Keith with the polyester slacks... lol.
Sick tone with the LP through that Triumph head (solid state) and cab.

re: Can you name better guitar solos then on November Rain?
Posted by MNCTigah on 5/18/25 at 4:19 pm to boogiewoogie1978
In the November Rain video outside of church, Slash is using the '59 tobacco burst that had belonged to Joe Perry (it was sold by Perry or his ex during divorce proceedings/settlement for a pittance). Slash eventually gave that guitar back to Perry.
However, that LP wasn't used to record the track. Supposedly, it was another LP on the neck pickup with the tone rolled off through a modded JCM 800.
I've always been partial to Terry Kath's solo on "25 or 6 to 4" at Tanglewood. Just the Strat and a cocked Cry Baby through some sort of Acoustic cab.

Not yet for me. Last week was a hard break to the downside on volume (institutions, fund managers, etc). Market is currently in a downtrend.
Day trading the spoos and the bonds aside, I'm looking for balance in the S&P, then go with a break back to the upside should that occur, for my portfolio type trades..
Day and swing traders that are short can be squeezed, giving the appearance of a bottom with the subsequent short term rally (weakens the market). Especially if the rally or previous day(s) trading is off of TA levels and relatively low volume, then most likely a squeeze. And the end of every down move normally looks like capitulation on excessive volume with divergences. Then maybe another downleg... lol.
I don't trade off of financial news... too much cognitive dissonance. The market generates the info..

The Eagles outdoors at Rice Stadium on their Hell Freezes Over tour ('94). They friggin rocked. Kickass college bar scene afterwards.
A fairly hard ticket. No one knew what day tickets would go on sale. I was working nights on a land rig in Hackberry. I had to drive about 15 miles through the marsh on a gravel road to a lone grocery store every morning after work to use their pay phone. Speed dial to Ticket Master. After a few days the tics finally went on sale...
Then with a different girlfriend months later at Cajundome in Lafayette. They weren't as good and sounded/looked burned out.
Now they're old and decrepit and Henley is using backing tracks...

Deep Purple. Wild Dogs. RIP Tommy Bolin.
A montage of sorts but my favorite rendition of that song. It's used on "The Ultimate."

Piper with Billy Squire on guitar and vocals. At the time, I just thought a solid act. Squire didn't hit until years later, and it was even longer before I realized that I had seen him in his earlier iteration.
Van Halen was seemingly opening for everyone back in the 70's. Ditto for Cheap Trick and AC/DC (before they crushed it in 1980 with Back in Black).
Zebra... at lots of clubs before their debut LP.

I was living in Silicon Valley for the Loma Prieta quake. 6.9 magnitude. The double-decker Cypress freeway collapsed. Squished and flattened a bunch of people in their cars.

The Innocence Project
I haven't watched the Peacock documentary, but it's my understanding that post conviction issues raised in his case were done by Los Angeles Innocence Project, which is unaffiliated with the Innocence Project created by Barry Scheck and The Cordoza School of Law.
Case Statement by Innocence Project
There are many Innocence Projects, unaffiliated, seemingly created by law programs due to success of the original.
FWIW... back in the day there was a doctor in Lafayette that I knew that was convicted of Attempted Second Degree Murder due to him injecting a nurse he was having an affair with... with tainted blood containing AIDS and HIV viruses. It was the first U.S. case based on phylogenetic DNA evidence. At the time, the doctor was being dishonest with me about the particulars, and I naively contacted Scheck, who subsequently refused to take his case on appeal.
ETA: The doctor... Richard Schmidt, was guilty af and died in prison. Scott Peterson seems guilty af.. and likely will die in prison.
In arrangement, it wasn't a huge departure from the original Kink's version of "You Really Got Me," but Van Halen's cover of that on their first LP changed the world. Preceded by "Eruption," which was the intro to EVH's amazing chops.
A variac on a Plexi. The brown sound. Still chasing that tone...

Only complaints would be the last time I saw them in 2016 or so. Paul Stanley's voice was shot, seemed like they didn't play as long, wasn't a good opener.
Rumor was that they were using backing tracks at the end.

1977 at the Centroplex. Piper w/Billy Squire opened.
Then worked one of their shows a few years later in Laffy. They were more "commercialized" and Ace and Peter were no longer with them. I came across a bunch of boxed guitars while unloading one of the semi's and found out that Paul Stanley would crack one up on stage every show. Set list was always taped on the drum kit so I knew the timing, and put myself in the gap between the stage and the firewall for that tune. I motioned to Stanley a couple of times to give me the axe after he busted it up. He leaned over and put it in my hands once he was done with it.
And then bedlam...
The firewall didn't necessarily provide it's intended function and all of the friggin kids were trying take it from me. Security came to my rescue and got me out of there. Great times... lol.
It was a Kramer and only the neck was busted up. Intent was to put a new neck on it but I never did.

re: Aerosmith Packs It In
Posted by MNCTigah on 8/3/24 at 5:23 pm to Giantkiller
I was local crew back in 80's when Aerosmith played the Cajundome. Cool dudes. Great musicians. I was all about guitar, so Perry was an influence after being exposed to Toys and Rocks, but Whitford was a force.

I guess LG and Maytag are shite products then.
LG has compressor issues. Class action suit a few years back. Unnaware beforehand, I bought an LG Instaview fridge.
After about 14 months, interior temps started warming up. Ice makers stopped dumping. Interior fans, temp sensors, and onboard diagnostics would come back good.
Despite what your warranty documentation might say, LG now warrants for 5 years parts and labor on their compressors, as a result of that suit.
They were going to send out someone to repair, but no one in my area worked with R600a gas. So they refunded my purchase price (minus $200 because it was a pro rated refund).
$200 for a new compressor off of ebay. And $150 for a fridge guy to swap it and change over to R134.
All said and done, after refund I'm in it for $550 (and associated bs) for a $4k fridge. However, I wouldn't buy another LG going forwards.
Absent this year's conditions and demands, the prior grain deal allowed Russia to export it's own agricultural and fertilizer products... exempt from U.S. and EU sanctions.
The Russian's hid behind altruism and a concern for global food security. bullshite. It's about money and their own exports.

I think there is validity in Kotkin's argument that the industrial technology transfer from the U.S. to the Soviets in the 1930's played a greater role than actual wartime arms and supplies via Lend Lease, which is the common narrative.
Setting aside mechanical performance in what we provided and well known strategic German blunders, Soviet industry in World War II overwhelmed German output.
They manufactured 95K wartime tanks and self propelled artillery vs Germany's 54K. Some of that surplus being used in current conflict... lol. Combat aircraft was 108k to 79k.
Amongst other supplies, the U.S. Embassy puts U.S. tanks via Lend Lease at 13k.
If not for the corruption and general thievery, I've always thought that Russian industrial capacity was their strategic advantage over Ukraine.
ETA: I originally wasn't aware of pre-war American industrial influences on Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. A generalized background at American Heritage.
