QuoteDandelionPowderman This one I have one of those too! Lots of tone capability with that thing. Our front man plays so loud though, the deluxe just can't cut through. Sounds really terrific with any of the ES 3XX guitars.

Quotesdstonesguy Of course the Stones are special in that they are still at a high point in the game. We have talked about a few here who may have lost their chops, but folks still go to see. "Legend" can be debated (like Most Allison should be, but isn't really)...but who do we have left (even if we disagree they are a legend)? The Rolling Stones Chuck Berry Jerry Lee Lewis

Quote24FPS Quoterob51 Good musician and singer but I can do without the personality. Too loud for my books. I worked with him once. Outside, rolling up in the limousine he was all flash and Whoo Whoo. Once you get him inside he's actually a quiet, thoughtful person. And a hell of a piano player. Spot on!

Get yourself a Fender Telecaster made in Mexico then have some Seymour Duncan pickups installed. If you dare replace the volume, tone, pickup selector switch and the caps.

All we are experiencing is the progression of time and culture. Rock n Roll has been around in some iteration since the early 1950's. Gregorian Chants were the rage at one time but they too have been regulated to their chapter in history. Time doesn't even wait for Rock N Roll man.

QuoteFrom4tilLate I think the main thing about Keith is that when he became an incorrigible drunk around 1980, he developed (or revealed) a MASSIVE ego. He likes to give Jagger down the road about ego and it's utterly hypocritical of him to call ANYBODY else an egotist.
