One of my favorite bits of music trivia. Most people of my vintage know the cover version by Motley Crue but do not know the original.

I have the EVH model but I'm not very good at telling the two modes apart. I tell you, though, turn up the gain on your Marshall, soak your tone in reverb, turn on your phaser with the speed way down, and tune your guitar down a half step, and you have VH I tone in spades!

I'm no expert, but most features that make a Gibson look like a Gibson are more expensive to put on a guitar. Aren't they? Fender and Charvel both use bolt-on necks, correct? That must be a lot cheaper than doing set-neck guitars like Gibson does. Same with bound necks and bodies. Plus the routing i...

F**king sweet, Al. Thanks. I loved it.

I actually run all Windows PCs and I've generally been satisfied with them. But I swear by my iPhone and iPad. To me, nothing comes close to their seamlessness and ease of use. The user experience is too unpredictable on Android given all of the different phones out there. Regardless of whether you ...

I'm with Doc. Hang in there, shaun. If you don't have to sell your gear (or sell all of it), try to hold on to it. Put it aside for now. Take it easy, try to find something you love to do, and enjoy life as best you can. Hopefully the itch to play will return. We'll certainly be here.

Congrats! I have a 2266 but I have always wanted a 2266c too.

It is a fantastic amp and its sound just screams AC/DC. Provided you have a place where you can turn it up, you will be in heaven. I love my 2061X but I live in an apartment and am therefore unable to turn it up.

Oh, Jeez, where to begin? The kids are adorable. These folks make such a postcard-perfect family. They first came to the public's attention with their "Christmas jammies" video. The wife/mom looked particularly hot in that video. (See below for link.) The husband was a TV newscaster or weatherman or...

C'mon, J, be honest with us. That's not a stick, it's a barbecue skewer. Right? :-) Congrats on succeeding with the effort. When I had to firm up the screw hole for the endpin in my 1987 strat plus, I used wooden toothpicks.

Great player, stupid getup. To each his own, I guess.

Every once in a while it seems a member of the forum will acquire a YJM and decide it's not for him. I'd say post a message in the classifieds here and see if anyone responds.

Also, according to Gawker Media: "Rudd was part of the original AC/DC lineup, but moved to New Zealand when the band kicked him out in 1983. Although Rudd ended up rejoining the group in 1994 and recorded on AC/DC's upcoming album, he was conspicuously absent from a recent video shoot and wasn't pic...

Their new album "Rock or Bust" is scheduled for release on December 2, so I presume it's all done.

I'm playing a gig on Saturday and I plan to use my JVM 410H. The problem is that when I click on the sixth (last) button on the footswitch in order to toggle between the two master volumes, I get a static-like sound for an instant. Clicking on the button accomplishes what it is supposed to accomplis...
