Thunderbird Club
I posted this video a little bit ago asking about the pickups, but the bass they're attached to is a Polish-made Thunderbird style bass that's pretty nice looking itself.

"throwin' the goat"?
Not pickin' up what yer' layin' down, Michi-bro.
Yeah man Yeah!!!!HELL yeah!!! I'm buyin' THAT record!!!
Interesting how that bass tone came out of a Marcus Miller Jazz...
Post 84025 in reference to Haeussel pups. I googled the Maruszczyk Phoenix bass
IMHO Humans NEED music and will go great lengths to have it, it's in our blood.
This said, the Walmart mentality of "I want it now and I want it cheap or free" and William Shockley's invention of 1948 has led us to this;
Boo!
I've heard Geddy say that too. I think that it is part of an evolving industry. Talent/Idol shows are an efficient means of finding the next pop star that can be operated for a few years making money for the industry (not necessarily "the star").
I think that there remains an underground means for bands to come up. It worked for Metallica, it worked for Greta Van Fleet, etc. Recall that Rush came up without any support from radio (except one station in Ohio) and the media (Dave Grohl pointing at Rolling Stone at the RnRHOF induction).
I have read a couple band biographies, and one item that really struck me was that Rush spent all their earnings from touring on improving their show and tour (but all of the books have some flavour of the same thing). Rush (the three musicians) didn't really earn any money (let alone rock star money) until after Moving Pictures - more than 10 years of touring as a band to that point and already headliners. I am struck by how difficult it is to "make it" in the music business. You have to work hard constantly and consistently over a very long period. And that alone probably washes out a lot of young bands.
Said with tongue in cheek. Many are quick to call anything with loud crunchy guitars and bass a Led Zep ripoff.
IMHO, Rock died when people started "throwin' the goat" at Britney Spears
I actually like Britney Spears.
Some can't get past genre, but I firmly believe that a good song is a good song, regardless of genre.
Look at some of the covers that have been done of pop tunes. For example:
Duran Duran did covers of old Motown songs.
And this is precisely how we got the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin...
Perhaps it is the old fart in me coming out (or maybe just another way that I am different), but I care little about genre these days. I just look for good songs.

LOL - speaking of throwin the goat, this band is to Metal as Britney Spears is to Rock...IMHO, Rock died when people started "throwin' the goat" at Britney Spears
Throwin’ the horns!
Never heard it as throwin the goat... it doesn’t even make sense though I do understand the goat to be part of Satanic imagery. It more relates to the pentagram than to the goat horns.
