Dinosaur Rock Guitar Forum

For that money, I'd look for one of the limited run done by Freddy Gabrsek done about ten years ago. He had done tech work for Alex over the years and got permission from Alex to do a limited run after having the original Hentor in his possession for 6 months to take measurements, etc. They pop up o...

Killer news!

I can't think of any song that I liked where I preferred watching the video to listening to the song. That might be due to growing up without MTV, but I agree that really comes down to divided attention and I think that for most people vision is the most immediately stimulating sense, which may rele...

Moving between that many tape machines, it's amazing that the Heartbreaker solo was probably the biggest tuning issue on the whole record (and that wasn't that big a deal). 

One thing a buddy of mine and I both noted is that it seems a bit like you took the Best of Bruce Dickinson, put it in a bowl, stirred in a couple new ingredients, and made something new out of it; meaning that it isn't a  METAL  record, but a record that has a good bit of metal on it.

I went back to 9's on all my Fender-scale guitars a couple years back. I like the feel and it's easier on the hands, especially since now I just don't log the consistent guitar hours I used to and it's a lot easier for me to get "weekend warrior" syndrome and get my left hand hurting.

Uli Roth puts as much into some dive bombs as I've put into entire solos. I saw him 3 times, and he gets after that whammy bar like it slapped his mother. And even the Sky guitar really doesn't have any great tuning advantage over a Strat with a 2pt trem. 

Just finished 10 and 11. Similar to my last set of comments, I didn't have any need to refresh my memory on my prior couple of reading sessions. This was interesting, in that it knit together the narrative that I'd followed during my first few years on the DRG forum and gave more in depth insight th...
