Is yours similar? By the way, I’m in my own top ten.

 

[GordonHowe]

Is yours similar? By the way, I’m in my own top ten.

I'm sure you are. As it should be.

As for great guitar players, I'm no expert. I know what I like.

Off the top of my head,

I know he's not on many lists, but I love Steve Jones. Absolutely love his elemental power riffs.

But hey, that's me.

The Texas Jam brings back a lot of memories for me from my high school and college years.....Mainly being drunk on Keystone Light, sweating my ass off in the Cotton Bowl in the middle of a Texas summer, and listening to heavy metal. I went to 2 of them.

Seemed like the lineup every year always had the Scorpions and Van Halen on the bill. Metallica was the best band I saw there. Right in their prime around the Master of Puppets-And Justice for All timeframe.

Solid. I’m sure it’s obvious by my selection what kind of music I like so I’m slightly biased.

My grandma loved Roy Clark! I don’t like country one bit more than she liked hard rock. But, we like what we like.

"We all like what we like."

What style do you play? And do you play out?

 

[GordonHowe]

I saw Zappa at Detroit's venerable, much loved Cobo Hall in 1982.

Great player. Great visionary. Apparently not a nice guy. Even to his kids.

Sorry to keep bringing those kind of things up.

I am able to shred. I have played out but not in several years although I am asked to from time to time. The two day headache is not very enticing anymore.

 

[GordonHowe]

Let's not get silly about it,

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Roy Clark was one of a kick ass guitarist

The volume, the booze, the scene or all three?

I have hearing loss, though not entirely because of being in bands. Didn't help.

The volume.

 

[GordonHowe]

The volume.

Well, it was all three for me. And then some.

But that's a story for another day,
