| White Stripes... Haven't heard any WS but Vanlear Rose I am sorry i bought. While sweet Loretta sounds good, it's like they stuck her country voice inside a rock band. It sounds like two different styles at the same time, they don't fit together, weird sounding. N... | |
| I Hardly Listen to Music Anymore I started a similar post awhile back. My theory was all the background music everywhere we go was reducing peoples enjoyment of music. Meaning, the more you do something the less unique and interesting it becomes.While I still believe that to a ce... | |
| The music companies do something wrong Don't buy if it's too much. I've said it before, if they charged like $10 for a CD I think the record companies would be way ahead. I pass up a lot of cd's because they cost too much. I usually buy them when they are $12 or less, I rarely will pay... | |
| is this the best guitar ever It's good, but. It's kind of an exercise in speed up and down the scale. I get bored after awhile | |
| Vinyl playback is still a secret Well, a month ago I posted that I was going to play my old lp's again after not doing so for about 20 years. If I didn't really get off on it, I was going to sell them.I'm not going to sell them. You'll have to pry them from my cold dead fingers (... | |
| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Value. What is value? Different things to different people. For example, I like microbrew beer as opposed to the big National brands like Bud or Miller. To me, it is worth it to spend double or triple the price for a six-pack because I get that mu... | |

| best non-guitarist, guitar players are..? Paul McCartney is actually a very good guitar player, not just bass. | |
| Do you play an instrument/sing? I play the guitar, a Les Paul electric and a Picador acoustic, more enthusiasticly than good. I have been told I have good voice, but won't sing on stage unless I'm hammered, and then not so good. | |
| Jazz Recommendations Return to Forever, "Romantic Warrior." "No Mystery" is also very good. This is "good" jazz fusion. The players are Chick Corea - Keyboards etc., Stanley Clarke - Bass extraordinaire, Al Dimeola - Guitar, Lenny White - Drums, percussion. Man, these... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Probably Clapton for one that's still alive. Jonny Lang had potential, but his latest album is absolute crap IMO. Richard Thompson is always good. There's lots of good dead ones. | |
| A personal challenge Good for you. I quit last year. My foolproof method was to have a brain aneurysm. Spent close to two weeks in intensive care on morphine. Never even missed them. No craving when I got out either. This is, however, a fairly drastic method not recom... | |
| Bob Dylan: What do you folks thing about this? Scantilly clad women frollicking around you, and getting paid for it? This is something to be concerned about? | |
| Srangest ,most out there sounding music Captain Beefheart - "Trout Mask Replica." This is supposed to be one of the 100 best, whatever, according to Rolling Stone. I think it's really twisted, don't get it. I'll probably try to get through some of it again someday, but don't know why. H... | |
| Vinyl playback is still a secret AROC, when cd came out I abandoned vinyl and really haven't looked back until now (20+ years). When I first heard the Beatles on cd I liked the cd version better. I don't discount what those who prefer vinyl say, however, my experience when doing ... |
