Er ............... hold my beer.

Judas Priest - Reckless Trivia - The producers of Top Gun (1) approached Judas Priest to use this tune in the movie. They turned down the request as TG wanted exclusive use of the song and Priest could not then include it on their upcoming album Turbo. Oops ?

HATE: Anything I can't play all the way through without making a few mistakes and/or playing a few bum notes LOVE:

My hero heroes. The world needs more of you them. Thank you s!

Yes, because that would mean that person would be over-overly concerned with minute details. Indeed I am it would ?

At least none of us here is a self-appointed, self-important, over-pedantic member of the internet spelling police ? That would be dreadful ?

Grem, I can almost see the allure of a 'tribute' lookalike geetar such as the Joe Strummer Telecaster or EVH's Frankenstrat. But a guitar artificially aged seems pointless to me. Albeit I don't take my guitars on the road but my US P-bass, US J-bass, US Tele, US Strat, ESP and my beloved Ruby are all 8 - 15ish years old (all acquired new) and not one of them has as much as a dink or scratch on them anywhere. If someone offered to take a power tool to any of them to 'make them better' my response would not be favourable ?

That made me LOL Byron ? Mind you, on a related matter, I have absolutely zero clue as to why anyone would purchase a brand new road-worn/distressed/artificially-aged guitar. I believe this phenomena is unique to guitar posers players - I can't think of another instrument that's somehow 'improved' by this process ... Salesman: Yes sir, thank you for your purchase - let me add that I'd be happy to arrange free delivery to your home and full installation of this new $160,000 Steinway-D concert grand Purchaser: Thank you. Oh and by the way, before you dispatch, could you please take a chisel, sander and power drill to my new piano to make it look a bit like Beethoven played it

Who is making these decisions? If it's BandLab staff, I guess one just has to accept it. On the other hand, if it's a forum 'host' (or whatever they're called now), I guess one just has to accept it too. Speaking of 'hosts', although I've never been a fan of the concept, I have to admit we've had a handful of decent ones - FastBikerBoy (Karl), Danny Danzi and Dave (Bitflipper) spring to mind. I may not always have agreed with their decisions, but I had enough respect for them to abide by their rulings. But sadly, for every FBB or Bitflipper, we also ended up with a few who were basically just the school bully who'd been given a prefect's badge. Or worse, a complete fruit loop, such as me old mate CakeAlexS. Nowadays, I just can't be arsed to kick up a stink. It is what it is.

I preferred Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet.
