Haha, got some corny rockstar pics from my last gig.
I need to stuff my pants Spinal Tap style next time for this rock pose.
Nice pics, and it looks like a sweet venue as well.
Hahaha definitely go for the foil-covered zucchini next time

thanks, Miner, having got my video boots slightly damp with this, I'm keen to do a bit more!
Thanks, Ray. I'll give this a go for a couple more vids, then see how I go.

Thanks guys.
Yeah that was an outdoor stage with a tent over the top. It was really awesome. I'd never played there before. Cool place.

This fucking thread is like the Energizer Bunny. Haven't been around for a few days. Nice to see you Tonetards are still tonetarding.
Great pics, Greg. That gold LP looks great. Those are actually pretty pro looking pictures. You look like a "real" musician.

Haha right? I almost might sort of look like I know what the fuck I'm doing up there.This fucking thread is like the Energizer Bunny. Haven't been around for a few days. Nice to see you Tonetards are still tonetarding.

You guys that get nervous about playing live, you see what I mean? It's really no big deal! I totally suck! Just go out there like you are the only thing that matters and people eat it up. They just want to be entertained. If that means hamming it up with rock poses, then go for it. It's all in good fun for everyone.
Thanks. I agree. Goldtops rule. Classic and classy....even in the hands of a goofball like me.
I'll say this...that Goldtop Les Paul is perfect in every way. I aint just saying it because it's mine. I shuffled through over 100 Les Pauls over several months looking for "the one", and that one is it. There is not one single thing I'd change about that guitar in any way. Perfect neck, perfect pickups, perfect action, perfect feel, perfect finish, perfect everything. I like all of my guitars, but that one is the one.

well, except that you don't!
A guy striking a pose but sucking is a poser and everyone knows it.
We all laugh at guys like that.
The reason you pull it off is that you can back it up ..... you know it and so does everyone there and that's what makes it real.
And yes, the goldtop is the LP I'd like.
I have a Zak Wilde which is surprisingly pretty in person.
Wifey and I thought it looked stupid in pictures but when we saw one we both oohed and ahhhed over it and she bought me one.
But a goldtop ...... I'd like one .... either mini-buckers or P90s .... not sure which.
I guess I just mean like I'm nothing, a nobody, but I sometimes get to play these big, professional places, pro stages, pro sound, pro lights, pro crowds! No pro money though. Lol. But I just do it. None of that gets to me. Stand me up, plug me in, and watch out cuz I'm gonna go balls deep. I don't let the moment get to big for me. I used to really hate gigs because they're just so monotonous. But that was when I was only drumming and I'm kind of stuck in the back. Now that I'm playing guitar again too, I get to let it fly more, ham it up, and just have more fun with it. I truly enjoy doing both now more than ever.
You need a Deluxe! Goldtop with mini-hums...nice!
Man Houston got it's ass thoroughly kicked today. Huge flood event today. They call it "training". The bands of rain would pass over the same spots over and over like train cars. Bayous topping their banks...and these are big bayous. I drove around this afternoon and there are flooded out abandoned cars littering the roadways. 18 wheelers stuck under overpasses completely submerged. It's crazy. We had an event like this last year almost to the day, but I think this one might be worse. But for me, I'm high and dry. We got a ton of relentless rain, some minor street flooding because the drains couldn't keep up, but nothing serious. One thing that I think helps the McMansion neighborhoods out here is we have these try-to-be-scenic man-made lakes and ponds. They're really just retention ponds, but they dress em up to look pretty. They take a ton of rain to fill up, but they take the rain. Better they fill up than the streets. The two lakes in my hood are FULL but they drain out fast, so we're in good shape. The ducks seem to love it.

Good to hear you & your family are ok Greg. I saw it on the news, & it's fuckin' terrible. First thing I thought of when I heard "Houston, TX" was you man....Again, glad you're all safe....
Well thanks man, but you only need to worry if they say "Katy,Tx". I am in the greater Houston area, but my little burb is way out here on the west end. I'm not in Houston city limits. I'm about 35 miles from downtown. If you're heading west on I-10, I'm the last civilized outpost of the Houston area before you enter the vast nothingness of Texas. Next stop, San Antonio, about 4 hours later. There's not much between me and San Antonio. After that is true West Texas nothingness.
The rains this morning started around 3am and marched right over my head and charged pretty much straight east down I-10 into Houston. It's like the rain intended to take the freeway. It was pretty nuts. The lightning and thunder was literally non stop. Serious stuff.

I knew you lived in Katy, but didn't know how close you were to the carnage dude in Houston. I knew you don't live very far from there, & that's the reason for my concern dude....Again, glad you & yours are alright....
There was enough carnage around here to affect us, but not the washing cars away carnage that happened in Houston proper. None of the creeks and bayous around here topped their banks. Most of the stuff around here was garbage cans floating down the street and dummies driving into water too deep for their Prius.
I do know this...the Billy Joe Bob rednecks in old Katy had a field day finally having a valid use for their jacked up urban Bigfoot monster trucks. They were out in full force dragging cars out of the floods. Too bad there was no looting. Shooting at coloreds would have been a dang tootin good time for them thar good ol boys!
