Enjoyed your gig report, great stuff.

The Rumble and Marshall sure looked showroom fresh to us, too. Even two of the cymbal stands still had the tags on them.

I played an in-store Guitar Center gig years ago where they provided the backline, including the instruments. Same deal with price tags still on things. Even the bass I played.

I think that would make a great video... music store, bustling with low key customers, inquiring about merchandise and such... guy sits down at a kit, starts playing a beat... bassist takes a stool, after snagging a top shelf axe, hammering out a steady thrum of pulse pounding, low notes... and here comes the lead, busting down the 'quiet zone' doors, with his six string band saw, unleashing maximum destruction on who he assumes are unsuspecting clients... of course, in my mind, Drew Carey belts out the lyrics to some half baked cover, but it still sounds good... the song slowly fades out, the musicians gently mooring their respective instruments, as they join the rest of the customers who, interestingly enough, have failed to acknowledge the last 5 minutes of their collective lives was filled with cool, unadulterated awesomeness...

... did I mention there were 'ring girls'... and tigers... shooting flaming corn dogs from their ears... yeah, that's a wrap.

Wonder if they sold them as "new" afterwards?

Nice to see another local TB'er here..... there's enough of us here that we should try to get together for a meet n greet.

I'm in. HoG has done us well over the years too.
