Quite loose, yes.

I had a better recollection of Kenny Jones "time stability", but that must have been from The Who days when he was mostly drumming to a click (and sounded dead for it)! Ron Wood's choice of notes in his solos is adventurous too . ...

The Who tied Jones' hands from the beginning and they really suffered for it. Years ago on MTV I saw an early 'reunion' show they did that Kenney played and he tore it up completely. Played just like Moon and the band sounded fantastic. He was fully capable of playing in that style. For some reason, they wouldn't allow him to when he was first in the band.

Here's where 'loose' beats tight in my book:

If Rod can handle the vocals I won't mind who they get on bass so long as he plays his parts correctly. Tetsu would be cool for historical sake. Anyone know where he is these days?

I was 11 and had just discovered KISS. It was a great year!

If you post only the address (don't use the buttons to add code around it), the video will show up by itself.

What the heck is that Japanese one from? I have never seen an Evertilt clone before.

My Ibanez Thunderbird has the Evertilt. Works great with the tailpiece (like Grecos have). I've always maintained that my Ibanez is one of my best ever birds for recording.

My wife works with a bunch of Republican women who were all bitching & moaning about Obama & the election.

No one but those women know if they voted or not. After all the things I've personally heard non-Obama voters being called by some of his more enthusiastic supporters in the media and general population, I don't blame anyone for keeping quiet about their vote.

I'm not one to voice strong political opinions on a bass board. I wouldn't do it even if we weren't asked not to by our hosts because I'd rather celebrate what we have in common than point out where we differ, so I try carefully to choose my words when I post in threads that are bound to go there. But, considering the amount of 'bitching & moaning' Republicans have heard over the last eight years I find it ironic that anyone would complain about that activity in the days after such a contentious election season.

Can we celebrate an historic election without bringing political philosophies into it?

Voted over the weekend. Didn't go the way I'd hoped, but that's part of the process. Tomorrow we move forward and hope for the best in the future.

Hey Scott,

Sorry to come here and read this today. My current project ends in about a month and I'll probably be out of work for a while after it. It's a scary time... I'm glad to see your positive attitude survived the morning. It'll serve you well as you move forward, my friend. May your 19th century skills provide you with a 21st century living!
