Speaking of vinyl, Neil Young blasts vinyl resurgence as "a fashion statement"

Gosh, do you think there might possibly be some connection between his negative view of vinyl and the unmerciful blasting of his expensive Pono music player by critics?

i think the whole vinyl come back thing was bogus. sure music companies stopped making new  vinyl, but business at used record stores remained brisk as ever. now they are reissuing everything under the sun on 180 gram vinyl at very  hefty prices. this must be the fashion statement vinyl young was speaking of. :P

Give me CDs any day.  I was a DJ long enough to know exactly how fragile and space-consuming LPs are.  I don't hear any sonic penalty on CDs, and their durability and lifetime vastly exceed that of vinyl.

It is a fashion thing (my 20 year old son collects vinyl now because he deems CDs uncool) no doubt, also nostalgia and, frankly, vinyl does feel more organic than those cold lifeless silver discs. But I haven't heard a convincing statement yet that vinyl delivers bass frequencies better than a CD and to me that is a key point when listening to music. Plus the longevity, I have 25 year old CDs that have been played countless times, have become discolored over time, yet they still work. When I still had my vinyl collection, I tried everything on the planet to treat my records gently, but stuff that got played a lot still needed to be rebought after a few years. That said, now I buy remasters and remixes of the same stuff again and again, so nothing much has changed!  :mrgreen:

I regret not being able to tell CDs nuts jokes as often.
Back to guns, I think Kiss must have ripped off Albert King for the Love Gun title.

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

If we're going for the classics, then...

... and something really quite obscure for such a great band... not a classic, but on thread...

Mark Farner, the great American poet "the only way to keep America free and number one, is for every brother to have a gun". He had come a long way from I'm your Captain/Closer to my Home!

Can we have a bun thread too? They are less intimidating than gun threats.
