Derek Trucks and his band (with Susan Tedeschi) dropped into the studio at World Cafe Live today and recorded three live tunes. Check it out. Derek's playing is an awe-inspiring experience, and these songs confirm that. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99800401

It has been a while, so here is the title: "Under the Blade" by Twisted Sister.

Last year, I had and returned that same V32 model. First, it was incredibly loud and rattled past volume "3" due to the overly accentuated low-frequency vibrations. I tightened everything, but it still rattled. Additionally, the face plate on the amp got so hot I could almost fry and egg on...

It is a sad loss to the music world. He was one of the best pickers in my book. Ashamedly, I first knew Jerry Reed as the guy on Smokey and the Bandit. It was only later that I discovered his lightning guitar playing -- glad I did.

Too much pickguard; not enough wood.

Awesome Vai concept! This is so creative and typical of Steve's sense of humor. Great post.

I built and owned two bolt kits in the past. I bought them when they were $299.00 base price with free shipping about five years ago. The guitars were stellar in every way (except my botched finish). Stupidly, I sold them to finance a "new" guitar purchase. :thwap: Every time I played that...

I am leary when MF says they are "availible in 32 days" for a blowout item. They had them in stock about two hours ago. I assume they are sold out, and there most likely won't be any more coming in to MF stock. That V18 for $149 was an incredible price! If you used the "SV10" code ($10 off)...

Aw, c'mon, Spud! I just bought a G-Dec 30 this morning. Now my wallet is throbbing. And $149.00 for that 18 watt 112 is unheard of!:drool: If you buy the V5 for $99.00 you can use the "sv10" ($10 off) code and get the amp for $89.00 and free shipping. :AOK:

A glint of steel A flash of light You know you're not going home tonight Be it jack or switch Doctor's or mind Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find You can't escape From the bed you've made When your time has come, you'll accept the ...

Fear of the dark. Fear of the da-ark. I have the constant fear that someone's always near. Up the Irons!

I love the Beard, but, to me, they are just not the same without Neal on vocals and Nick behind the kit. Don't get me wrong, anything Spock's Beard has done is full of innovation and merit. However, I long for Neal on vocals and Nick on the drums -- Snow and V are my favs. Thanks for the...

I have my Line 6 Uber Metal distortion pedal up for sale. The tone was not my cup of tea -- solid pedal, though, and interchangable with other Line 6 Tone Core modules. It is like new and comes in the original box with all packing and paperwork. I would like to offer it up here before it goes...

This is kind of old, but G.E. Smith has always been someone I have idolized as a teen in the 80's -- his gig on SNL and his work with Hall and Oates and Bob Dylan. There is something about GE's cool personality and musical vita that screams rock-n-roll. And his Tele promo video makes me want...

Congrats! Awesome guitar, and you give all of us who enter those contests hope.
