These pop lines are so bloody good, great to see that they are played live.
JT is just so likable, it would be good to go see one of his gigs but I do really like big venues.

If I were put in charge of a large guitar manufacturing company for a day I would make available three signature models.
A Kurt Cobain signature model, but it would be available as a LH version only.
A Jimi Hendrix signature line of all his guitar variations, all only available as LH versions apart from a RH black body version.
A Paul McCartney bass guitar line, but only available as LH models. maybe a RH model if enough players showed interest.

You would then be fired, business is about money not ideals.

This is a quote from another post that I'd like to discuss in depth. As it might turn out to be a lively subject, I thought it would be better to break it out into its own thread.
To cut to the chase, my opinion is that this is complete and utter BS. It's all part of the lie that many companies use to justify their anti-left bias.

I know Tom well and I know the companies he has worked for, I think it's disrespectful:
1. Calling him out like this.
2. Totally ignoring his experience
3. Not messaging him telling him you are posting this.

I like a band to make an effort, even if your look is looking like you haven't. I don't care if it's punk, country, whatever the genre - put on a show

Disagree, there's something tragic about a band who dresses up like rock stars but play the Dog and Duck.

A guitarist I know plays Gretsch, Burns Bison, Danelectro etc style guitars, and his rule when shopping for clothes is [i]'it has to match my guitars'[/i]
He has the most impeccable dress sense.

Get him to wear a US Army uniform with his Dano, if it's good enough for Hendrix
I'll be honest that 'Shock' thing is long way past it's sell by date, it looks a bit sad and desperate IMO, I like the idea of making an effort though.

It is £20 an hour around here, but if you pay for 5 lessons up front, i get a lesson free

So I pay for 5 lessons and you get the free one? Doesn't seem fair.
