| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Ah, the abusive lifestyle of rock musicians. I guess it comes with the territory sometimes, but you just gotta keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't catch up with the guys you care about. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Bdp,Gatton holds a special place in my heart. What a player! His name brings a funny story to mind:It may have been in the 1970s or 1980s at Fat Tuesday's (a club in NYC) that our group saw him play. On one song, Gatton tuned his guitar by ear whi... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Actually my bad. Faulty memory, I guess.I just checked and saw that McVie played with the BB as early as 1964. Clapton was in and out during 1965-1966, so they did overlap. I thought I recalled that Jack Bruce played bass on "Beano", but he was in... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Tostado,McVie started with the Bluesbreakers just as Clapton left the band (in July, 1966). As far I can tell, they never actually played together. That's certainly not definitive, but, based on what I've been able to find, I don't think McVie cro... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know I've only made it thru the first 15 minutes, but, so far, I'm lovin it. I'll try to finish it today.Onhwy,Great list. I'd have guessed that John McVie would have had the best list(Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Welch, Lindsey Bucki... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Bdp Re: The BandAnother way to state your observations (particularly Clapton's view) is that The Band's greatest admirers were often high profile rockers that had simply their lost interest in rock, preferring The Band's blend of roots styles. It'... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Map,I merely pointed out that Buddy & co are often cited as the original power trio, not that I'd choose them. In the context of the time, I get the argument. Given the music of their day, The Crickets were probably a lot closer to a power tri... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Jfant Re: the first power trioMany say CreamSome argue for Buddy Holly and the CricketsFrom my perspective, it's probably Johnny Kidd and the Pirates (ca 1962)I don't think there's a definitive answer | |
| Kandance Springs...Live From Daryl's House Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Another Best sounding room I've bought equipment in both stores. I used to live in West Orange, NJ and was a customer at AC even before Hart sold it to John (dating myself, I guess). I remained a customer after the store changed hands. I got my original Quicksilver 8417s fr... | |
| AudioKinesis Swarm or JL Audio F112 Pair? I've never used a Swarm, but I have tried to "knock off" the idea with a pair of Rythmik subs and the pair of smaller Velodynes that I used prior to upgrading to the Rythmiks.The four sub set-up reduced some "bloat" in the octave above 70ish hz (b... | |
| Audio out to RCA input on new Sony TV's? Per RL, above:There are devices available that can take an HDMI signal and churn out an RCA connectable signal. Give Google a try, they're usually about $25-$50....He's right, these are out there, but....I'd advise you to avoid this route, at leas... | |
| Good bass test tracks on vinyl The Hunter by Jennifer Warnes and The Bright Mississippi by Allen Toussaint are both examples of good music with well recorded bass. Neither will approach 18hz, but - beyond a pipe organ - no acoustic instrument really does.For electronic music, y... | |
| Anything similar to Bose Cinemate 120 system? If you're looking for a two-piece (multi-channel soundbar plus sub) system, Sony's version sounded surprisingy good to me when I heard it at a local boutique. I didn't get a model # or price, though.Sonos makes their version of this scheme, too. I... | |
| Recommendations to a small room setup Your taste for EDM might limit your choices, if it's really a significant part of your musical diet. The MMGs are an excellent speaker for that space, but probably less than optimal for music that relies upon bass impact in the sub 60 hz region. B... |
