hmmm, i can't find the not rush vids on youtube anymore. but they are still on our myspace page; https://myspace.com/notrushtribute/videos

Thanx for the kind words (except HHB, bastid). Chops of doom is not accurate, more like chops of malaise. And that's stike tearing it up on the Ratt tune from the posted wizard sleeves vid. I guess I have earned the poster child of frugal gear title, but i have gone thru some more than decent gear ( Newport, artist custom, Jackson pc1, Carr rambler, axe fx, gibsons, 50s & 60s fenders, etc) but none of it lasted. A lot of mid priced and cheap gear has gone by too, ha. I am still very happy w my Mesa mini recto ( bought new, you fukkers ;-) . As always, the best tools for the gig.

seems our gig on the 16th is not gonna happen, the club stopped communicating. wizard sleeves has a gig this friday may 2 in durham, and tentatively fri may 30 in raleigh. "dave and brooks" have a gig in greensboro fri the 23rd, but thats more a duotone thing. if nothing else pans out, maybe david barker can come out w/ the guitar for a photo op...? either that or i'll pop over to his house when he has it. i was just there sunday to check out THE LAST HAMER EVER™, as well as his sweet LP.

cool, we'll pass that thing around like a free crack pipe

didn't that belong to long-ago-banned-from-HFC spidey / joe?!?

steve, we have another date that is tentative, may 16 @ slims in raleigh. bob, nice job on the pretenders tune!

i used to have that cd somewhere, i should look for it.

found this sabbathy trippy polish stoner band on TGP last night; also digin' a bunch of recent downloads; clutch alice cooper w/ dick wagner & steve hunter (wore this vinyl out as a kid) twisted sister (just finished dee's book, which was great) HFC's own hedgehog & the fox miles (got on a miles ballad kick, love that vibe at the beach) new sco

absolutely.

Can't even begin to explain why, but I don't hate this. sorry chris, you are wrong.

sco & MMW are always at their best together; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAr8nTePQso i always mention the aristocrats when people say there isn't any good new music. this whole concert is cool, but this tune is my fave;

sabs 1970 (before the paranoid album came out, some of the lyrics are different) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clySTJtd81c maiden 1981 (i always prefered paul dianno)

not sure how the suhr modern neck feels, never tried one. but for me, it was a big revelation when i went from hamer shredder necks to jackson and ibanez, because of the flatter/wider fingerboard and the jumbo frets. something to consider. edit - charvel too

Have you tried changing it back to 4 high or 2wd by going into reverse when trying to switch? Back in my jeeping dayz this was a trick we would use to unstick the transfer case. yes, that usually works. might be the freezing temperature, gonna try it again mid afternnoon.

We got a little under a foot. did a 24 hr shift yesterday, the ambulance got stuck 3 or 4 times! just had classic rock radio at work, but listened to jay mohr's mohrstories podcast on the extended drive home (my truck is stuck in 4WD low, max speed 30 mph).

same here, kinda (mesa mini rectifier, older mesa vertical 2x12). i use this for gigs and playing at home (photo as it sits in my kitchen). technically, my "practice" amp (that i leave at wizard sleeves HQ) is a randall RG8040 40th annv 1x12 combo, a raspy solidstate metal monster, i've even used it on a few gigs. both it and the mesa 2x12 are loaded w/ my fave spkrs, eminence man-o-war's...

WHY didn't they put a wraparound on the jr???

i went thru an Ibanez phase this year, i'm totally into the shredder necks and cheap price tags. i ended up only keeping the reverse headstock grey one (currently undergoing stike-izing as we speak); on a whim traded the blue ibby for a strat, and picked up a cool charvell desolation (LP style w/ shredder neck & real floyd); prolly the only keepers are the grey ibby and my long suffering duotone.

got this print, now hanging in the livingroom;

are there any factory hardtail daytonas?
