Yes, gives "going out of your way to make the interviewer feel comfortable" (pull the rug from underneath him!) new meaning!  :mrgreen:

Personally reminds me of sometimes trying to have a conversation with my dad, but Jerry is altogether more friendly and has better manners.  :rimshot:

I suspect that the interviewer pissed him off before the camera rolled (or that he didn't want to do the interview) and that he perhaps didn't feel very well. Even his body language and eye-rolling tells you he wanted to be doing something else.

I thought everyone here knew that already! It went pretty viral when it came out.

My wife and I were at this show.  The lineup was amazing and included Greg Allman, Cheap Trick, Charlie Daniels, Peter Frampton and Govt Mule just to name a few.  All did covers of Lynyrd Skynryd songs.  The weirdest part was  Artimis Pyle was sitting a few rows behind us, He hadnt been invited so he bought a ticket.

Well the whole thing about Artimus getting accused of molesting his daughter might be part of the reason they didn't want him up there. Nice job on the Rhodes there.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

On second thought, I think that's a Wurlitzer. The black LP jr sounds just as good on the solo as any PAF equipped LP too.

I think their hatred for Artimus pre-dates all that and hasn't gotten any better lately given all the lawsuits over his movie.

This was a pretty good documentary/story about them from a few years back.  Way better than the old Behind the Music episode.

George knows his Gibsons, and he gives credit where credit's due to Audiovox.

They do say on their site that they don't always list everything they have.  But I remember in years past they would often have an EB-1 or two on a fairly regular basis.  The last few times I've been there were none.  In fact, I've seen fewer Gibsons, period, or even none at all.  (I'm talking about the site.  I've never been to the store, although at some point I probably will.)

It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

Trower has still got it. Based on this performance he deserves as much accolades and acclaim as Clapton. Perhaps it's the fish face that keeps him from being as popular. I'm guessing Jack's EB is with his son now. Hope to see it grace a stage again in the future.

I prefer Clapton to Trower.
