We have just had the greatest time playing Rock Band together as a family, to Thor's point the other day about music bringing people together.I have this theory that real guitar players suck at "Guitar Hero" and Rock Band" Or maybe it's just me!![]()
Ok. Crank these fuckers up to 11
One of my favorite rock bands ever is Soundgarden, and if they were just purely a grunge band then so was Black Sabbath...of course they weren't, but i always felt these two bands were very similar, just decades apart.
Shout out to Prime Time. Great interview with Roger Hodgson! I didn't know Goldmine magazine still existed!
You guitar guys need to check out Willie's guitar at around the 2:45 minute mark on this one. Tell me what's going on there?
Willie is a Rasta btw.
True enough, he is a living legend and I'm sure he brings a fairly large operation along with him. Everyone needs to be paid. It would be a great night of music under the stars in an amphitheater, that is for sure. The wife was bummed. lol@RAMSinLA Yea that's redic. The cost of live music. You know, when you consider nobody buys music anymore with YouTube and all, the only way to make money is touring. So, there's upward pressure on the price of live music. I imagine Willie would include a bit of kind if it were up to him. That does sound like one to see though. He's not getting any younger. Very cool!
Well said, and then you have the Hendrix coaching tree(Lol) which gave birth to the electric guitar being used as a weapon of mass destruction rather than just a lead instrumentGreat post. As advised, I turned to 11 and tried to blow the windows out of my truck on the way to work on that Sabbath tune. Many bands are either in the Zeppelin or Sabbath school of rock. Here's couple of faves from rock band by those guys.
@CodeMonkey
There's a lot of extra stuff on, and hanging out of, that there geeeetar. WTH is all that?
Oh, you mean that strap at going around the middle bottom into the hole? I think maybe that's holding an electic pickup inside the guitar...Or, maybe that strap and nicotine is all that is holding it together at this point. ha ha. He sure has an unmistakable sound with his amplified gut-string classical martin played cowboy style.
That Martin guitar's name is Trigger. The hole that he has worn into it has gotten bigger and looks like even the top part is starting to wear through. He actually hid the guitar when the IRS seized all of his assets. Here's a little story from Rolling Stone magazine and a couple links at the end.

Before Willie Nelson hits the stage every night, there's a commotion in the audience when his longtime guitar tech, Tunin' Tom Hawkins, brings out the country legend's famous guitar, Trigger, placing it at the center of the stage. "The whole front row will come up photographing for several minutes before the show starts," says Hawkins. That's the power of Trigger.
Trigger, a beat-up, autograph-covered Martin N-20 acoustic, is just as recognizable as Nelson himself. And in the debut documentary in our "Mastering the Craft" series by Rolling Stone Films presented by Patrón, MaggieVision Productions and director David Chamberlin interview Nelson, his band and crew — plus friends including Jerry Jeff Walker, music journalist Joe Nick Patoski and fans like Woody Harrelson, who provides the documentary's voiceover — to tell the story of how this instrument helped change music history.
Nelson discovered Trigger at a crossroads in his career. By 1969, he had spent nearly a decade trying to become a clean-cut solo success in Nashville. After a drunk destroyed his Guild acoustic, he decided to look for a new guitar with a sound similar to his gypsy-jazz hero Django Reinhardt ("I think he was the best guitar player ever," Nelson says). His buddy Shot Jackson suggested the Martin classical "gut-string" guitar; Nelson bought it sight-unseen and gave it a name. "I named my guitar Trigger because it's kind of my horse," he explains. "Roy Rogers had a horse called Trigger."
Later that year, Nelson's house caught fire, and he raced inside to rescue Trigger and a pound of weed. He took the blaze as a sign it was time to relocate, returning to Texas to play the honky-tonk clubs he grew up around. The scene in Texas was more eclectic and wild, and Nelson began to thrive, pushing the boundaries of what everyone expected from an acoustic player. "No acoustic guitar at that time had been successfully amplified with a pickup," Patoski says. Willie had a sound literally nobody else was getting.
Trigger has stayed by his side ever since, through the famous Fourth of July Picnics he started hosting in Texas in 1972, his experimental Number One breakthrough Red Headed Stranger, and all the rough times; when the IRS seized his possessions in the early Nineties, Willie sent his daughter, Lana, to hide the guitar in Hawaii. He's had Trigger for so long and played it so hard and so much that his pick wore a sizable hole through its front. "My God! How do they keep that thing together?!" Patoski exclaims in the film. "I mean, it shouldn't be playable." Willie's response? "I don’t want to put a guard over it," he smiles. "I need a place to put my fingers."
After five decades with his trusty companion, Nelson is still going strong. "I figure we'll give out about the same time," he says of the well-worn acoustic. "We're both pretty old, got a few scars here and there, but we still manage to make a sound every now and then."
