Get thee to a pawn shop! I know it's hard to believe that anything worth playing can be found in a pawn shop in this day and age, but I tell you, it CAN be done! Yes, you will have to wade through a mountain of Jackson/Charvel-type SHIT before you find a worthy axe, and yes, it may take a lot of visits to a lot of different pawn shops, but eventually you WILL find one...my friend scored a 70s Gibson SG for $300, and just last week I saw a VERY cool-looking 60s Epiphone (similar to the one Tyler from the Mooney Suzuki plays) for a paltry $135 - it will take time to find them, but the bargains are THERE!

Most of the songs on them have been reissued since with better sound quality.

Joe Venuti, a big-band violinist, is the first No. 1. 1937 - John Gorman, vocalist with British novelty acts the Scaffold (who also boasted Paul McCartney's brother in the line-up) and the Grimms, is born. 1942 - Jazz guitarist John McLaughlin, who as well as founding the Mahavishnu Orchestra is also a good pal of Santana, is born in Yorkshire. 1946 - Vocalist Arthur Conley is born in Atlanta. The Otis Redding protégé scored a 1967 No. 2 with "Sweet Soul Music." 1954 - Elvis Presley makes that first famous private recording for his mother. The two songs he records are Casual Love Affair and I'll Never Stand in Your Way. 1957 - Fats Domino records "I'm Walkin'." The tune will become his sixth top 10 hit. 1957 - Louis Jordan records "Nobody Knows You when You're Down and Out." 1957 - Tonight on The Steve Allen Show, boxer Joe Louis introduces soul singer Solomon Burke, who performs one of Louis' own compositions "You Can Run, But You Can't Hide." 1962 - In a sign of their burgeoning local popularity, the as-yet-unsigned Beatles top Mersey Beat's poll for best group. 1963 - In London, Bob Dylan spends his second day shooting the TV play Madhouse in Castle Street. 1964 - Today's issue of Billboard assesses the new Beatles single "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." The writer says, "This is the hot British group that has struck gold overseas. Side A is a driving rocker with surf-on-the-Thames sound and strong vocal work from the group." 1965 - CBS pay $13 million for the Fender Guitars company, the makers of the mighty Telecaster, founded in 1947 by Leo Fender. 1967 - No. 1 Billboard Pop Hit: "I'm a Believer,'' the Monkees. At seven weeks, this becomes the longest-running No. 1 song since the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand.'' 1970 - George Harrison records the second guitar solo for "Let It Be." It's the last Beatles recording session to feature Harrison, Paul McCartney and George Martin, as well as the last recording session of the Beatles as a band. 1971 - At London's Abbey Road studios, Pink Floyd begin sessions for Meddle, the follow-up to their 1970 album Atom Heart Mother. The same month director Stanley Kubrick asks the band if he can use Atom Heart Mother to soundtrack A Clockwork Orange. The band say no. 1971 - Mick Jagger's film Performance premiers in London. 1973 - Australia announces that they have placed an "entry ban" on an un-named member of the Rolling Stones. The Immigration Ministry lifts the ban five days later, but the Stone's identity is never revealed. 1976 - Beatles road manager Mal Evans comes to a bizarre end in Los Angeles. He's shot by LAPD marksmen after threatening them with a rifle at his girlfriend's apartment. 1979 - Hamburg's Star Club re-opens. The German venue is best known as one of the early haunts of the Beatles in their pre-stardom days. 1986 - Thin Lizzy's bassist-singer Phil Lynott dies aged 35 in the intensive care unit of Salisbury Infirmary in England. His kidneys, liver and heart failed due to blood poisoning and multiple internal abscesses caused by drug abuse. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2002 01:29:54 EST From: Tthunders@aol.com Subject: Re: favorite guitar solos My fuckin' god!!!!

When I saw Elliot's name I remembered something he one said. I know him pretty well, since '95, and the very first time we met (to have lunch at a restaurant), Elliot was talking about his contacting the Fender guitar people to see about doing a special guitar bearing his name. Then he said (paraphrasing somewhat): "You know, I think after Hendrix and Eric Clapton, I'm probably the most famous person ever to play a Strat". True story.

"Hold Me" by PJ Proby >>>>>>> i don't think i've ever heard PJ Proby but after reading the Ugly Things interview with Kim Fowley, i gotta check the guy out. oh and my choice for fav guitar solos is more guitar noise than solo - "lookin at you" by mc5. not the 66 breakout version, the single version. it's so random and unexpected that it is brilliant. - -jason killinger _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2002 07:42:52 From: "Jason Killinger" Subject: Re: Violent Femmes my brother used to steal tape boxes out of peoples cars at the beach, and he gave me a few of the tapes when i was like 10 and one of them was the first violent femmes tape. i still have the same tape somewhere. it probably wont work being 15 or so years old and played to hell. in my ignorance, i use to think that "children of the revolution" on blind leading the naked was their song, the only T-Rex song i know at the time was "get it on (bang a gong)". oh and if anyone likes 16 horsepower, there's some sort of connection between them and the violent femmes, i forget what it is... their good friends, one of them produced the other's album or something...i know that they are both big fans of the others music. - -jason killinger _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2002 00:48:57 -0700 From: ronald and karen sanchez Subject: Tom Jones+guitars guitars guitars > Tom Jones is Welsh, which is a very different breed. (a lot of my best friends are....) Besides that, remember Tom Jones And The Squires. The lead guitarist was Micky Gee. (see Dave Edmunds, Memfis Bend, etc)....say no more. Item #2: most popular used cd: Monster/REM. Just in montana you could easily buy 500 copies. No Joke. Funny that this is often listed as their weakest. I rate is as the first good one they did for Warners, the ones that have followed have also been faves of mine. Item #3: guitar solos: that's a tough one, cause there is always some record with a surprising blast of guitar. I remember listening to Fats Domino with several famous Welsh guitarists, and all of us left speechless. ok now?

Well "the boys who have made all of the noise" for the last 25 years have covered both Lonely Bull and Tijuana Taxi at various times. Also, go and have a listen to Legend Of A Wheelman and dig the completely cheesy Herb Alpert trumpet solo. Btw, the same album contains a reference to Sylvester (another Bomp worthy?) courtesy of Marek's falsetto on Right Side Of A Good Thing. Obviously, such references may not immediately hit you over the head but if you are a music fan then they will eventually make themselves apparent. Hm, such subtlety from a band accused of being rather unsubtle! So once more, I sit here and here and think to myself about all of the musical references that the 'Tones have incorporated into *their* trash down the years, only to see the same elements acknowledged and then utilised by others. But baby, that is rock'n'roll.
