Chris2112 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I've got a pick that Stuart Hamm used to play "Flying in a blue dream" when I saw him with Joe Satriani. That was a show and half. Quote
7string Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Cool picks Clarky! I thought you might like to see these that I've grabbed over the years. I never used to wear my glasses to a gig, so I was useless at catching picks for a few years! Clockwise: Billy Sheehan from a Steve Vai tour Marco Mendoza when he played with Thin Lizzy Jason Becker (bought this one on eBay) Kip Winger (solo gig) Phil Collen (Def Leppard gig) who uses metal picks. Difficult to photograph as it's etched, but you can just make out "Leppard" in the middle. Edited July 10, 2009 by 7string Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) i have a rob trujillo pick from when he played with Ozzy. a Rex Thunderbolt pick, a Zakk Wylde (proper one not the ones they give away in strings/ pickups), A Gary Moore one that he used to play parisienne walkways, and fakey give away mick thomson(slipknot) and kerry king ones i think that's it! I'm currently in the throes of moving house but i'll post a pic (K!) when i find the camera! Edited July 11, 2009 by dudewheresmybass Quote

I have a kirk hammett pick somewhere, but i forget where it is... I also have a load of cool zakk wylde picks but they came with some guitar strings Edited July 11, 2009 by budget bassist Quote
beerdragon Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Does anyone on here play with a metal pick? must play havoc with the s/plate. not to mention the strings!. Quote
Clarky Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 [quote name='sturm' post='537953' date='Jul 11 2009, 04:18 PM']heavy metal + slipknot in the same sentence? [/quote] Quote from Wikipedia: "Slipknot is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, formed in 1995." Heavy metal, to me, at least is a pretty broad description that encompasses most forms of loud, overdriven guitar-based rock. I grew up in the 70s when Deep Purple were considered heavy metal and I very much doubt that the heavy metal yoots of today would dare be seen carrying a copy of 'Made in Japan'. I used to be in death/thrash metal band and Slipknot were not a million miles from some of our stuff. Quote

Eight Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I've got a few, but the only one I can be 100% sure of it's authenticity, is a Dimebag Darrell pick that I actually got hit by at a show. Damn near took my eye out. Quote
Clarky Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 [quote]Damn near took my eye out.[/quote] That was 'f*cking hostile' Groan, I'll get me coat Quote
budget bassist Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I'm jealous... i wish i could have seen dimebag live Edited July 11, 2009 by budget bassist Quote
thebeat Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 The only famous pick i have is from Christy Moore...neither bass nor very rock, is it? I also have an autographed Chirsty Moore set list, complete with Christy doodle, which is also not very rock I feel inadequate. Quote
