Worth watching.Strangely, I've never seen "Spinal Tap". I'm familiar with a lotta the 'bits', but never caught it A to Z.
I think (hope) there was a lot of posturing in the lyrics and style, but they definitely weren't afraid to be hated. But yes, they are touring again. Lee Ving looks like a grandfather now so not sure he can sell the aggression anymore.Wow, really? I have a very distinct memory of them. I just saw the doc "Decline of Western Civilization by Penelope Spheeris when it came out and loved their aggressive performance ("let's have a war- we can blame it on the middle class" - very Reagan) in it. (saved for last in the doc to show the most hard-core version of west-coast punk) I bought the LP and it was sitting in front of my record player when I had a party. A fellow woman artist friend saw it and read the lyrics (not permissible here) and she confronted me saying... "you like this?" I just bought it and hadn't looked at the lyrics... unfortunately very misogynistically graphic and I assume "ironically posing"... but after that experience I put the LP in the trash the next day. Joking or posing - it was not cool.
I always thought that they were posers in the punk scene more than punkers. To me, it was just an act.I think (hope) there was a lot of posturing in the lyrics and style, but they definitely weren't afraid to be hated. But yes, they are touring again.

sensible shoes...A little GTG flashback...............First song of the night.
A classic 80s hit from The Nasty Habits @ THE STAGE at Quil Ceda Creek Casino! | By Sabrina Peterson | Facebook
It was an act and mostly funny/well played... however, extreme/violent misogynistic lyrics should never be considered funny.I always thought that they were posers in the punk scene more than punkers. To me, it was just an act.
Obviously the universal sign that the bass needs to be louder. Way louder when held that high.Sound check follies.View attachment 7002095
Nice shots! The Cataldo really stands out visuallyA few shots from last night, I played my Cataldo 7enderbid and my Studio Bird made it's stage debut.

The Cataldo sounded pretty good, the Gibson was fantastic, that bass just "hit' perfectly last night. I've never been a huge fan of TB Plus pickeps, but with this bass and SIT Power Steels they're simply awesome.

well it is a Cataldo...plays and sounds beautiful as well...

Are you gonna buy it?Saw the rebuild episode on the one with the jet engine display.
Interesting. Goes to show how in the right hands, a Tbird+ equipped Bird is no slouch.have to say, last night the Gibson was the bomb, the Cataldo is a bit easier to play for me because that cheap Jazz neck is so skinny, sonically tho, the Studio Bird ruled the night.
