Alecto

I thought it was Adam Shankman? Honestly, I'm just checking IMDb since I recall seeing "From the director of Hairspray" on an ad plastered on a bus I got stuck behind on the motorway. EDIT: Just looked up John Waters. He wrote the screenplay for Hairspray, but didn't direct. I think Justin Theroux and some other guys wrote Rock of Ages. I was {censored}in' wit'cha. As others have mentioned, John Waters wrote the 1988 movie which got turned into the musical and then turned into another movie.

-----------------And so, it has ended:snax:. AGAIN, I accept YOUR surrender Alecto:thu:...................The REAL Roadie. Congratulations! You've won . . . - The scorn of your peers. - Association with the biggest musical joke of the past 30 years (that's Steven Seagal, in case I'm losing ya). - The Award for Biggest Meltdown on HCEG in the past six months. You must be so proud.

You mean John Waters? Okay, I really want to see it now! Does he make Tom Cruise eat some dog {censored}?

That was uncouth. I'm sorry if that reply offended you. But, with all due respect, you do realize we're in a thread with the word 'douchenozzle' in the title?

----------------Thanks Alecto:wave:, I accept YOUR surrender:thu:..............The REAL Rocker. Uh-huh. Okay, I'm clearly dealing with someone who's several fries short of a Happy Meal so I'll try and keep this simple . . . . . . that leprechaun who sits on your shoulder and tells you to burn things? HE'S NOT REAL! So good luck, and keep your tinfoil hat all nice and crinkly so the big bad aliens can't influence your thoughts. See ya!

-------------Hello? H-E-LL-OOOOOOO, Can you hear me down there?? Wow, I think you must have hit your head, because you're having delusions down there on the ground:eek:. I've been gone for twenty minutes, and you are still here?? I should have known something was wrong when you started singing Al Jolson tunes:facepalm:, and even the dog is pawning at your head trying to wake you up:lol:. Well, I called the ambulance and they'll be here soon, so take heart, help is on the way!!! By the way, brought you back a burger,(but you seem to be having a problem breathing), so I'll feed it to the dog and head out.Take care Bro, and try to get some exercise.....................The REAL Rocker. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why it's a bad idea to post on an internet forum while undergoing electroconvulsive therapy.

-------------What? What dunghill? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so exhausted that you are still thinking you had a chance of getting up the hill:rolleyes:. I should have realized this when your tongue started getting tangled in your shoelaces, and that passing dog started licking your face:facepalm:Oh well, I'm going to grab a burger, call me when you manage to get up:thu:....................The REAL Rocker. How do you manage to type while wearing that straitjacket? Do you use your nose? Enjoy that burger; can't you just taste that e coli?

-----------------Behind? I'm the guy sitting on top the hill eating a ice cream cone watching you trying to get half-way up the hill in vain to catch up! ....................The REAL Rocker. What hill? Oh, you mean the dungheap you're currently sitting on. Okay, carry on then; we won't interfere with your delusions.

-----------------Well, nice picture of you and the Hater Elite at the Haters Ball!! Which one of these haters in the picture are you again? ...................The REAL Rocker. I'm the guy who is telling you to quit while you're behind.

-----------------Wow, Segal isn't much to you, yet you take the time to put ALL his films into this^^^^^uh,this ^^^^^uh, whatever this is.:confused:Well, All I can say is to raise that Hater flag:thu:, drink the Haterade:facepalm:, and sing the Hater song,....."If yer NOBODY and you know it, clap your hands:cry:.....If yer nobody and you know it, clap your hands:cry:........If you haven't got a dime, but HATE anyone doing FINE:eek:,.....If yer NOBODY and yer know it CLAP YOUR HANDS:lol:...Keep Hating, Haters!!......................The REAL Rocker.

