beerdragon Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'm posting this because there's some Basses on there. Les Claypool for one.

Happy Jack Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) 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 ""!

SJA Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 tripping on a chord, in the time-honoured tradition of Chuck Berry's duckwalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 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. FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Could have just used pictures. Can't be bothered mucking about with stupid video clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 [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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was before he invented rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumbo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) 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?
