[GonePlaid]

September is a really fun song to play - for me. (It’s actually interesting how much the tempo varies in the original)
But I wouldn’t think of spinning the album.

I enjoyed listening to it live at least 4 times-on a double bill with Chicago.

 

[GonePlaid]

Kind of a Green Day here in Seattle.....

(That could be a band name!)

"Seattle"? Like "Chicago"?

PBR used to be a good beer-probably b4 most of y'all were born.

And cigarettes used to be good for you.

 

[GonePlaid]

Yeah, I won that arm wrestle. Then I managed to put away a Rib Eye steak ‘on the bone’.

You have my "sympathies".

Did you eat the bone, too?

 

[Gaolee]

Not bad but really doesn't do much for me, especially the 80's type production.......I had no idea when it came out until I just looked it up, pegged it pretty good, I hate 80's production, especially triggered drums, when kicks started sounding like syncopated click tracks I was out.

Hitting the kick like that is a challenge to get solid. It might be a plastic beater hitting tight heads as opposed to triggered. It is processed for sure, and I can live without that.

If you cauterize your tastebuds the PBR will be fine and you can save some money. Come to think of it, I would have thought the PBR would have done that already.

Strohs, fire brewed smoooooth.

If it's an Aussie bone, it'd prolly kill ya.

Detroit River water

Same LP - different song. A very popular song, but just too 'easy listening' for my ears.

That song was an awful, overplayed earworm when I was in high school. It hasn't got better. I vote for The Chain, too.

Funny thing is that as overplayed as Stairway to Heaven is, it reminds me of a certain girl and is ok.

 

[Gaolee]

Just like everything else in Oz.

Was there are particular value of the .022 cap that you used for your Goth? I see some listed as 200v, 400v, and 630v.

I’d have to check and get back to you on that. But IIRC I used a tiny cheap ceramic cap, so low voltage. But I was messin with orange drops also. I’ll open it up and find out for sure, plus I’ll take a photo. Stay tuned.

Yes, the '80s production is a given. I posted it because of his playing, post BB&A. He was masterful as a guitarist/stylist till the day he passed.

Gave it a good gnawing

This is the thing.., as BL of TSC's, I invite Kirsten & Zach to feel free to interject what they would like to learn/play. Once he joined, Zach's 1st pick of Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was a no briner - a really cool KA song. (tipping her hat to Chrissie Hynde) ...but Dreams?....

Pickup output is normally under 1 volt, so you can go with the lowest voltage you find. Higher voltage cap just mesns it can withstand ghe higher voltage, but that increases size and cost.
Type doesn’t much matter so long as it’s not polarized (electrolytic).

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

they kicked off with “Medieval Overture” from Romantic Warrior….
he only played electric on the first two…
Ampeg stuff…

then onto the UR…
I don’t own rights to this music.

encore was a smoking rendition of Chick Corea’s “Spain”….

My friend saw Jeff Beck Group in the very first big festival in Finland called "Ruisrock" in 1971. He told that they watched the band assemble on stage. "Why Jeff went behind the drums?" "There's another Jeff on guitar now!"

Cozy Powell and Jeff Beck did look a lot alike then.
