Best of luck to you man! It sounds as if you truly were committed to your
project, and had very high hopes. Someone else mentioned the word shit!

Remember one thing : shit happens, but shit is also used for fertilizer
to make new things grow. Ever notice the grass is greener over the
septic tank?

I had surgery years ago (in the Dark Ages) and it didn't take that long for me to recover. But, this kind of stuff is on a case by case basis and everyone heals differently. Good Luck! By the way, get yourself a good barstool (unless you are a drummer) and keep gigging. I kept playing with some obvi...

A member of our band spoke with Fred the day the doors were padlocked and he responded that he was "restructuring the business"? He also said I'll be opening back upon Monday. Well, Monday came and went and the place is still locked. Too bad, because it was nice to have another venue in th...

I've worked with drummers who used combinations of acoustic and electronic drums. I personally like the sound of acoustic drums better, but also like the volume aspects of electronics. I used monitors for my bass rig setup in past (when I played with Sidewalk Romeo) and liked the lower stage volume ...

As far as I'm concerned, for anything larger than a "small" bar gig: No soundman is a recipe for disaster! Soundtechs get alot of shit from people who don't have a clue what it takes to put on a decent quality show. I'm fortunate to have a excellent crew behind the FOH and lighting console...

Carvin is a factory direct dealer, hence no middleman or other dealers/ repair folks. I've had pretty good success with any problems I've ever experienced with their equipment. They are generally good about warrantees/replacement. The only other company I've had this kind of treatment from over the ...

I feel for the staff/owners of these establishments. George called me to cancel Flight 19 bookings (at last minute) several times over past few years, stating he was sorry but PLCB had been in to cite him for noise violations. He never got one when we played there, but it still was unfortunate. I se...

I've seen cases where active has a detrimental effect on your tone.
My experience has been less crap, cleaner signal. I've used both, and my experience has always been that passive DI is cleaner and (as Lonewolf stated) if your signal is strong enough don't bother with the active.

If this game is like every other big game I've watched this year (college
or pro), it will probably be one that nearly gives me a heart attack to watch. Pittsburgh is hungry now!

This asshole needs the death penalty if convicted. This dickhead was the person/suspect alleged to have shot my sister-in-law in a "drive-by" shooting with a paintball gun several years ago. This shooting resulted in her having blood vessels broken in her leg, and severe bruising which las...

I have a Valley Arts Custom bass that I ordered about ten years ago. I had a set of Seymour Duncan passive pickups installed on it in a P/J combo set up. It has a nice growl, overall smooth tone, and good output for passives. I'd recommend SDs to anyone who doesn't want to spend a ton of money, but ...

Several area newspapers have very poor editing/proofreading. One in particular is especially guilty of this (no name mentioned). These little quotes are just a few of the examples of this. Many of these quotes are hilarious, and it makes you wonder how this occurs?

This is a guy who is definitely dedicated to his craft. Shows what can
happen with determination and love of music.

Cool!

Check out some old Django Reinhart (jazz)

What about Jeff Beck? Did some amazing stuff! Maybe not shred, but fast
as lightning.

HO! HO! HO! YEAH...............!!!!

I have a rackmount POD Pro in my rack, and although I haven't done much tweaking with it yet, I like the basic tones. The models sound great out of the box. Also, the ability to get different amp tones is nice. I've owned many of the big brand tube amps and could never get the sound I want. This is ...

Get back to the mailroom Neuman! Those postage stamps need licking!

What, you mean you don't like that song by Reno/Wilson (come on D,
I know you do).

My Prozac doesn't come scored and I don't have a pill cutter.


Loverboy........ AGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Shoot me!

Skippy

I think Mike Reno and Ann Wilson should reunite to do another song?

How bout the rest of you?

Great choice Rob! HA! HA!

Are you gonna put it on your set list Rob?

AGHHHHHHH!

I experienced one of those "what if?" moments in my life years ago (when I was touring with Sidewalk Romeo). We actually were in the process of scheduling 2 dates to open for Stevie Ray in Poughkeepsie, NY (through our then management company). As fate would have it, we finally were schedu...

This is an age-old subject/argument. But, in the real world you don't get anything for free. Most bars/clubs can't afford to pay bands outright from their bar sales, so they must charge cover to recoup costs. Many bands do play for "the door", etc. Musicians understand that there are expen...

Hannibal,

Rick isn't using the phone number you currently have, or the e-mail
due to some unfortunate circumstances. If I can, I'll try to get a phone #
for you.

Just my thoughts/opinion Could we all stop bickering and making negative comments on this site. I've noticed way too much of this recently, and it concerns me as I feel it should all rockpagers. Once again, please stop. I don't think this forum was created for that purpose. We all have a common inte...

I agree Mike, Our band, and friends and family of John are the most affected here. Thanks to all who support John and our band. It's time for the bickering to end! Please stop everyone! Thank you JP for monitoring things while Ron is inabscentia. (And for the lock). We all need to be more civil towa...
