I can't believe that Steve Miller and Deep purple are not already in the hall of fame. Not that there is anything wrong with those other nominated acts. Just wow. Especially Steve Miller....Wow. Saw him a couple months ago in Pittsburgh. Still touring, still awesome, still Steve. Gave me the chills ...

I've seen where some players have the power and attack in their fingers that allow them to run the frets from the digits. One of Steve's former bandmates had an approach that was nuts .......Agree A pick, however, has a lot more drive and drill speed and power .......Disagree...Drill speed? O.K. ma...

Need an 18" sub fast + a rant

Help I need an 18" sub that can handle 650 watts good fast and cheap. By Saturday 8-13. Need it to replace a blown ev dl-18 transducer from a sxa180 powered cab. What follows is pretty much a rant so skip it. I called ev and they are pretty rude to customers with discontinued products. I was to...

Many great bands mentioned here. Some names I thought I'd never hear again. Off the top of my head, there are a few missing from the list. Anyone remember the short lived FUNKENSTEIN? How about BOX. And although epic face melting jams are apparently "Not for everyone", I also miss The FLAM...

Dude, I'd way rather play music than turn a sign when I am told to. Or just about anything else for that matter. Sure the money's not great but if you are getting paid to do something you truly love to do then it isn't work is it? That is why if you don't want to play for what you are offered, then ...

Suggestion for schedule page.

Hello,
I was looking at the show schedule page and noticed tonight's shows are gone. The schedule is turning over sometime before 11:30. Is there a way that this could stay up for an extra day?
Thanks Ron for all you do for the music community.
Kelly.

It's not entirely his fault. There are several factors that are leading up to this minor miscalculation. 1. He is watching the lead guitar player who is only set up to do a 270 degree spin even though he claims he will do a 360 for the video. 2 He sees that the other 3 have already landed early beca...

Also, drink better beers. I swear I can drink an ocean of Yuengling and be alright the next day, but if Im stuck drinking some shitty beer like bud, milwaukee's best, or something like that, super-hangover. BTW Colton, you and I will have to get together. I am a lightweight though as I can only dri...

Anyone have a 12AX7 they hate?

My hartke 7000 has now burned up 2 preamp tubes. The first tube lasted like 20 years and the second one lasted maybe 20 seconds! I figured I may have a problem. After changing some noisy and swollen capacitors It might be fixed. Anyone have any tubes that sound real bad? I would hate to sacrifice a ...

In an ideal world,
Now would be a good time to be in the oil business or stop using oil.
Now would be a good time to protest about the government wasting all of our money.

Hawk, I really agree with you on both of your points. I don't know if buying less gas or trying to regulate it will really bring the price down, but It helps me to burn less.

Yes I will admit my point of view is more of an ideal than a real solution for todays screwed up economy. Also I realize that it is less than sensitive to those who are in a real financial pinch. I am aware of the problems many people face, but there are still ways around them. We were in the same b...

At the risk of being ridiculed, I offer my unusual take on the situation in hopes that someone will understand. The rising cost of fuel is a good thing! Before you start shooting just open your mind for a second. 1. It takes oil and effort to make oil and deliver it, and it makes a mess so there is ...

Hurricane Felix is coming!

Hey everyone, I don't know if anyone posted this yet (been real busy) but I saw it on the weather channel while flipping through. If we get 6 Hurricanes this year the 6th hurricane will be named Hurricane Felix.

It's about time!