John Mayer on The Chapelle Show back in 2004: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9DcihpNYds

I agree. I can't call it up at work, but there are some videos of him on Youtube essentially trolling his fans before a show, as well as a hilarious satirical video called "How A Song Is Made", both in which he makes fun of himself quite a bit. He clearly has a good sense of humor and doesn't take himself totally seriously. I really think he does a lot of these things to {censored} with people. And I'm certainly laughing. I'm sure he does have some douchebag tendencies, but meh, either way, it doesn't affect the music. Not the video you're talking about but more proof.

yeah cause record companies never pay for that stuff Nice try, but I interviewed John Scofield for that record. He even said, "John Mayer's the real deal." Sco's been around long enough and has enough of a reputation that he's not going to stick his neck out for John Mayer if he didn't deserve it. Of course you're welcome to think it's all a conspiracy by kitten-eating alien reptiles from outer space who are controlling our minds.

I'd say make the trade. MiA Reverends aren't being made anymore and they always got great reviews. The only potential downside is that the necks are too skinny for my taste but that's just me.

I'm trying to teach my dog to play guitar but she only has two thoughts: 1) "Is it food?" 2) "Can I eat it?" Note that two doesn't necessarily follow one.

For that price you can get 3 or 4 of these: :rawk::rawk:

The only downside is that you have to cover most of that gorgeous wood with a pickguard. They should have made it rear-routed. And yes, I hate Warmoth too.

Getting a signature guitar is more about recognizing a musician's success rather than their influence. Johnny Thunders was more influential than popular, and pretty much spent the 1980's in a heroin-induced stupor. At least Joan Jett and Green Day could claim #1 hits. And methinks a large chunk of the reasoning behind the JJ Melody Maker was Gibson trying to get more girls to play guitar.

Even though I'm the world's worst fingerpicker, I'd still recommend at least trying to learn. I was playing slide last night at a charity jam and that's a lot easier with fingerpicking, since you can mute unwanted notes easier.

The closest I ever came to stealing a guitar was back in 1994. I was living with a total junkie who owned a sweet Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. He was behind on the rent, had racked up $1,000 in long distance phone bills in a month (got our phone cut off the day my other roommate had to tele-register for her university courses) and ate all our food. Needless to say, I was ready to make his LP "disappear" (definitely after paying to have the phone reconnected!) but the dumb son-of-a-bitch hocked it before I could grab it. Funny thing was that he had replaced it with a Korean Flying-V copy, and the landlord grabbed it in lieu of unpaid rent. I doubt the thing was even worth $100. I also used to go to open stages, and a lot of picks, capos and slides got left behind. I even ended up with a chromatic tuner once; I checked around and no one claimed it so I guess it's mine!

Who was their guitarist?

Reptile by The Church.... A very underappreciated 80's band. I loved Starfish back in the day.

2003 Rickenbacker 360 w/OHSC, excellent condition, only blemish is pictured. $1250 or really good trade(because I really need to sell it). PM or email me For God, Allah and Cthulhu's sake, somebody buy this so I don't have to!

how would you say his stuff became ordinary? not trying to pick up a fight, just want to know your opinion. I always think that he has a completely unique style, but no one actually copied it, unlike Jimi and EVH. Really? I've heard more than a few Tom Morello clones out in clubs; they're usually attempting to mix the whole downtuned thing with random noises (note to those guitarists: if you're not playing a 2,000+ seat venue, don't bring a Triple Rectifier!). Unfortunately, much like SRV or EVH, they don't have Morello's sense of rhythm or restraint. He definitely is the first popular metal guitarist to use musique concrete elements in his solo sections, as opposed to simply shredding.

im not even a huge evh fan, but start making your list. Guitarists who made the unordinary ordinary? Not including EVH, it would have to include: - Django Reinhardt: Try playing his stuff. Pretty difficult, huh? Now try playing it with only two fingers! - Les Paul: Pioneered sound-on-sound recording and the solidbody guitar, for Cthulhu's sake! - Chuck Berry: The first guitar hero. - Jeff Beck: Insane. Absolutely insane. - Jimi Hendrix: Do I need to say why? - The Edge: A killer rhythm player, and a tonal sorcerer. - Tom Morello: A killer technician who doesn't let it get in his way.
