Re: Ghost -15 minutes of FAME officially over ! MSG tonight in 2025

Trying to figure out if this is a clever way to say ‘they’ve clearly gone beyond flash-in-the-pan 15-minutes-type famous to proper MSG-and-Tonight-Show fame’, or if it’s a stupid way to say blblblblblblblblbl.

Re: Matt Sorum’s book - WTF?

My favourite encounter with him was at the Fender NAMM party one year he was standing all alone right by a Gretsch Drums poster of himself. My first thought was ‘Oops is someone taking a photo of him by his poster, am I in the way?’ but nah he was just standing there waiting for anyone to recognise ...

Re: Joe Biden body double

https://youtu.be/Fyg7zHurf-M?si=nxb9lIM3i6RQL5oB I saw a video that the hacker group ‘Anonymous’ made about this about 3 years ago. Crazy that now mainstream media is talking about it. I figured back then maybe it’s possible but probably bs. Now I’m kind of not so sure though. Seems plausible What ...

Re: Did you go to the Van Halen 3 tour?

That story reminds me of when VH went on Stern to announce the new singer and some woman called in and said that she had met Gary after an Extreme show and intimated they had fucked. I’m sure it was a plant from management to try to subvert the impression that the new fruity prancing VH singer was ...

Re: Did you go to the Van Halen 3 tour?

I did. It was the only time they ever toured Australia (that one-off festival to promote some biker film doesn't count) so that was my only chance to see them. They really couldn't give a fuck about touring the world, those guys.

Re: Billy Corgan pissed off at people: "Most people don't even recognize my contributions as a guitar player"

Oh yeah, I interviewed Corgan years ago for a guitar mag and I figured I’d let him talk about guitar stuff, and I cited a few examples of things I thought were innovative. It was a great chat, very positive good-mood Billy. I understand not everybody gets THAT Billy.

Re: Dump Shithole

If an Australian believes something batshit-crazy, even they themselves are aware that it's just an opinion and we can all tell each other we're full of shit and move on with our lives Does the name Pauline Hanson ring any bells? Well having grown up with conservative parents, one of whom even vote...

Re: Dump Shithole

I just spent ten minutes or so on the Conservative subreddit. They just straight up don’t believe in any of it. No quid pro quo. No witness tampering. No malfeasance of any kind. They just straight up don’t fucking believe a word of it. They’re not embarrassed because they’re too stupid to be. I di...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Just picked this up from NAMM. Buddy Blaze 7-string prototype #1. Floyd Rose 7, DiMarzio Crunch Lab and LiquiFire pickups. The neck is pitched back slightly so you can pull up on the bar without requiring a big rout behind the bridge. The neck is very comfortable, not too thin, not too fat, and beau...
