My old band gathered in our old stomping grounds in Utah and did a reunion show. In true Spinal Tap fashion, our drummer exploded a few days before we gathered to rehearse (drugs are bad, kids) but we shifted and moved forward. It's not pretty but it was fun, and it's got a (Japanese) Thunderbird.

Get a crazy hat and some oversize '70s sunglasses and get your Leon Wilkeson on!

Ha! I'll take that over the Jerry Garcia comparisons.

Have we gotten these guys yet? I love the feel and tone on the studio version.

I saw Silversun Pickups open for Muse about 3 years ago. I thought they did great opening for such a big band at a sold out United Center. Thought about buying some of their stuff, but they get a little too Pumpkin-esque for my tastes. I can take it in small doses though!

Not sure if anyone has posted it before in this thread. But here is Francis Buchholz sporting a NR Tbird II.

OldManC · August 05, 2013, 03:01:15 PM

Around the time that video came out there was a NR bird in the local free classifieds in Los Angeles for $150 and it sat there for weeks. The guy couldn't give it away. If I only had a time machine...

But then again, Scorpions were never the definition of cool.
So maybe that video didn't really help the sales of NR Tbirds...

Highlander · August 05, 2013, 04:31:10 PM

New one iirc, so I went hunting and found another with a snippet of the NR...

I think I paid $295 for the white one in my pic that I posted, and it had a headstock repair. I traded it...shudder...for a '73 Jazz Bass with the black block maple neck. Thank you, Dennis Dunaway!

Kim Valentine with a custom red Thunderbird.........

How frickken' cool is that neck!

This (The Go-Gos) is horrible!!! The way they hold, fret and pick their instruments already tells you that they can't really play. The models (the unfortunately late) Robert Palmer hired for Addicted to Love did a better job pretending to play. The keyboarderess makes (the unfortunately also late) Linda McCartney look like Keith Emerson, Jon Lord and Rick Wakeman rolled into one. Give me The Runaways, Bangles or Donnas anyday. I need some Fanny to cleanse my ears:

Never liked the music of the Go-Gos, but didn't know how they looked. Now I don't know which is worse.

And that garish Redbird is horrible too.

Thanx Uwe, I really enjoyed that... ermm... fanny
