I admit I didn't listen earlier, but because you are who you are, I took time to listen. I admit I did like "The Needle and the Damage Done." I didn't cry, but it did evoke something good and communicated the empty pain intended. I admit to appreciating the song as never before, though obviously hearing it many times. Well done. (But don't tell anybody.)
We do-and get requests for-"Harvest Moon" so I hadda listen to it to get the feel. It's OK, just not my cuppa.
see the things one learns here?…
how can anyone not like these guys?........that's some honkys seriously GETTING DOWN!....

First time with the new project tonight went well. No vocals tonight. Just guitar, drums, bass. Next week we'll have vocals and get to work on writing some songs. Just ran through some covers tonight to get a feel for playing together.
Got to play through a kustom 200 the guitarist has. I've known a few people with them before but first time Ive used one. Didn't fiddle with knobs too much, just had to turn up the treble. Sounded pretty good.

As a "senior", a "Boomer", a guitarist and lover of sound, I have weathered my grief as so many great artists whom I admire have died and, not being a genuine "social media" participant, have been silent. So many. So sad, yet so inevitable, yes... But I must, with all my heart, express my deep love and respect for the great Jeff Beck on this evening, upon learning of his passing. Jeff Beck LIT ME UP when I was in my early teens and he was in The Yardbirds, then beyond with his early Groups, all his various and varied projects. He represented true excitement on guitar, with sound, with tone, with The Blues, with ROCK. An ORIGINAL and outstanding voice that always straddled gritty/greasy/sexy and SUBLIME. As he progressed (important word here), he eschewed major rock stardom and instead embraced primarily instrumental, improvisational music (okay, some call it "fusion") and - crucially - never stopped growing, exploring. He, unlike any of his generation that I can think of, grew and grew and grew and developed a PROFOUND LANGUAGE on the guitar that is/was all his own. Jaw-dropping, inspiring, soaring forever forever forever.... Just had to say. I am so, so sad right now, but also want to scream JEFF BECK RULES!!! as loud as I can. All possible love to his family, friends, and fans.
Long Live Jeff Beck

Great shot! And you posted it on TT.
Oh, if I went to a baseball game, it would be Citi Field. I grew up a Mets fan, and Citi Field has a good beer selection. Yankee Stadium's sucks.
sheer genius and a total natural…huge influence in defining the electric guitarist imho….should be knighted …”Sir Geoffrey Arnold Beck”…..yup..
I played through one of those years ago, when I started on bass and was learning a lot about amp gear. I was a hired gun for a one-off project and they supplied rehearsal space and amps. When I was shown the amp I was to plug into (a black Kustom), I remember thinking I'm supposed to play through this leather sofa with speakers ? Seriously ?. I changed my mind rapidly, when dialing a sound was real easy and it sounded so good with the band. Only a couple of years later did I really understood what I played into. Forever learning

That poor bird looks like it went several rounds against a shredder and lost.
