It's a BaCH, all right! Found this video in which you can clearly see the Gibson TRC partially covering the BaCH logo.

I'm just happy that you remember them, they seem to be almost forgotten. RIP Jim Ellison, gone way too soon..

Who wrote the storyline for this video? The same person responsible for AC/DC's fly on the wall videos?

Finland's Finest


Ah, lovely, Hanoi Rocks covering rootsy CCR is an unlikely choice (you'd think they would be more at home with a Stooges or Velvet Underground cover), but they pull it off with aplomb. The song was recommended to them by Bob Ezrin, producer of Two Steps from the Move-album, who was in two minds about their songwriting capabilities. Eventually, the band relented.

And then Vince Neil took a drunk drive ...
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

German band Ohrenfeindt. Bass player / lead singer Chris Laut always uses Thunderbirds. He has several Gibson Tbirds. One Bicentennial Tbird is named Bride and another is named Babe. He also has a Pelham Blue BaCHbird, but I don't think he uses it much.





BTW Chris would be a better stand-in for Brian Johnson than Axl...

Wot Axl? Hadn't heard; dude's voice isn't even in the right octave.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (drummer and bassist of Deep Purple, Jake!)

Are you serious Jake?
Last few weeks the rumour has been buzzing round on every rock related website. We've even discussed it here in the Café corner.
Malcolm's son seems to be the only more or less reliable source. AC/DC has not made an official statement as of yet.

Yep; my brain has been otherwise occupied this last week, between work (project I'm working on going live later this month and everyone is losing their minds), obsessing over getting a new amp, getting ready for a festival at the end of the month (our drummer informed us a few weeks ago that he won't even be in country, so called one of my younger brothers in and we're training him up), getting some merch together for that, and comming down with some sort of toddler-borne (they are like rats inn this way) disease so my brain is only working at half capacity to begin with.

.... then again I also have a natural talent for missing tidbits like this.

They were a great band. Those harmonies! Without ever sounding twee. Whenever I write something harmony-drenched, fellow-Aussies Air Supply lurk dangerously near.  :mrgreen:
