Re: Natural talent vs. hours of practice

Me when I tell someone I play guitar... https://i.imgflip.com/9w70pp.jpg Hahaha. Me too. I was the vocalist when I played out, so I mainly played rhythm and a few licks. I can't solo for shit. Since then, I've probably played only once in 10 years. I lost the desire. After 35+ yrs of touring/giggin...

Trustworthy, nice guy but knows how to crack down on bullshit (like bootleggers), no drama, gets audited but comes out clean, etc.

That's who I want!


So essentially a Kung Fu Jew? That's the guy I want too.

For some strange reason it really is. It's one of those weird movies like Roadhouse that should have sucked but was pretty good.

Re: This SANS MARS Crue is just... depressing

John always struck me as awkward on stage with Manson, Zombie, or the Crue. Not a big fan of his. Does he come from a session background? Seems better to not be seen. He moves like a guitar teacher . Alex Skolnik and Marty Friedman look awkward on stage in the same way. Dorky. He's a rich kid with ...

The video is odd. The Eddie guy they got was too tall or something. The whole thing felt off. But...I will admit the more times I hear this tune I kind of dig it. It's hella predictable but it kind of works for what it is.
