Thunderbird Club

The guitar player in Prayer Flags mostly uses a Coronado reissue. I thought it strange because he owns a ton of cool guitars, but that’s his main live guitar. Does work well for him, I suppose. My favorites of his are either his Jazzmaster or his 1984 Gibson Explorer with 3 P90’s, but he’s rad, so I’m not gonna tell him what t do :)
Yeah I never diss others players gear choices
 
Tours without Texas dates don’t count.
Speak for yourself, cowboy. :)
I do! But thanks to the powers granted to all Texans at birth, I also speak for all of Texas when I say this.

Sagan has suggested you 'get a dog'...

Ok, Sagan looks really irritated, despite the fact that he can’t read. Wonder who got him worked up like that?

Hank has calmed down a little, but look how dilated those pupils are. He’s not happy about all this rain keeping him indoors

He kneads (sic) a Cowboy Deadpool to play with.
 
Was about to say 'you'd be crackers to pay any more than $50 for one, because it would work for one guitar solo, in one song, and then it would get old very fast'.



If I were to think about it, I would have figured something like this exists - but seeing it is kind of unbelievable. I remember hearing a radio program years ago about eventual home-based holograms and the promoter of them was saying; "yes, just imagine - two prize-fighters in the room, duking it out right in front of you!" ... ahh... I don't think it will be two prize-fighters in your living-room..."

Had to poke him in the arse a couple of times so he'd turn around and look at the camera...

Hank's a lovely fella. You're just a meanie.

Meanie?! HOW DARE YOU!!! Hank is evil incarnate. Occasionally fun to have around, but that’s beside the point...

Hah. Hardly that interesting, although I really want to dive the Gowanus Canal. But I don't have a hazmat dive suit. It's one of the most toxic waterways in the country.

As a retired commercial diver I have dove in some pretty shotty places. Being in the Chicago area i once found myself having to dive on a travelling screen(clean/repair) in the CalSag river. When I climbed the ladder out the guys stopped me. The guys had to remove both a hypodermic needle that was stuck in the back of my gloveand unbenounced to me there was a condum damgling from my nose clearing device ( hard hat dive). I still get shivers from the condom. :vomit:

Lousy. Maybe it'll help to know that a great deal of our physical being is made of other organisms, like bacteria and parasites?
Then again, it might not.
Sorry.

:D
 
So...I picked up a 10 year old Epiphone thunderbird goth the other day (always wanted a T-bird). Only $150 because it was beat up a bit, though it plays and sounds great. I really disliked that black pickguard with the Celtic cross, so I experimented a bit. Sanded it down, threw a couple of coats of white spray paint on it. Then I picked up a can of clear "matte coat" spray paint to seal it. However, I must have not read some part of the directions, because the two paints interacted in an odd - but super cool way. Turned out like white cracked leather.
