I bought my '77 used in' 78 or '79. As soon as I picked it up and played it for 5 minutes, I paid the dude and ran outta his house like I stole it lol Almost 50 years later, it still feels like it was made for me. Now, I haven't really gigged, I just play at home, but, if my house was on fire...
Love DD, his lines and style are "Killer" lol
School's Out, Halo of Flies, Dead Babies, and Billion Dollar Babies are some of his best. I just listened to their Muscle of Love album 2 days ago.
Great band, happy they got back together for one last album and have fun.
Mine haven't changed, if anything, the music I've loved for 60+ years has given me even more joy as I have learned more and more music theory and production techniques and values due to people like Rick Beato and others. I've always loved rock/pop/metal and old country, classical, jazz, fusion...
They shuffle the songs in the 2nd half from night to night depending on what show you see.
I hope to be going in Dec here in AZ. Even with the cost, I figure this will probably be my last chance to see them ever again after 22x. I don't think they have the audacity to have a another tour after...
Great interview, as if Rick could have anything other.
I liked it because even though I'm not a huge Rundgren fan, but I know he's an elite producer and pretty good musician. He seems really down to earth and obviously intelligent. I always enjoy the BTS info on music creation.
I wouldn't put it in the trunk, it will easily be 20° plus warmer than the car's cabin.
I wouldn't worry too much, here in AZ right now, our vehicles get to 140° on the inside if closed up in the sun and the plastic interiors don't melt away or even crack lol
If you go to the Van Damme website it only lists Mexico in the Western Hemisphere as a distribution point or manufacturing location, everything else is in Europe Asia and Australia. So that makes sense why the shipping is so expensive.
I don't know where you live, but, you can go to your counties' GIS website and pull up your property drawing, it might show the fence on there and if it's on your side.
I use. 88 picks, the triangle shape, mostly.
Check your hand/arm technique. If you use mostly wrist, it may cause more discomfort. Look up how Carol Kaye plays, and actually Rick Beato as well. More arm than wrist. But, as everything in life, YMMV.
