I attended a free Ramones concert at Buff State in 1985, opening act was Green Jello. I think it was their second gig ever. They started the show playing before The Reducers who were supposed to be a great cover band. I can't remember a single thing The Reducers played because we were all...

Not taking any B rated films into regards I'd say: 1 DOOM (loved the game as a teen, hated the movie) 2 Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (cool looking concept imagery but that's it) 3 Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny (how do you make a humorless feature film from one of the most funny HBO shorts...

My first bass and one I play most often. I bought it used two years ago and it came with the molded case. My case has no padding though. Is there supposed to be some kind of cushion or lining in it?

my fist bass, a lovely green Peavey Patriot with it's uber ferrite pick up and strangely large but comfortable neck :cool:

I was looking around a bit and found my nice red SBV-500 in Skowhegan Maine (where they filmed Empire Falls) at Perkins Music House I picked up my yellow 'road worn' from GC had it shipped from Tuscon. Road worn = farmer tan on the pickguard from stickers that were removed, original tone and...

Forgot Rosario Tigeras and Razors Edge (w/ Bill Murray) I like movies so much I'm going to see if I can pick up a couple tweed bass hard shell cases for my Yamaha SBVs and paint the movie poster for Akira Kirosawas Stray Dog on One and the popular still scene from Seven Samurai on the other...

Amazon has a copy of Caught In The Jaws of The Blues but it's $55.00 which is a bit too steep for me. I'll try our local book hound and see if they have anything, they had a book my brother had searched out for years. The Funk Machine sounds interesting too.

Thanks for the great tips I'll check them out. Co-writer credits I'm fine with if it gets used, once the studios get a hold of it they twist it into whatever they want to anyway, for example not many folks know that The Crow (based on James O'Barr's graphic novel) was first pitched to him as a...

I'm writing a screenplay that has a musician in the 'mentor' role (being the Obi-Wan for the main character). There will be musicians in the first movie but I really want to follow up the first movie with a second that features the musicians and has a storyline that involves some of the myths...
