OK - So the pickups models arent quoted exactly, and the wood specs arent exact - I mean were you ever a luthier? But its near enough to illustrate my point.

Are you talking about coil reverb units?

On another note, what do you think of the BFG? I was thinking of getting one of them, but I have been advised from 'other' sources that they probably wont retain their value very well (I still want one tho ;-)

This is what I talked about much earlier.
The most underrespected band in the world, Kingston Wall.
Sorry about the bad quality. Just listen to.. well, everything! The drumming, the guitar, the bass, the feeling! 

That's some good stuff. 

I have never heard that before!

Is like GNR/Floyd/Hendrix/Pearl Jam...

Reminded me of this for some strange reason:

This is a band from Austin Texas. I know of them because the man behind the band used to front the blues/reggae/rock group Big Sugar, one of Canada's best bands during the 90s. Their live show blew the fucking roof off of places. I have not seen a better show than them. He broke up the band in 2004 and moved to Texas.

Of his current band, he said �We�re trying to find the common ground between punk, metal and
gospel. I like to think we sound like Motorhead just got the job of backing up John Lee Hooker.�

This is obviously not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like earblasting rock with some blues in it, you will probably like this. 

funky stuff there, Bambuz!
Sounds more like a three of a kind! 

I'm looking forward to seeing them live this month

That's the video for Big Sugar's breakthrough video. In Canada we have rules that a certain percentage of music played on music stations has to be of Canadian origin, but as a guy who hates mainstream music I'm glad of it. If a band becomes just plain old successful (ie, hits the US market, and most Canadian bands that have done so I'd feel dirty to even mention by name), we will hear them anyway. Oh god will we hear them. But there are plenty of good bands that we hear because of these rules.

Normally I like the more intellectual and depressing stuff, but I grew up on Big Sugar, and they just rocked so hard, and had so much talent for performance, improv, and just plain music, that they are definately one of Canada's best bands to me (and many others). 

that's simple music

... you may now all be jealous. 

doesn't ring a bell. 

... you may now be jealous (or more likely you won't have heard them and don't give a damn). 

THEN you'd ALL be jealous (or I'll kill you!) 

without John Henry Bonham ... 

Not Joking - Was big news!

Theres not much on YouTube yet but I found this!!! 

 

I bantered with David Grohl at a Queen of the Stone Age gig a while back. He sat at our
table during the opening act (VAST). I have a feeling Shambler will top us all on this score, though. 

so it was more like, he comes up, asks, 'mind if I take this chair', and I said, 'sure'. You bitches should still be jealous, though. 

I wouldnt argue with him!!

(Jealous) 

that's helps my ego. I do know one famous musician, personally. But I think he is overrated, writes his songs in a way that is bait for Rolling Stone music critic types, and is a jackass in
real life, so I wont mention his name. 

No....Shambler has no interesting celebrity tales. 

one time, before they were really famous

so THERE!!!
