Let's spread some musical misinformation

I think it's more along the line that parent companies opt to make only budget, beginner electricity down here... Except Warwick Rockelectricity, which puts top notch electricity through terrible hardware. 
In some parts of England the voltage goes to 221 because it's one more than 220...gives those amps that extra push over the cliff.
It's only 219 volts in Yorkshire as it's just a little bit cheaper and takes the edge off the bill the venue presents you with for the electricity used during your gig. (Venues aren't charities tha knows).
Have you seen the latest craze, the affects pedal? They look just like effects pedals but when you stomp on one, you immediately become someone else, as if by magic.
In the last little while, I've been Buckethead, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, Joe Walsh, Joe Bonamassa, Joan Jett, and Joe Pesci … That's when I got arrested for profanity and common assault and received thirty hours community service and a lovely little ankle bracelet. When they let me go home, I stomped ironically on a Police pedal and they did me for carrying a concealed elvish sword and impersonating a pop star. I had no idea.
Affects pedals, I have to say, they're fun sometimes, with all the trappings and all. I loved stomping on the Bonamassa — instantly, fifty-eight rare vintage guitars, a guitar tech, two heavily armed security guards, a manicurist and five pounds of blue M&Ms appear in your bedroom. It does get a little crowded in there, at times.
Honestly, these new fangled affects pedals are not all they're cracked up to be, especially if you're minding the kids, operating heavy machinery, or you're trying to be more diet conscious. The costumes alone can get you into a lot of trouble. And, I'd steer well clear of the Carlo Broschi pedal, if I were you, because … reasons. You have been warned.

Did you get this from JHS? I think it's actually Jbuckethead. The j is silent.
Stevie Wonder was often the butt of the band's jokes. He has played entire concerts with googly eyes attached to his sunglasses or wearing a Conway Twitty wig. Some suggest that Stevie is in on the joke.
They have the apposite affect on me. Mania's set in again. I'm peddling, BIG time. Can't help myself. So it's back to AO for this little black duck, I'm afraid.

In 1976, Gibson was commissioned a run of guitars and basses to celebrate the Bicentennial, including a Thunderbird. A Thunderbird is a mythical creature in native American folklore (this part is not misinformation), so God knows what we were celebrating for. 
Cryonic treatment will cure any shortcoming of your instrument plus makes you play and sound like a god on that instrument.
Also consider to give cables, pedals, amps and speaker cabinet cryonic treatment.
It really is a pity that except for Chuck Norris (and maybe Donald Trump) no human being can survive cryonics to prosper in superhuman perfection.

It was not 1976 but 1776 when Gibson was asked to make an electric guitar to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence... but due to the fact the only electricity available was from a kite and a key the guitar took 200 years to be built ....
Because of their mostly poor economic situations Saltwater should do a rebate action on the Rosa Parks series or the MLK stuff.
No it isn't. Only verifiable truths can posted here.This is misinformation, remember?
