Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

For my jazz cocktail ensemble? Lol

Well, maybe not that.

Moon was a great drummer, I don't care what anyone says, so is Ringo.

Do people really think Moon wasn't a great drummer? Just listen to "Won't get Fooled Again".

I really like Mick Fleetwood's drumming. check out when he does the middle, powerhouse. I saw a few bands at this place.

\I've always loved this and wished I could have seen this original version of the band.

...and that Guild guitar was off the charts cool - at 9:30 was a song by them I really liked - essentially a hippy C&W song! Followed by one of their biggest hits.


This wasn't a Top 40 hit, but on one of their LP's (Hums of The Lovin' Spoonfull) - one of my faves.

I knew (and loved/love) everything on that first video except the song at ~16:00. What is that?
Never heard the second video's song before.
I really liked this from "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" as well. Also on the B side of the "Rain on the Roof" 45, which is how I heard of it. Lovely weird.

The headstock is a much a part of an instrument as the rest of it to me as far the the gestalt of the aesthetics. I like more narrow ones usually.

I've always preferred all on one side tuners. But while I really like the Thunderbird and Strat headstocks, I've never been a big fan of Tele headstocks.

I've just discovered two really good examples of EMGs, really like what you can get with them. I actually had a PJ set years ago, and when I dug in I got a nice crunch.
I just rediscovered this through @Chucky Stiletti and a Wooten vid I saw recently... I'll see if I can find it.
Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but it's pretty cool.
Dirt and punch, less woof/murk...

now sporting Barts…

I'm confident enough in my manhood that I'm not hindered from saying they had a few hits I really liked.

I really liked SOS, brings back good memories too, Dancing Queen isn't bad either.....ducks, looking around.......... Hey I even like some of the early 60's stuff that everyone always says is schlock. This was a little before my time, I learned about this stuff from my rock n roll aunt.

Actually this was early schlock- 1958

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

and of course….TT!..

OK, I'm going to start posting some ABBA or even Bread if you guys don't ease up with the Lovin' Spoonful.

I really like Bread. Larry Knechtel played bass for them too.

I've heard people bash him before, I think he was great and very original and would have played with him anytime.

I didn't like them when I first saw them but got used to them, I had one years ago.

I am getting a ferocious angry piano snarl from the Flamingo now even with fingers. The strings are EBCFs. Hit the bright switch on an old ACC amp and it takes no prisoners whatsoever.

Fire in the firehouse!!!

A modded Tele has been a fav/fascination since I saw these pics when I was about 12. That's why I love the headstock so much also:

Ronnie James Dio playing an EB-0 and singing lead in 1967, the music is not live.
