Thunderbird Club

I dug The Stones up to Black and Blue. After that...........

Opening lyrics said it all - much more succinct as a teen declaration then than "hope I die before I get old"

Any love for The Cruel Sea / Tex Perkins / Beasts of Bourbon ???

The Beasts have always been a fave of mine and Perkins is a regular beast, the right one to front them. They're one of the few bands imho managing to surpass the original with their cover.. In this case 'Let's get funky'..

You are not alone. I traded my ebony 76 Bird for a cherry sunburst Les Paul Standard guitar. it was a good trade, but one I regretted almost immediately. I had to "settle" for my 77 Bird last year. It's the good kind of "settling" in my mind. Here is the best shot I can provide at the moment.

A great feeling indeed to play such an iconic instrument!! I now realize how much I have missed a Bicentennial all those years!!!
Very beautiful ebony Bird my friend!!!

Stones, eh ?

That is THE band that got me started playing guitar as a 14 y.o.. My parents got me this album after I bugged them almost incessantly after seeing an ad on TV, which to me was the coolest thing I saw back then. I fell in love with Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar, The Last Time, You can't always get what you want, Wild Horses and.... Jumpin Jack Flash. I became a huge Stones fan, learned to play in open G and listened to pretty much everything they did right up to the Love you Live and Some Girls era. After that, it became something else, at least to my ears.

If I would have to name my all-time favorite song, JJF is the one. It's a snarling, driving piece of music with an infectious chorus melody (hope I'm saying this right). Our band opens the show with JJF, it just puts us in the right mood, particularly the drummer. Oddly enough, I never cared for the original bassline, which I believe Keef played on a P, and play something more in the vein of what the bassplayer does in this version: ... JJF sounds great when that type of groove is played on a Thunderbird.

PS: I still have a hard time recognizing Jones and Jagger on those pics...

@TBird1958
Ran across this and was thinking of you, in case you don't already have a good bed for your Jackson bird...

I'd imagine you don't see these up for sale often.

Add says also fits a Gibson T-Bird, I wonder if a Jackson would fit in a Gibson case.

Hi,

I'm totally new here. I've been trying to post a thread about the possible purchase of an Epi T-Bird, but somehow I don't get to see the 'post new thread'button for this Forum Group. Do I have to become a member here somehow first or what? Any help is mucho appreciated!

Welcome to the best club on TB

I 'like' and support anyone's interest in music/artists even if they aren't my 'bag'. Musicians get little enuff encouragement and support as it is and during this non-performing time, may lose some of the venues, therefore support, we've had. That being said, anybody else like P.D.Q. Bach? I'm particularly a fan of his "1712[sic] Overture"and "Concerto for Horn and Hardart". Our concert band was going to do "Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion"at our spring concert-since cancelled.
There's also a piece titled "Concerto for Piano Versus Orchestra"

J.S. Bach, I love. Favorite classical composer. But I'm partial to Baroque.

...And I do love a good harpsichord!

I think the Queen is the only group member that can answer that question?? I don't think the headstock is as long on a Jackson so I would think it would fit, but really don't know.

I love the heaviness of the real Bach, but I enjoy the hell outta the musical 'jokes' that Peter Schickele does with PDQ Bach. I know that if our concert band had played the 2 PDQ Bach pieces we were gonna do at our now cancelled Spring Concert, most of the audience's reaction woulda been WT7? FWIW, I woulda been playing the string bass part on my(wait for it)67 THUNDERBIRD NR.

That's what my wife says. If she wants my opinion, she'll give it to me

Try this line:

"Would you like me to apologize or would you like me to explain why you are wrong?"

No Let’s Spend or Satisfaction? Garage band staples in my day.

Devo did Satisfaction better.

Actually, it is a case study in how to make a cover your own.

You made me watch that..I dig the '78 SNL version as well.Cheers!

I was able to break out the airbrush that I got for Christmas, this has been on my bench for a while. Now I can move forward with it and get it off my bench.

It was quite some time (a year maybe) before I realized that they were the same song.
