I'm posting this because there's some Basses on there. Les Claypool for one. [url="http://www.blender.com/articles/default.aspx?key=10046&pg=0"]http://www.blender.com/articles/default.as...=10046&pg=0[/url]

That's the way to do it ... light the blue touchpaper and retire smartly.

From the section on Angus Young:

[i]While playing a club in Australia, Young, SG in hand, tripped on a chord and fell to the ground during a guitar solo. Not to look foolish, he began spinning frantically in a circular seizure that later became his trademark move, “the spasm.”[/i]

OK guys, what do we think? Is that:
a) A typo
Typical modern illiteracy
c) A very clever, witty piece of wordplay?

Edit - And would you look at what the software did to my ""!

tripping on a chord, in the time-honoured tradition of Chuck Berry's duckwalk.

No Rory Gallagher Strat? Outrageous

Didn't he also use a Danelectro at one point.

Utter tosh! Most of those guitars were completely stock ..GUH! Who wrote that nonsense.


How about a guitar that no one else plays? Brian May's is far more recogniseable than pretty much all of those in that poor attempt at reporting.

Could have just used pictures. Can't be bothered mucking about with stupid video clips.

Ha, the one of Prince playing has been removed. Now THERE'S a surprise.

[quote]Presley was known for strumming his guitar brutally hard during live shows. To combat this, his road crew brought multiple sets of strings to all gigs.[/quote]
I wonder if anyone has ever though of bringing spare strings to their gigs

Not live and only for recording My Generation but he broke all the strings and ended up using a Jazz with flats for the final take. This was before he invented rounds.

He should have called Elvis - he had loads of spare strings

How come Eric Clapton with his 'blackie' and jaco with his fretless jazz DIDN'T make it into the top 5? And why Jimmy Page with a double neck SG? Surely people picture Jimmy with a Les Paul? Or is it just me?
