Yeah I guess I have pretty thin skin.

Back in the 80s I went to a little music expo over at the NY Coliseum - kind of a mini NAMM. The Steinberger booth had no amps - just a slew of Rockman/headphone stations. The sight of all these pseudo guitar heroes wailing away on those, those things without producing any sound was positively hysterical. Fretboard tapping, dive bombing sweep picking - all dead silent.  My friend and I laugh about it to this day.

My Hohner's a headless "copy" but a sorta cross with a Status as opposed to a Steinberg Paddle, but I don't care what anyone thinks, I'm keepin' it...!

... and Neil Peart's not only got far too many drums, but usually tours with 2 kits, on the same podium, and I like him too...!

... oh yeah, nearly forgot, same excuse as Brett... I only own 3 basses and I use them all every time I play... mind you one gig in 21 years, I may as well make the most of it...   ;D

Cain't argue with most of the rest tho...

Mind you PJ, your bass probably takes up more room than my entire rig...  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

ps "Mr Skin, we know where you bin..." now he had too big a drum rig too, and I never saw him play a bad show... I guess it's differing skins for differing tins...

Lowend... I wish I could have seen that, too...  :o :o :o

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...

Got to see SPIRIT just before Randy California checked out.
Got a tambourine signed by Ed Cassidy who RC introduced as "The Oldest Working Rock Drummer".
I think he was 75 at that time. Born in 1923! Looks like he's still with us:

Ed was amazing with that extra large drum added to his kit.

Again, a band's name says a lot. Would you go see Fergus & the Furballs?

Maybe, maybe not, but I won't go see (or listen to) a band whose name can't be said in polite company. And I'm no prude. It's just that if a band has to use an obscenity as a band name, the music won't be anything I like.
