Now THAT is cool!

This prick changes his birthday every month. Disregard.

Dang. What kind of back room dealing went into this acquisition?

Ask and thou shalt receive! Here's the entire jam with L Nutter and WBS#5 on it: Takes about 3 minutes to gel, then it's off to the races. At one point Nutter had every available boost/overdrive/distortion engaged. I'm sure Bil was smiling.

New Rub sizzle reel that prominently features WBS#5:

Recordings from last Sunday's session are up: https://archive.org/details/TheRubLiveAtTheThroneRoomChicago8242014 WBS#5 is the one panned slightly to the left on Trak 4 (give it about 3 minutes to get going), Trak 6 and Trak 8.

Yeah, I really hope mc2 is joking. Even "pick" is misspelled in their fucking clever tagline!

Nah, you had the right idea. I was a sweaty mess....even more than usual! Glad you could make it. "Stranglehold" and "What Is and What Should Never Be" teases are always welcome! The WBS#5 really brought out the "rock" in all of us. I'm sure Bil was smiling.

Not on me. But it was fuggin' hot, man. Dripped my DNA allover the WBS#5. I'm actually impressed that the guys in the core band are all on board with the NSOS rule. Can't control what the guests do.

The WBPS#5 is here, and it's a CLUB! Looking forward to getting weird with it on Sunday!

Any idea how many were made with Kahlers?

Yeah, if I could get it in time for that, awesome. Another guaranteed public appearance!

Never seen a Kahlered one before. How many of those were made?

Peter Frampton Throws Fan’s Cell Phone During Concert http://ultimateclassicrock.com/peter-frampton-throws-cell-phone/

Ghastly.

Again, "on top" is a relative term. Take Rival Sons, for example. Several high-quality albums into their career--quality that in the past would have made them worldwide superstars--and on their last trip through the States, tix were $15-$20 to see them at small clubs. Which I thought was fantastic, as IMO that's the only way to see a show, especially by a band of their caliber. But they can't be raking in stacks of cash from their record sales and concert grosses to be able to afford private planes and big mansion houses. Talking to them after the Detroit show, they seemed perfectly content with their lot in life. As long as they can keep doing what they're doing, I don't care if they ever become cultural icons, and apparently, nor do they.

Exactly. Guitar rock is still out there, but I think the days of the guitar god and the guitar-based band flying around on a Zeppelin-esque jet could well be over.

Better yet, create a cult of personality over there and help make Mike a millionaire. Does Matte Henderson charge for his shilling abilities? Perhaps he can be retained in a consulting capacity.

Reverb sucks.

The ugly headstocks inhibit their functionality.

2 conductor or 4?

Have you forgotten where you are?

I simply don't understand why some can't grasp that. And we wonder why we can't have nice things.
