Test Drive: DiMarzio Tele Tone Zone Rocks! 10 May 2013 | 11:46 pm
Last year at some point I fell in love with the DiMarzio “made-for-the-Ernie Ball/Music Man-EVH-model guitar” hummers. Don’t know if they have an exact name, and they’re not sold to anyone except EB/M...
Wow! The Winery Dogs: Kotzen, Sheehan, Portnoy 25 Apr 2013 | 02:10 am
Shazam! You hear/see this yet? Hipped to this by my friend the Buzzard. It’s good! And who knew Ritchie Kotzen – or anyone – could sound like Chris Cornell?? Here’s a bit about what Blabbermouth has t...
3 Full Shows: Must Watch/Listen! 8 Jan 2013 | 10:30 pm
Aerosmith, Skynyrd, ‘the guy with the Afro’ Not a whole lot to post here except to WATCH THESE. F-ing incredible. Seriously. Vintage Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd and “the guy with the Afro” – Jimi. Got h...
Best Wood: New ZZ vs Aero vs KISS 28 Dec 2012 | 10:30 pm
Not sure whether classic-type rock is dead or what, but doesn’t seem to be much of it lately. Maybe laptops and Pro Tools killed the ability to record great woody tones – with frickin’ air around it, ...
Pondering VH’s Fair Warning Tone 5 Dec 2012 | 11:01 pm
LOVE the first four Van Halen albums. Always have, always will. Love the rest too, including the Van Hagar years (oops, forgot about VH III…), but those first four vinyl donuts are to me and many othe...
Which Bogner Are You? 22 Nov 2012 | 12:00 am
Recently I was ruined yet again by a good amp. This time a bud’s Bogner Shiva, EL34 version. Let’s call him Sean – because that’s his name…. He’d been talking about how awesome it was for a while, and...
Rabbit Hole to Alvin Youngblood Hart! 26 Oct 2012 | 12:23 am
Got sucked into an interwebz rabbit hole the other day. Had it in my head – arguing in my head – about whether I needed another amp, and as a concession to the “no you don’t” side was looking at cheap...
Q&A: DiMarzio’s Steve Blucher On… 5 Oct 2012 | 09:00 pm
…the new Gravity Storm pickups designed for Steve Vai, and a bit o’ other stuff. Why other stuff? Because the second-best thing to playing guitar is talking guitar. Thanks much to Steve Blucher – DiMa...
DiMarzio Gravity Storms Kick A**! 28 Sep 2012 | 08:07 pm
Earlier this year I got an awakening, in the form of checking out the YMI5150 Model-A axe. Lots to love there, but the awakening was the DiMarzio Super Distortion. Really a re-awakening because I’d us...
Skynyrd Covered: Gear (Part 2) 12 Sep 2012 | 09:05 pm
[Part 1 of this post is here.] Have to borrow a line from Homer Simpson: Ahhhhhhhhh, gear. Anyhow, some tunes – like “The Needle and the Spoon” and “Simple Man” – sound like period-correct gear and to...
