I get that young people use auto tune and mime vocals while playing live. They have no musical integrity. I have a video of Pink live. She's swinging on a rope and the vocal is perfect. She's walking across the stage singing, and her breath is louder than her vocal. It's ridiculous. What's so...

Everyone has their musical heroes. Jimmy Page #1. He's other worldly on the guitar. Mick Ronson #2. Magnificent guitarist and arranger. Mick Jones #3. He's no powerhouse on the guitar. But, everything he does is perfect. Brilliant songwriter and vocalist. He was the musical force of the...

There isn't much new music I give a shit about. I pretty much can't stand anything. The other night I watched a film co-written, directed by Meg Ryan, starring her and David Duchovney. Ryan back in the day was gorgeous. Then she did the surgery crap, and she's almost impossible to look at. I...

Max Steiner is the #1 composer in film history. His biggest score is Gone With The Wind. But, he also did Casablanca, Now Voyager, and a few hundred others. If you're into old films, you know the name. One of my favorite films City For Conquest stars James Cagney. His brother played by Arthur...

Bobby Jean is one of my top Springsteen songs. I don't even know how many times I saw him live. He's always entertaining. He's also an old man now. But, the crowds pour in and from the 2013 video, they're fully engaged. But, if you get a chance watch each video and by the last one you'll fully...

I've always been fascinated with stereoscope cards. But, they're expensive. A few years back I found a view with some cards for $20, and now I'm hooked. These are a few recent purchases. I buy in bulk. It's too expensive to buy a single card. Tired of Play - copyright 1900. 123 years later...

Hamas attacked Israel and killed 1400. Israel is now going to destroy Hamas. All the huge protests, screaming, taking over buildings won't change that. I personally think there won't be a Hamas member left standing. At least I hope not. Was this attack a prelude to something bigger? What did...

These aren't for me. I have a friend in NYC who travels on the bus every day, and between the people with their phones, talking, listening to music, and the bus driver who plays music, it's driving her insane. Years ago I tried a few pairs in stores, and they didn't really cancel anything out...

We were at a flea market today, and near the end of the day people make FREE piles. I walk past and a Digitech RP200A in the box was sitting there. It was at some point sold used from a music store. What did I have to lose? I plugged it in, downloaded the manual, the thing works. FREE! You can't...

Mick Jones was the musical genius behind the Clash and BAD. BAD fell off the face of the earth, and Carbon/Silicon started in the early/mid 2000s. They're also great. Mick Jones and Tony James of Generation X/Sigue Sigue Sputnick. It wasn't till recently I found out BAD recorded a final album...

I've been to a lot of shows. No one ever sounds like the record. I get these melodies are extremely simple. So, it shouldn't be hard to hit the correct notes. But, the tone, sound, everything sounds like the recorded version. Not just on this song, on all of their live songs. I spoke to the...

A RockAxe guitar with the speaker in the body was sitting on a tarp at the flea market. $5. Great. I'll take it. The battery cover was missing, and the 9V adapter was torn out. The wires were still there. I put the wires to the 9V and the speaker works. I had to pay $2.50 for a 9V adapter. It...

Pre 2000 (I hit 40), I had to choose shows to go see. There'd be more than one a night I would have wanted to see. By 2010 I was seeing old bands. Now, those bands are ancient. Yes, it's fun to reminisce as you watch a 70-year-old try to act like they're 20, and in no way pull it off. Or you see...

Has anyone here ever sold on reverb.com? I listed my acoustic (it is too much guitar for me). Almost immediately I received an offer (great offer) with a note: Hello my dad wants to buy your post send pic to email address or txt him at number thank you I was going to do it. Then I noticed...

This isn't so much a mix it, as it is, making it sound better. I could play with it for a few weeks and not be satisfied. Perhaps someone here would like to take a shot. The show was pretty good. it was one guitar, drums and vocal. They used a ton of backing tracks. So, it sounds a lot like...

I posted a thread about a Gibson Custom that was fake. This one isn't. I search guitars at various auctions sites and found this one. It was listed as a "Vintage Montgomery Wards Acoustic Guitar". The photos looked really cool. I looked up the guitar and it was made by Gibson. It was 250...

Up for auction was a white Gibson Les Paul Custom. It looked gorgeous in the photos. The auctioneer didn't put Gibson in the Ad. I found it searching guitars. The night of the auction, I had the auction on my computer. I ate dinner and watched a movie. When I went back to the computer, the...

I know nothing about this stuff. But, it's partially explained in a piece of this video from Brett Cooper (I like her). If you don't want to watch the entire video, search to about the 9 minute mark. Some guy recorded a rap, and took AI Kanye and replaced his vocal. It sounds like Kanye and...

I have a good main password I use for a lot of accounts. I'm not on the net that much. But, I do have accounts with many sites. About two weeks ago, I received an email from twitter (I'm there about a minute a day, what a cesspool that site is) that someone logged into my account and changed...
