Are Black Ravioli products sold in the US?
Al dente is the preferred state for use. Otherwise, they may be squashed under weight of amp.  
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
"All 20 somethings think all good musicians are irrelevant." Like many things, such a statement isn't true. It's just 20 something musicians and very few 20 something non musicians who do. "But I wouldn't put Nugent in the top 1000 guitarists." ...

onhwy61- all the players listed are great-Rick Derringer imm ediately brings to mind the incomparable Johnny Winter. I’ve posted this before- A real R&R guitarist has to make Johnny B Goode their own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rervO...

Well, the thread is totally off topic, but what the heck... "saw Joe Pass in the mid 70s" wolf_garcia-Yes! My guitar teach and I saw Joe at the local college in the late 70's. I wish I could have seen Barney Kessel- an original "wrecking crew" ...

  "I don't generally go along with the concept of 'best': larsman- I agree. Musicianship isn't the same as the fastest sprinter or athletic endeavor.   It is however, interesting to hear an opinion from a polarizing guy as Ted, who does have cr... 
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
I'll keep the thread off topic  since the mentions are cool artists. This is just breakfast time filler anyway. John  Mclaughlin IS one of the original guitar "shredders" before the term "shred." As a guitar wanker, always hypnotized listening /...

 " Maybe take a journey to the center of your mind." bigtwin- +1 Amboy Dukes LP's fortunately are always in the 3/$10 bin, but I haven't found an unmolested copy yet. I have the debut and "Call of the Wild".

"For me Eddie was best rock guitarist long before Ted said so…" johhnycamp5- I knew from the first time I heard VH's cover of "You Really Got Me" in 1978 that EVH was different and, unique. After seeing VH, it was confirmed. Ted is so polarizing... 
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
The  title implies one of those silly, chest pounding, insert the name threads, BUT is clarified with Theodore talking about Eddie. Since Whitefish1175 decided to jack the thread with something completely UNRELATED, I'll pile on to it. Along with...

"Blues Breakers/Cream era Clapton" edcyn- can't remember exact articles, but I've read many over the years of 70's era players citing the "Beano" BB album as their inspiration.    You probably know those Clapton BB runs were essentially juiced ...

What EVH represents is the R&R guitarist who came out of the dying Classic Rock  period(which doesn't go beyond mid 70's or so, IMO) and introducing  things truly revolutionary that just about ALL Rock guitarist moving forward, acknowledge. I... 
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
Sigh...oh dear My post misunderstood. My fault since I always think most will " get it" I believe a typical 20 something would see Mr Nugent as musically irrelevant. That all that  was meant. Good grief! For those who aren't guitar players/admi...

stereo5- I imagine if one’s beliefs followed a certain orange haired,red capped genuis, he might be? I just admired his playing and knowledge/experience as a R&R geetar player in the 70’s. He is the real deal as far as R&R musicianship. ... 
Finally found my amp/integrated for Martin Logan Summit X electrostatics
If I ever see a pair of Summit X's for a good price, I'm gonna grab them. Really want some Soundlabs, but impossible to find a pair at a price I want to pay. Currently using Theos with great results. Mine are tube powered.  
How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables?
"you could have bought a fully spec'd Aries 3." As if one is one the shelf waiting to be purchased.  Useless post. ozzy62-a couple of mods will still keep you ahead of buy something new at the same expense as far as performance. That of course, ...
