Punk toothbrushing rocks Sure I've also had to endure that bastard tooth brushing version of Blitzkrieg Bop. Memories of those Vtech Leap-pads or something similar. Double edged sword like. On one had it's cool that there's more generations getting exposed to that stuff. On the other hand, it's hard not to pity the generations that hear the Ramones and think "fucking hell, that's a weird version of the toothbrushing song. Didn't know they had smartphones in the 70s."

Tom 13867 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Paul Gilbert is releasing a Christmas album. Sounds fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1236 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Paul Gilbert is the only cunt I'd forgive for trying to plug a Christmas album in early November. Mate of mines recently got back into playing guitar and asked me the other what guitar albums he's missed since our teens. Without thinking I said Gilbert's "Fuzz Universe" and I've not heard from him for a few weeks. I like to think he liked it but it's more likely he heard the title track and decided on a different hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13867 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Fuzz Universe is mint tbh Aye I don’t really think there’s a good time to plug a Christmas album if it’s going to be full length. Bonamassa put a decent one out like & Bob Dylan’s effort was “something” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fucking loves that record more than me. And not through my over playing either, first time I'd put it on since he was born he just downed tools and stared at the stereo with this massive cheshire cat grin. 19 minutes ago, Tom said: christmas....

Tom 13867 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yeh the Bonamassa one is just blues standards with a couple of licks thrown in so he gets away with it. I’ll be forgiving of Gilbert I reckon purely because I know he’s going to nail it. It’s class that your son likes that record, hopefully he starts playing some day!

Blastronaut 1236 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 As phenomenal a player as Bonamassa is he's just not really my cup of tea tbh. But if any of my kids heard him and said "I want to do that" I'd be happily blasting his Christmas tune in the car on the school run all year round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34541 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Can't remember if I've mentioned this on here before, but anyone watched any of Tom Bukovac on YouTube? Ridiculous Nashville session player who got into doing short lesson videos in the first lockdown and has stuck at it and built a decent following. Some of his lessons are great. He's just released a guitar instrumental album on Bandcamp which is class. Anyway, the below is not an example of him at his finest or anything, more just a link to his channel which is well worth checking out. He's basically The Big Lebowski with a guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34541 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Jack Ruch is also well worth a look. Really good lesson content too. Edited November 10, 2021 by Gemmill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4224 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 So the makers of my favourite metal album from last year have just released a "live" album they did as a stream during covid. Anyway, highly recommend the album, highly recommend the live show, probably not to the taste of anyone else on the board but they're posting "metal" in the music thread so you never know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my usual cup of tea but don't mind them. Got a few good mates really into that scene. Plus they're local so fair play to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34541 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Did you see someone walked out of their Camden shop with a private stock PRS yesterday? Just stuck it up their jumper or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34541 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Ah no it's been nicked. They've published the serial number and a picture of the suspects and are appealing to the public to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38786 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 So, I’m sure you lads have been waiting with baited breath for an update on Fist Jnr’s progress twiddling strings. He’s now nailed the Seven Nation Army that he asked his teacher about, but, more importantly (to me, anyway) he’s been discovering guitar bands of his own accord. I had a chat with him the other day and he showed me bands he’s found that he likes - Hendrix, Nirvana, Stevie Ray ( via Hendrix), The Stooges, and Nick Cave. He’s 11. I nearly wept with pride 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1236 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Mental that only of them thought to wear a mask. Hope they get caught, if only for having bad enough taste to nick a PRS. I'd imagine a chain like guitarguitar are insured for this sort of shit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
