off, and he went after the groupie with a brick Who knows, maybe Jimi would have pulled an OJ on some woman, and in th process destroyed his legacy W/E Jimi might have done, @ least that didn't happen

I actually think he would have been influenced by McLaughlin, Di Meola, and those guys, and pretty much, like them, by the 80s rolled around, he'd have gotten sick of guitar fireworks and would probably be playing mostly acoustic blues now. LOL, you mean he would have become like some old Mississippi Delta bluesman? Somehow, I doubt it, I don't think Jimi was that interested in acoustic guitar. And basically, I think Jimi was a rocker, not a jazzer. And a tinkerer, par excellence. I think he would have loved computers.

I think Hendrix would have been very influenced by the shredders had he lived long enough. He would have been influenced by Rhoads, Van Halen, Steve Vai, and Yngwie. I certainly don't think he would have ignored them like Clapton has. But Clapton is a bluesman first and foremost. Hendrix was never hampered by such limitations.

That's a beauty, HNGD!

Whoa! :eekphil: Not exactly one and the same I can see (and hear) why Dylan liked it tho, that's some good stuff, too. Loved the tremolo picking. Thanls for the quick reply, Paul

and anyone who likes the Sex Pistols and/or Guns and Roses. Oh, it was Gumkick and not AT that posted this video. That was good stuff, first time I heard JT, thanks for posting it.

Interesting stuff in this thread. I'd always heard of Johnny Thunders, but never actually heard him, thanks for the videos and the biograpohical data, AT. The first time I heard of Johnny Thunder was from a 1968 Bob Dylan interview with Rolling Stone. Dylan was asked, RS: Is there anything happeneing on the current rock and roll scene that strikes you as good? Dylan: Yeah, I heard a record by Johnny Thunder. It's called "I'm Alive." Never heard it either, huh? Well, I can't believe it. Everyone I've talked to, I've asked them if they've heard that record. RS: Is it on the radio right now? Dylan: I don't know. I heard it on the radio a month ago, two months ago . . . three months ago. It was one of the most powerful records I've ever heard. It's called "I'm Alive." By Johnny Thunder. Well, it was that sentiment, truly expressed. That's the most I can say . . . if you heard the record, you'd know what I mean. But that's about all . . . I wonder if Dylan's "Johnny Thunder" is the same as the New York Dolls' Johnny Thunders. Anybody else heard that song, "I'm Alive"? Mystery....

Maybe. Maybe not. Hard to tell what his friends or bandmates think of it. I am sure they are used to it and just enjoy the gravy train while it's running. I have played with assholes before and tolerate their BS for the sake of the Bigger Picture. I do wonder if Mayer thinks he is so cool and so clever and so subtle that he can say anything he wants in his quirky way and everyone will applaud him for it. Isn't that the danger of having people laud you all the time? Your head gets so damn big that you lose the perspective of the common person and presume to believe that it doesn't apply to you.... because you are .... after all.... John Mayer. Like I said before, I think he's going to have some explaining to do, especially if he wants to get back into the good graces of certain people. Wendy Williams (of The Wendy Williams Show fame, "How u doin'?") has already said she's not going to mention him in her "Hot Topics" segment anymore.
