Some 80's Aerosmith, not their prime maybe but still enjoyable.

Covering a track from Joe Perry's first solo... :mrgreen:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
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...

Here's a slice of Italian pop-punk for you.  It's really very good.

I might be one of the few who likes the Aerosmith version of that song better than the original. Besides I never saw David Hull play a thunderbird so I couldn't include him here ;D

He deserves an honorable mention for the Hamer 'xplorer though..

I've noticed that there's a TBird player in all the videos of Chuck Berry's 1972 BBC Concert. Don't know who he is.

That T-bird player ought to be Billy Kinsley, who was the bassist in The Merseybeats, from Liverpool. http://www.carlsguitarcorner.com/links/famousfirebirds1.html

I think his name is Anderee Hearst. But you can't blame him for it.

I like "Let the Music ..." whether it's done by Joe or the 'Smiths. One of the few real up-tempo rockers I like. I saw the Joe Perry Project open for Uncle Alice (Special Forces Tour, by that time the alcohol abuse was really beginning to show with Alice, he performed well, but looked terrible). it was the first song they played and it kicketh the proverbial butt.

Can't remember if we already this one here.
But at least it's a good excuse to listen to some AC/DC
(There's a Non Reverse Thunderbird in there somewhere)

Some more NR Tbird action;

Brian Wheat of Tesla has been a faithful ambassador of the Thunderbird troughout the years. Most of the time he plays regular (Reverse) Thunderbirds.
But he also has at least one more NR Tbird (with different bridge and different pickups). (Not the same as the one in the video that 66 Atlas posted).

The lead guitarist should have let Brian end that solo instead of suddenly appearing with a Ric.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.
