Was with my youngest son trying out guitars, he bought his first and it was a Kramer Baretta. Was really surprised how good this thing played and sounded at that price, having owned a Stryker in the 90's I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Thin neck with the typical basswood body used in recent times and single humbucker in the bridge being the only pickup it leaves a lot of options for mods and upgrades, the tuners were better than expected and stays relatively in tune after dive bombing the trem. Even though it does not come with a gig bag which would have shite anyways I don't think you could get a better deal for less than $300. Wish I had this option when I was learning in the 60's 😅🤘

Been waiting for them to release something new

Pretty much covered any I can think of other than Sepultura. You can check out Alien Weaponry, Overkill, Crowbar maybe Corrosion of Conformity, Grip Inc. 🤘

I remember that guy, used to blow up hot water bottles. Played The Gasworks and Rock n Roll Heaven a few times, met the pyro guy outside RRH after his show and he had a box with some wooden tiles in it, said it was keepsakes, used too much in the pyro and damaged the stage That was back when Lee Aaron, Coney Hatch and Anvil were playing in regular rotation in the bar 80' bar scenes.

Having problems with my computer lately it is a 20 year old IMAC, that is my excuse and I am sticking with it Weihenstephan is without a doubt one of the best beers I have ever tasted about $6 a bottle here but worth it. That being said I try to avoid beer as much as possible and stick to clear alcohol when I drink, I lift weights and don't need those estrogen bombs in my system moobs and dickey do's are the last thing I want to be rockin. Vodka straight up with lime and soda water or Single Malt Scotch neat, vodka martini's and Black Russians are tasty too 🤘

Never been able to find VB here in Canada, always wanted to try it. Bitter are my go to beers, my favourite used to be Tartan from Scotland, these days it is usually Abbott, Trooper, Lancaster Bomber or Spitfire. I tried one from a New York brewery War of 1812 bitter ale it was mighty tasty.

I used to get decent merch from Amazon but lately the selection is shite, we have quite a few places in Canada that stock decent merch but nothing obscure unfortunately. My son got some cool tees from Futhark Records in Toronto, they have a ton of rare black metal releases in all formats, he got a CD of some obscure BM band from Costa Rica last time and the owner Klaus had some BM shirts he designed he grabbed too. House of Wo Fat has tees for $20, even a few in the discount section for $7, probably going to grab a few. Used that angle for a long time too, works like a charm until another Mick arrives which was not that often.

Saw Nugent in the 70's live a few times, awesome show, Derek St.Holmes is a beast on rhythm. My issue with Hendrix is similar to Page, really sloppy live and another thing with Hendrix live was tune for fucking guitar man seriously. Could be the drugs but that is even worse, IMHO when I pay good money to see a show you are on my dime, be professional or get the fuck off the stage, it is not much to ask. As for Hendrix roadies one of them was Meatloaf I hope he wasn't the guitar tech shite. Meatloaf also did vocals on some early Nugent material.

Missed Dimeola when he did the Elegant Gypsy tour, was really pissed

Uriah Heap and Deep Purple for sure.Pink Floyd laid the foundation for prog even more so King Crimson were hugely influential with Court of the Crimson King in 69. Alice Cooper for Shock Rock 69. Thin Lizzy and Nazareth were touring in 69 but did not release and album until 70 so they would not qualify but were influential, especially Lizzy with their duelling guitarists. Also Amboy Dukes with Ted Nugent 67, Journey to the Centre of your mind 68 was influential in some ways on the psychedelic side of creativity.

Going to check this one out myself

Honestly if your looking for cheap and reliable I would go with a Big Muff, shit loads of sustain and some gnarly tones, wish I had not traded mine but it was too big for my board. I got mine new from Musicians Friend for $79 dollars year ago. Take note there is a glut of equipment with so much bought during covid, the manufacturers overproduced and the inventory is so high it is a buyers market and even more so in the coming months. I found an Erupter from EQD that is sought after being a limited run and out of production for a few years now. It is based off the Russian Big Muff the green one and if it is still around after I trade in some pedals it will be on my board real soon. Cheers

Haven't been to festival in over 30 years but I would like to go to Wacken or Hellfest or something but being older having to go to the bathroom often is a challenge, if I did I would probably rent a camper or something last gig I seen was Uncle Acid with King Buffalo a couple of years ago

Welcome to the forum, we listen to everything in Dubly down here

Welcome to the depths

Well if your looking for tabs and lessons I would go with publications like Guitar Player etc... In our day we would learn from each other, needle drop on a LP was how we learned as we were still in the 8 track phase and cassettes were not in production yet, if you were lucky you would have a reel to reel but my uncle was the only person I knew that owned one. It was all trial and a lot of error.
