Hell, there never was enough glam records to begin with. I can't fault them for making another one. There other stuff is great as well...but what's wrong with releasing something a little different. - -Z On Wed, 13 Feb 2002 Redlabour@cs.com wrote: > > Greetings, > > If "Rock Star God" is the one where they dress like glam rock guys, > then that might not be the CD to get. > > I highly recommend "Howel" from 1993, "All-Night Riot" from 1994, > and "Hunger" from 1997.

There's alot of other old amps out there that sound great and can be found pretty cheap. I've got a '67 Guild Maverick w/ 2x10" speakers - about 25 watts and it looks awesome and sounds better! I forgot what I paid for it - but it was probably around 100 dollars. It's great for small club gigs, and it could be miked at bigger gigs. it's perfect for recording too. Jahnna mentioned old Ampeg combos - they're by far the most under-rated US made amps in the vintage market. I've got a Sound City Concord 2x12 combo that SMOKES any fender or marshall - and it's 50 watts of blissful tone. The lead guitarist in my band (The Anderson Council) used his SC Concord on our CD Coloursound. These amps aren't common, but can be found under $500. If you go to http://www.mp3.com/andersoncouncil - listen to the first 2 songs ('67 and Hole in The Sky) you can hear good examples. (well - with his tone bender fuzz box). - -Rob TheReedGuy@aol.com wrote: > Hey thanks for the responses to the amp stuff.
