  1. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live Another Day
  2. My first Marshall (and my first decent amp). Well, not the actual amp, but one just like it. Bought it used from a friend of a friend of a friend, for around $250 I think (it was such a long time ago). It was not a tube amp but I seem to remember that it sounded pretty good. Coupled with the Korean Fender Squier Strat that I'd bought the year before, it was the closest approximation to my dream rig I could afford, and my first relatively decent set up. After I moved to Montreal for the second time, tough times hit and I had to sell some stuff. I hauled that thing on my shoulder and via subway throughout the city going from pawn shop to pawn shop. I got $40 for it - one of the pots was noisy - nothing a bit of air duster wouldn't fix. I was heartbroken but I was also starving so... I'd be curious to hear one of them again, to see whether it sounded as good as I remember.
  3. Iron Maiden - Cross-Eyed Mary. One of the first covers I heard by a band I liked after I discovered heavy metal. You Really Got Me by Van Halen and Helter Skelter by Mötley Crüe would be the first and second. But this one felt special because it wasn't on an album.
  4. This is me NOT posting AC/DC's Dog Eat Dog or Givin' the Dog a Bone. Nazareth - Hair of the Dog
  5. Craig’s post form another discussion got me thinking about gear that I had to let go of. This was in early 2019. The only thing left are the Les Paul Studio and the Fender Strat. These are the ones that are absolutely irreplaceable. The rest of the gear was mostly just average, inexpensive stuff. The second half of 2019 and 2020 hit pretty hard and I had to let go of a lot of gear and studio stuff, like my Pro Tools mixing surface (Command 8). I do regret having to sell the Marshall, but there was nothing unique about it. I can buy one just like it if I want to. I miss having a bass, but that’s also a simple fix. The acoustic and the Riviera I could not longer play due to the angle at which they put my right shoulder. The black Epiphone Les Paul had something special about it. It was one of those Epi’s which was somehow way better than it should have been considering its price and pedigree. But it’s not entirely irreplaceable, and the white Les Paul covers my needs. But that SGJ on the floor I’ll forever miss. I’d purchased a SG Standard that spring, with better pickups, locking tuners and all the nice stuff, so when hard time hit and I had to let some things go, I figured it would do. And it does sound 10 times better. But the SGJ was just magic. And it had a 50’s rounded neck, which is quite uncommon as far as I know. For some reason, even though it was very light, unlike most other SG’s I’ve played, it also felt extremely solid - that rounded neck may have had a lot to do with it. It was just the best guitar to sit in front of the tv with and just jam and practice. And it relic’ed just by me looking at it. There’s a couple of Marshall I had to let go earlier in my life that I miss, but that SGJ really takes the top spot. I’d probably buy it back for double what I sold it in a heartbeat (which still wouldn't be that bad because I let it go for peanuts,
  6. And off I go again... AC/DC - Back in Black (ok, I promise I'll try to be a little more diverse after this one.).
  7. There @pwalpwal Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker
  8. But first... AC/DC - If You Want Blood (You've Got it)
  9. Gorgeous finish. Huge fan of the zebra pick ups.
  10. It's like I'm caught in a loop.... Judas Priest - Savage
  11. This is making it very difficult for me not to post Priest and AC/DC songs... AC/DC - Jailbreak
  12. Well then... Iron Maiden - The Prisoner
  13. Thank to this thread, I just learned that they're also planning a Mac product (Next). I'll be curious to see that, but I'm expecting it'll be something aimed at a different segment of the market and not a full fledged DAW.
  14. Judas Priest - Prisoner of your Eyes
  15. David Bowie - Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud
  16. Nine Inch Nails - Adrift and at Peace
