The Pete Way one is salutary reading, underlines the resilience of the human body I guess.

Tarantula - Pendulum

The Spider and Me - King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard

Uncle Sam's on Mars - Hawkwind

No Butts it's got to be Butter.

Small Hours - John Martyn. Later - Clockworks by Meshuggah

You Sir are a master of the understatement😀😀😀😀

Seen them on Reverb, winced and moved on. Do look well made though. Imagine there'll be customs interest when it ships from Colombia.

Tears of a Clown. (Several Notable examples amongst heads of state)

Though Vai's stuff with Zappa was fantastic.

Bummy's to tight (to mention). Simply Red

That was actually Emperor Joseph of Austria talking to Mozart. Must admit though, much as I admire the technique of the likes of Satriani, Malmsteen for example the mad widdling leaves me cold. Love/adore Allan Holdsworth beyond all measure though.

Done free of charge on a whim. According to legend in 1 (or 3) takes + 1 of the Studio Monitors caught fire. Brevity of the solo certainly left one wanting just a little bit more. Whilst on the subject of tribute players - during the interval of last year's Cricket World Cup Final, one of the Test Match Special Commentary Team played an awesome version of Eruption. Did anyone else here catch it ? Made the very mediocre guitarist doing interval music cringe a bit I reckon.

Though his tone on the Beat It solo was down to a Hartley Thompson Amp "hot-rodded" by his friend Allan Holdsworth (who was an inveterate tweaker/tinkerer).

There was an attempt at this a good few years ago, a thing called the Finial. Apparently sounded awful. Maybe latter-day processing improvements make this better.

Or someone from Meshuggah.

Yes Today all my troubles seemed so far away.

A late friend of mine called this sort of music "wimp ditties" 😀

Golden age is surely a bit of a myth, just that no-one remembers the dross. Same with Telly etc.

Certainly the case, the alarming thing was how swiftly it would change due to relatively minor temp fluctuations. Maybe they should have considered Titanium or Invar. Main reason I got it was cos it looked great. As a Lefty I even had to play it upside down.

Sold mine in 1992, wish I'd kept it.

Now it's time for a parfitt ending.

Seriously tho was mighty impressed by the Tony Bennet collaboration. Some of her own stuff annoyingly catchy (Poker Face)
