Gorgeous sound on that TII too... 8)

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I think The Mike Lull Tbird in this Joe Bonamassa video sounds great




(not a big fan of Joe's voice either by the way..)

I like that agitation tone in it, it makes you listen to the lyrics. It sounds driven, probably not an easy man to be around/have as a frontman/band leader.

It's okay'ish, but never above that, pales compared to everything else around it. Imagine what Glenn Hughes, Steven Tyler or Paul Rodgers would do to this track. My issue is even more watching Joe sing though. He's so incredibly unrock, even unblues, but not nerdy enough to make up for it otherwise. And he's not a beautiful, untainted, and even slightly naive piece of natural art like Rory Gallagher or Johnny Winter either. Nor as suave as Eric C. Watching Joe B. is a bit like witnessing the head of the accounting department at a corporate event playing impromptu guitar and going: "Man, I never knew he played that well guitar!"

And if I may make myself unpopular again here, that Lullbird sounds like an angry P Bass to me.  :-\

Craig Gruber with that legendary three pup Non-Rev - through all of the distortion of this lousy audio you can hear that Elf played well and were a grooving little band. Enlarged line-up with Mark Nauseef on percussion which probably dates the performance  later than 1974.

I know he did. Wasn't he minister of the environment for quite a while? I have no issues against musicians turning politician, you know. There should be rules against failed postcard painters and - unrelated - successful real estate moguls though. ;D

On the postcard painter?



I'm not vouching for whether this little ditty credited to an Austrian hobby artist might not be a fake! Come to think of it, it's a bit impressionist, nein?

No, the other one. The wannabe wallbuilder. You're not dragging me into presidential politics.

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Wow a thrash band from Germany with the name Sodom. Who would have guessed? T-bird sounds nice enough from what I can tell. Regarding the earlier posts, politics do make some subjects tricky. Is that why nobody wants to talk about Euro vision this year? Hope Vates got a kick out of it at least.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.
