Bringing out the big guns

I had a kill switch on my old '85 Ford Escort. One Thanksgiving the fuel pump went out on my way home and it was towed to a nearby Ford dealer and dropped off around 10 PM - they were closed. I neglected to leave a note informing them of the switch so the tech spent most of the next day trying to repair the no-start while ignorant of the kill switch. Wouldn't start even after replacing the pump. Got it all worked out eventually, tech said another tech suggested there might be some such device installed and they found it - right where I left it :spank::D
 
I put a kill switch on my Volvo because I and no one else could find what kept draining the battery. I didn't have to worry about anyone stealing the car.
I had to ask what I could possibly use the kill switch on my Jaguar for. Buckethead was the example I was given. I had a kill switch on my TC Nova Repeater. I had just bought it and used it that night. When they say kill they meant it. I didn't have time to go through everything on the pedal. I hit the kill footswitch by mistake and everything went dead mid song, live. Took me fifteen to twenty minutes to find the problem. My wife suggested I glue a bottle cap over it. I called TC Electronics, got someone on the line and asked what their engineers were thinking? The gent on the phone suggested I glue a bottle cap over it. I didn't know why wife was and electronic engineer.

Eddie was a huge influence on my playing style like most(not all) rock guitarists from that era and into the ‘80s. Hot for Teacher was one of the best songs they’d recorded probably since Fair Warning, maybe Women and Children imo. But Women and Children is the last record with that Eddie tone and style that made his playing so awesome…raw and hungry. Only my opinion and preference
 
And I’m guessing at least part of his tone change to tape, and it got less raw and more processed, was probably a producer thing, but he was active in the recording production process especially after 5150 was up and running so he was probably just evolving his tone. Which kind of sucks because it was so perfect on the first 3 albums.

I've started a Go Fund Me page to help pay for the part that I didn't have in my 401K. So far I've got $3.12 collected, only $3,922,018 to go!

I'm afraid you're going to have to pay a 401K Depletion Tax based on your target. That'll come to. . . lessee. . . oh yeah - exactly $4,000,000.19

I couldn't get into their music. By that time I was in my thirties and couldn't relate to the juvenile lyrics besides other reasons.
